It's been half a year since then but luck is just not on May's side. In her twenty-two years of life, she has never been more afraid of any men in suits everywhere and anywhere she went. Her roommates kept telling her she is paranoid but they just don't understand. It is really scary when someone is actively hunting you down, and it didn't seem like the normal kind of mafia either. They felt different, like they were from another world. May couldn't explain this feeling to anyone. It just feels... different. Maybe she is paranoid and hoping something would happen. End of the world or alien invasion. Whatever it is, she couldn't tell if they were smart or dumb for continuing to watch the one location she was last seen at. Technology these days could definitely help locate her, but either way, she didn't want them finding her anyways.

May had not accepted any part time jobs since. She focused solely on her full time job in hopes of staying in one location will minimize her contact with those people. Her job required her to travel to certain sites often but she knew they wouldn't be there. She knows the people and would be fine. Due to her cowardliness, she stays at home everyday, causing mischief for her roommates. She would only go out alone if she's jogging, but if it's shopping, she had to be with her roommates. Her friends called her a stubborn mule but she would only reply that she is lazy and a scaredy cat.

May's roommates decided to take her to an amusement park to cheer her up and get her out of the house. It is a few hours drive away from where they live so she agreed and went. The amusement park is well known for being family friendly and very enjoyable by children and adults. They had many roller coasters and water slides. The food was expensive but that was for anywhere in a park like this. Everything looked nice and fun. May was genuinely happy she came after the sight of the roller coasters and told her roommates that it will be a good day today and nothing will happen here!

Soon as she entered the park and walked out of the entrance area to an open space that split into three ways, she could smell the sweet smell of a carnival - cotton candy in the air along with delicious fried food. Right in the center is the food area, the left side looked like it was more for games while the right seems to be more rides.

She couldn't help but take notice of a group of people in the center of the food area. Four men in black suits in this blazing hot weather are on guard for a group of people in the middle of them chatting away by the food stalls. Some serious, others laughing. She could see a very pretty young woman in the center who looked familiar but couldn't get her thoughts together to where she has seen the lady. Suddenly a little girl shot past the talking adults along with two other kids and May recognized the child immediately. It's the mother and daughter from six months ago!

May turned pale and quickly turned her body around. "Hey, never mind, let's go back home. I don't want to be here after all," she said to her roommates nervously.

"What? Why? We just got here and you were so happy earlier," Rune asked.

Crane added, "May, you look kinda pale. You alright?"

"Remember what happened back in January? You see those people over there? That's them." All three turned to look. "Not all at once! You'll give me away!" she quietly said, panicking.

"This is such a waste of money though." Tess tossed her ticket in the air. "The tickets here aren't cheap and we haven't been here either! They probably won't even recognize you. You had your work uniform on and your hair was up in a bun."

The other girls looked at her and agreed. May glanced back at the group. 'I have my glasses on, my bangs are longer now, my hair is in a ponytail. I should be okay.' She thought to herself. "Fine, we can stay. I hope. Do any of you guys have makeup to change my face a bit?" she asked.
