Chapter 339: Panicked Killer

My eyes fluttered open, head aching, heart skipping a bit before it settled down into a more natural rhythm while I did my best to make sense of the foggy surfacing memories floating around in my sore noggin. The acutely acrid scent of chlorine assaulted my nose, warm, moist air making me choke a little. I tried to focus, something hard and damp under my cheek, my hand slipping over what felt like tile as I blinked at the edge of concrete rimming an impossibly blue pool of water.

I registered where I was as a shadow passed over me, stepping across my legs, his face appearing in my vision and speeding my heartrate as I fought to regain control of my spasming limbs. I'd had stun gun training, thanks to Dad. I'd even had one tested on me for a half-second so I'd know what it felt like, and it wasn't something I'd wanted to repeat. To render me unconscious? My attacker had to have held the gun to me forever.

Bastard.
