Amber
Mom, can you come and get me?
Mom
Are you still at Erica's?
Amber
No, I'm walking home.
Mom
I told you not to walk home from there. It's dangerous!
Amber
That's why I need a ride.
Mom
I just started making dinner.
Amber
Can it wait? I'm getting scared.
Amber
I don't know. I took a wrong turn.
Mom
Are there street lights?
Mom
Okay. Hang tight. I'm on my way.
Amber
I found some street lights
Amber
There's a bank and an ATM.
Mom
Okay, good. Stay there. Where is it?
Amber
I can't see the sign. Hold on.
Amber
It’s the Park City Bank.
Mom
How did you end up in Park City?!
Amber
I don’t know! I was walking for a while before I texted you.
Mom
Hold on. Let me pull over and figure out the fastest way to get to you.
Mom
Okay. Looks like there’s just one Park City Bank.
Mom
I’m heading over there now.
Amber
Can you hurry? I'm scared.
Mom
Do you still have that Mace in your purse?
Mom
Good. Take it out and have it ready. I'll be there soon.
Amber
I think there’s somebody watching me.
Mom
Just stay in the lights.
Amber
What if they come over here?
Mom
Find a wall so they can't sneak up behind you.
Amber
Mom, you need to hurry!
Amber
I'm hiding by the ATM.
Mom
Honey, I want you to run to the car right now.
Mom
I don’t think anyone else is here.
Mom
But in case someone is, I should stay in the car.
Mom
Why aren’t you running to the car?
Amber
I don't see your car.
Mom
I'm right here waiting. Can't you see me?
Amber
No. Can you come over here?
Amber
I dropped something.
Amber
Can you help me look for it?
Mom
How did you lose your wallet?
Mom
Do you still think someone is there?
Amber
No. But now I need to find my wallet.
Amber
Can you come over here?
Amber’s Mom gets out of her car and slowly starts walking toward the ATM.
Mom
Can’t you hear me calling?
Amber
By the ATM, like I said.
Mom
I’m right next to the ATM and I don’t see you! Wait–
Mom
I think I just heard somebody talking…
Mom
It was definitely a voice.
Amber
What did it sound like?
Mom
It sounded like a man talking.
Amber
I didn't hear anything.
Mom
There, I just heard him again.
Amber
I don't hear anything.
Mom
Just behind the hedges.
Mom
Well I do. Come on and let's go!
Amber’s mom dashes back to her car and quickly locks herself inside.
Mom
We'll get your wallet tomorrow.
Amber
I think I found it.
Mom
I see something moving in the hedges! Is that you?
Amber’s mom gets out of the car, thinking she sees her daughter.
Mom
Amber! Come here NOW!!!!!
The figure from the bushes is not Amber.
It’s a man wearing a ski mask.
And he’s carrying Amber’s phone.
He runs toward Amber’s mom and grabs her.
Then he pushes her toward the ATM.
Another man emerges with a gun and points it at her.
The first man speaks to Amber’s mom.
Man
Now give me your bank card and tell me your code.
Man
And you’d better have more money in your account than your daughter did.
Mom
Where is my daughter?!
Just then, two police officers leap over the wall and grab the two men.
A squad car pulls up, and two other officers force the men, now in handcuffs, into the back seat.
Amber’s mom addresses the officers.
Mom
My daughter! You need to find my daughter!!
Mom
There’s a van over there, behind the hedges!
The officers run over to the van, break into it and find Amber tied up and gagged.
After they untie her, she runs to her mother, and they embrace.
Amber
Mom, he took my phone after I got here!
Mom
He was pretending to be you.
Officer
It’s a good thing the surveillance cameras at the bank picked up suspicious activity.
Officer
We’ve been trying to catch these guys for a long time.
Officer
Their victims don’t usually end up alive.
Officer
You were both very, very lucky.
