It was 11:47 p.m. when Lara's phone rang. She frowned—unknown number. Against her better judgment, she answered.
"Ray is in danger," a distorted voice whispered. "Come to the old railway station. Alone."
Her heart pounded. Ray, her boyfriend, had been distant lately, always meeting his friends Jimmy, Mack, and Justin in secret. She had suspected something illegal, but Ray never confessed. Tonight, the fear in that voice was too real to ignore.
She grabbed her coat and rushed into the rain, not noticing the black car slowly trailing behind her.
