The girl's eyes glittered. The tears had dried on her face, but her eyes were swollen.
"You're finally here," she said in an aggrieved way.
Carlos narrowed his eyes, glanced at her, and then laid his eyes on the two punks.
Daunted by his gaze, they fell to their knees. The girl was stunned. Their attitude changed so fast.
She said nothing.
Carlos looked at the two punks but asked her, "Did they get their hands on you?"
Rolando and the other punk shook their heads. Quick in reaction, the sidekick said, "We didn't. It was just a joke, and she called you in time."
"They grabbed my hair and pulled my sleeve."
Carlos glanced at her. Her hair was indeed messy, and the white sleeve of her clothes was stained.
His eyes went cold in an instant.
The two punks panicked and shook their heads. They couldn't remember what they had done. Even if they did it, they would not admit it.
