Briony pulled out her phone and booked a flight.

Once her ticket was confirmed, she made two quick calls to tie up some loose ends at work.

When she finally looked up again, she realized the driver had taken a wrong turn.

"Excuse me, are you sure this is the right way?" she asked.

She reached for her phone to call the police, but suddenly a harsh, chemical odor filled the car.

She jerked upright and scanned the unfamiliar room.
