The girl nodded, her expression determined. I see you want to go back to help that person. I respect your bravery. He saved us, and hes a good person. But I dont have your courage. Ill drive forward to find help instead.
Alright. Be careful on your way and stay vigilant, okay? Nicole cautioned her.
The girl nodded. I understand. You be careful too. Thank you. If it werent for you, we wouldnt know what would have become of us
These abducted girls all came from deprived backgrounds and were inexperienced. They rarely had interactions with urban dwellers. They had been misled by villagers who had promised them jobs, only to end up confined.
They suffered harsh treatment. If they resisted, they faced beatings, and some bore untreated, festering wounds on their legs. They had hoped for a brighter future, but reality proved to be far harsher.
Thankfully, they were still within the confines of Ambrosia. Had they been taken to a foreign land, they could only dread what might have befallen them.

Theres no need to thank me. Just get going! Nicole urged before she sprinted toward the black SUV alone.
Despite her injuries, which pained her with each step, she was determined to outrun death itself. Any hesitation might lead to the black SUV tumbling off the cliff.
Upon reaching the black SUV, Nicole saw it was filled with thick smoke. Luckily, the window had already been shattered by someone in the van, which likely saved those inside from suffocation.
Inside the black SUV, there was no sign of life or sound. A man lay motionless in the drivers seat, his face turned away, apparently unconscious from the smoke inhalation.
Nicole cautiously opened the car door, aware that even a minor shift could send the vehicle over the edge and possibly drag her along with it. Thus, she was putting her life at risk.
However, she believed she couldnt stand back without attempting to help, especially after the driver had risked his own life several times to save everyone in the truck. Regardless of the outcome, she was determined not to abandon the driver, as she represented the other abducted girls in the truck.
Nicole gently eased the door open, taking care to keep her movements minimal.
When the door was open, the man inside did not react. He was covered in blood, making his features hard to distinguish.
Nicoles hand reached for the mans seatbelt buckle first. His body was securely fastened by the seatbelt.
Fortunately, there hadnt been a collision, so the airbag hadnt deployed, which ironically had spared his

life. Otherwise, it would have been far more challenging to get him out, and not even divine intervention could have helped, as moving him would have been impossible.
Nicole extended her body, careful to avoid any contact with the car as much as she could, and pressed the buckle. Even a slight movement could send the car over the edge.
She raised her foot, and just as she was about to reach the buckle, the man in the car stirred. A faint cough from the man shook the car.
Nicole froze and urgently said, Hold on. Dont cough, and dont move. Stay just like this, and Ill get you out.
It was hard to tell whether the man had heard Nicole, but he stayed still.
Nicole took a deep breath and tried once more. This time, she aimed to unfasten it in one quick movement. She pushed off with her foot and with a click, the buckle opened.
She quickly caught one end of the seatbelt to minimize movement and prevent the car from rocking.
As she carefully retracted the seatbelt, she noticed the mans fingers twitching slightly, indicating he might be regaining consciousness. She murmured, Dont be scared. Im here to save you. I will definitely get you out. Thank you for saving us all.
The mans eyelashes flickered, as if he sensed her presence, but he was unable to speak. His throat was clogged with smoke, making speech impossible.
