Benny cautiously checked if the coast was clear before running out onto the street.
Out of nowhere, a huge truck sped in his direction.
His pupils shrank as he quickly threw himself onto the opposite Lane.
The truck sped past him, leaving dust in its wake.
Benny was trying to catch his breath when the truck turned around and started heading in his direction again.

“For fuck’s sake!” Benny began to run away from the truck.
He realized that it was impossible to outrun a truck, so he decided to take cover in the alleyways.
He ran into the nearest alleyway as quick as he could. He could hear the truck pull over behind him.
He could hear the footsteps of one of the men who had come down from the truck.
“Come out, Benny Clifford! You can’t hide here forever.” The man’s voice was cold and filled with warning.
“Matthew sent me. You should come out if you want to live.”
The man was getting closer by the minute.
Benny held his breath and prepared himself for a fight.
Just when it was as if there was no hope, someone suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him into a nearby building. He was pulled into one of the elevators.

Once they were safe behind the elevator doors, Benny was finally able to see the person’s face. His eyes widened in slight shock.
It was Flossie. He had only met her once before. He quickly hid his surprise before she looked at him.
He gave her a cold look.
“Why’d you save me? You barely even know me.”
Flossie tried to steady her uneven breathing. She looked up at him with a small smile.
“Me? I didn’t save you. You’re just overthinking.
Besides, this is where I live. There’s nothing wrong with inviting a friend up for a cup of coffee? Is there?”
Benny didn’t know what to say in response. He stood in place, not moving a single muscle.
Flossie’s smile only grew wider as the elevator dinged signifying they had reached her floor. The doors opened slowly.
Flossie got out first. She turned back to look at Benny, who made no attempt to get out. The doors began to close, and she placed her hand in between to stop it.
