Calling her editor she finds out that the girl is pregnant, the kidnapper is the girl s boyfriend and that they may be heading, as she is, to a small town in New Mexico.
She puts her holiday plans on hold to chase the story but as she stops for gas she gets caught up in a standoff at a gas station. If she survives she knows this will be the biggest scoop of her life.
