"Let me go!" The woman to my right screamed. "You have absolutely no right to do this to me!" She cried out as she struggled against the strong men that had grabbed a hold of her arms and legs while they carried her towards a large, sleak, and black van. A young girl to my left was being carried to it as well. She wasn't screaming, though. She was sobbing and wailing as they loaded them in. That's when they came back for me.
