M y mind drifted back to that hot summer day. The sun was beating down on the diner parking lot. I’d just waved goodbye to Sam and watched her drive away in her rental car, off to visit her relatives who lived nearby.

I breathed in a deep, refreshing breath.

It was time to enjoy my freedom, my first real taste of being in the great outdoors, all by myself. There was no one to tell me where to go or what to do.

Of course, I had a plan. I wasn’t that spontaneous, so I’d already written out my list of things to do. I had mapped out my route and gassed up the car, and I was all ready to head west.

As I fished through my purse to find the car keys, I noticed two men out of the corner of my eye. They were dressed in what looked like cosplay outfits. One of them wore a horse head mask over his head, and the other wore a pig mask.

The men were both tall, tan, and muscular, dressed in black pants and black T-shirts. Later, I would remember seeing a dragon tattoo peeking through the collar of the man with the pig mask. The other man had tattoos all along one of his arms: red heart with an arrow near his bicep, someone’s name written below it, and then some sort of tribal pattern that snaked down his arm, all the way to his wrist.

I stared at their masks for a moment but smiled at them despite how strange it may have seemed. I was in a fantastic mood, and it wasn’t difficult to give the universe the benefit of the doubt.

The men took a few steps toward me, and a frisson of apprehension shot through me. As a young, single woman, I felt a bit confused as to why the men were making a beeline toward me. But the smile never left my face.

“Hi,” I said cheerfully. “C—”

Before I could finish the sentence, one of the men lunged at me, and I noticed a black bag in his hands. The next second, the bag was over my head, tied shut, and I felt myself being dragged away from my car.

I remembered the way my blood turned cold. The shock that gripped my body and caused my keys and purse to fall.

A split second later, a surge of adrenaline rushed through my veins, and I kicked and shouted as loud as I could. I screamed and screamed against the fabric of the bag, but nothing stopped the men. Another second later, I was thrown into the back of a vehicle, and then someone came and bound my wrists together.

I kept crying out for help, but all I heard were the sound of doors being locked, ignition being started, and the vehicle driving off. I grasped and groped at whatever I could in the darkness, and I realized I’d been thrown into the back of a small van.

The road was smooth at first, and it seemed to go a long way.
