Matteo turned to look at her outfit. He almost gagged. 'What are you wearing?' he shrieked.

Laurel smirked. 'I thought you'd never ask. I got it from my abductor. He was planning to keep me in his house for a very long time. I couldn't allow that to happen."

Matteo's phone started ringing. He took one look at it and ignored it.

'Why aren't you picking?" she sounded suspicious. 'Is it that strange number?"

He nodded. 'It is. We have to get out of here or else they'd get us before we say Jack."

Laurel's blood turned cold as she tried to figure out a quick plan. 'Throw the phone away." she suddenly suggested and when Matteo gave her a disapproving look, she tried again. 'I know they are tracking you. You must not allow them to find me or they'd kill me."

'They look harmless to me." Matteo shrugged. He couldn't understand her restlessness. It was getting to him and he has to calm her down. 'I need you to tell me the whole story."
