Chapter 6: Flashback: The Men in Black By: Readreadread Disclaimer: I unfortunately did not make up everything in this story.

Tillie huddled in a dark alley. There were a lot of men wearing black. Why were they chasing her?

Tillie slid farther into the alley. One of the men in black had come closer to her then she was comfortable with. She just knew she couldn't trust these men. They were too scary looking to be trusted.

Finally she heard their footsteps die away. Slowly, slowly, Tillie crept out of her hiding spot. She was careful to take the back way out, in case some of the men were still out there.

As Tillie stepped out of the alley, the sun momentarily blinded her. When she could see again she realized that she had stepped into the area where the men in black had parked their cars.

"Billy!" said one man.

"Bob!" another one cried.

"There she is!" they said in unison.

Tillie ran. She ran back through the alley, out into the street, and back through another alley. She even ran in the front door of a bar, and out the back door. She got some weird looks for that from the people in the bar. It's not everyday a girl runs through the bar with the Child Welfare at her heels.

The black-clad men were catching up. Tillie was getting tired. She ran into another alley. Dead end.

The blacked clothed men surrounded her. Tillie didn't run very often, and she was getting very dizzy.

"Re.remember." Tillie whispered as her body swayed. Then, Tillie slipped into complete and utter darkness.
