And so I said, great.

I'll move my car out of the way.

And I walk back to my car and I sit down and I watch her walk over to a man that she apparently was with.

and she says something to him and then gestures over to me and then walks back to her van and our eyes met.

I gave her a little thumbs up to signal that I was ready to go and I looked down for a moment to reset my GPS

While I'm doing so, I notice she's walking towards me now.

And so I roll my window down, and before I could even say anything, she shoves something through it and goes, please take this, and quickly walks away.

I'm confused because in my hand is this folded sticky note.

And I open it, and in this frantic, scribbled writing, I read the words, please help, call 911, going to Woods.

I felt my heart freeze and just drop into my stomach right away.

And the first thought that came to mind was, is she serious right now?

And before I could even have a second thought, I rolled up my window and I called 911.

While I was on the phone with the dispatcher, the man that she was with came up to my window, and he knocked on it, and he flashed me this sinister-ass smile that I will never forget, and he pointed at the pump screen, and I freaked out.

I just nodded my head, and I gave him a thumbs up, and I was trying to calm myself down and tell myself, pretend you're on the phone with a friend, he doesn't know anything, you're okay.

And I took that as my cue to get out of there.

I drove off of the lot, and there was a truck stop next door, and I found this little spot by two semi-trucks where I hid, and I had this view of them.

I gave every detail I could to the dispatcher, and I was trying to take these photos of them, but they were so far away, my fingers were shaking trying to zoom in.

And in that moment, I knew I didn't really have much time left until they would leave.

And so I asked the dispatcher if help was coming yet.

And there was just silence.
