Thriller The Story of Meera

[Priyanka98]

"Sharon! Where is she?" the man asked again. He signaled the other three men to search for her in the apartment.
"She left for home in the morning," I said in utter confusion, "Her mother is sick."
"That lying piece of shit!" the man growled, "She disappeared with a large packet of heroin she was supposed to deliver."
I couldn't believe my ears. I had never imagined that Sharon was involved with drug dealers.
"Take her instead," the man said, "she'll do just fine."
"What?" I screamed her eyes wide open in horror, "Why me? I had nothing to do with this...please let me go."
"Do you know the cost of the packet Sharon stole?" the man growled, "You are going to recover those costs for us."
"No please..." I begged as the men dragged me out of the door and down the stairs, "Please let me go...please..."
"Hold her," one of the men said, "We'll get the car."
Two men held me while the other two, left to get their car. I was still in shock, I could barely realize what was happening. But I knew this was my only chance of escaping. I used all my strength to struggle free from their grip and ran as fast as could. I turn into a dark alley but I could not run further as there was a dead end. I tried to retrace my steps, but I heard those men talking, "Where the fuck did she go? Find her at any cost! Spread out, search in each and every alley!"
I knew I had to hide. I could never outrun them. I found a dumpster in that alley. I hid behind it. I was trembling in fear. I had my phone with me, I tried to call Kabir, but he didn't answer. I called him again and again but still there was no answer. I started to type a text but he called back. I answered almost immediately, but I guess one of the goons heard my phone ringing and started rapidly approaching me.
"You OK Meera?" Kabir asked.
"Kabir...some men are after me...it's because of Sharon, she was involved with drug dealers...and now she's gone leaving me alone and...now they are after me...please help...me please..."
"Where are you now?" he asked.
"I'm hiding in an alley near my apartment near the...," I could barely complete my sentence when I saw one of those men standing right in front of me and screamed.
"Found her! Over here!" he shouted out to the other men.
The man grabbed me roughly and dragged me out. My phone dropped out of my hand and slipped under the dumpster. He slapped me multiple times and said, "Shut the fuck up bitch, the more noise you make, the worse this is going to be for you."
"We need to drag her for quite some distance," another man said, "These alleys are too narrow for the car."
