Kate was stunned. They were besieged, and there was no way to escape. It was a remote place, far away from downtown. A few passers-by fled when they saw the scene. Kate reached to her pocket for her cell phone.
John was outnumbered and was soon kicked down on the floor, as sticks and feet came down on him. Sarah turned pale and screamed like a siren.
Seeing John in danger, Kate shouted, "Stop! I've called the police. They're on their way."
However, her words did not threaten those people at all. After a pause of a few seconds, sticks continued to rain down on John. Kate intended to help John up during this pause but felt a strike on her back during the chaos. She became dizzy and suddenly fell on top of John.
John held his head with both hands and cried in panic, "Kate, are you OK? Son of a bitch! How can you beat a woman…?"
John roared with anger and rose up, about to put up a desperate fight.
