I was stunned! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head and backed away. But Gina grabbed my hair. She pulled me into that cage! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, she closed the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Let me out!” I shouted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina took a look at me. “Let you out? It’s impossible!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said to a sister, “go out and discuss how to get her to talk.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No problem.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They flattered her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I curled up in this cage and began to shiver. I was more scared than when I was outside with my head covered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was really afraid to experience what I had experienced in prison again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, I closed my eyes as if I could see the scene in the prison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was scared. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t control that fear. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I even felt sick. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon they came in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They tortured me as much as they did in prison. I curled up in the cage and was held by them. The wax oil dripped on me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t stop dodging, but I was still burned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, they were unhappy. It turned into smoke and finally into a knife. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like the pirate game. No matter how I hid, I would be hurt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The blade had worn through my body. The blood soaked my clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But they were afraid that I would die and finally stopped. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was lying in the cage in a very twisted position. Although I was not hurt badly, I was hurt all over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was late. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t sleep, but I heard Gina on the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t tell who she was calling, but her tone seemed to be coaxing children. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Children. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The idea was absurd to me. In my opinion, women like Gina wouldn’t have children. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I was thinking, I heard Gina shouting, “get up. Don’t sleep. Someone’s coming!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then the door of my room was opened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina and a couple of people surrounded me with knives and pulled me straight out of the cage. They put knives around my neck. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon I heard the door open and a lot of footsteps. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I saw several policemen rush in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Drop your weapon!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t come here. If you come here, I’ll kill her!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The two sides were confronting each other. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard the footsteps of leather shoes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean came in from the outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The moment he came in, Gina’s sisters around me took a deep breath. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One muttered, “it’s true.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina’s knife around my neck shook. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked at me. It was too dark for me to see his expression. I heard him say, “let her go. How much do you want?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ten million dollars!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, fifty million dollars!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, fifty million dollars! We want cash!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina’s sisters said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean stood there calmly. “The whole York doesn’t have that much cash.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t lie to us. You’ve called the police. How can you give us the money?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina obviously didn’t trust him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I called the police to find her, not to arrest you. As long as she’s OK, I’ll give you money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s words were fascinating. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could feel that they wanted to say yes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Or shall we have less cash?” It was proposed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Twenty million dollars in cash!” Gina shouted, “and you need to find a car to see us off.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You can’t take 20 million cash and you can’t leave even if you have a car. I can give you gold bars. It’s a little heavy, but you can take it with you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was helping them out! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK!” Gina’s sisters agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Wait a minute.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean said, turning away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was back in less than five minutes. A policeman dropped two ammunition boxes on the ground. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean said, “here are two hundred gold bars.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two people went to get the money. When they opened the box, it was full of gold bars. Even if it was dark, it was shiny. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It was really 200 gold bars!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina’s sister was surprised. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Now that you’ve got the money, can you let her go?” Sean asked them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No way! We’re going to take her. I’ll give her a phone. She’ll call you in five hours and tell you where she is!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Gina was experienced. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She didn’t take the money to leave but asked me to protect her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Sean disagreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s impossible.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said firmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Take the gold bar!” Gina took me outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Several sisters followed her with the box. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although the box was not big, it was heavy. Two people could barely take one. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was injured so I walked very slowly. Gina got angry and cut my arm with a knife. She scolded, “don’t lie to me! Don’t think you are a hostage so I dare not kill you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Blood flowed down my arm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just then, the surrounding police came to subdue them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean rushed to take care of me in her arms. He asked me, “are you ok?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe it was because I was in his arms that my fear had diminished. I leaned against him and said, “I’m fine.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt relieved. Sean suddenly got in my way. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and saw Gina breaking away from the police. She had a long knife in her hand and the point of it was on Sean! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sean!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shouted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police came to stop her but the knife still hurt Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s arm was on me. He smiled and said, “it’s OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His words made me cry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was at a loss holding him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon the ambulance pulled me and him away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My injury was not serious. They were all skin injuries, so I recovered soon. Sean was lucky. Although the knife hurt his abdomen, it didn’t hurt his internal organs. But he still needed a rest. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The day after I was admitted to the hospital, a policeman named Mike came to me to take notes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said everything. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of all my recent sufferings and my dead child, I decided not to let her go this time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I deliberately described my previous experience in prison as miserable and showed him my armpit scars. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could see Mike sympathized with me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took advantage of his sympathy. I talked about my experiences in Carter Family and after I was released from prison. In the end, I asked him to keep everyone secret when investigating the case. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Otherwise someone would intervene. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Mike hesitated for a moment and agreed to my request. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
