Dangerous Ringtone

Chapter 1

6:30 Am
RRRRRRRRING, RRRRRRRRRING. Jasmine's phone was obnoxiously loud as it rang across her house. "I'm coming, I'm coming, geez!!" Reaching her phone, she quickly answered to hear a robotic voice tell her, "Hello your daughter is being held hostage in Quebec, and we need 10,000 dollars to help her escape..." What? I don't even have a daughter!! Damn scam calls!! They waste my precious time, she thought. Grabbing her bag that contained her teaching plans, she ran out of the house. I'm going to be late!! Stopping for a moment at a small coffee shop to get a croissant and a latte, she continued on her way to Elmbrook Elementary School.

10:30 Am
Today had been a hard morning. It seemed like all the children were on a sugar high! Finally, the physical education teacher took them to do some exercise, and she could enjoy a well-needed break. Break? Enjoy? Sadly, no. Quarter grades were due in the next three days, so Jasmine had to finish grading many papers. And just next week, lesson plans were due! Suddenly a head popped in, it was Jenni, her best friend, the teacher from 1st grade.
"Heyyy, sis, I brought you some coffee!! What are you doing??"
"Oh you know just grading some papers, the regular. Are you done submitting the grades?" Jasmine asked.
"No not really, I am more of a last minute sort of person, ya know? Anyways, up for hanging out after we rid ourselves of these children?" Jasmine thought about it for a moment. A part of her really wanted to just stay home and grade, but she knew that she was well ahead, and could really use a night out. "Ok fine. You finally convinced me to exit my hellhole of an apartment, Jen!!"
"Yesssssss!! I am a winner!!!!!!" Jenni enthusiastically said. "Ok, ok, I got it!! Now kindly get out so that I can finish grading at least these papers before the nightmares come back," Jasmine playfully joked. "Yes, yes; I'm leaving!! Geez, such a workaholic..I swear" Jenni said under her breath as she left.
Peace, quiet, and, most importantly NO DISTRACTIONS . That was all she needed to concentrate and get this done. But only 2 minutes later.... RRRRRRRING, RRRRRRRING. "Omg!! Can I never have some peace and quiet around here??  All I want is to finish this, but noooo, not even that can happen, she thought angrily. But when she picked up the phone, she realized that the same number from earlier in the morning was calling. Wow, that's strange.. I'll just ignore it, she thought. But after she declined, it started ringing again!! Strange..I guess I better pick up, she thought. 
"Hello??"
"Why did you ignore our call earlier?? Do you not care about your daughter?" The strangely more human voice asked in a malicious tone.
Ok, what?? Why do they keep calling me? Is this someone's actual daughter in danger? This is getting more suspicious.. I think I should tell someone.
"Hello? Listen lady, if you don't pay in 3 days, you will never see your daughter again!!"
What?!! "Hello, helloo.." But the mysterious caller had already hung up.

7:00 pm
Jasmine was running around her apartment, trying to get ready for her night out. She was so stressed out, maybe because she hadn't gone out in such a while. When Jasmine broke off her long term relationship with her ex, James, 2 years ago, her social life also went down the drain. To heal, she threw herself in her job, and started going out less and less. Eventually she fully immersed herself in her job, and stayed home all night claiming, "I need to grade papers" or "make lesson plans." The only friend that stood by her was Jenni, as she saw her every day at work. Oh geez, its almost 7!! My makeup, makeup..okay...Finally, she got herself together, and met Jenni at the door, ready to go for a nice dinner.
"Hey you!! Ready for the funnest night you'll have??"Jenni playfully asked.
"Yes yes, okay..lets just go" she playfully responded. 15 minutes later, they arrived at Carlitas Mexican Restaurant, a favorite of theirs back in the day. Jasmine didn't know how to feel about being there. It brought so many memories back. But she resolved to store those memories and enjoy this time nice and calmly. Little did she know...who she was about to meet...
