Capítulo 53: Carmen's Backstory (2)

Carmen tried to open her eyes, but it was dark. Something was blocking her view. When she tried to move her arms and legs, they were immobile. ‘Mommy? Daddy?’ she called out.

‘Hey, she’s awake. Go see what she wants,’ she heard someone say.

‘So you’re smart, right? If you behave while we wait for your parents to give us the money, we will give you back to them,’ a male voice said. ‘Don’t bother running away, or I will hurt you.’

When they removed the covering for her eyes, all she could see was the man’s face covered in a black mask, showing only his eyes and his mouth. What she couldn’t forget was that he had these big, scary, dark brown eyes that glared at her.

Carmen started shaking as tears fell down her face. She felt scared, but she knew she had to get away, get back to her family. These evil men beat up their driver, so they would probably beat her up, too.
