This text message was like a kind of countdown, like the last second before the explosion. Sonia stared at the message on the phone screen for a long time, without speaking. When she turned the phone screen off, the streetlights outside also gradually dimmed, just like the light inside her heart swallowed by the darkness bit by bit.
Sonia never went back to Floyd. But she didn't expect Floyd to come to her.
That day, Sonia just came home. She sensed someone following behind her. When she turned around to see, her mouth was covered with a piece of cloth before she could react. Sonia's eyes widened as she immediately held her breath!
If she breathed now, she would breathe in the knockout drugs on the cloth, like ether. After all these, Sonia had been through, she had developed a strong sense of defensiveness. She pretended to be unconscious. And then she took advantage of her opponent's inattention to strike directly, hooking her fingers into claws and hitting the man's throat!
The man in black didn't expect Sonia to have such good physical defense skills. He stepped back, which was exactly what Sonia wanted him to do. Sonia kicked him in a flash. That man was caught off guard and was kicked in the abdomen. He retched and fell backward. Then, he was just lying on the ground and coughing.
Sonia stared at the man, twisted his hands directly behind his back, and held him down. She finished the processes in a fluid, smooth manner. The man in black was subdued on the spot by a woman who seemed to be so defenseless!
He didn't have time to be shocked. Sonia pressed on the back of his head to let him face down to the ground. And she took out her phone and made a call. Then, a bunch of people rushed out of the house.
Queenie, in particular, was holding a baseball bat in her hand and shouted, "Which son of a bitch is trying to take advantage of my Sonia?"
The man in black who was held down on the ground thought to himself, 'Come on, lady! Look at me, and look at her! Then tell me who is being bullied! How could I take advantage of her? I want to cry now!'
Queenie, Leon, and Carl, who was cracking his knuckles, rushed out and froze.
