Christine's Carriage got stuck during the journey home. By this time the sky was dark and Christine grew more anxious. Her couchman opted for a shortcut saying that it would be faster so she agreed.
Christine looks out the window and saw she was in an unfamiliar place with trees all around with no people around. She lies back on her seat and protectively wraps her arms around Gustave. We will be home soon, Christine keeps thinking.
All of a sudden the coach was stopped. Christine grew worried. She calls out to her coachman.
"Peter is everything alright?". But Peter did not reply.
Swoosh! The coach was forcefully opened.
Christine scream seeing the gun. Instinctively she put her body in front of Gustave to protect him.
"Gimmie your money now!". The robber commanded.
Tears start pouring out of Christine's eyes. "Ok, ok just please don't hurt my son".
The robber smiles and looks at Christine more clearly. His eyes roam all over her body, mentally undressing her.
Christine seeing this made her more afraid. She shrieks when the robber was about to grab her but he was roughly shoved aside. She saw the Peter trying to fight the robber off. Peter looks back to Christine.
"Madam Run!".
Christine quickly gets out of the coach with her son and runs fast. Gustave was crying very loudly by now but all Christine could think was to get away.
Bang!
Christine's eyes grew wide and she looks back. "Oh no Peter" she sobbed.
But when she heard the robber's angry voice Christine shrieks and starts running even faster.
"I goin to get you and your son! You have na place to hide". The robber shouted.

As Lonette was walking she heard a loud bang! That sounded like a gunshot. She looks around to see any danger. Her hand touches the gun in her pants. She was weary but kept walking very carefully.
She kept passing trees without any signs of danger but stop by a rustle.
A woman comes out through the bushes. She looks very scared. At first she just stared at Lonette, not knowing what to do. The lady was clutching something. Lonette was surprised to found out it was a baby.
"Excuse me Miss, are you ok". Lonette calls out to the woman.
The lady kept quiet and Lonette tries to come closer. The lady looks at her afraid and steps back. Lonette did not try to get any closer to her.
