Mattie hurried past the bustling crowd blocking her way. If she didn’t get to her interview on time, there would be no chance of securing this job. She’d thought she knew exactly where the building was, but she’d been proven wrong. How was it that, when you’re in the midst of them, most skyscrapers look alike?

She paused for a moment, looked up, and glanced around. For an instant, she felt dizzy and quickly closed her eyes. When she felt her equilibrium stabilize, she reopened her eyes. She took a deep breath and told herself not to do that again.

“Excuse me, miss. Are you okay?”

She turned at the male voice and found kind eyes staring back at her. Heat rose in her cheeks. “Um, I, uh, I’m lost,” she admitted.

“Where are you trying to get to?”

She studied the young man in the fancy suit for a moment and decided she’d have to trust him. He seemed nice, but one could never know. She lifted the paper she’d written the address on and showed the man.

He nodded and smiled. “You’re almost there. It’s just on the next block.”

“Oh, thank you. I was beginning to think I’d never find it.”

“Yes, it would be very easy for one to get lost in this city.” He glanced up ahead. “I can walk you there, if you’d like.”

“Oh, no, that’s not necessary. But thank you.”

“No problem.” He smiled.

Mattie watched the man disappear into the building they were standing in front of, and briefly wondered if he worked there. When she began walking again, she realized the crowd she’d passed earlier had now passed her by. Oh well. She sighed and decided not to pass them again. It wasn’t worth the effort.

She tried to walk as quickly as she could. It wouldn’t do if she was late for this interview.

“Hey!”

As soon as she turned her head to see what the disturbance was about, she suddenly lost her footing. When she realized what was happening, she attempted to cry out. Searing pain burned her legs as they scraped along the surface of the alleyway. Mattie tried to pull loose from the strong man, who pulled her mercilessly down the frightening darkened corridor.

Her heart beat rapidly. “Please! Let me go,” she cried.

“Not a chance,” the ruthless perpetrator mumbled.

Her body suddenly dropped to the ground and she winced in pain. It was then she realized the man in the suit had returned and was currently slamming her assailant into a concrete wall. She gasped when the attacker lunged toward the man in the suit at full force and they tussled on the ground beside her.

She momentarily pondered whether she should flee or stay to be sure her rescuer made it out alive. Her instincts told her to do the former, but she didn’t have the heart to leave him there alone to fight this monster.

“Run!” the man in the suit commanded.

She briefly hesitated, then did as bidden. Her body ached with each step, but she continued until she reached the sidewalk near the busy street.
