Chapter 4

Emily is totally cornered...

She thinks of running but she doesn't know if she would be able to outrun these people.

Just as the thugs are taking out their weapons, someone comes and grabs Emily's hand. Emily glances up to the person and smiles. It's Mr. Remun.

"Shouldn't you be off now? Or would you like to like to stay and explain your wrongdoing with the police?" Mr. Remun asks sternly.

The thugs begin to withdraw their weapons and back away.

"Go on then. Or you'll know what'll happen." Mr. Remun holds his phone in the air so the thugs can see. Seeing the blue phone they run, they run for their lives, not even turning back once.

Mr. Remun places his phone in his trouser pocket and looks at Emily.

"Thank you Mr. Remun. For saving me - again." Emily says.

"No problem. But you should be more careful in the future." Mr. Remun tells Emily.

"Of course Mr. Remun. I will." Emily noads understandingly.

Mr. Remun smiles.

"Would you like me to escort you home?"

"If you're not too busy then yes, thank you." Emily responds.

Mr. Remun walks home with Emily as she sighs happily for having Mr. Remun there.

Emily waves at Mr. Remun and closes the doors. She walks over to the kitchen and takes 2 packs of noodle soup. She boils the kettle and places the noodles into two bowls. Adding the last remains of the seasoning, she takes the kettle and pours the water into the bowls.

Taking both bowls upstairs, she takes one into Elliott's room and the other to her own room.

She sits down on her bed and goes on Toonbi while eating her noodle soup. She goes through the same procedure: checking new posts of her favorite followers, reading any new messages and checking if Isaac has sent a message yet.

Since there wasn't much on today, Emily places the empty bowl on the small draw next to her bed and props herself back on the soft pillow and closes her eyes to sleep.
