Cara knew they’d come looking for her, but she didn’t think it would be this fast. She thought she'd have more time. But here she was, staring doom right in the face. She stood at the window, looking down at the mysterious vehicle. She was so tired of being afraid. So tired of running.
She took in a long, ragged breath. This was too much to bear. In that moment, as if to break the last bit of strength she had left, the crushing silence was broken. Her phone rang, piercing the quiet. “Unknown” was the only word that scrolled across the screen.
Instantly, Cara’s mind flew back to the first time she met Bradley, and her throat immediately began to clench as the memories flooded back to her.
She hit “ignore” and turned back to the window.
But the phone rang again. And again. And again.
