"Wake up!"

Anna squirmed as she felt her shoulders shake. Lazily, he flipped his body. But Anna was forced to open her eyes when her arms were pulled until she sat on the bed.

Anna was shocked and inched back quickly to the end of the bed. "What's up?" his tenya after recovering from his shock.

"We have to go now!" exclaimed the man while lifting up Nina who was still sound asleep her crib.

Anna's brain was spinning fast, the matter must have come!

"What's going on?" Anna grabs her bag and runs to get her sandals.

"There's no time" the man pulls Anna's hand into the kitchen and opens the kitchen window wide while Nina wakes up and starts rubbing her eyes.

"You can't do it!" anna panicked. The foreign man intended to jump out through the kitchen window whose height reached more than three meters.

"Mamaaa.." Nina's hand reached for Anna.

"Unless you want them to catch you" said the man calmly as he pulled out his legs and jumped easily down. "Hurry up!" she said as she stretched out her arms after lowering Nina from her sling.

"Oh my God!" Anna knew she had no other choice, her eyes were closed when she began to jump. Please, Lord, I don't want my leg broken because of this man's stupidity. Instantly, Anna could feel her body being in a warm embrace. Anna opened her eyes and it turned out that she was already in the man's arms. Immediately Anna released herself with a pale face.

"Where can we get a cab?" asked the man as he ducked among the bushes, his eyes watching around sharply.

"We need to get to the highway first" Anna replied with a fast-pounding heart.

The man brought his index finger closer to the lips while glancing at the courtyard of the flats. Anna's heart beat rapidly as she watched several men dressed in all-black clothes get off the jeep. Then they talked to his colleagues who had been waiting around the car that had been parked since the afternoon.

Anna knew the car, she had already seen it, before her she thought it was the guest car of one of the residents of the flats. But the foreigner in his house could smell the strange gelagat from the car because that's why he decided to immediately get out of Anna's compartment once another car came. He's used to dealing with critical situations and he's trained to make the right decisions in the quickest possible time.

"Other streets?" whispered the man.

Anna nodded and took a detour past the back side of the flats. Their steps are faster when the side of the highway is visible.

Anna anxiously stopped the first taxi that passed by. After entering first, Anna grabs Nina and hugs her tightly while the stranger enters and closes the taxi door.

"Freyster Embassy, Kuningan" the man said in a steady voice.

The taxi went faster, Anna looked through the back glass. Nothing but dark. What's he doing now? what was the fate of her and her daughter after this incident? Anna gulped, those people must have gotten into her compartment by now. What will happen to his residence? would it fall apart like he often sees in movies?

Anna shook her head, she didn't even bring a change of clothes.
