A loud crash rang out as Charlotte swung the heavy glass ashtray, striking the man squarely on the head. He staggered back, clutching the wound, cursing through gritted teeth. “You crazy bitch! You dare hit me?!”

She didn’t even glance at her phone, which had tumbled to the carpet in

the chaos.

Racing down the corridor, she could hear the thunder of footsteps behind her–her pursuers weren’t giving up, and she knew she couldn’t let them catch her. She forced herself onward, never daring to slow.
