With a loud bang, the door slammed shut again.

Veda took a deep breath and waited for a few minutes. When everything was quiet, she cautiously picked up the phone and asked, "Are you still there?"

"Yeah, Veda, you did great. There's definitely a McDonald's nearby; I saw it on the map. Soon, we'll split up with the police one team to catch the guy, and the other to rescue you. Just hang tight and stay calm, okay? Don't do anything that'll make him suspicious." Emily's voice on the other end was steady and reassuring.
