She dashed after the kidnapper immediately. To her misfortune, the man was very fast. With her high-heeled shoes being more of a hindrance now than ever, she tossed them aside before she sprinted after the man barefoot.
The man was currently running through one of the less-walked paths of the zoo, which was paved with gravel. As such, the path was uneven and incredibly painful, as the sharp rocks dug into the tender undersides of her feet.
“C’mon, c’mon, faster!”
She managed to snag the man right as he was about to stuff Kyle into a car.
Her hand darted down to grab a few of the silver needles that she had always carried with her. Raising one of them, she jabbed it down into the abductor’s neck.
“How dare you touch Kyle! I’m going to stab you to death!”
Well-versed in the art of acupuncture, she knew exactly where to stab, to inflict the most pain. Thus, two more stabs from her, and the man began to howl in agony. She gave him a vicious kick for good measure.
“You b****! I’ll kill-”
He did not get to finish his sentence as a small pebble smacked him right in the eye.
“Who did that!”
The words had barely left his mouth when another pebble struck him in his other eye.
“Ahh!” he wailed as his hands instinctively flew up to his stinging eyes.
Kyle glanced at Nicole and pointed out, “Grab that thick branch!”
Spinning her head around, she spotted the branch that he had spoken of, as she soon dashed over to pick it up.
“Where do you think I should hit him, Kyle?”
“His arms and his legs.”
Since he used his arms to restrain me and his legs to escape, those places shall be the areas where he gets punished!
“Okay!
Brandishing the branch as a makeshift club, Nicole started to whack his limbs as hard as she could.
Just as she was enjoying herself, several men came running over. They were most likely the man’s accomplices.
“We can’t win against so many men. Let’s go!” She swiftly grabbed Kyle’s hand and tugged him along, as they bolted out of the vicinity.
They did not stop running until they exited the deserted path. Soon, they returned to the more crowded areas. She heaved a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay?”
“You alright?”
They asked each other simultaneously.
“I’m okay. What about you, Kyle?”
The little boy shook his head in response. His gaze moved down and he noticed that Nicole’s feet were bleeding. Just the sight of them had him internally wincing in sympathetic pain.
The woman followed his eyes and looked down. Upon seeing the crimson red staining her feet, she let out a yelp of pain.
