Claire struggled, but her hands were tied, and she couldn't fight back. Her vision blurred once again, and the world quickly faded into darkness.

Alexander frowned. "Wait, you can track her phone?" He leaned over, trying to get a peek at Matthew's screen.

Matthew smirked but didn't answer, his fingers still flying across his phone screen. Alexander huffed, not appreciating being left in the dark.
