Approaching the outskirts of town near the abandoned factory, Christine's call came through.

She was frantic, "Jane, you said Ramona's in trouble, what happened? Isn't she supposed to be in the nursing home?"

"Ramona's been kidnapped." My heart was pounding as I tried to keep it simple. "Looks like it's Dorothy and Pearl's scheme. They've told me to head to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town."
