Music Recommendation : Middle of the Night by Elle Duhè.

Looking at the festive atmosphere of the streets of New York, one would know that Christmas was fast approaching.

Even though it was nighttime, that alone could not stop all the hustling and bustling.

Sitting beside the biggest company building in NYC, a girl sat with her guitar entertaining the passersby with her melodious voice.

Looking at her, one wouldn't help but notice her. Even in disguise, she was still the center of attraction.

Blessed with a beautiful face and the gift of music, even with all that, she was still drowning in debts.

Trying to make ends meet, she decided to use her talents on the busy streets of NYC.

OMG! The girl panicked, trying to hide and run away from the goons who were coming from the opposite direction.

Desperately trying to hide, she ran and hid inside the back seat of a flashy car, leaving the money she had made for the night.

Remembering this, Melody inwardly groaned but consoled herself, thinking it was for the best, because if she was caught, she would have been sold to a brothel

Yup, the life of a 23 year old orphan, with multiple jobs.

As the car started to move, Melody prayed that the owner of the car won't be a bad person.

The driver of the car, oblivious that someone was in the car, entered the car and drove off while listening to his jam.

.....

Lucas immediately extinguished the light on his cigarette, smashing it with his shoes. He didn't want to anger his boss after seeing his mood.

Seated at the back seat of his Maybach, Dallas felt a gnawing feeling on his chest, as if something bad was gonna happen, he waved it aside thinking it was due to his bad day at the office.

He was going on a mission tonight, and nothing could stop him, not even this feeling .

Drive Lucas, we need to prepare quickly.

Yes boss, Lucas responded while driving away.

Aside from being his driver, Lucas was also his bodyguard, even though he didn't need one.

...

It was more than 10 mins since the car Melody hid in stopped, deciding it was safe to come out

Melody didn't know where this place was, so she decided to keep her guard up.

Before she could fully appreciate the beauty of the place, she heard voices coming from the opposite direction.

Get all the materials from the back seat, the voice ordered before turning away.

Trying to get away from there as soon as possible before she could get caught, she ran into a dark alley abruptly, bumping into someone.

Before she could scream, a hand covered her mouth using the other hand to place a knife on her throat.
