NARRATOR'S POV:
He pulled her out of the police station, his hands firm on her arms as he propelled her forward. She stumbled ahead of him, her weak legs struggling to keep up, until he pushed her into the prisoner compartment of the police car.
She felt a surge of fear as he strapped her into the seatbelt, his movements swift and efficient. Then, he reached for the handcuffs, clicking them into place around her wrists. She felt a jolt of panic as her arms were secured behind her back.
Before she could even process what was happening, he pushed something into her mouth. Her mind registered the familiar fabric, and she realized with a start that it was her own panties. A strip of duct tape was slapped over her mouth, securing the gag in place.
