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.” “That’s despicable! How could they keep targeting an elderly woman like this!”

Christine was livid, then quickly asked, “Where are you now? Does Gregory know about this? I’m coming to meet you right away!”

“Gregory’s clueless, caught up in some patent issue, hasn’t even checked his phone.”

As the car neared the location sent by the kidnappers, I spoke in brief, “I’m almost at the abandoned factory on the outskirts. You don’t need to come; I’m not alone, ran into Mark on the way here. He’s coming with me.”

“Mark? He’s in Vista Town?”

“Yes.”

The car slowly came to a stop, and glancing at the time, we were almost exactly on schedule, couldn’t afford another minute’s delay, “Chris, we’re here, gotta go!”

As Christine listened to the dial tone, she grabbed her car keys while hurriedly dialing another number.
