24 Against the wall (2/2)

Rosa began reassuring Laila as the doctor carefully approached her with a syringe.

But Laila had realised that she could trust only one person—herself.

Whoever stood in her way was against her.

No one in this mendacious and sick world was there for her.

They would let them die in this wretched jail.

”You are alone and know how to handle things.”

She escapes the syringe from the fearful doctor and rams it into his neck.

He rolled his eyes in a funny expression and dropped to the ground like a felled tree.

Rosa reached for her arm.

Laila rammed her elbow into her stomach and pushed Rosa aside.

She rushed to the door.

Brutus stood smiling in his uniform, filling the door frame.

He raised the stun gun, Laila blackened.
