It was late at night, and only a few people were on the street.
Janet stood outside the cafe and stared at the minibus driving toward her. She broke into a cold sweat as the vehicle approached her.
The headlights of the minibus pierced into the dark alley. The car trundled into the street and halted in front of Janet. Just then, the door flew open. As Janet dropped her palm that was blocking the light, she saw several men storming out of the car. They were all dressed in black, wearing baseball caps and masks.
Janet looked up, and her gaze met one of the men's fierce eyes. It was the same man who had brought the spiked coffee for her in the cafe. He was the rapist Kent had mentioned earlier.
"Is this her?" The man in the lead walked forward and asked in a hushed voice.
Jocelyn had called them on short notice. They would do anything for money. Besides, they didn't know Jocelyn. The woman in front of him was wearing the same clothes and sunglasses as the one who had contacted them before. They thought she must be Jocelyn.
Hearing what they said, Janet breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like they didn't sense anything wrong. Janet had changed into Jocelyn's clothes, and it was late at night. That was probably why they didn't realize she was the wrong woman.
"Where are you taking her?" Janet subconsciously gripped Jocelyn's hand.
The men exchanged glances and burst out laughing.
