Chapter 573

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.

The map made it clear-they were headed in the opposite direction from the airport.

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

Her vision blurred, and darkness claimed her almost instantly.
