Unfortunately, the saying is true: although one does not look for trouble, trouble does not necessarily leave one be.
Upon sensing an impending attack towards their group, the four young women swiftly jumped to four different directions. A split second later, a loud sound of impact was heard, and the centre of the road where they were just standing before formed a concaved crack.
