Emma Dupont shifted her backpack and
lowered her head as she struggled through the crowded street. Panic struck as
the sunlight faded.
It
would mean sure death to get caught out after dark
“Watch
where you’re goin’, you stupid bitch!”
Rough
hands shoved her into the edge of speeding traffic. With great effort, she
steadied herself, stepped back onto the sidewalk, and quickened her pace.
Making
sure no one noticed her, she ducked into an alleyway and banged on the side of a
blue dumpster with a series of raps. A camouflaged door slid open.
She
tossed her backpack inside then hurried down the metal steps into the arms of a
dark-haired man who held her while she sobbed.
“Susan,
please bring Emma a cup of tea,” he instructed.
