Chapter 313

CARSON WAS GOING TO die.

She'd made the wrong choice and now she'd pay the price.

Ryan had no way to find her. She'd gone off on her own because she thought, once again, that she knew best. And she didn't. From the very beginning she'd dug her grave with no help from anyone and now she'd have to lie in it.

Her nose throbbed and her knee ached to the point she couldn't totally feel her foot. Her arms were rubbery after that climb. She held her hands out as the man behind her shoved her forward, through the metal halls of her prison. She could smell salt on the air and the tang of metal.

Survive the next minute that was her goal.

The man spat words she didn't understand then let go of her.

She took a step back and ran into the wall.

Did she dare run?

She had no idea where she was or which way would take her out of here. A single light lit the hall. It wasn't much to see with.
