Hide in the cart

Deciding that the canvas was the best thing to hide under, Druuna ran over to the cart and crawled in under the heavy fabric of the canvas.

She found that she was laying next to several metal boxes, which felt cold against her exposed skin.

After a short period of time, she could hear three voices speaking next to the cart.

?So, what happened??

?Well, we came here and spotted a girl who ran away. We tried to follow her, but lost track of her.? A second, rougher voice replied.

?Figured you could sell her to me, eh?? The first voice asked merrily.

?Hey, she was fucking beautiful. You could have sold her on for a smaller fortune!?

?Well, I guess that I?ll have to settle with selling what was in her bags.?

?Yeah, we saw that you have already taken them, you greedy bastard.? A third voice now joined the conversation.

?No I haven?t, I left them lying by those rocks over there.? The first voice replied.

?I didn?t see them when we returned here.? The second voice said.

?I haven?t taken them!?

?Then she?s been here! Let?s look for her!?

Druuna laid completely still as she heard how the three men began moving around the beach, trying to find her.
