Samantha's POV

Grayson and I are in the audi and we are leading the pack. Ethan is trailing close behind in the suspected tracked car and Cameron behind him in a black Mercedes.

We are on our way to an unknown place in the opposite direction of our destination where we are going to drop off the bugged car. That way if the car really is being tracked Marcus and his men will be headed in the wrong direction. Ethan and Grayson are leaving their phones in the planted car just incase those are being tracked also. We decided that they will be using my phone to contact their mother and sister's protecter "Aaron". We are going to go to the store and pick up 3 phones so if we ever get split up we can contact each other which Grayson assured will never happen but he said and I quote

"We need to be prepared for the worst".

Grayson has been somewhat silent the past ten minutes as we drive down the long hilly road. The awkward tension is making me rethink my decision to ride with him but by his reaction to Cameron I am guessing that even if I wanted to ride with Cameron, Grayson would not allow it.

The sun is at its peak and wherever we are is really hot. So I am guessing somewhere on the West coast but Grayson refuses to tell me any details on where we are. I have been paying attention to every sign but so far no luck with any location hints.

After about an hour of driving Grayson pulls into a deserted gas station that is miles from anything. The small shop was sketchy as hell but I had to piss and I am not going to go on the side of the road.

"I really have to pee Grayson."

"Just hold it." He responds looking down to his phone with a concentrated expression.

"I am going to piss in this car if you don't let me go in there." I wine.

"Fine, fuck!" he sighs unbuckling his seatbelt.

"what are you doing?" I ask almost laughing.

"I'm coming with you obviously." He says as if I was oblivious.

"For what reason exactly?" I ask not understanding why i cant just run in and empty my bladder.

"I am not going to let you go in there by yourself, you could get raped or stabbed to death by some psycho." He says opening his door slightly.

"Dont joke about that." I say sternly not finding any humor in it. "Just let me piss." I say getting out of the car and running for the deserted store. I almost reach the dirty glass door but a hand grasps around my arm causing me to just up. Before i could react or even make a sound there was a hand over my mouth and I started to get dragged backward toward the back of the store. I scream as loud as I can and kick at the dirt but the person was too strong. A panic attack was beginning to form until I hear a familiar laugh and I am spun around to face my captor, Ethan.

"Gotcha!" He laughs nudging me.

"I hate you!" I yell laughing a little in relief.

"Grayson's right you know, you shouldn't go in there alone." he is very serious now and i don't want to fight him because if there is anymore stalling there will be my piss somewhere other than the toilet.

"Then let's go because I am going to pee myself!" I say running back to the front of the store with him close behind. He all of the sudden rushes in front of me and opens the door for me.

"Ladies first." He smiles and gestures for me to go through the door. I smile at how cute that action was and walk into the store.

I look around and see that it is empty and then see a worn out sign that read "restrooms" so I go right to it and kick the swinging door open with my foot. Ethan tries to enter after me but i push him back and laugh.

"You, wait out here." I say rushing into the filthy bathroom.

The stalls were disgusting and had dirt and grime all around the sink and toilet seat so I squat and do my business as fast as possible skipping the dirty sink knowing that i will just be adding more bacteria to my hands by touching it and looking at the empty soup dispenser i decide on hand sanitizer which is in the car.

I kick the door and open revealing a concentrated looking Ethan.

"wha-" He puts his finger up signaling for me to be quiet and i do so. He furrows his brows and then they raise.

"Let's go." He says grabbing my hand and dragging me out. I quickly grab a map from a display on our way out and stick it in my pocket.

Grayson and Cameron were outside of the "tracked" car, Ethan joining them but i decide on waiting in the Audi. I pull out the map i snatched and open it up. A red circle titled "You Are Here" was circling a section of the map.

Beaver Valley, Arizona

Arizona?

My home town is Forest Grove, Oregon How the hell did we get to Arizona?

I look up from my map in thought and see something in the corner of my eye. I divert my eyes toward the little store and see someone standing in the window. My stomach churns, something does not feel right. There was a man in the store window looking out with a look on his face that sent chills down my body and froze me in my seat.

Something does not feel right.
