A chill crept from my feet up to my spine, and I immediately quickened my pace. Sure enough, the footsteps behindsped up as well.
When I opened the car door, a pair of large hands reached out from behind, and a damp cloth with a strange smell was pressed over my face. Before I could struggle, my vision blurred to black, and I lost consciousness entirely.

I leaned back against the pillar and coughed several times, struggling to speak. "What do you want from us?" The man snorted, and I saw him exchange a look with Elsa.
He said coldly, "I heard the Brown family is rich. I'm here to ask for spocket change." Elsa immediately spoke up. "We
