down the road.Despite that, the helicopter hovering above their heads was still well within earshot.Subsequently, their car came to an abrupt stop after seemingly hitting something. By the time Harold removed the bag over her head, Winnie realized that it was already dawn.She scanned the surroundings and was stunned by what she saw—a school.As the village school had worn-out facilities, its gate swung open upon being crashed into.An elderly man who worked as a security guard was swiftly tied up by Harold’s men.Thereafter, he closed the metal gate before firing two warning shots into the sky.Just a moment ago, a group of young children with red scarves tied around their necks was happily playing on the school field. The sudden arrival of Harold and his armed subordinates caused them to scatter in fear.Amidst the chaos, Harold’s men fired their guns indiscriminately.Unaware of what was going on, the teachers began to grab the fleeing students to stop them from running.When everyone at the scene finally stopped moving, Harold threatened all of them into entering a classroom in an orderly manner.At the same time, Winnie staggered forward after being yanked by him.“What the hell are you doing?

Because children were being held hostage, the police took extraordinary precautions.Soon, negotiations between both sides began.The police agreed to all of Harold’s demands on account of the hostages but asked for time to make preparations.With that, both sides fell into a temporary standoff.To prevent snipers from shooting through the windows, Harold’s men had barricaded them with tables and chairs.One of the tables had an exposed nail that Winnie discreetly ground against the belt that was restraining her.Unable to see what was behind her, she accidentally cut herself a few times while doing so.Nevertheless, her persistence was soon rewarded when she managed to cut one of them loose.With a little use of her dexterity, she finally managed to free herself from her restraints.Despite her newly won freedom, she pretended that nothing had happened.While Harold and his subordinates were softly hashing out their next steps, she seized upon the opportunity to peek out through
