She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

255 A pious, clinging goodbye

Two men barged in, and are now scavenging the dusty room. Each with a baseball bat in their hands. No guns. That's good news.

Looks like they don't have a lot of people. That's why it took a while for them to sweep to this room. But still, they are all men with weapons, while Scar and Sebastian have nothing to put up a proper defense. It's only a matter of time before they corner them in this tiny closet, and if that happens, then they would really be a lamb to the slaughter.

"What do we do now?!" Scar hisses. Her whisper is so low that it barely reaches Sebastian, yet she feels like her voice is loud like thunder, "Do we make a run for it?"

"Not safe," Sebastian mumbles back, keeping an eye outside through the gap between the crooked doors, "Neither of them is from the car behind you. Meaning they have at least five people, three are waiting out there." Scar grips her dress to calm herself, but that doesn't stop her tremble.

Sebastian reaches over slowly, grabbing her fear-frozen hand, letting the warmth of his palm calm her. Scar nearly gasps at that touch. It helps to have someone with her in this desperate situation, but only so little. She has been so naive.

With borrowed power from a man she doesn't know, she thought she had won the battle before even started. How could she not expect that the Fullers would fight back?

She cornered them, and now they tore through the line of law.
