The next day, Darren had scheduled a meeting with Kayla for 12:00 PM at his office, which he had reserved in advance as a convenient and private location for their encounter.
Meanwhile, as Kayla drove into town, her car suddenly came to a halt in a secluded area.
Another vehicle had swerved in front of her, and a menacing figure emerged from the driver's seat. Wearing a hoodie and a mask that obscured his face.
Kayla's mind raced as she wondered who this mysterious figure was, but before she could react, he swiftly approached her car and commanded, 'Follow me.' His voice was low and authoritative
"Who do you think you are, blocking my path and barking orders?" Kayla demanded, her voice firm and confrontational.
"Identify yourself, or I'll have the police on you in seconds!" She held up her phone, her thumb hovering over the dial button, ready to summon help at a moment's notice.
