Her eyes snapped open as she started fumbling for her phone. The caller ID revealed it to be a call from Henry.
Why's he calling me at this hour?
Afraid that she might wake Trisha up, Arielle headed to the bathroom to pick up the call.
“Henry, why re you...”
“Boss! Save me!” Henry's panicked voice crackled through the speaker.
His desperate plea was very quickly followed by the sound of fighting.
Arielle's expression turned grim. “Where are you?” she asked firmly.
“At the supper stand behind school!” “I'll be right there!” She hung up the phone and bolted straight to the door.
Right then, she heard ruffling noises coming from her roommate. Trisha had sat up and was looking at her. “Arielle, where are you going this late at night?”
“I'm heading to the food stand behind the school! My friend's in trouble.”
“The dormitory should be locked by now. I'll come down with you. The lady warden's my relative, so I can get her to open the gates for you.
“All right. Sorry for the trouble.” Arielle nodded.
“No worries. I'm glad I could repay you for your help.” While saying this, Trisha got out of bed
swiftly.
With Trisha's help, Arielle managed to get out of the dorm past the restricted hours smoothly.
Though the former volunteered to accompany her, Arielle flat-out refused for fear of her safety. “It's not a big deal, Trish. Go back to sleep. Oh yeah, help me apply for leave if I'm not back by tomorrow morning.”
