Little Cutie asked in such haste that Molly was in an instant reminded of the entire horrible scene that unfolded before her eyes: The sharp blade of the knife cut through Spark's palm and the blood flowed all across his hands with such pressure. Just thinking about it, her breathing got faster and she was gripped by anxiety all of a sudden. She caught Little Cutie immediately and struggled to breathe. Obviously, she wanted to say something but she felt like something was blocking her throat and she could not speak now. She tried repeatedly only to fail, not a sound came from her mouth.
Just watching Molly's strange and restless actions, Little Cutie too got tensed and anxious as she spoke, "Molly, don't panic. Take a deep breath, calm down and slow your thoughts. Just take your time and try to speak again but slowly this time!" The entire scene was scary and tense. Little Cutie swallowed and continued, "I just called up Wing. She is on the way and should be here soon."
"Will Wing come here?" That might have been the only good news Molly heard today. She felt that the savior was coming and therefore she asked again anxiously to confirm what she just heard.
Little Cutie nodded to assure her, "Yes, she is coming."
Hearing her affirmative answer, Molly got up from the ground disregarding her numbing pain and with a hint of embarrassment walked towards the street. Little Cutie followed Molly's steps almost immediately.

After Brian ended the call, Wing drove at the fastest possible speed to the dumped factory. While the factory was slowly appearing in her view, Wing pressed the break to come to a grinding halt as she opened the tool kit on the seat next to her and grabbed the micro gun from it. She had never used it on anyone before. But as a woman who grew up in XK Intelligence Agency, it was impossible not to have the ability to use a gun.
She squinted at the small firearm with her big brooding eyes. She held it tightly in her fingers for a while to get familiar with this piece of equipment. She then concealed it in the back of her pant at the waist. After swiftly putting it all together, she restarted the car and began to accelerate towards the abandoned factory.
As she passed a block of houses, a pair of eyes concealed in a house watched Wing passing through the block carefully. That woman's face then pulled into a sly and content smile in the face of darkness. The smile indicated a hidden cold and homicidal intent. A soft yet cold voice came through in the darkness, "Goodbye..." Then with a half squint she said to the air, "Molly, please enjoy your rest splendid life!"
Upon saying that, the smile spread across her whole face, even the eyes were glistening in hopes of the horror that was yet to unfold. She expressed extreme happiness and satisfaction as though Wing's arrival cemented her success. Then she picked up the inter-phone, pressed the key, and said softly, "one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, good braking performance and good stability on the ground. And the rest is all dependent on you."
"Yes, madam!" She sighed a relief on the inter-phone eventually, "I have waited so long for this moment..."
She put down the inter-phone. The determined voice continued to haunt the thin cold night air, "It is time, the daughter should pay for her father's debt... Molly, you may never understand... how it feels to lose your family!" The cold voice shadowed a tone of sorrow and laced with misery.

Wing did not move her foot away from the accelerator pedal to slow down the car not even as she neared the factory. On the contrary, as she drew closer to the factory, she continued to speed the vehicle at an unbelievable speed.
