Chapter 16

• Hours passed, or at least it felt that way to Iris, as the cab sped through unfamiliar streets. Finally, the car slowed and pulled into a hidden area. The driver got out, and another man opened her door, dragging her out roughly.
• “Please, let me go,” Iris begged, struggling against his grip. The man laughed. “You’re not going anywhere.”They dragged her into an abandoned house, where a few other men were waiting. Iris’s mind raced, thinking of what to do.
• She needed to stay calm, to find a way out of this nightmare.“Why are you doing this?, what have I done? If it's money you want I can call my husband to give you the money you want but please don't kill me” she pleaded sobbing softly, trying to keep her voice steady. One of the men stepped forward, a cruel smile on his face.
