Emily and Linda happily clinked glasses.

"Although it's a bit late, let's celebrate our narrow escape!" Linda drank her own champagne in one breath.

"Wrong, it should be celebrating our rebirth!" Emily also drank her non-alcoholic champagne.

"I'm too busy to go home this week, how are you?" Linda put down the glass.

"I'm fine. I went to try out a few biogenetics classes. It was really difficult." Actually, Emily didn't have a good time in the past week.

Emily spent the night in the hospital when she was rescued by the FBI, and returned home the next day.Although the New York police sent a female police officer to accompany Emily, it was fine during the day, but every night, Emily was always suspicious and suspected that someone had entered the room.On the third day after being rescued, JJ notified Emily that all members of the cult had been arrested and brought to justice, so the female police officer who had been with Emily for two days also left.Emily goes to school during the day every day, and turns on the lights all night at night, and has been afraid to sleep.

"What's the matter? Look at you, you can't even cover the dark circles under your eyes." Linda reached out and tapped Emily on the forehead, "I don't know you yet? With your courage, these few days I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to sleep.” As a roommate who has rented with Emily for a year, Linda still knows Emily very well.

"Please, it's normal for me to be afraid, okay?" Emily didn't want to hide her roommate, "You are one of the few who jumped out alive to shoot magazines the next day after being kidnapped!" Linda's most prominent One characteristic is boldness. Once, she met a robber with a knife on the road. In order to defend the discounted high-heeled shoes of a certain c brand that she had bought with great pains, Linda insisted on holding the cardboard box and The robbers circled around for more than ten minutes until the police arrived.

"Okay, I will start work late tomorrow, and I will go home to sleep tonight, so you can have a good night's sleep." Linda picked up her mobile phone, "Huh? My phone is out of battery."

"Do you want to contact Alan? You didn't tell him early today when work was over?" Emily knew how lively her little friend's manager scolded him.

"That's right, I'm just afraid that he will get mad if he can't find me for something at the last minute." Linda pressed the phone's power button twice, "It's over, the battery is completely dead."

"Call him with mine." Emily handed her mobile phone to Linda. "We won't be home for a while. Tell him to call this number first."

"Good idea." Linda took Emily's cell phone, and then - turned it off.

"Eh?" Emily was taken aback, "Linda, what are you doing?"

"I've been busy for almost a week. You don't know how tired I am. I just want to go home for a while, take a bath, and then lie in bed and have a good sleep. I don't want to receive calls from Allen!" Linda handed the phone back to Emily, "Alan has your number, if he can't find it, I will definitely call you, now you are also turned off, I am safe."

"Be careful he will go crazy tomorrow." Emily expressed contempt for her little friend's behavior of wanting to be happy today and not caring about tomorrow's life and death.

"Okay, I know you can speak Chinese." Linda took a bite of her own vegetable salad, "Anyway, I've been tired and hungry for the past few days, if I let Alan know that I'm having dinner here, he can take a bite of it." The plate hit my face. I don't care, I have to rest today anyway."

Emily looked a little funny at her little friend's broken expression, "Beauty has a price."

"Hmph, when I stop being a model, I'll eat all the restaurants in New York from start to finish!"

"Hi, Linda, Emily, good evening."

Before Emily could comment on Linda's rhetoric, someone suddenly interrupted.

"What a coincidence, you are eating here too."

Emily turned her head and found that Amanda, who lived in the same apartment as herself and Linda, was standing next to her and Linda's table with a man on her arm.

"Good evening, Emily, Linda."

eh eh? ? ?

Emily found that the man being held by the arm was none other than the resident next door to her, Steve.

"Steve? Why are you with Amanda?" Before Emily could respond, Linda lost her composure.

It’s over.

This was Emily's first reaction.

In the final analysis, human beings are also a kind of animal. Just as animals naturally reject people of the same sex who compete with themselves for mates, human beings also subconsciously reject other people of the same sex when facing the opposite sex.

This Steve had moved in a few months ago, and it happened to be the room next to Emily and Linda's, and on the first day he showed up, he caused an invisible storm in the apartment.

The apartment that Emily rents has convenient transportation and is located in a prosperous commercial area, but the rent is relatively cheap in the same area, so most of the people living in the apartment are young people.Students who are still in college and young white-collar workers who have just graduated occupy most of the apartment.

The day Steve moved in happened to be a weekend. Emily met Amanda who lived on the top floor in the elevator on the way down to do the laundry. The two of them got off the elevator at the same time. As soon as the elevator door opened, Amanda left. not moving.

The reason is that this new neighbor, Steve, is standing at the elevator door.

Emily and Amanda don't have a deep friendship, so she didn't care about her nympho, and went to the laundry room with her clothes on her own, but when she went to the convenience store and came home with the washed clothes , I found that—the girls in the apartment were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"So handsome, so handsome!" As soon as Emily entered the house, she was taken aback by Linda who stayed at home to clean up.You know, Linda is a person who has watched all kinds of big-name male models. It is rare to make her so excited.

"What's so handsome?" Emily didn't know what happened at the time.

"A handsome guy moved in next door!" Linda raised the broom directly, "I just heard the sound of someone moving something and opened the door to take a peek. He's so handsome!"

"Handsome guy? The one next door to us?" Emily took the clothes into her room, "I just saw a stranger waiting for the elevator, but I don't know if it's our new neighbor, what? Is he handsome? "

"So handsome!" Linda turned around directly, "Emily, let's knock on the door."

"What?" Emily was a little confused, "What door are you knocking on?"

"New neighbor! We should pay a visit!"

"Why didn't we see you so enthusiastically when Lucy moved in?" Emily resolutely spurned Linda's nympho behavior, "If you really want to visit someone, you have to wait until they pack their bags. "There is no reason for a new neighbor to knock on the door as soon as he enters the house, "And you can't go empty-handed if you want to visit someone, you have to bring some biscuits for them to send over."

"Listen! There's a knock on the door next door!" Linda didn't listen to Emily's words at all, and opened the door and rushed out as soon as she heard the noise.

Emily was also very curious at the time, how handsome this new neighbor was, and how excited her roommate, who had seen many high-standard handsome men, was so excited, so she followed him out.

I saw a total of five people standing at the door next door.

Amanda on the top floor, her roommate CC, the first floor resident Jenny, her roommate Linda, and a man in jeans and a T-shirt.

Later, the new neighbor refused all the girls' invitations to dinner at his house, and closed the door politely but firmly.

Although everyone was unsuccessful, Emily could always see other girls in the apartment secretly competing to see who could ask Steve first.

Now it appears that a winner has emerged.

"Steve and I made an appointment for dinner yesterday." Amanda put on a winning pose.

"Good evening, Steve." Emily also liked Steve as a neighbor.Even despite his looks, Steve was a delight.He treats people with sincerity and is willing to help others. In recent days, he dare not sleep and turn on the lights all night. Steve even knocked on the door to comfort him.

"Good evening." In contrast, Linda was not very happy.

It's not that Linda really fell in love with Steve, it's just that there is inevitably competition between beautiful girls and handsome guys. Emily knows that her roommate is just a little psychologically unbalanced.

"I'm full, so I'll go back first." Emily never dreamed that her roommate's reaction would be so great.

"Hey, Linda..." Linda actually pushed Amanda and Steve away and ran out.

"Wait!" Emily wanted to chase her out, but she hadn't bought the order yet, "This...she didn't even take her bag."

Amanda and Steve were also taken aback by Linda's reaction, "Emily, go and see quickly, nothing will happen." Although Amanda usually likes to keep away from Linda, the essence is still nice girl.

Emily hurriedly took the card to pay the bill, but she couldn't stand still and twisted a bit.

The restaurant requires formal attire, and Emily is wearing a pair of 10cm high heels today.Although Steve responded quickly and helped Emily, Emily still felt a pain in her ankle, "This...I..." Now, Emily really can't chase her roommate.

Seeing that Linda had already left the restaurant gate and ran across the road, Steve had no choice but to chase her.

Amanda, the unluckiest of the four, could only resign herself to watching her boyfriend go out to chase someone, "Linda, why is she so crazy today!"

"She...maybe she's been too tired recently and is in a bad mood." Emily also felt that her roommate was abnormal, but she couldn't tell Amanda about this.

"It's my bad luck!" Amanda helped Emily sit down, and she sat next to Emily, "I finally asked Steve out, and now Linda ruined it."

Emily laughed dryly, but didn't know what to say.Through the glass door of the restaurant, she saw Steve catch up to Linda, and then Linda didn't seem to want to come back, the two of them were blocked by a car waiting at the light.

"boom!"

"what!"

The sudden cry made Emily unexpected, and a dozen men in black rushed in from the direction of the kitchen, "Everyone, kneel down!"

For a while, the restaurant was filled with screams of people and the sound of bullets being fired.

It seemed that someone ran towards the gate in a panic. After Emily heard a gunshot, there were several bloody corpses on the ground.

"Everyone, kneel down!"

No one dared to run anymore, and all the living people, men and women, knelt on the ground trembling.

Emily almost fell off the chair directly, and the bullet fired from nowhere scratched her leg, causing burning pain.

"And (satisfy our conditions), or (otherwise)..." The cold muzzle of the gun hit the back of Emily's head, "we kill the hostage (kill the hostage)."
