Someone squeezed my shoulders from behind and I whirled around to hug Max real tightly but when he wrapped his arms around my waist, I felt a weird feeling, like my gut feeling was telling me that something was wrong. This feeling. This smells like danger. No it can't be what I'm thinking it is. My eyes widened in shock when recognition dawned on me.

This isn't Max!

This stranger seized the sides of my waist a little too tight. Not a little. Too tight. I immediately unwrapped my arms from around his neck and tried to push him away but in vain.

"Leave me!" I wheezed out while trying to control my ragged breathing.

"Leave me!" I yelled at the stranger again, my voice trembling.

Just then, I heard the jiggling of the little bell at the door, announcing someone's arrival and I stopped thrashing around to look at the door. Even though my eyes were welled up with tears, I could still see Max standing bewilderingly at the door, clearly.

"Max!" I cried and started thrashing around to get away from this stranger again but he tightened his hold on me, making me cry out in pain.

"Hey!" Max shouted, his voice echoing in the now deadly silent coffee shop.

"Oh, looks like lover boy is finally here", the stranger whispered in my left ear, making an eerie kind of feeling settled deep down in my stomach. It's as through my heart stopped beating for a second and everything around me froze. I knew this voice.

I could never forget this voice. I could never forget this voice. I could never forget this voice. I could never - I yelped when he pulled my hair from behind, making my scalp ache like a bitch. Everything was spinning around me and I could not understand what was going on anymore.

Just then, the guy was yanked away from me and I fell down on my knees, my aching and spinning head in my hands.

"Are you okay, young lady?" I heard a soft gravelly like voice, asking me and then, arms were wrapped warmly around my upper back, holding me still.

I merely nodded, finding it hard to respond with a dried up throat.

I looked up and found the Friends' library's owner knelt down beside me, holding me gently like I was some fragile object which could break if it's not handled with care. I smiled kindly at the old woman and pressed my head on her chest, hugging her. She held me in her arms while I cried. I just couldn't help it. Why is he back? Why?

"Get the hell away from her, Matt!" Max seethed out at Matt and pushed the latter on the chest so hard that he stumbled toward the door.

Max knows him? How?

"What? Are you going to be her knight in shining armor again?" Matt pushed Max like he pushed him but Max stood his ground and only chuckled at Matt's weak attempt at fighting him back.

What the hell is he talking about? Max, my knight in shining armor? And again?

What again?

Max only shrugged in response.
