She was glad Ruth didn't hear anything she had told her mother. "Get some rest, Mum," she said and examined her swollen cheeks. The swell was going down.

What will she tell them? How will she explain what happened at work today? "If only I have listened to Chantel and not gotten involved with Nick, this would not have happened," she thought recalling the incident at the restaurant. The tables were round with white linens covering them. When you sit behind it, your legs can not fit anywhere except under the table, unless you want to sit on the chair with your side facing the table. The woman had intentionally brought her leg out from und

"I have to take you to somewhere safe," he said "Okay," Mrs Brown responded unable to recognize who her saviour is due to the mask he was wearing but the voice was very familiar.

She could not walk anyway and without her wheelchair, how far can she run was the question. She sat on the floor quietly as instructed by the man.
