I sat quietly next to Kathleen Drake, who was dealing with an increasingly tense situation. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she processed what was happening around her.
Just moments ago, the other passengers had been calling her name, but now they wanted to push her into danger with these bandits.
"You..." Kathleen's face twisted in anger, words failing her.
"Did you hear that? If you don't cooperate, they're all going to die," one bandit sneered at her.
Kathleen clenched her teeth and responded, "Don't even think about touching me! If you have the guts, just kill me!"
The two bandits erupted into laughter at her defiance.
Outside, the passengers grew even more furious.
"Kathleen, how can you be so selfish?" someone shouted.
Another voice called out, "That's right, do you want us to die with you?"
"We used to be your fans. Now we're unfollowing you!"
"Hurry up and cooperate, or we won't let you off!"
