Sold to the Best Bidder

"Lexi, I think some weird guys are chasing us," I tapped my friend's arm slyly. She rolled her eyes in surprise, "Calm down, I told you going this way wasn't a good idea, but now just listen to me and pay attention," I whispered, as we continued walking down the street we had unfortunately decided to take to get back to the university.

By touch I could feel how loud my best friend's breathing had become, as well as my own. We were tied by the arms.

For some reason it had felt right for us to go out alone to a nightclub that had just opened in town, since my boyfriend had gone on a trip and I didn't have to worry about him, however, at that moment, I was questioning if I did wrong.

"Are you sure about what you're saying, Evie?, what do we do?," she murmured gravely, uneasily.

"First, you have to calm down, they can't realize we're scared or they might attack us," I said and she didn't seem too convinced of what I was saying, "We have to do something, we're alone," I sighed heavily, seeing that the buildings around us were mostly off, as were the stores I managed to recognize.

Why me, knowing the risks of going out alone in the middle of the night, where the moon is at its highest point and people in the eighth sleep, without the possibility of having witnesses or a savior being to protect us at a time like that?

I was supposed to be working as a criminalist, I was supposed to know them all; the ways in which people died or disappeared according to all the cases I had had to read in two long years of career.

"Like what?, run?, there's no one," her voice trembled and I immediately noticed she was starting to cry, even though she was making an attempt to calm down, "We're going to die, Evie."

"No, it won't happen," I sighed stressed, "I brought the gear I bought online for personal protection, but we could get away unscathed if I knew how many there were."

"How many?, is it more than two?," she looked at me horrified.

The brown-haired woman, had all her senses on alert due to the dangerous situation she was in, as if her survival instinct had been activated. Although nothing like this had ever happened to her before, she had prepared herself mentally to face it, even buying some tools that could help her escape from any dangerous situation.

What she did not know, however, was that her current situation, like that of her best friend, was coldly calculated, that their escape was only a worst-case scenario.

Evie, in the midst of trying to calm her friend and herself, noticed through the reflection of a car that one of them was dangerously close and was about to take them by surprise, however, she was more skillful and turned on the taser she had in her hand.

As soon as he decided to attack, she turned around being driven by fear and plunged the electricity of the device into the man's neck, at the same time she screamed with her friend for the reaction of the moment.

As soon as the man fell to the ground, his breath hitched and his hands were shaking, while her friend didn't even know where she had been.

She didn't have time to think, when her friend pushed her to make her realize that her torment didn't end there.

Two more men, surprised by Evie's bravery and angry at the same time at why he was knocked unconscious, moved to attack them.
