Blood Donor IRP Q1

In "Blood Donor", we're introduced to our main character Jo. The story starts off in a bit of a rush at first since she's trying to get home just a few minutes away from curfew. Her father wasn't very fond of her being late, so Jo ends up having to sleep outside or to find somewhere else until her fathers calmed down. Doing this, Jo finds a bus station, where she then tries to sleep, but gets interrupted by a woman who gives her a business card asking if she needs somewhere to sleep for a bit. Jo's very hesitant at first, but she eventually ends up slowly getting into the car. She starts to feel dizzy, and next thing you know, she ends up in a room with 4 other girls. Jo finds out she's been kidnapped, and what's scarier is what she's been kidnapped for. Her Blood.
