The woman with sses, showing herid-back demeanor, responded, “Sure thing.
I’ll dial them up pronto.
”
It appeared the woman was concerned about Nicole’s nerves as she activated the speakerphone, connecting to a seasoned operator on the other end.
“Hey there, Ardlens Police Department.
What’s the trouble?”
The woman with sses said, “Hi, I stumbled upon a wounded girl on the road, likely attacked.
She’s stranded.
Could you send some help?”
“Do you have a name?”
The woman with sses turned to Nicole, querying, “Miss, what’s your name?”
Nicole shared her name and exined, “Hey, someone kidnapped me.
He was a total stranger.
I got his te number…”
“Got it, sending an officer pronto.
Hang tight.
”
With the call wrapped up, Nicole’s tense demeanor eased a bit.
The woman with sses extended another invitation.
“Miss, why not hop into my car and chill for a bit? It’s pouring down hard, and your shoulder’s still bleeding.
Keep this up, you won’tst until the cops roll in…”
After the call, Nicole’s guard was down a notch with the woman.
Plus, the woman had just spelled her ID and name over to the operator.
Her name seemed to be Evelyn Quinn.
Nicole nodded.
“Alright.
”
Once in the car, Evelyn pulled out a towel from the passenger seat’s storage and offered it to Nicole.
“Here, wipe up.
You don’t wanna catch a cold.
”
“Thanks.
” Nicole epted the towel, dabbing at her face and wet locks.
Nicole coughed lightly.
She sneezed.
“Thanks a lot, Ms.
Quinn,” Nicole said, returning the towel politely.
“No problem.
” Evelyn tossed the towel onto the passenger seat and then lit a cigarette, leaning her elbow on the car window.
“I’ve just been chilling here waiting for you.

The rain outside drowned out Evelyn’s voice.
Nicole asked, “Sorry, what was that, Ms.
Quinn?”
Evelyn smiled, saying, “Oh, nothing.
”
Just then, Evelyn’s phone rang.
She smiled faintly, saying, “Qops, gotta take this.
”
Evelyn answered the call on Bluetooth, and Nicole could hear every word.
“Evelyn, damn it! That chick bolted…”
Nicole’s heart raced.
That voice…
Evelyn stayed cool, firing back, “I know.
You’re useless.
That chick’s with me now.
No payday for you, dumbass!”
“Damn, you’re slick!” The man on the other end sounded impressed.
Losing a target was a major screw-up in their line of work.
He’d rather get zilch than lose someone.
