Once the plan was set you got dressed and put on a short white skirt with an oversized blue hoddie styling your hair in a messy bun topping it off with pastel yellow socks and white sneakers.

You take a deep breath, trying to calm your nerves. You look around your house, mentally preparing yourself for what's to come. With a final glance out the window, you silently hope Goo will be able to keep his promise of keeping an eye on you.

You straighten your hoodie and head out, walking down the street towards the park where you know the Workers will find you. Your heart races, but you remind yourself that this is the best way to uncover their plans.

You glance over your shoulder and see a black car slowly trailing behind you. Your pulse quickens, but you keep walking, trying to appear nonchalant. As you reach the park, the car pulls over, and two men step out, heading in your direction.

Predictable.

You take a deep breath, trying to steady your nerves, and continue walking. The men quickly catch up to you, and one of them grabs your arm.

"Come with us," he says gruffly.

You look at him with feigned surprise and say, "What's going on? Why are you doing this?"

He doesn't respond, just tightens his grip on your arm and leads you toward the car.

The man behind the wheel steps out, opening the back door of the car for you. "Get in," he orders, his voice stern.

This is part of the plan. With a deep breath, you comply, sliding into the back seat.

You try to steady your nerves as the car starts moving. The man driving remains silent, and you glance around, trying to gauge your surroundings. The plan is in motion, and now you need to stay alert and be ready for anything.

Daniel's eyes widen in shock as he watches the car drive away with you inside. He quickly pulls out his phone and dials a number, frantically trying to get help. His mind races with thoughts of what might happen to you and how he can possibly help.

The car pulls up to a secluded warehouse on the outskirts of the city. The man gets out, opening the door for you and motioning for you to follow. You step out, glancing around warily, your heart pounding as you prepare yourself for whatever comes next. The man leads you inside, where a group of intimidating figures waits, their eyes fixed on you.

Eugene steps forward, his expression unreadable. "We meet again," he says, his voice calm but laced with curiosity. Samuel stands behind him, arms crossed, his gaze intense.

"Why did you bring me here?" you ask, trying to keep your voice steady.

Eugene smiles slightly. "Just wanted to see if my theory was correct. And maybe a bit of cooperation."

You narrow your eyes, trying to gauge their intentions. "And why should I trust you?" you ask, crossing your arms defensively.

Eugene chuckles softly. "Trust is a strong word. Let's just say it's in your best interest to cooperate. We know more than you think."

Samuel steps closer, his presence imposing. "We won't hurt you," he adds, his voice surprisingly gentle. "We just need to talk."

Reluctantly, you nod. "Fine. But if this is some kind of trap, you'll regret it."
