The shrill sound of an alarm blared in the bar.
Everyone in the bar looked at each other in confusion and surprise until someone shouted,
“The police are coming!”
The whole bar was thrown into chaos. Some people were so shocked they could only look
around, aghast, uncertain of what to do. But a few others, who were guilty of one thing or
the other, took to their heels immediately.
Before anyone else could leave, two police officers rushed in through the main entrance.
The leading police officer said sternly, “Everyone, please be quiet. We have received a
report that someone in the bar is using illegal drugs. Now please cooperate with us in
handling this case. We won’t take too much of your time, but we will arrest anyone who
doesn’t cooperate with us for obstruction of justice.”
Many of the guests in the bar calmed down and cooperated with the police and answered
all the questions they were asked promptly.

She didn’t make any attempt to answer.
It was Lance who finally replied in an equally low voice.
“Yes, they should have. But the police can’t rule out the possibility that whomever they
are looking for is not alone. They could have gathered here to take drugs together, so they
have to look into it.”
Gathering to take drugs? AIDS?
Bettie trembled with disgust and rolled her eyes at him.
“I didn’t ask you.”

Bettie curled her lips. But instead of exchanging any further words with him, she turned to
look at Sabrina. Her brows furrowed as she took in Sabrina’s face.
“Sabrina, why do you look so pale? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“I feel a little dizzy.” Sabrina rubbed her chest and said, “My heart is beating fast. Maybe
it’s because I’ve been very busy and haven’t had a good rest.”
“Alas!” Bettie sighed.
