They Are Here, Taken by Aliens book 1

Alex and Cynthia have been send out for a UFO sightings and although Cynthia was very excited about the idea, Alex was not.
It began somewhere on a long winding unlit country road; the clock on the dashboard reading 02.55 on the 9th of April. The hiss of the radio as the station signal faded in and out within the mountainous terrain that rendered it almost useless. Alex was very tired, and reproached herself for not booking into a motel for the night and driving back in the morning; that had been a severe error in judgement. The whole thing had been a gigantic waste of time, in her view at least.
