Alex and Andrei had a silent ride out of the city, their minds preoccupied with worry and urgency. The bustling cityscape gradually gave way to the serene countryside, and after about twenty minutes, they arrived at a sprawling ranch.

Despite the tranquility surrounding them, Alex and Andrei were far from at ease, as each passing minute made them feel like they were suffocating, and the serene landscape did little to calm their troubled thoughts.
