Evans climbed into the driver's seat while Richard took the front passenger side. The engine roared to life, and the car slowly began moving forward with Alfonso following close behind, his own vehicle tailing them.
At some point during the drive, Richard reached over, popped open the glove compartment, and rummaged through it before pulling out a length of rope and a burlap bag. He turned toward the backseat, shifting to face Adeline.
"Come here," he ordered, reaching back and grabbing her arm.
He yanked her forward, twisting her into an uncomfortable position before beginning to tie her hands behind her back. The rough fibers of the rope bit into her wrists, but she remained silent, her face blank as if she were somewhere else entirely.
Once he finished, he grabbed the burlap bag and pulled it over her head.
