"Welcome to the Outerbanks,
Paradise on Earth"

The black SUV drove past the sign and over the bridge. "About 5 more minutes until your destination, Miss. Luella." The Chauffeur, Todd, glanced back at me through the rear view mirror.

"Alright, and remember, we just sit long enough for my location to ping and then we get out of there." I drew a $100 bill from out of my bra and slipped it over the front seat. He sent me a nod, grabbing the money from my hand.

I rummaged through my purse to find some Xanax to calm my nerves. I've done a lot of crazy shit in my day, but this will be the biggest stunt I've ever pulled. Digging around my purse even more, I could only find 1. I took it quickly with a swig of bottled water. It'd help enough, for now.

Then soon enough we turned into a long circular driveway. I looked up at the large building. It was a solid white medical building. Not a lot of windows, but I would expect nothing less from a rehab facility after all.

I quickly unlocked my phone, checking to make sure my last known location showed up at the facility. Then I promptly shut my phone off and threw it in my purse. It was all too easy.

"Now let's get out of here, Todd."
