A Battle Of Wits

As Zack and I speed down the highway, heading towards a safer location, I dial Chris's number. The phone rings a few times before he picks up.

"Kattie, what's going on?" 

Chris asks, concern evident in his voice.

"Chris, something really weird just happened." 

I say, trying to keep my voice steady. 

"What's going on? My guys spotted you and Zack driving out in a hurry."

"Someone sent me lunch to the salon, but it wasn't from Zack. He checked it out and thinks it might be poisoned. We had to leave immediately."

There's a brief pause before Chris responds, his tone serious. 

"Are you okay? Where are you now?"

"We're on the highway, heading home." 

I reply. 

"Zack's driving. He thinks someone might be watching me."

"Alright, listen to Zack and stay vigilant. Don't take any chances." 

Chris advises.
