The husky male voice was just the same as when he had spoken to her at that busy road, but now it sounded so much more sinister. She shrugged away from his grasp. “Please keep your hands to yourself!” she snapped as she stepped away and spun around to glare up at him. “What do you want with me?” He stepped away from her and his smile vanished as he looked at her uncertainly. “Nothing... I just...” “Well then I shall be on my way... kindly keep your distance.” She was just about to turn and start walking again when another male voice shouted. “Sadie!” They both looked back the way that they had come, and as Nick appeared, Sadie's face lit up, and the stranger brushed past her to stride away quickly. Nick looked like he had been running, as he walked quickly towards her. “Are you okay?” he asked his eyes full of concern, as he looked down at her, and then over her head in the direction that the man had gone. Sadie grinned up at him. “I am now!” she said happily.
