Aria Sterling's heart sank as she looked at the men outside her car.
They didn't even flinch when she said she was calling the police.
Aria felt a surge of panic. She stared hard at their faces, trying to memorize every detail.
'They're bold enough to do this in the middle of the city. There must be someone powerful pulling the strings.'
'I just wonder if I'll live long enough to find out who it is.'
"I've already called the police! Don't do anything stupid!" Aria tried her best to keep her voice steady.
They didn't say a word. They just raised their baseball bats and began smashing her car.
Huddled in the car, Aria screamed in terror.
In a panic, she restarted the car, trying to shake them off, but she quickly crashed into a stone bollard on the other side, shattering the windshield completely.
A chill ran down her spine as she watched them shatter the driver and passenger-side windows.
Someone yanked open the car door and clamped a hand over her mouth.
