Simultaneously, Nancy closed the gap between them, her fury palpable as she
placed her hands on her hips in a stance of indignation. In that moment, her
intense desire to confront Millie was unmistakable.
Nancy drew a deep breath, poised to confront Millie head-on.
“Fool me, you wretched creature? I'll make you pay for this. You're dead!”
Nancy's rage erupted in a fierce proclamation.
Abruptly, Millie’s hand shot upward, flinging a dark object towards a nearby

“Fine, you win. I'll hand over the recorder.”
Seizing the momentary distraction, Millie swiftly darted into the nearby alley.

discover that it was a mere pencil.
“It was a deception. This isn't the recorder pen.”
Humphrey's frustration manifested in a punch against the adjacent wall, yet he
remained skeptical of Millie's chances of eluding capture. A dead-end loomed
ahead, terminating at the riverbank. The river raced with a formidable current,
making a leap into its depths an improbable escape route for Millie.

on the abyss below. Tremors rippled through her legs as the gravity of the
situation set in.
Her flight had culminated in a dead end. Frustration surged within her. To evade
Humphrey's grasp, she faced a daunting choice, either scale the wall or plunge
into the river's embrace.
In a daring move, she leaped, aiming to reach the wall’s crest, but her fingertips
fell short, unable to make contact.

The nearing footsteps intensified Millie's anxiety, causing a cold sweat to bead on
her skin.
