INTRODUCTION

Abbie is a cyber-security specialist who loves being the girl-in-the-(swivel)-chair. It feels safe and comfortable.

But she feels neither when she crawls out of a car wreck in the middle of nowhere, unable to recall the last five years of her life. She has a mysterious message on her phone and a timer counting down to Lord-knows-what.

Also, there's an unconscious man in the car, carrying an ID card which calls him Elias.

Just when things can't get any weirder, a man shows up with a gun, hell-bent on killing both of them. In a split second, Abbie abandons Elias to save her life.

But shivering in the middle of the road in a stolen car, Abbie must make a choice. She can either drive away, never knowing what the timer counts down to, or risk her life to save Elias, who could have all the answers.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This story is my entry for the Open Novella Contest 2021 and is based on Prompt 54.

I've been wanting to write a thriller with lots of technology, action and car chases for some time now. I loved every piece of this story and I hope it is the same for you.

Thank you so much for reading my work. And if you enjoy the chapters don't forget to leave me a vote.
