After hanging up the phone, the man in black immediately made a call to dispatch more people.
Sophie Sullivan ran wildly, her high heels becoming her greatest obstacle.
Without hesitation, she bent down, took off her high heels, and carried them in her hand as she continued to run.
Her elegant skirt fluttered, drawing graceful arcs in the sky.
She didn't dare to look back. When she was too exhausted to run any further, she hid in a flower bush by the side of the road. Peering through the gaps in the leaves and branches, she saw no one chasing her. Relief washed over her.
It was summer, and the flower bush was teeming with buzzing insects that were incredibly annoying. What was worse, the skin exposed by her skirt was covered in mosquito bites. She was so busy scratching with all ten fingertips that she didn't notice the approaching footsteps.
It wasn't until a strong flashlight beam shone down on her that she realized she had been discovered!
