Bridget paced nervously across the living room, her mind a whirlwind of anxiety.

Suddenly, her phone rang. To her surprise, it was a video call from Fanny.

After a moment's hesitation, Bridget answered.

Fanny's face filled the screen, smeared with dirt and looking completely disheveled. She was driving, her face close to the phone, wild red eyes glaring into the camera. Bridget instinctively took a step back from the screen.

"Bridget, my parents are sending me abroad! Please, you have to talk to Mr. Rupert for me. Ask him to help my family! I'm begging you!"
