Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Once she stopped the car, she could make out what was flying at her. These were...no...it could not be. But yes, they were... bullets after bullets.

Fortunately, her car windows were bulletproof. Could a cheap car actually be bulletproof? Sophia could not believe it herself. The bullets could not get through the windows. So yes, her car windows were definitely bulletproof.

Having encountered her first assassination ever, she was out of her wits. Suddenly, her phone started ringing.

Startled, she hastily fished out her phone from her handbag. Colin's name flashed on the screen.

She answered the phone. Her voice was trembling with fear. "Colin..., " she said.

From the other side came a calm voice. "Stay right in your car and lock it. Don't worry and don't get scared. I am on my way, " said Colin.

Wondering how he knew what was happening, Sophia immediately locked the door. "Done... Now?" She looked to the direction from which the bullets were coming. She could only see darkness.

"Protect yourself, Sophia. Call the police. We will be there in about ten minutes." Colin and Grit, who had picked him from the airport, were driving towards Sophia.

"Okay..."

Holding the phone even after it was hung up, Sophia drew deep breaths...in and out...in and out... Feeling slightly better, she dialed 110.

The minute the call was over, she felt something hard bang against her car. Suddenly, a man appeared from nowhere. Terribly frightened, Sophia stared at him, her mouth dry and heart pounding.

As it was typical of a gangster, this man was also covered in black from head to toe. He was holding a machine gun and trying to smash the car window with it.

Sophia cowered in fear. She could vaguely make out the words that the man was roaring. "Come out, right now, " he said gesticulating wildly with the gun in his hands.

What do I do? Oh God! What do I do? Sophia thought covering her head with her hands. Suddenly Colin's words came back to her, "Protect yourself." How could she protect herself?

She checked to ensure that the car was locked properly. It was. She breathed a sigh of relief.
