Sienna did not answer the question, and she left.

Leanna held her new phone and heaved a sigh. She went to the backdoor with the men and looked at the car not far from her before she said, “Give me a minute. I don’t feel too good.”

The man was about to say something, but his friend stopped him. He told Leanna, “Go. We’ll wait for you.”
