GAS STATION
Elizabeth was at a gas station, fueling her car, when she noticed a two men in a car across from her.
They weren’t doing anything overtly suspicious—just there, but something about them unsettled her. She thought they were coming to get gas when she first noticed them following her.
But it wasn't the case. They hadn’t gone inside the convenience store or approached a pump. They were simply waiting.
She frowned. Maybe she was overthinking things.
Then her phone rang. The sudden sound made her jump, her pulse spiking for a moment. She fumbled for her phone and saw the name on the screen—Cole.
She exhaled, trying to steady herself before answering. “Hey, Cole.”
There was a pause. Then, “Why do you sound like you just ran a marathon to answer this call?” Cole asked.
