Chapter 390: You Guys Are Next (1/2)

Dusk.

Amanda and Michael were out for a jog along a mountain trail just outside the city.

Both of them wanted to do it at Central Park, but the place was too crowded. So the two of them opted for the second option, which was a mountain just outside the city that campers frequent to.

Mostly city dwellers that want to experience life living with nature.

”It's been a while since both of us went out for a jog together” said Amanda in between breaths as the two of them jog through a beaten path on the mountain.

And along the way, they met a few fellow joggers, and what confused the two of them is that all of them are wearing uncomfortable looks on their faces while discussing something between themselves in hushed tones.

Michael and Amanda looked at each other in confusion as the latter said, ”What do you think happened? Their faces looked like they saw something that they shouldn't suppose to see”

Michael just shrugged his shoulders saying, ”We'll know when we get there”

So the two of them slowly decreased their speed until they were just walking, and as they continued on the road, Amanda finally couldn't stop her growing curiosity just like the rest of the few people who were also running behind them earlier, and so she decided that she would ask the next person or people that would appear from the opposite direction to ask what was going on ahead.

So when they saw a group of three young girls walking hurriedly like they wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, Amanda quickly came over and blocked their path saying, ”Wait up!”

Her sudden appearance made the young trio jump in fright, and the tallest girl among them hastily said, ”W-what do you want? Who are you?”

Amanda just smiled and said, ”It's fine, I just wanted to ask what's going on ahead as all of the people we saw that came from your direction looked like they had just seen some ghost or something. Is there something going on over there?”

The three young ladies looked at each other before the shortest of them stepped forward and were about to answer after a little hesitation.

Wan! Wan! Wan!

But the girl didn't get to answer when the sound of puppies crying in the distance and laughter of men reached their ears, and when the three girls heard that, they closed their eyes before hastily running away.

While on the other hand, Michael frowned as his face quickly darkened like the soot on the bottom of a pot.

Swoosh!

When Michael suddenly dashed forward, leaving her behind, Amanda couldn't help but call out to him hurriedly in anger, ”Michael! Wait, goddammit!”

With no choice to even consider, Amanda hurriedly followed after him. While those people who were a distance behind them just looked at each other, before they also decided to go over and take a look as they were also driven by their curiosity, while some just wanted to see the drama that's bound to unfold when they saw how aggressive Michael looked earlier.

”Let's go, I'd like to see these audacious bastards who are harming those little animals” in an aggrieved tone, said a muscular fit young man, around mid to late twenties, but just as the man was about to step forward and follow the rest of the people, a hand quickly grabbed his arm and held him back.

”No way, we're not going! Those people are probably a group of cruel and crazy gangsters, they're one of the people who had the audacity to do such a cruel thing! Didn't you see how many people we met on the way? But not one of them probably dared to stop them just by looking at their faces earlier!” The person who stopped him from going was his companion, a young lady around the man's age, probably his girlfriend.

When the people who haven't gotten that far away heard her, all of them couldn't help but stop in their tracks as they suddenly contemplated their decision to go as they know how much trouble they would receive if they happen to get entangled with a group of gang members, and they know how troublesome it is!

It's like a hellish experience!

But her concern fell into deaf ears as the young man turned to her and said, ”Then just stay here with the rest, and don't worry, I won't do anything reckless. I just want to see what's going ahead of us, yeah?”
