LOGINStudying abroad can be incredibly lonely at times. That night, I was in my room, indulging in a little treat for myself, when my best friend suddenly burst through the door. "Doing it yourself is no fun. Come on. There's a super cool cabaret show going on. Let's go see it together!" On stage, my friend was reclining in a chair behind the curtain, with two strong-looking men on top of her. "Come on. Join us for a group dance..."

I'll tip you off when they come, and by then, this place will be empty. But if you touch me, Officer Fleming will make sure you pay the price. He'll risk everything to bring you down. You've heard of Officer Fleming, right? He's known for being ruthless." I figured, since Officer Fleming wasn't here, I could use his name to buy myself some time. I mentally apologized to him for it, but at this point, I needed to survive. The big boss looked out at the crowd below, and it seemed like my bluff was working. They had to look at the bigger picture. He probably thought that as long as they moved, they could keep their business running smoothly, with no harm done. They'd still rake in the money. There was no reason to risk the police coming after them."Alright, fine. You can go," he said, waving his hand dismissively.The gro
I stayed hidden in the bathroom stall, not daring to leave. Time dragged on, and the minutes seemed to stretch endlessly. Outside, Smith was growing more impatient by the second and finally stormed over."Hey, man. They're waiting for her. Are you done yet?" With that, he kicked the door open, his tone sharp and annoyed.But the moment he stepped inside, his eyes landed on John on the floor. He froze for a moment, clearly startled, and before he could make a move to escape, I slammed a stone into his head, knocking him out cold."You jerk," I muttered under my breath, kicking him once more for good measure before tossing the stone aside.The bathroom was empty, and no one was likely to come in, so I dragged both of them into the stall and shoved them out of sight.I was still in my stage outfit, which made me stick out like a sore thumb. If I walked out there, it would be like putting a target on my back for anyone looking for me.I glanced at Smith, who was shorter than John.
Trust no one—it's a lesson hard learned. I couldn't take my eyes off them as they walked ahead, their figures eerily similar to the dark-clad figures I had seen before.If they were really cops, then why hadn't the government intervened all the time the Crazy Show had been running? And why risk exposing their identities to help me? With so many girls here, why was I the lucky one to be chosen for help? Their story was full of holes, but my desperation for survival made it seem almost convincing. By the time I started questioning everything, it felt like it was already too late.I couldn't let myself be betrayed again—I had to save myself.I suddenly crouched down on the ground, clutching my stomach in pain.Hearing my movement, both of them turned back, their gazes full of uncertainty."John, I think I ate something bad today. My stomach hurts so badly. Can I please go to the bathroom?" I asked weakly.Smith rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed, muttering under his breath, "Women
My energy was running out, and just when I thought I might be doomed, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from around the corner. They yanked me roughly by the arm and pulled me into a room."Let go! I'm not going back to the show with you guys!" I hissed, not daring to even open my eyes while launching into a series of defensive moves.The man's grip was strong, and he held my wrist tightly, restraining me."Calm down. You're safe now," he said firmly.Safe?Was there even a safe place in this nightclub?I stopped struggling, and the man loosened his hold on my wrist. I carefully cracked my eyes open just a little, scanning my surroundings.The room looked just like the others, with a small transparent window on the door. Standing in front of me were John and Smith!But after everything strange that had happened here, I couldn't trust anyone."Why are you here? Why are you helping me?" I asked, taking two cautious steps back, eyeing them warily.Not wanting to scare me, the
