Bab 70: CCK (13)

Miles away, in the middle of nowhere, a girl was struggling to be let free. Her eyes were blindfolded while her hands were tied to her sides. Her feet were spread like a cross and she was lying on a soft mattress which was covered with a plastic casing.

The girl was scared and confused as she tried to scream but her lips would not move.

What's happening? She thought in a panic. She was in her late twenties, a working woman at a small office. Her work ended around 8 PM and she took the last bus which dropped her near her home. The woman was walking up the street, hurrying towards her house where her children were being cared for by a babysitter. Her husband had been dead for many years and she was raising them on her own.

At that moment, all she could think of how her children were at home, wondering where their mother was.
