Han Luo groggily opened her eyes. It was dark and smelly. She didn't know where she was. She could sense that wherever she was, it was bumping a lot. Her body was jerking and she felt pain.
'Where am I…' she couldn't think anymore as her head was all fuzzy. She drifted back to sleep.

Just when Han Luo and Nana Shimizu stood up, they bumped into the tattoo guy. He was smirking at them.
"Well, well, well, look who it is? She even brought another beautiful girl with her," he stated. "You gave us some hard time, didn't you? But I've dealt with lots of people. Some brats cannot overpower me."
After she suddenly disappeared, the tattoo guy had a feeling that she was hiding somewhere close. That's why he pretended to order his boys to spread everywhere and he stayed back.
His thoughts were correct. She was hiding behind the bushes with another girl.
Han Luo's face became rigid. She questioned him, "What do you want from me?"
The tattoo guy tilted his head. "You should know well – curiosity kills the cat."
As he said that, two men came from behind and injected Han Luo and Nana Shimizu. The girls lost their consciousness before they could fight back.
One of them held Nana Shimizu and asked, "What are we going to do with her?"
The tattoo guy said, "She already saw our faces. We have to bring her with us."
Another one asked excitedly, "Who is she? She is so beautiful? Leader, will you give her to us?"
The tattoo guy smirked, "Sure. Call others to come back. This place is quiet. No one will notice us if we put boys' clothes on them and take them with us."
"Yes, leader," they complied.
Han Luo was wearing a top and shorts, so they only put a jacket and trousers on her and hid her head with the hood. Nana Shimizu was wearing a dress. That's why they put on a jumper on her and hid her head as well.
Afterward, they made them look like they were drunk and half carried them to their car. They put the girls in the trunk and drove off.

The next time Han Luo woke up, her body was aching all her. She sensed no sound, so movement, she smelled nothing.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in a big warehouse, along with Nana Shimizu who was five meters away from her.
These two girls were alone in the big, abandoned warehouse.
The sun had yet to set. The sunlight was coming through the broken windows from up there. So Han Luo could vividly see the warehouse.
Nana Shimizu was still unconscious. Her mouth was covered with scotch tape.
Han Luo attempted to move but she couldn't. She realized that just like Nana Shimizu, her mouth, hands, and legs were all tied.
She was scared. It was the first time she was kidnapped and she was frightened that her body was shaking.
She took some deep breaths and eased her racing heart.
She thought, 'I can't stay here like that. Because of me, Nana is in danger. I have to do something.'
She rolled her body and got close to Nana Shimizu. Without a sound, she kicked Nana Shimizu's motionless body.
When she didn't wake up, Han Luo kicked her harder.
Nana Shimizu felt pain and furrowed her eyebrows. Slowly, she opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the tied Han Luo and her eyes widened in shock.
Han Luo struggled and finally sat up. Little by little she moved closer to Nana Shimizu with her back facing her because her hands were tied behind her back.
Afterward, she under her fingers with great difficulty and took off Nana Shimizu's scotch tape from her mouth.
Nana Shimizu flinched.
Han Luo threw it away and lied down facing her.
With her signal, Nana Shimizu used her teeth to take off the scotch tape from her mouth.
Only then Nana Shimizu asked in a quivering voice, "Luo, what is going on?"
Han Luo looked apologetic. She quietly said, "If you didn't try to save me back then, you wouldn't be in this situation right now. I'm so sorry. Because of me-"
Nana Shimizu closed her eyes and shook her head. She was a pampered princess. She never faced a situation like that. Because of that she couldn't calm down. Her whole body was shaking in fear.
"Say no more," she whispered. She was afraid of speaking louder. "What are we going to do now? I don't have the purse with me or daddy could track my location through my mobile."
Han Luo told her, "Show me your back."
Nana Shimizu looked puzzled. She questioned her, "What?"
Han Luo explained, "I want to see how your hands are tied. Then, I can easily loosen it. We have to get out of here as soon as possible."
"O-oh… okay…" Nana Shimizu turned around.
Han Luo observed the rope carefully. "It doesn't look that tight. It should be an easy job."
She turned her back and her fingers caught Nana Shimizu's rope and tried to loosen it.
However, she wasn't an expert and she never did this before. The 'easy job' didn't seem easy after ten minutes.
Han Luo was sweating while she trying to untie the rope. She couldn't help commenting, "This is harder than I thought."
"Hurry up, before they come!" Nana Shimizu hissed in pain.
Han Luo apologized, "Sorry, I'm trying my best. Endure a little longer."
Finally, struggling for thirteen minutes, she unfastened it.
"Huh!" at last, Han Luo breathed out.
Nana Shimizu shook her hands and touched her wrists. Her pale skin was covered with red marks.
"Hurry up and untie me," Han Luo requested.
"Oh yes," Nana Shimizu unknotted her and with their free hands, they could easily free their legs too.
They stood up and looked around.
Nana Shimizu asked her helplessly, "What should we do now?"
"I was thinking the same thing," Han Luo replied.
