The man in black noticed the impending danger and swiftly evaded, barely missing Clark's head with a table lamp. Fortunately, Arabella managed to kick it aside.
More men in black poured into the first floor. Arabella turned to Logan behind her, "You all escape through the window. I've arranged for Jerry to meet you outside. Clark, use my phone to call Jerry."
With that, she threw her phone to Clark, bolted the door, and turned her steely gaze to the dozen or so men in black.
"Who are you, and why are you meddling?" The leader of the men in black was bristling with murderous intent, his piercing eyes radiating terrifying intimidation.
"Your worst nightmare," Arabella retorted as she was in no mood for small talk.
Clark had no clue about his sister's phone password. Fortunately, he was a hacker. After a bit of effort, he managed to crack it, only to find out it was simply 123456.
He almost shed a tear at the simplicity. After calling Jerry, he helped the two elders climb out the window, leave through the yard, and arrive at the entrance just as Jerry's car pulled up.
"Don't worry. Jerry will take you to a safe place," He had to go back to help Arabella. He couldn't let her face that danger all alone.
"My ba.." Taylor whimpered, "It has the scarf Carol knitted for me, and the necklace she bought me with her first paycheck."
Even though they were not valuable, they meant the world to her. It was all she had left to remember her by.
"Don't worry, I'll get your bag," Clark assured her as more men in black approached. He quickly closed the car door and prepared to face them alone.
"Stay safe, Clark." Taylor banged on the car window, terrified as she saw Clark being surrounded.
Logan didn't expect things to get that complicated and dangerous, "Stop the car."
Jerry thought he heard wrong.
"I can't leave those kids alone in this danger. Stop the car," Logan insisted, feeling that he needed to help them, "Those people are after us. We can't leave those kids to face them all by themselves!"
