Stranger in my heart (Completed)

Running into them

Kate is sleeping right now. Even in her sleep, she seems restless.

Nina couldn't sleep. She wants to contact Gerard but there's no line phone here. She couldn't find Kate's phone either.

The news have reported sudden death recently. People are dying from common cold.

It's Alex's virus.

The bombing must have spread the virus all over London.

One last look to Kate.

This problem is too big for them. They are only ordinary students. Not CIA agents. They must contact the government. Seeking help.

This cottage is far from any human settlement. Without the Google map in her phone, Nina might get lost in the woods.

"Oh, what should I do? Can't stay here forever..."

Nina is walking in a small circle in the room.

She sighs.

A bit hungry. Can't make a decision in empty stomach. She goes to find something to eat in the kitchen.

A car is passing in front of the cottage. She could hear the engine's noise from here.

Nina quickly runs out of the cottage.

"Stop! Please, stop!" yells her.

The car stops abruptly. A man and a woman leave the car.

The man grins wickedly.

He mocks, "What did I tell you? She pops out on her own will."

The woman stares Nina and she looks disgusted.

She mocks, "I'm definitely prettier than her. Gerard must be blind."

Nina frowns.

She asks, "You know Gerard?"

The man smiles widely. He explains, "We are his old friends."

The way he said it sent shiver to her spine. These folks are dangerous ones. Not your friendly neighbors types.

Nina turns around and runs back to the cottage.

She tries to lock the door behind her. The man kicks the door and ruins the hinges. The woman points a gun to her head, ending Nina's useless struggles.

"Where's she?" asks her.

Nina is silent.

The woman hits her head with the hilt of her gun. The man grabs the gun from her hand.

"Ruining a pretty face is a sin, Chrissy."

"You men are blind. I'm prettier than her, Hanks!"

"Jealousy made you looked ugly little duckling, Chrissy."

She shoves him from her.

"Ouch! Sorry, Chrissy. Still think you're prettier than her."

Nina stares her. Chrissy was the one from Gerard's past. He mumbled her name in his sleep once.

Her head hurts a lot. She rubs the big bump made by her.

Chrissy stares her with murderous gaze. Like a predator to her prey.

Hanks touches Nina's chin.

He asks, "Where is Kate?"

"She isn't here. You got the wrong house."

"Really?"

Hanks stares to Chrissy and she nods.

"Wait! Where are you going? This isn't your house! Stop!" protests Nina.
