Phase Two

Monique

With the passing of two days, I managed to acquire a stolen phone and make contact with Anonymous, and he was able to get me a return ticket for this evening and lead police to Jared's address.

I have one less problem to worry about. Now onto the next. Getting back home.

I can't wait to go home and see him. Ryan.

When I land, I immediately inform Anonymous and head to my apartment, but before I can process a thing, I'm being dragged into an alley by a larger figure in a hoodie, and I panic, hitting the man until I'm being pinned to the wall with his hand over my mouth. "Stop squirming, and I'll let go." I nod aggressively, feeling my claustrophobia settle in.

When he lets go, I almost faint from relief—relief that it is not a rob-and-kill situation.
