Fine, you dumbass. Head to the base. Evelyn hung up, ignoring Nicoles shock. She smirked. Well, still hanging in there, huh?
Nicole realized shed jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
Evelyn seemed harmless and even helped her report to the cops. Who knew she was a crook in disguise too!
Who Who the hell told you to do this? Nicole demanded, her voice trembling with shock. But before she could finish her question, her body betrayed her, collapsing like a sack of potatoes. She realized there was something off about the towel shed just used.

Evelyn watched Nicole pass out and chuckled. You held out longer than most, But its all the same in the end.
With a smirk, she started the car and drove off.
Nicole had no idea how long shed been out. When she came to, she was in a dingy wooden shack. It was cramped and looked Like some makeshift hideout.

The man glared at her with malice. You still think you deserve to live? Youd be better off sold to a place where death would be a mercy, he sneered.
Terrified, Nicole inquired, What kind of place is that?
