Alert, she tightened her grip on the gun as she faintly heard a woman’s cries echoing ahead.

Faint cries of a woman reached her ears as she ventured forward cautiously.

Suddenly, the two waiters ahead came to a halt.

Hannah quickly ducked behind a pillar, eavesdropping on their conversation.

“It seems Lorenzo has sent quite a shipment again.

Didn’t he claim it was difficult to procure?”

“These goods are from elsewhere.

It’s always dicey pulling this off here.

Their voices lowered as they continued to discuss the cargo, and Hannah strained to catch every word.

“The big boss must have caught wind of something.

Madam is treading carefully.

There haven’t been many newcomers this year.

Let’s stop wasting time.

Move! Further in!”

Hannah followed them deeper into the second-floor basement, catching sight of the “goods” they spoke of.

Iron cages lined the dark corridor, containing women with bound hands and blindfolds.

Many were weeping silently; their sobs muted by fear.

As she trailed them, the stench of blood grew stronger, causing Hannah to slow her pace.

She heard the sickening sound of a whip cracking, instinct urging her to pause.

Concealed behind a pillar, she listened intently.

The whipping ceased as the two waiters entered another room, their voices resuming.
