Nancy was bowled over the moment she heard Stanley's name. Her heart was already in her throat. She followed Angela's finger and saw a serious-looking man wearing a handsome black uniform exclusive for armed police captains. It was Stanley!
Stanley had an unusually sensitive ears, so he noticed them quickly.
Angela knew Nancy had got a crush on Stanley, so she stood on her tiptoes and waved to him.
Stanley glanced at them, ascertained who Angela was with, and then immediately shifted his glance to something unimportant, both Angela and Nancy being witnesses to this rudeness.
Nancy felt physically ill. She held Angela's waving arm down and pinned it her thigh. "Angela.. What are you doing?"
Just then, Stanley seemed to have a change of heart and hurried suddenly towards them.
"He's coming this way!" Nancy fixed her eyes on Stanley, but didn't realize she would soon be in danger.
Immersed in Stanley's handsome face, she didn't notice a light flash by. Stanley leapt, raising his right leg. A penny-drop sound. He had skillfully kicked a dagger out of a man's hand. The knife was meant for Nancy.
A painful shout was heard. Nancy saw the sharp dagger which had barely missed her. Stanley kicked again, and the assailant lay on the ground helplessly. People around were frightened away when they saw the dagger. The man had gang tattoos plastered on his neck.
Not until then did Angela see the gangster. Nancy was scared to death when she had seen his face. She accidentally dropped the tea to the ground.
Just as Stanley was about to take out his handcuffs, the gangster slithered out of his grasp, and jumped up on his feet. More people showed up, rushing in all directions. It was hard to tell what was going on.
Stanley shouted to them. "Run!"
Angela knew the situation was out of control. She couldn't tell who was who in the commotion. So many people were running that they became indistinguishable. But through the churning crowds, masked men became noticeable. Angela kicked the shards of tea away and tried to drag Nancy up. She was in shock and couldn't run.
The gangsters prevented such escapes. Two masked men blocked their way.
Angela pushed Nancy behind her, confronted by the two men.
One of them swung a chain, while the other brandished a dagger. They rushed at Angela.
She held her breath.
Somehow she managed to defend herself

s knife straight through Angela's arm. The pain was intolerable.
Here came another stab. Suddenly, Angela felt herself pushed to the ground. When she could see clearly, she shouted, "Nancy!"
When the gangsters saw this, they swung and their daggers flew through the air. They landed on Nancy. Angela was losing blood; all she could see was the gangster lying on top of Nancy. When he stood up, she saw a dagger standing upright in her chest. The other immediately tried to stab her a second time...
"Nancy!" Angela screamed with her voice cracking when she saw Nancy was stabbed twice.
It was exactly her screaming that made Stanley find them. He had been hurrying about trying to find them, but the damage had been wreaked, and he was too late.
Stanley was shocked by what he saw. A dagger stood in Nancy's stomach. The gangster yanked it out with a handkerchief, and blood squirted out everywhere...
Stanley flew into a paroxysm of rage. He snapped into action by booting another dagger out of the man's hand. Angela held Nancy in her arms.
Nancy put her hands on the bleeding belly. Blood ran out of every breath. Her face went pale as sheet. Angela totally forgot about her own injury. She was also scared to death with tears dropping down. "Nancy... Nancy..."
She kept screaming at Nancy, and her mind became crowded out. Her only priority was Nancy, whose expression faltered with pain and, what was scarier, calm. No more words. She wasn't capable. She stopped saying her name, too. It seemed impossible to do so, when Angela suddenly felt the chill of being all alone.
