Chang was not mistaken, the growling loud sounds were the men, having returned . The growling of the engine cut off and she heard the sound of the metal doors slamming shut .
They dropped down off the ladder, and opened the door to the side room that she was in .
Chang drew herself up to her knees to face them, seeing spots as she pulled herself up .
The leader looked at Chang who was kneeling . "Give her some water and untie her for a bit . "

One of the men cut her bonds and she rubbed them on her legs . Feeling started to come back to them in a painful tingling feeling . Her blindfold was also removed, showing the tiny dimly lit room she was in . Even though it was only a bit of light, it was blinding to her after so long in the dark .
"Well Miss Dumont, it looks like our time together has unfortunately come to an end . We have made contact with someone interested in purchasing you, and we will be bringing you to them tomorrow . So please rest and enjoy your last evening with us . " After his last pleasant sounding words he closed the door . The light from the lantern he held went with him
The sound of men laughing raucously was transmitted, muffled through the door . The sound of their enjoyment felt like it deepened her despair .
'Jian . . ' Chang closed her eyes, wishing she could see him again . Just one last time .
Through the muffled door she could hear snippets of their conversations, but didn't think much of it . At least until she heard the topic come to her . She pricked her ears up and scooched closer so that she could hear them more clearly .
. . "All I'm saying is that we should get a chance to enjoy her too . . . It's not as if she's a virgin . . We won't leave marks on her that the client would see . . Who says we should only have a monetary reward . . "
Chang backed away from the door hands over her mouth . She couldn't bear to hear another word of what those vile men were saying .
Chang looked around for an escape, or even a weapon to save herself with .
There was only a bit of light in the room she was in, coming from the light under the door . Shadowy large boxes and bags surrounded her, cluttering the ground .
'There!'
In the back of the room, she saw a small glass pane almost to the ceiling, long and narrow . She couldn't see through it, so she couldn't be sure that it was an escape route, but it was better than anything else she saw .
Chang pulled her long tunic off herself, wrapping it around her fist and arm . She was only wearing that now, as with her hands died she had been unable to pull on her pants .
She shivered at the cold dank air and the thought of what those men wanted to do to her .
'Not without a fight!' Chang pushed one of the larger boxes to under where the pane was . Standing on it, she took a deep breath and punched through the glass . The cloth and the men's laughter covered up the small sound that it made . Fresh air instantly came through the little hole that she had made .
Chang's lips lifted in triumph at the smell .
She used her covered hand to quietly push the glass out so that it wouldn't fall in and shatter . Once the majority of it was out of the way, she laid her tunic on the edge a pushed herself through on her belly .
'Where there's a will there's a way, and I'll make my way . '
