She was suddenly reminded of something. Annie said she’s engaged. I wonder what her fiancé looks
like. They grew up together, and Annie would tell her anything in her life.
Someone knocked on the door, and she opened it to find Richard standing outside. He he said, “Pack
up. We’re leaving in ten minutes.”
“Ten minutes?” That’s too short!
“That’s all the time you have. You’re still coming with us even if you aren’t finished,” Richard said
imperiously.
Angela blinked. I feel like a soldier now. She nodded. “Fine. I’ll do my best.” She got herself a bag and
packed her important stuff up. She also packed her clothes and shoes, of course, then she looked in
the mirror and tied her hair up. She looked at the time again. Two minutes left. She opened the door
and came out quickly.

Angela came over, and Trevor opened the door for her happily. “Come in, Miss Meyers.”
Angela looked inside, and there was already somebody there-Richard. Angela got in the car without
hesitation. She didn’t buckle herself up after settling in, and Richard looked at her. “Buckle up.”
Angela did as she was told. Trevor got in the car as well and turned around. “I got good news for you,
Miss Meyers. Dexter’s arrested.”
Angela looked at him in surprise.”How did you know that?”
“My friend found out he’s involved in prostitution, so we snitched.”
Angela felt better after hearing that. “Thanks for helping.”
“No problem.” Trevor was happy seeing her happy.
The car drove out of the steel gates and headed for the highway, which was some distance away.
Angela looked outside the
window. She wondered where they were taking her, but she decided not to ask. It wasn’t important.
They could take her to the ends of the world, and she wouldn’t care.
“Want a candy, Miss Meyers?” Trevor turned around and handed her a lollipop.
Angela’s eyes shone, and she took it. “Thank you.”
“What about you, captain?” Trevor asked Richard. He had been silent the whole time.
“No,” Richard refused.
Angela noticed that Trevor still had a lollipop in hand, so she took it happily. “I’ll take it for him.” She
took it and looked at Richard. He was still as silent as usual. This is gonna be a boring journey.
She thought they would stop and have a meal, but the team kept going on and on. There was only
bread and water in the car, and they would only stop to change drivers. Angela felt sore a while later,
and she was sleepy.
Her head would swing around when she was trying to sleep, causing her to feel uncomfortable and

Richard looked at the sleepy lady and adjusted his position. Angela moved to. the center and leaned on
his shoulder, and in a few seconds, she fell asleep.
Trevor looked back and gave Richard a look that said, ‘Nice, captain’.
The journey went on for more than ten hours, and they came into the mountains. They kept going on

when the car bumped. She looked outside, but it was dark. Finally, she saw light coming from the top of
a mountain, but they were dim.
The car drove toward the mountain, and they entered a secret cave. The entrance wasn’t big, but the
insides were more than met the eye. It was filled with high-tech stuff, and it was exactly like those
secret governmental departments she saw in the movies.
