In the small room with dim lights, Ruth was completely naked and was shaking like a leaf. There was an old man in bold laying in his own pool of blood.
"Ruth?" Sabrina shouted.
Ruth scrambled up and ran towards Sabrina, sobbing. Sabrina immediately pulled her handkerchief out from her handbag for Ruth to cover up as much as she could.
"Ruth, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" she asked, worried.
"Sabrina...I didn't. I did what you said and fought with everything I had. But when I resisted, they stripped m e down to nothing and even tossed my undergarments away. This old man came in and hit me in the head but I white-knuckled through it. I waited until he undressed himself and then I took his belt and smacked his head with the buckle over and over again. I'm so scared...am I going to jail?"
Sabrina pulled Ruth into her arms and comforted her." You did right, Ruth. You have been great, so great.
That was nothing but self-defense, you'll be fine."
Just as she was speaking, a woman in heels stepped into the room from behind them and stopped right before Sabrina. "So you are here to butt in?"
Sabrina turned. The woman had big curls in her hair
with a cigarette in her mouth. It was clear that this woman had been in the industry for years and was someone who could not compromise easily.
Sabrina sneered. "I've already shown my picture to those four men of yours."
"Wife to Master Sebastian of South City?" The woman returned the sneer.
