The moment her body went weightless and plunged downward, Linh was sure she was a goner.
"Crash!"
Her fall was broken by several bodies—she landed right on top of the group of men.
Pure survival instinct kicked in, snapping her back to full alertness.
Ignoring the white-hot pain shooting through her body, she scrambled to her feet before the men could react and tore out of the warehouse like a bat out of hell.
Curses and pounding footsteps echoed behind her as they gave chase.
Linh ran like her life depended on it, lungs burning, the coppery taste of blood filling her mouth.
She couldn't stop. Just as her legs threatened to give out, headlights sliced through the darkness ahead.
Staggering onto the road, her vision went black as she collapsed, consciousness slipping away.
