Chapter 18

"Shit," I breathe and sit up, my mind racing with rushed thoughts.

My eyes take in my surroundings quickly. I am in a large dark container, and I can feel that the ground is padded. Survival mode is firing off in my brain. I reach down with my shaky hands and feel the metal cuffs on my ankles. I squeeze my eyes shut; my time here might be at its end.

The ground rumbles and slightly rocks back and forth. They are transporting me somewhere, the bastards. Swallowing, I take a steady breath. I wonder what is going through Jules's mind; I might never know. I feel my body, and I am in some tight bodysuit with wires running through it. My pulse is hammering now, wondering how long I was out.

"You're awake."

I hear Dolly suddenly beside me.

"Dolly," I say and feel for her.
