The trip was eerily silent except that once in a while, Daniel would start up a conversation with her, but when she doesn't respond, he keeps quiet in the end. So most of the journey was silent except that Natalie was hyper-aware of Daniel's hands on hers.
He took her hand in his and would not let go since the journey began, making it harder for her to think of an escape plan. If Daniel dared to lean closer, he could hear the sound of her heart pounding in her chest. Yes, she was as nervous as hell.
Natalie started a mental countdown, it was the only way for her not to break down and panic knowing that all of her plans had gone awry. Her gaze landed on the bulge behind Daniel's waistband knowing that was where he kept his guns - habits were hard to break. If only she could get her hands on that weapon, then it would be game over.
