I came out of my frozen state, and ran in the opposite direction, which happened to be towards a door. I charged outside, the men gaining on me.

"Stop! Get back here you little spy!" The creepy man from the garden yelled.

We jostled our way past holiday shoppers, racing down the sidewalk, which at least gave me the extra time I needed. A few people noticed what was happening and got out of my way. When I got tired, I turned a sharp right to find cover, and realized I was in an alley, which ended in brick wall. The men rounded the corner just as I made the decision to climb it. We stood ten feet away watching each other

"Stop. right. there." The man I didn't recognize demanded.

In a split second, I continued running to the wall, but creepy guy was faster. he grabbed me around my waist and lifted me into the air, screaming and flailing my limbs.

"Put me down!! Somebody help me!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Shut up!" Creepy guy said through gritted teeth, pressing his giant had to my mouth.

"Heeeeeelp meeeeee!" I shouted again, though my cry was muffled by his hand. With a swift movement, he through me down hard, and my head hit the pavement. I saw stars and groaned in pain.

"Next time, do as you're told." he whispered, inches from my ear. Once he got close I kicked him in the groin hard enough for him to fall over. I cleared my head and started to get to my feet. I had forgotten about the other man, so my escape plans were thwarted. He tackled me from the side and I fell on my back, my arms and legs pinned, looking up at him

"Let's talk about this more at the base shall we?

"Knock the bitch out." Creepy guy moaned

I made a wild attempt to free myself, but before I could, a cloth was put over my mouth and nose and I was out in seconds.
