It's Layla, Her designer sunglasses perch precariously on her nose, and her new luggage trails behind her as she scans the crowd, searching for any sign of her flight deployment.

Layla's mind races, her heart pounding in her chest.

Her eyes dart around nervously, searching for any sign of pursuit. Beads of sweat glisten on her brow - she knows that time is of the essence.
