Novel & Cerita Hangman's Alley

So instead I focused on getting to my workplace. I used the dark alley, which was familiar most times, but today I could feel fear threading through the pit of my stomach. I walked through the dark alley to the back door; a neon red sign that read “EXIT” was my way in. As I pushed the door open, entering through a dark, windowless hallway, a slow thumping beat echoed through the walls. I passed by the main stripper bar to see women on poles, clad in nothing but net clothing that left little to the imagination.

Cole deliberately took a shadowed alleyway, not knowing where it led, but trying to lead his tracker to an isolated spot where they couldn’t possibly attract the slightest of attention. “This place doesn’t lead anywhere, the end of it, is a dump, packed with dumpsters, and gated,” Hallec warned in barely a whisper. “It’s perfect then,” Cole replied. When they were almost to the end of the alleyway, they saw a sharp corner to the left and took it. Cole quickly pulled Hallec to stand still, and they both pressed hard against the sidewall with their backs hugging the concrete fence.

The days that followed, I went to that alley every single day. The alley looked just like it had years ago. The graffiti on the walls had changed a few times, but the streetlamp was still the same dim yellow. I'd sit on the steps beneath it, hugging my knees, waiting from dusk till dark—watching silhouettes come and go at the mouth of the alley, shadows stretching long and then shrinking short.

"That....I think Master might check on Eldest young master when he comes home." A/n: Back alley- is the same word for 'street' mentioned in the previous chapters. It is a place where illegal trades and dealings often happened. Manager King's business is also located in Back alley. This is where Suzie spent her teenage years to adulthood after she and her grandmother lost their house.

In the dimly lit down alleyway, a wolf moves with calculated grace. Its fur, a sleek coat of midnight black, glimmered under the moonlight as it navigated the narrow passages with a blend of grace and precision. Daniel’s keen senses led him through the labyrinth of the alleyway, following the lingering scent of the rogues. The primal symphony of faint growl and screeched still echoed in the air, a haunting reminder of the recent confrontations. As he arrived in the alleyway’s small gang, Daniel began to slow his step. His keenness heightened as he tried to trail the remnants of the rogue's scent.

Clearly, you’re not capable of understanding that. The lawyer smirked. ‘Save your lectures, Miss Hawthorne. It’s clear we’re not compatible. I don’t have time for someone who can’t bring financial stability to the table. Instead of wasting your time with me, I suggest you try your luck at Crimson Alley.’ Crimson Alley was a historic entertainment district in the city of Steinheim, known for its vibrant nightlife, bars, and…street prostitution. Callie’s face contorted with anger as she glared at Joshua, her hand gripping the coffee cup tightly. ‘You think you can just waltz in here and insult me like that?’

Instead, the alley branched out into several crooked paths. The dark alley resembled a beast crouching in the dark, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap. She clenched the broom handle tightly as she sensed that something was off. After she turned on her phone's flashlight, she advanced further into the alley. As she moved, she called out to Sheila, her voice gradually rising. "Sheila? Sheila, are you there?" Hannah wasn't exactly sure when Sheila got into trouble in her past life. She was a genius in company management, and all that Hannah could remember was that her sudden death made Joseph lose his sanity.

I stood there on the sidewalk, my legs shaking so badly I stumbled towards a wall to lean against so I could stay upright. My phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number. My fingers trembled as I unlocked the screen. Unknown: Morrison Alley. 11 PM. Come alone or mommy dearest pays the price. Bile rose up my throat. Everyone in the city knew Morrison Alley, it was the kind of place people avoided after sunset.

You must know I could never betray you'. The alley came up on us before I realized we had turned off the main street. It was narrow, flanked by tall buildings on either side, the kind of passage easy to wander into. My footsteps padded quietly on the cracked concrete as I followed Harry, echoing faintly between the walls. “Harry?” I called, slowing a little as I stared at the end of the alley. It was a dead end, just a grimy wall with faded graffiti and a rusted dumpster nearby. He didn’t respond. I stopped walking and looked around, confused. “Harry, what are we—”

" Hey , I'm in the eleventh alley, I assume you're already at the alley? " " Yea I've been here for a while, " " Any signs of him?" " Not at all, either everyone one here is part of this planned coup or they were all created perfectly. There have been no errors or accidents for an alley." " That's quite suspicious " " Exactly, it's almost nine , when he or possibly she comes we'll know what's up." " Okay then". Alaric kept observing. At exactly nine pm he saw a black Honda Jeep pull up at the dark corner of the Street. A person in black hoodie came out and started walking to the entrance of the alley with hands in the pocket of the hoodie.
