- I'm Grace but if you like call me Gracie, everyone calls me that... - she smiles at me.
- Hello Gracie, my name is Sasha...
I just smile at him.
An older man passes by us. The white gray hair adorns his hair. He wears a tuxedo that looks very expensive.
His face is tired, holding a small microphone tightly while he listens to other men's explanations. They give him a sheet of paper, he reads it carefully and then looks at all of us. He nods his head until another man tells him it is time.
- What is this Gracie...? - says the brunette almost crying.
I take her hand and caress her.
- Don't cry. Don't show them weakness. I don't know what the hell is going on, I don't know what all these young women are doing here, including us. I don't know what they're going to do to us but whatever you do when they take you away you shouldn't scream or resist, they can hurt you if you do, especially you shouldn't run, don't even try because otherwise they'll kill you.
- They'll kill us all anyway! - shouts the redhead on our side.
I look at it in confusion.
- You should not listen to her. She is in shock, she is very devoted and must be more than scared, we all are... - whispers Sasha in low voice so that it is only me who listens to him.
Seat with sorrow.
- You will see that I will escape! – complains the same girl - God please have mercy on me! Mom, Dad! I have to get out of here! Please! I have to escape!
- You mustn't do that, they can kill you! - says the brunette.
- Silence! - shouts an angry guard.
They all cry even more. Sasha looks at me with fear, that's why I take her hand again and smile at her, showing her confidence and at the same time, comfort...
Then we wait carefully for what is going to happen. Several provocatively dressed girls come out with trays carrying several glasses of wine.
I look carefully at what happens, these disappear between the big curtain, that means we are behind a stage.
That's when all the noise stops, until we hear loud footsteps on the platform.
- Good evening to all those present. Today we have brought you a variety of girls, beautiful girls as you will see in a few seconds. Ladies of all ages, each from different countries showing the beauty of each place, one for each country. The most beautiful of each country. Remember that after each sale you can pick up your purchase by depositing the corresponding amount when you leave the place, the amount is of course, o be paid in cash. Having said that, I wish all of you a happy evening and without further ado, let the sale begin!
All of them let out cries of fear but not much happens until men shut them up.
One by one they come out. One by one they are auctioned. One by one they are bought. One by one it is taken by their new "owner". One by one it goes...
There were very few of us left including me, Sasha and the redhead who never stopped praying and crying. The poor thing has suffered some disorder in her mind, she cannot believe what is happening to her.
I don't deny it, I want to cry.
Then it is the turn of the redhead, she is shouting and stubbornly struggling as she is brought on stage.
- French, years old, ginger, tall, thin and virgin - says the microphone holder.
You can hear the girl's screams and sobs. It is then that we hear the following:
- Shit is getting away, get her!
I open my eyes in amazement, but the real drama begins… when a shot is fired. Everything goes completely silent.
I breathe with difficulty imagining what they have done to the poor woman.
