Nicole looked at the needle that stuck out from her chest. After the pain, she felt a dense soreness and numbness. She felt that half of her body was stiff and numb.
After the shock, she felt the fear of having escaped a calamity.
She should be thankful that the gun was not real.
It was just a scary tranquilizer gun.
Cold sweat started to break out all over her body after she came to her senses.
Nicole almost forgot that she was in the territory of an arms dealer. Was she not just creating trouble for herself?
In front of her, Caleb's face changed. He had a cold and evil look on his face when he stared at her. He then looked at her sternly.
"It seems that I was too polite to you before, Ms. Stanton. You can stay somewhere else tonight."
After saying that, Caleb walked around her and left.
Nicole did not feel good. She did not know how strong the anesthetic was.
The numbness started from her chest. Half of her body went numb and gradually spread to her whole body.
This feeling of losing control of her body was terrible.
Then, her eyes flipped back, and she fainted.
When Nicole opened her eyes again, she was not in the room she was in before.
She had expected that she would not be treated the way she was before.
It was too late to regret anything.
She could only blame it on her bad luck.
Nicole gritted her teeth and looked around.
She was instantly shocked.
This room was ramshackle and airtight. A dim light swung and swayed overhead, creating flickering shadows. It was extremely stuffy, and she felt breathless.
In the opposite corner, more than a dozen girls were crouching on the floor.
They looked at Nicole warily, but also sympathetically.
More than anything, they were expressionless.
Those girls did not look old. The youngest was only 11 or 12 years old, and the oldest was 27 or 28 years old. They were mostly adolescent girls.
Their eyes were so ignorant, fearful, or innocent.
Nicole’s heart sank.
She coughed. Her voice was hoarse. Her body was still sore and numb, but the after-effects of the anesthesia were not so strong anymore.
Nicole could barely sit up on her own.
It was dark all around, and it looked like it was already nighttime.
"This is..."
Nicole asked tentatively.
