Fortunately, Charles’s car was new with a powerful engine, stopping at a very short distance, preventing them from crashing.
The two cars nearly hit, almost like a warning. Both Sarah and Charles were startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
Charles got out of the car to ask the driver what happened, but before he reached the vehicle, a group of strong men, masked with black stockings, rushed out of the woods, and one of them hit Charles on the back of the head with something heavy. Charles fainted immediately.
Sarah had been watching them and yelled, “Charles!” and was about to get off to help him when one of the masked men opened the car and pulled her out. Sarah finally understood what was going on. Trying to resist, she firmly grasped onto the car, struggling, as she asked, “Who are you? What are you doing? You are breaking the law, let me go, let me go!”
But her struggles were useless as the men were much stronger than her and pulled her out of the car with ease. Before she could do anything, her mouth and nose were covered with a clot, and she fainted after screaming wildly. Once she was out, one of the men carried her on his shoulder to the minibus opposite the road.
The next thing Sarah knew, someone was pouring a basin of water on her to wake her up. In this cold winter, the basin of water felt like a piercing blade itching on her body, causing her pain. She tried hard to open her eyes to look around but could only see a few strange fat men standing in front of her and staring at her indifferently.
She was tied onto a pillar in what seemed to be an abandoned warehouse.
Sarah immediately remembered what had happened and knew she had been kidnapped. Fearful, she stared at the men. “Who are you? What are you going to do?”
“Hum! You don’t need to know who we are!” One of them sneered at her.
“Why are you kidnapping me, you criminals?" Sarah shouted out.
“Hum, do you think people like us are afraid of being called criminals?” One man, who seemed to be the leader of them, sneered, holding a knife in his hand. The knife looked very sharp and frightened, Sarah.
Sarah had been staring at the knife the whole time. Although she was very frightened and nervous, she clenched her fist and tried to keep calm. At this time, she must not act rashly. She must calm down and think of ways to escape or to deal with them. After calming down, Sarah asked, “What did you do to Charles? Where is he?”
“You're kidnapped and tied up in an abundant warehouse, and you ask about your man before yourself? Aha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” The leader laughed ironically.
Sarah didn’t know what he meant and was afraid that something might happen to Charles from the way he got hit before she was kidnapped. She shouted again. “What on earth did you do to Charles?”
