The streets of London were quiet as Hazel walked home after finishing her shift at the café where she worked as a waitress. She was a beautiful young woman with ocean-blue eyes, fair skin, and delicate features that made her stand out wherever she went. The cold evening air brushed against her skin as she walked down the sidewalk, lost in her thoughts, when a terrified scream suddenly echoed through the street. Startled, Hazel stopped and looked around before realizing the sound had come from a dark alley nearby.

Fear rooted Hazel to the spot, but when he got closer, survival instincts finally took over and she turned around and ran.However, the man had expected it.

A dangerous smile appeared on his face as he turned toward his right-hand man. “Jack,” he said, his voice calm but commanding, “I want every piece of information about that girl on my desk immediately.” Then he looked toward the street where Hazel had disappeared and murmured, “You made a very big mistake, baby girl.” To Be Continued...
