"Two hundred bucks," the person holding the money was still greedy, not willing to give in. "She should have more than that." "This is all the cash we have," Nina replied. "If you want more, there's nothing left. Let her go, don't end up causing trouble for yourselves." "Are you trying to intimidate us?" They scoffed. "We're not easily scared. Just by selling a few of you, we could make more than a measly two hundred bucks.
"This cash is just a drop in the bucket, it should be at least twenty grand." "Twenty grand? Who carries that amount in cash? That's not realistic. How about this, you let her go, and I'll get the money for you," Nina replied.

If you want to redeem yourselves, you have to pay the price!" Seeing they were being unreasonable, greedy beyond measure, Nina furrowed her brows and said calmly, "I'm trying to negotiate with you out of kindness. Let her go, take these two hundred bucks, it's better than nothing. But it seems you don't want to reason, so be it, I'll call the cops!" Nina took out her phone. Their faces changed. "Calling the cops? Do you even have tto call the cops?" They rushed towards Nina, trying to grab her and snatch her phone. Seeing this, Nina raised her other hand, spraying them in the eyes with pepper spray. "Ahh-" "Taylor!" Nina shouted.
Taylor, still a bit panicked, saw Nina succeed and sprayed the others with the bottle she had.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Taylor kicked wildly in frenzy.
They got hit by the pepper spray and were all rubbing their eyes.
Nina looked at Eve. "Eve, hurry, cover here!" Eve was petrified, her legs feeling weak. When she heard Nina calling her, she managed to react. "Oh!" She hurried over to Nina's side. But one of the men grabbed Eve's leg, causing her to scream, "Ah, let go of me, let go of me!" Nina saw it and quickly stepped on the man's fingers with her high heels. He screamed in pain and was forced to release Eve. "We need to run quickly!" Nina exclaimed.
The pepper spray would soon wear off, and they would be fine shortly. She could not guarantee everyone's safety but wanted them to get to the car where they would be much safer.
Eve was trembling in fear, her legs still shaky as she limped while running. They still had a stretch to go in the alley. Tears were streaming down her face as she saw the furious men closing in. They would catch up soon, and she did not want té burden Nina. "You guys run, I can't keep going. I..." She choked up.

Nina grabbed her hand firmly, speaking sterly, "Keep running. Those guys are drug addicts. They do the anything for money. Your grandfather has only you left. Do you want to make him worry about you again?"
Those words instantly sobered Eve up. In this world, she only had then grandfather left. For his sake, she had to pull herself together. "Yeah, yeah," Eve nodded, running and crying at the stime.
Nina and Taylor practically supported Eve as they ran. When they reached the car, the men were right behind them.
They got into the car, but Nina did not have tto fasten her seatbelt She quickly started the car, but then heard a loud "bang." A stone hit her car window.
"Ah-!"
