"Phoebe... don't be scared." Colin whispered to me, intentionally bumping into a mercenary, knocking a local to the ground as we ran.

The head mercenary, fueled by anger, rushed forward, aiming his gun at Colin.

"Don't shoot!" I blurted out in panic, all of us wanting to resist.

Their guns were all pointed at us.

The locals murmured among themselves in a language we couldn't understand, but it was clear they were all too familiar with the sight of armed mercenaries.

Colin, with his hands raised, slowly walked back to us.

We obediently followed them onto the van.

Inside, we huddled in the back seat, crouching and holding our heads.

Colin glanced at me, sneakily pulling out a smartphone he had swiped from the person he had knocked over earlier.

Finn gave Colin a thumbs up.

Robin nodded at Colin too.

This wasn't home; even if Colin called the cops, it wouldn't help... he could only send out our location and wait for the right moment. The lead mercenary took a call, and when the van stopped, he started checking each of us against something on the phone. "This one, this one." He pointed at me and Colin, and then we were yanked out of the van.

Colin passed the phone to Robin.
