After exchanging a few words with Maria, Selena put away her phone and glanced ahead. Through the rearview mirror, she noticed that the driver was unfamiliar-a face she didn't recognize at all. Her eyes flickered with suspicion, but she pretended to remain calm, playing with her phone while secretly sending a message to Braden.

Braden replied, "Got it."

Selena suppressed her rising anxiety and looked out the window, casually asking, "This doesn't seem like the route to the restaurant, does it?"

The driver replied, "There's roadwork ahead, ma'am. We had to take a detour."

"Oh, I see," she responded nonchalantly.

Then, trying to gauge the situation further, she asked, "Are you wearing cologne?"

The driver answered, "Yes, my girlfriend really likes this scent, so I've been using it." "Nice." Selena nodded.

As time passed, Selena started feeling an unsettling weakness spread through her body. Her mind grew hazy, and her movements became sluggish.
