 I go in and out the fear of being unconscious ripping my eyes open. They fall with just Leo in my apartment, and when they open again there’s three new people. It feels like I’m under water, but I can still hear them. “One of you bring her down to the van. The other two of you clean up anything that can be tracked back to us. Bitch had a gun and nicked me a bit. Make sure there’s no blood laying around here anywhere. Find the letters we sent her then get out of here. Don’t bother cleaning up anything else. There’s a lot of people and we weren’t exactly quiet. I don’t want anybody reporting this.” I hear the clack of a few feet. “Oh, and just to warn you.” There’s a slight pause. “If any of you touch her…I’ll execute you in front of your family.” There’s a second pause before they start walking again.
