Ruby had arrived on the porch of her house. In her left hand, the keys jingled as she slots the key into the door. She twisted it as Ruby pushed the door forward and immediately, closed the door behind her and locked it shut. She looked around before turning her full body. The coast is clear. Ruby let go of the doorknob and checked the watch that wrapped on her left hand.

"5:30..." Ruby murmured. She sighed, her eyes closed. Ruby could not wait that long. She looked back at the memories that belonged to 'Hoodie'. Hoodie's voice and another man's voice: Masky. "Tonight... You are to kidnap Ruby Easterwood. Be prepared. We do not know what she is capable of." Masky's voice echoed in her head. "He didn't say what time exactly. That could be late in the night. Shit." 


"Does your mother know?"

"No, she doesn't. This happened right before I visited you. She won't come back until 9. But I fear they'll come before that, I hope not."

"Why don't you call the police?"

"I can't. What am I gonna say? That I think I am about to get kidnap? You think they'll believe me?"

"It is worth a try."

*Sighs* "Liu. I'm scared."

...

"Me too."


Ruby took out her phone, dialled 911, and placed it on her ear, waiting for someone to pick up. A second later, the line broke and Ruby got her ready.

"911, what is your emergency?" A woman from the other side spoke.

"Hello, I think I am going to get kidnapped." Ruby blunted said.

"Ma'am, I need to know if you are serious about this. We do not want any-"

Ruby could not take it anymore. "This is not a prank! I am dead serious. I am scared that at any time they'll come. I am scared out of my head that they will just..." At this point, she was frustrated and almost on the verge of crying.

"Ma'am, calm down. I apologize. I will send an officer to your location. What is your address?"

Ruby could not help but feel safer. A police officer will definitely make her feel better about the situation. Ruby gave the address to her and said to the woman on the other side, "Thank you, ma'am."

Ruby had already taken a shower and changed out of her clothes into more comfortable clothes: A blue tank top that matched with grey jogging pants. She had closed all her curtains, Ruby feared of seeing one of... them. Ruby made sure that all doors that lead outside the house were all locked. Same for all accessible windows. Ruby sat on the last steps that lead up to the upstairs. Ruby felt as if she should not do anything whilst waiting for the cops. Plus, all her projects for this upcoming assessments had been done. She had done everything else.


"Before I decided to visit you, I had bumped into someone by accident. But as we both bumped into each other, I... saw something. Not only something but a lot of things. In my mind, it is like seeing someone's memories. And I think it was. I turned around and I saw a yellow hoodie man, he continued walking and I wanted to say something to him but I was interrupted by Erisa."
