I need you to come get me now. It''s dangerous here."Allison''s voice crackles through the phone, filled with concern. "Mia, I''m on my way. Stay inside and lock all the doors and windows. Don''t let anyone in, no matter what."Mia follows her sister''s instructions, securing every entry point to the apartment. She clutches her phone tightly, desperately awaiting Allison''s arrival.
