“​Ahhh​!​!​!​ ​Don​'​t​ ​come​ ​in,​ ​I​ ​don​'​t​ ​know​ ​anything.​”​ ​A​ ​terrified​ ​scream​ ​from​ ​a​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​echoed​ ​thru​ ​the​ ​woods​ ​in​ ​a​ ​small​ ​town. 

"​Stop​ ​right​ ​now,​ ​or​ ​I​'​ll​ ​shoot​ ​you​ ​too.​" 

The​ ​voices​ ​of​ ​a​ ​young​ ​man​ ​and​ ​woman​ ​shouted​ ​as​ ​they​ ​ran​ ​into​ ​the​ ​conservation​ ​forest.​ ​"​Jenira,​"​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​young​ ​woman​ ​who​ ​had​ ​just​ ​graduated​ ​from​ ​university,​ ​was​ ​running​ ​away​ ​from​ ​a​ ​man​ ​with​ ​her​ ​graceful​ ​figure.​ ​But​ ​then​ ​her​ ​unfortunate​ ​foot​ ​tripped,​ ​causing​ ​her​ ​beloved​ ​large​ ​camera​ ​to​ ​fly​ ​forward​ ​and​ ​out​ ​of​ ​her​ ​grasp.​ ​The​ ​muscular​ ​figure​ ​crashed​ ​down​ ​on​ ​her​ ​defenseless​ ​body​ ​as​ ​she​ ​lay​ ​face​ ​down. 

"​Ugh...​ ​let​ ​me​ ​go,​ ​you​ ​murderers​!​" 

"​If​ ​you​ ​don​'​t​ ​know​ ​anything,​ ​don​'​t​ ​talk​ ​too​ ​much.​ ​Just​ ​stay​ ​still.​" 

Her​ ​hands​ ​were​ ​tied​ ​behind​ ​her​ ​back​ ​while​ ​he​ ​used​ ​one​ ​knee​ ​to​ ​pin​ ​her​ ​body​ ​down.​ ​He​ ​grabbed​ ​the​ ​camera​ ​and​ ​managed​ ​to​ ​snatch​ ​it​ ​away,​ ​but​ ​he​ ​still​ ​couldn​'​t​ ​decide​ ​what​ ​to​ ​do​ ​with​ ​the​ ​woman​ ​in​ ​front​ ​of​ ​him,​ ​who​ ​had​ ​witnessed​ ​the​ ​terrifying​ ​event. 

"​Hello​ ​Ben,​ ​I​ ​got​ ​her.​ ​I​ ​got​ ​the​ ​camera​ ​too.​" 

"​Hah,​ ​hah,​ ​okay,​ ​can​ ​you​ ​help​ ​me​ ​take​ ​it​ ​far​ ​away​ ​first?​ ​And​ ​take​ ​that​ ​camera​ ​to​ ​deal​ ​with​ ​it​ ​too.​" 

Where​ ​are​ ​you​ ​taking​ ​me​ ​and​ ​how?​ ​What​ ​evil​ ​are​ ​you​ ​planning​ ​to​ ​do​ ​now?​ ​Isn​'​t​ ​this​ ​enough​ ​trouble​ ​already? 

"​Okay,​ ​just​ ​do​ ​as​ ​I​ ​say.​ ​You​'​re​ ​driving​ ​my​ ​car,​ ​right?​"​ ​There​'​s​ ​a​ ​key​ ​to​ ​the​ ​cabin​ ​in​ ​the​ ​car.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​use​ ​my​ ​car​ ​and​ ​cabin​ ​right​ ​away. 

The​ ​young​ ​man​ ​hung​ ​up​ ​the​ ​phone​ ​with​ ​a​ ​weary​ ​sigh.​ ​While​ ​his​ ​friend​ ​was​ ​causing​ ​trouble​ ​due​ ​to​ ​his​ ​insatiable​ ​lust,​ ​he​ ​still​ ​had​ ​to​ ​clean​ ​up​ ​everything.​ ​His​ ​sharp​ ​eyes​ ​looked​ ​down​ ​at​ ​the​ ​slender​ ​body​ ​beneath​ ​him,​ ​which​ ​was​ ​wriggling​ ​and​ ​struggling​ ​desperately​ ​to​ ​escape​ ​his​ ​captivity. 

Enough​!​!​!​ ​"​Stop​ ​struggling,​ ​my​ ​dear.​" 

"​Sob,​ ​I​ ​really​ ​don​'​t​ ​know​ ​anything.​ ​I​ ​didn​'​t​ ​see​ ​anything,​ ​I​ ​swear.​" 

"​See?​ ​Whether​ ​you​ ​like​ ​it​ ​or​ ​not,​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​come​ ​with​ ​me​ ​first.​ ​I​ ​promise​ ​I​ ​definitely​ ​won​'​t​ ​kill​ ​you.​" 

Janira​ ​finally​ ​gave​ ​up​ ​and​ ​kept​ ​quiet​ ​when​ ​she​ ​couldn​'​t​ ​match​ ​the​ ​strength​ ​of​ ​this​ ​man.​ ​He​ ​threw​ ​her​ ​into​ ​the​ ​car​ ​without​ ​untying​ ​her​ ​and​ ​drove​ ​her​ ​far​ ​away​ ​to​ ​a​ ​dense​ ​forest.​ ​There​ ​was​ ​a​ ​small,​ ​beautifully​ ​built​ ​wooden​ ​house​ ​there.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​the​ ​property​ ​of​ ​his​ ​wealthy​ ​friend​ ​Ben,​ ​who​ ​was​ ​currently​ ​causing​ ​trouble​ ​with​ ​a​ ​woman. 

"​You​ ​think​ ​you​ ​can​ ​just​ ​lock​ ​me​ ​up​ ​like​ ​this​ ​and​ ​I​'​ll​ ​escape,​ ​you​ ​murderers?​!​" 

"​Murderer​ ​this,​ ​murderer​ ​that.​ ​Tell​ ​me,​ ​did​ ​you​ ​really​ ​see​ ​Ben​ ​shoot​ ​his​ ​wife?​" 

Janira​ ​pressed​ ​her​ ​lips​ ​tightly​ ​together​ ​and​ ​couldn​'​t​ ​answer​ ​that​ ​question​ ​at​ ​all.​ ​She​ ​turned​ ​away​ ​unhappily.​ ​Of​ ​course,​ ​she​ ​hadn​'​t​ ​witnessed​ ​the​ ​events​ ​that​ ​had​ ​just​ ​unfolded.​ ​While​ ​she​ ​was​ ​enjoying​ ​taking​ ​pictures​ ​of​ ​the​ ​roadside​ ​flowers​ ​in​ ​an​ ​alley​ ​of​ ​a​ ​housing​ ​development,​ ​she​ ​had​ ​aimed​ ​at​ ​the​ ​flowers​ ​planted​ ​along​ ​the​ ​fence​ ​of​ ​a​ ​white​ ​house.​  

But​ ​then​ ​a​ ​gunshot​ ​rang​ ​out,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​people​ ​in​ ​that​ ​house​ ​turned​ ​to​ ​stare​ ​at​ ​her​ ​intently.​ ​After​ ​that,​ ​things​ ​happened​ ​just​ ​as​ ​they​ ​had​ ​a​ ​moment​ ​ago.​ ​A​ ​man​ ​from​ ​that​ ​house​ ​chased​ ​her​ ​relentlessly,​ ​and​ ​she​ ​was​ ​cornered​ ​when​ ​she​ ​ran​ ​into​ ​the​ ​nearby​ ​forest. 

...It​'​s​ ​really​ ​unavoidable​ ​bad​ ​luck​ ​for​ ​you...
