Cindy frowned, jaw tight with frustration, before she finally muttered, “Forget it, just let her take whatever she wants. Whatever’s useless<b>, </b>she can returnter.”
She swiftly stuffed all the documents into her bag, relocked the vault door exactly as she found it, and stood up to leave.
The nerve–wracking operation was finally over. Stepping out the main gate of the vi, Cindy wiped the cold sweat from her neck and, while walking, pulled out her phone to call Dawn, arranging to meet the next day.
She checked into a random hotel for the night and showed up to the meeting on time.
Dawn was in full disguise, arge pair of ck sunsses perched on her nose.
“Who’s the one acting shady here, you or me?” Cindy slumped listlessly over the table, a coffee cup resting near her hand. She gave Dawn a once–over and added, “Though, I’ll admit, you look slightly more tolerable than you did three years ago. So, I’ll allow the getup.”
Dawn arched a brow. “Where’s the stuff?”
“Wow, impatience much?”
Cindy propped herself up on her elbows, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. “You have to tell me first, what exactly are you looking for?”
This woman had only asked for the contents of the safe, not specifying what the item was.
What if it waspany intel? Cindy would be finished.
Dawn smiled faintly, as if she’d already anticipated the question.
“With who I am now, do you really think I’d risk stealing from the Swansons?”
“Hard to say. You business types would sell your souls for a dor. Who knows what you’d do if the money was good enough?”
Dawn fell silent.
<i>Fair point</i>.
Dawn sighed. “Alright then, if that’s how it is, I’m leaving.”

Cindy didn’t believe she’d actually leave–until she watched Dawn walk straight out of the café without a single nce back.
Finally, Cindy’sposure broke. Grabbing her backpack, she hurried out after her.
“Honestly, what’s with you? Have a little patience” Cindy snapped, her voiceced with irritation.
She had barely gotten the words out when two men suddenly appeared from the side alley. Before she could react, rough hands yanked both women into a waiting van.
Dawn caught a glimpse of Cindy’s terrified face before everything went ck.
When she came to, she found herself on the rooftop of a high–rise building.
Cindy was tied hand and foot beside her, head drooping forward under a tangle of messy hair. Still unconscious.
Dawn steadied her breathing and shuffled closer nudging Cindy with her foot.
“Cindy… wake up!”
“Cindy!”
“Mmh… ”
A soft groan, then movement. Cindy’sshes fluttered<i>, </i>and when she finally registered where they were, she began thrashing against the ropes. “Who … who did this? Are they insane?!”
The ropes were tight, and the more she struggled, the more the chafed skin burned with a searing pain.
“Dawn, who the hell did you piss off?” she hissed.
“Whoever it is, I swear to God, when I find out, I’ll skin them alive!”
Sitting face–to–face with her, Dawn was backlit, her expressionrgely hidden in shadow. Only her hair, dancing in the wind, was clearly visible. Her voice was low and steady. “Let’s just focus on finding a way out of here first … ”
Before she could finish, footsteps echoed from the stairwell door.
The first thing they saw was a pair of long legs.
Then a tall figure stepped into the light–easily six–foot–three, dressed head to toe in ck tactical gear. A cap and mask hid his face, his presence sharp and predatory.

Cindy and Dawn stared as he closed in, realization dawning toote.
“Who are you?‘

Cindy demanded, a mix of anger and fear in her voice. She tried to sound braver than she felt, puffing herself up. “You’d better let us go right now, or my father will make you pay!”
The man stopped directly in front of her.
His eyes locked on hers, cold and cutting like a hawk’s. Then, unexpectedly, he chuckled.
He reached out and gripped her chin firmly.
“And how exactly will your father make me pay? Hmm?”
Cindy’s pulse thundered. Fear was undeniably ceiling in her gut.
But the situation demanded action, and her innate pride wouldn’t let her back down. With a defiant look, she spat forcefully in his direction.
He flinched instinctively, releasing her. “Don’t you dare touch me with your filthy hands!” she said coldly.

Silence fell–heavy, electric.
Several seconds passed. Then, the man slowly turned his head back towards her.
The look in his eyes was terrifying, like a predator seconds away from tearing its prey apart.
He stalked forward, caught her by the arm, and hauled her upright. “Filthy hands, huh? Let’s see just what these filthy hands can do.”
“You bastard… Let me go! Let go!”
He ignored her thrashing as his hands slid down her sides–Cindy froze, trembling, too terrified to scream.
From across the rooftop, Dawn, who had been watching the scene unfold as if in a daze, finally snapped back to reality. “Cindy!”
The man paused. Then continued.
A secondter, he pulled something from Cindy’s jeans pocket. Her phone.
Cindy blinked, startled–she hadn’t expected that. The man’s eyes crinkled with faint
