Were they stalking me or something?

Silence.
Can you hear me?
Repeated use of the same expressionless, toneless voice. Click. The phone call is now over.
Yes, I will confess that this frightened me quite a bit. The choice was decided in an instant on my part. I packed up my bag with the essentials, grabbed the phones, and sprinted to my vehicle. I closed the door and drove off down the street, keeping a close watch on the rearview mirror to make sure I wasn’t being followed.
