Chapter 13 Running away
Jane shivered a bit when Wendy mentioned it, but she also foresaw it, she’d have to do the job sooner or later. All that night, Jane could not sleep, she lay in bed thinking silently, she thought about her bitter fate and really wanted to find a way to escape here. But when he recalled the scene today, a girl was brutally beaten to death for trying to escape, and Demut’s angry eyes looked at girls like Jane with strong threats, Jane’s heart softened and tremble more than ever.
Because she was too weak to fear that she would be killed if she escaped or maybe it was just a temporary excuse, it was actually due to her shy nature and lack of resistance or courage rise up, fight for freedom strongly in her place.
While Jane was engrossed in her own confused thoughts, a scream of a girl screaming loudly made everyone in the room startled awake.
Jane looked around and discovered that there was only her, Wendy and another girl in the room, and the other two girls were probably called by Demut to train before, without Jane noticing. Here people don’t have pajamas if they are still in the training period given by Demut, so all three girls are wearing the thin skirts that Demut has been distributing during the past few days. It is really uncomfortable because it’s pretty dirty with smells bad, and even Jane herself is extremely uncomfortable with it, but she’s been here so Jane has to accept it.
Jane and Wendy turned on the light and went to the door to see what was happening outside, Wendy noticed that there was no one outside, so she pushed the door open and motioned for Jane to follow her out. The two went to the main room of the basement and saw the body of a man with a knife in his chest bleeding all over his luxurious vest along with several people with gunshot wounds lying paralyzed on the ground. Besides, a hot-dressed beautiful girl, looking at everyone around her with a panicky expression and losing her temper with a pistol in her hand, more specifically she pointed the pinned gun at Demut’s head that she trying to hold body of that woman in her arms.
Demut panicked a bit, telling everyone to back away so this young girl moved slowly to the outside of the bar. Jane realizes that the person holding Demut hostage is none other than Melly, a girl who lives in her room. It was Melly who had been chatting happily with her this morning, but now this happened because of this.
In that tense atmosphere, Booth slowly approached to comfort Melly, he gave a big paper with red marks to soothe and talk to Melly about the incident that was happening right now. He graciously said:
“Melly, as long as you let go of Demut, I will give you the bust paper. Moreover, the fact that you killed Mr. Garton when he wanted to rape you, I will also ignore it and find a way to hide it. Haven’t you benefited too much? That’s why you should obediently let Demut go.”
Melly angrily shouted:
“You lied, I could never believe a bunch of assholes like you. Did you guys hurt me like this? You should all die, you damned vermin.”
She glared at Demut’s henchmen warningly as she lifted her bare feet, moving slowly toward the outside of the bar. Wendy saw the scene, she noticed a shotgun lying on the floor nearby and then Wendy turned to look at poor Jane in the dirty red dress. She thought for a moment and then quickly said:
“Jane, listen to me. No matter what, she had to survive and leave this place. Don’t look back and run fast. I am happy to be your friend.”
Jane was extremely surprised by Wendy’s action, she did not have time to react, Wendy grabbed her hand and ran towards Melly, she quickly grabbed the gun on the ground and fired multiple shots in the direction of Demut’s henchmen, Booth was shot by one of Wendy’s, so he was even more angry, holding another gun in his hand, aiming it at Wendy and attacking.
At this moment, Melly let go of Demut, she aimed straight at Booth, shot him a fatal shot in the head, causing him to fall dead on the spot. As soon as Demut was released, she quickly took a gun of one of her subordinates and shot it at Melly. But she was lucky to dodge in time, Melly, Wendy and Jane ran to the top of the bar to escape this place. Unfortunately, when approaching the door of outer freedom, Demut caught up, Melly and Demut had a fierce gun battle, she urged Wendy and Jane to run quickly, quickly get out of here, and she was left alone to stop Demut.
Hearing that, Wendy took Jane’s hand and ran together quickly, but after running for a while, both girls were chased by Demut’s henchmen and followed closely from behind. One of them shot a bullet through Wendy’s leg, causing her to bleed and fall. Right now, Wendy looked down at her leg with blood flowing from the bullet wound, she tried to get up with Jane’s help but couldn’t. Finally, Wendy made a bold decision, she pushed Jane away and shouted:
“Hurry up, Jane, I’ll stay here. My leg is injured, I can’t run far.”
Jane shook her head in protest.
“No, I will stay here with you. I’m not going anywhere, I will help you.”
Wendy snapped:
“Jane, don’t let Melly’s sacrifice go in vain, I don’t want all of us running out here to die, at least it would be better if one is lucky enough to survive. Hurry up, don’t make me lose my strength anymore.”
Jane was still hesitant, didn’t want to leave, Wendy continued to urge:
“Don’t you want to find your family again? Hurry, they’re coming.”
Jane had to turn around and run away, she cried while thinking about Wendy. Jane recalls the brief time when being with and being friends with Wendy, even though it was only for a few days, Jane considered Wendy like a close sister, not just as a roomate. Because after what happened for Jane, Wendy is the kindest girl she has ever met in her life.
Jane ran away unconsciously, she tried to run as fast as possible, leaving that place to escape the intense pursuit of four of Demut’s underlings who were following her from behind. And then fortunately for Jane, a sudden rain fell into the night sky, causing them to temporarily lose track of Jane, as she managed to find a large box with lid behind big trash cans in an alley.
Because the surrounding was the stench of garbage, they were afraid to get dirty, so they accidentally ignored it. In addition, the wet rain made them wet, so they had to temporarily stop somewhere to hide, when the rain stopped, they would continue to search. Because they can’t return to the bar because according to Demut’s instructions, Jane is a good prey so it can’t be lost, must find it and bring it back there.
On the side of Wendy, she was dragged by one of Demut’s subordinates to punish her, he did not want her to die from blood loss, so he ordered someone to bandage her leg wound temporarily. Returning to the bar, Wendy was repeatedly slapped on the cheek by Demut and beaten heavily on the back with a heavy whip. As a result, Wendy lost strength and fainted on the spot, she was lying on the cold ground with many scars, the whip was imprinted on the skin and the thin, tattered skirt.
Demut can’t swallow this anger, so right now she will torture Wendy in the most brutal way, that is to let her serve ten men at the same time even though her body is now full of scars. But suddenly, no one predicted, the door of the bar opened, a man with monolids, dressed a bit ridiculously with a few people following was enter. Randall smiled humorously said:
“I came at the right time, it seems that it is very busy here. Did I miss some fun?”
Demut looked at Randall entering and immediately changed her attitude, she was no longer angry or irritated, but instead had a fake smile on her lips. Demut warmly welcomes distinguished guest Randall:
“Oh, you rarely come on a normal day, I thought you only came on weekends.”
Randall glanced around, chose a position opposite to sat down and said:
“Yes, but I need to buy someone urgently today because I have a bit of work on the weekend.”
Demut was more than happy to hear Randall say that, because it was rare for this guy to spend money on a girl at her place. Maybe he bought it for some purpose. Demut happily asked:
“So what kind of girl do you need? I will send someone to bring it here.”
Randall replied nonchalantly:
“Still the same, new goods.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Demut is a bit awkward because Randall’s requirements are often very high, his selection is always aimed at beautiful and virgin girls to sell at high prices to rich guys who want to change their hobbies, so It is very difficult to find such a person in the current situation. Because most of the girls have been trained by Demut and have slept with several men. And then she paused for a moment when Demut suddenly realized something, she turned to look at Wendy lying on the ground and then at Randall with a friendly smile:
“I have a girl I guarantee you will like, however the price will be more than double because she caused a great deal of damage to our bar. I was going to kill her from that moment on.”
Randall smiled and replied:
“Okay, let me see the goods.”
Demut sent someone to help Wendy sit up for Randall to see her face. Randall, after watching, expressed doubts and asked again:
“Broken like this, you ask for a higher price? Ridiculous.”
Demut insolently replied:
“She’s a good product that’s why she’s priced that way. If you don’t buy it, go somewhere else.”
Demut thought for a bit and made his final decision, he would buy Wendy and send someone to give Demut money. Randall sent one of his subordinates to carry Wendy on his shoulder and put her in the car to leave quietly into the night.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on a luxurious bed surrounded by bandages and antiseptic. Wendy was startled when a man was dedicated to treating a gunshot wound to her leg. She was injected with an anesthetic by him that made Wendy feel sleepy and fell asleep immediately.
At the same time, on the quiet street with the rain getting heavier and heavier, Jane was hiding in a box next to an empty alley suddenly feeling colder and more lonely than ever. Jane had never experienced this feeling, as someone thrown out of this society and pursued by traffickers. Are they still there? When it stopped raining, she would run as fast as possible if they were still following her. It was exhausting and full of challenges that Jane had to overcome.
And then falling asleep despite the raindrops falling on the lid, Jane remembered Wendy, she was so worried about her friend but now she really couldn’t do anything, but a helpless helpless the end of a body exhausted from running away. Maybe Jane needed a short nap to regain her strength after spending the past few difficult days.
