As I pouring for him, I take out the drug from my bag and put it in the glass.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy gave me the drug earlier in case of emergency, and now it\u2019s the time.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit that Mindy\u2019s foresight saves me.<\/p>\n<p>I bring the wine over and he drinks it in one go without any suspect.<\/p>\n<p>After that, he starts to tease me and flirt with me.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I don\u2019t understand most of his words.<\/p>\n<p>I just nod and smile quietly, counting down the time for him to faint.<\/p>\n<p>Mindy told me that the drug has a strong effect.<\/p>\n<p>Barring accident, he should be fainted as expected in one minute.<\/p>\n<p>The man really has a strong body.

It\u2019s a call from Mindy.<\/p>\n<p>I pick up the phone and speak breathlessly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello, Mindy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJane, are you all right? Did that man do anything bad to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She sounds anxious.<\/p>\n<p>If she were in the United States now, she would rush here directly with weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine. I have your drug which I have put in his wine. Now he\u2019s sleeping dead, so I\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I reply quietly to soothe her anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou use all?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mindy sounds surprised at the other end of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care Hilda\u2019s attitude towards the thing tonight.<\/p>\n<p>I only care about Frances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no interest in what Hilda would do. I only want to know news about Frances. Mindy, if there is bad news of him, you can\u2019t lie to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll right. You may rest assured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Helplessly, she promises me.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing particular happened in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>However, on the third day, looking at the man still lying on the ground, I really find it hard to explain what happened.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, there is a knock at the door.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody has ever knocked my door since I came here.<\/p>\n<p>Who could it be?<\/p>\n<p>I open the door on the alert and meet an innocent child\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a little girl who\u2019s about seven or eight years old. She\u2019s so cute, and my vigilance disappears instantly.<\/p>\n<p>She raises her hands high and gives me an envelope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello, are you Ms. Jane Noyes?
