Shit!

A banging headache announced itself the moment Nori came to. Her eyes slowly cracked open, but she was too exhausted to open them fully. 

Deciding to leave them partly open, she lifted her head ever so slightly and gazed at the people present with her in the room. She could hear muffled whispers of words she couldn't make meaning of at that time. 

That was the third time she was waking up, after having passed out twice before.

The first time, it happened in the van while struggling with the person who taped her mouth. 

Immediately after the tape was placed over her lips in the van, she moved her hand to peel it off, but whoever it was that had taped her mouth, caught her hands before she could do that. Out of instinct, she turned her head to see who it was and realized it was another stranger, a man this time.
