065 Common Enemy

Scarlett’s POV

The man stands up with a hand supporting his heavy body on the table, then starts stretching his limbs in a string of painfully slow moves, ignoring me and Ava in total. His hair is messy, and his smelly clothes loosely hang from his beer belly. Then he opens a bottle of water, rinses before he swallows the water in his mouth, and splashes water on his face and head until the bottle is empty. He grabs what looks like a dirty shirt and wipes his head.

He doesn’t look like a thug. Thug has better bodies…and probably healthier lifestyles,

too.

But that doesn’t mean he is not a predator. He abducted two girls – I’ll take Ava’s words on this for the sake of argument – tied them to chairs in a dark room of what looks like an abandoned building, and it seems that his intention behind his slow movements is intimidation. Like the play before a cat kills a mouse it caught.

Then all of a sudden, he pulls a string hanging in the room and lights penetrate my eyes, leaving a sour sting. From Ava’s hisses, I assume it took her off guard, too.

A common enemy of me and Ava? That would be the most unlikely thing to exist if you asked me yesterday. But I’m leaning toward believing her now. She lured me here; yes. But she might also be a victim, too.
