ATONEMENT (THE BOOK) PAGE 5

She could hear the blare of the siren but,her lids felt heavy she couldn't open them,she mustered enough power and fluttered them open.The masked man in green clothes was yelling at the woman in similar apparel,he held two flat metal in his hands the woman kept passing him objects each time he dropped the metal.
