The mission: Your story in London
My name is Ava Bell. I live in London, and last night I went out with some friends for drinks. When I woke up, I found myself inside this room! It’s locked!
I got your name and number off a piece of paper posted on the wall. It was written in red ink, circled, with the word “HELP” scratched into the wall. I can’t call you; I can only write to you. I don’t know who you are-but can you help me, please?!
