Sounds of foot tapping echoed. Darkness completely surrounded her vision as she stomped faster through the tunnel. Breezing snowy air gave her lungs a hard chance of breathing. A pair of heavyweight boots that now stepped against the road along with huge paper bag in her arm slower her pace. She didn't even dare looking back and kept walking. The only light accompanied her now was her cellphone screen that alerting the extremely low amount of energy source it had. Her lips silently cursed the fact that she still quite far away from the destination. The girl only prayed that she could melt in the dark so the mysterious figure that been walking behind her would just go away and leave her peacefully. But she knew it won't happen as she still carried the now almost dying phone with her.

The thing is, she didn't even know who that is.

Negative thoughts surrounding her. The person could be anyone. Her mind only gave pictures of villainies. The person could be a robber, a murderer, or a rapist. Thinking of those made her already unsteady breathing became more rapid. The biggest fear came when her device was totally out of its battery, leaving the girl alone in darkness. She gasped out loud when suddenly an arm wrapped on her neck.

"Gotcha"

Xxx

"…her fault?"

"…be anyone, but why her?"

A view of a semi dark place slowly formed in Nezumi's vision as she regained her sense. She hardly defined the place where she had fallen asleep for hours. Something invisible seemed holding her eyes shut as she felt heaviness of fluttering her eyes open. The next seconds she realized she was laying in a cold concrete floor, her hands bound with a scarf. She glanced at her bag that only meters away from her also chained legs. She almost gasped in shock when she realized a clump of fabric plugged her mouth. It was so huge filling her mouth that she couldn't easily spit it out. Her ears caught some undefined sentences being spoken or to be exact, whispered. Being a "mouse" and already jumped in some spying missions made Nezumi's sharp hearing ability being awoken. Enduring the pain in the back of her head, she shifted slowly and concentrated to every sound in her surroundings.

"What? I can't! It's just…wait." The voice suddenly stopped as if it realized the presence of Nezumi's sudden movements. Nezumi instantly stiffen and closed her eyes, not wanting the owner of the voice came closer.

"I'll call you later"

Unhealthy silence filled the air. Nezumi kept sharpening her ear to every little sound of the unknown person made. One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Something was wrong here. Having such high intelligent quotient forced her to roughly calculate the person's position that had the result zero percent of presence. She was sure she heard footsteps being closer to her and now it just gone like no one was there before. Nezumi even held her breath, afraid the sound of her respiration would ruin her intention.

More seconds passed.

Shit, she cursed in her head. That person probably flashed away elsewhere to continue his or her talking on the phone. The concept of walking away without her noticing had made Nezumi slightly admired the kidnapper's technique as well. The plug in her mouth started making her jaw muscles numb as she kept thinking of any safest and quickest escape methods she could possibly handle at this time. Convincing herself, she slowly opened her eyes. Only to find the smirking face of the kidnapper right inches away from hers,

"Slept well?"
