Out of her survival instinct, Gloria Taylor struggled hard and fell to the ground with the chair.
“Damn it!”
The kidnapper was pissed off. He kicked her stomach and reached out his hand to grab her hair to pull her back up.
His kick was a little too strong. Gloria Taylor was covered in cold sweats.
She was thinking of how she could avoid the man’s disgusting hands.
The man was pulling her hair to get her back up. Suddenly, the door was kicked open from outside. It made a loud noise.
Bang!
Gloria Taylor’s hair was torn and her head was hurt. She pursed her lips while looking at the door.
She saw a familiar figure standing at the doorway. Her fear that she held back flooded like a riptide. Her tears was pouring down her cheek.
Although her tears was falling, but she didn’t cry at all. Instead, she smiled and looked at the man at the doorway, “Leon, you’re here.”
Gloria Taylor realized that she could remain calm and confident because she was sure that someone would come and save her.
The one would come to save her must be the best among the people she knew and best of them all was Leon Clarke.
Kenny Clarke clenched his fists when he saw the situation inside. He was raging with anger and he was fearful like the devil from hell.
Both of the kidnappers were so frightened that their voice shook, “You… who are you?”
When the person surnamed Taylor told them to kidnap Gloria Taylor, they didn’t say that there would be a bunch of people coming to save her.
“You can ask this question again in the next life.” Kenny Clarke walked approaching the man. He said in a low and cold voice, “Because in this life, you won’t have the chance to know.”
He talked and walked slowly toward them. However, after a sudden fast movement, before they could see his action, they were smashed heavily to the ground. Soon, they curled up with pain.
Kenny Clarke crouched down and carefully propped her chair back up. He quickly untied her rope.
His face was flat, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. He looked terrible.
Gloria Taylor was worried after she found out that no one came in after Leon Clarke.
In other words, he came alone.
He asked her, “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. Why do you come alone?” she didn’t know how he found this place and it was risky for him to come alone.
“It’s enough even if I’m alone.”
He was bowing his head, so she couldn’t see his eyes.
“Go out and wait for me outside.” He said, almost like a command.
Gloria Taylor was relieved that he was confident. However, when she tried to lift her foot, she found out that she was weak and sore that she couldn’t walk at all.
Even though she appeared calm, unlike her heart, her body was honest.
She was scared.
Kenny Clarke stretched out his hand and pulled his tie off. He covered her eyes by tying it to her head. He pushed her to the chair so sit. Then, he pushed the chair to the corner of the room.
He whispered in a low voice, “It will be over soon.”
After that, Gloria Taylor heard the sound of fighting and shrieks. The smell of blood filled the room.
When the smell of blood was getting stronger, the shrieks quieted down.
Now, everything was silent.
