Chapter 32

Ruby

Little by little, Ruby rubbed her feet together to loosen the duct tape on her ankles. She'd purposefully wrapped it looser than her abductor would, but the damn sticky tape was harder to remove than she'd imagined. Last time she got out of duct tape had been one of Tommy's random mockups after watching a movie about terrorists kidnapping a mother and child. But that had been six years ago. The binding strapping her wrists together was no big deal; she'd get out of it in a second. Still, she'd rather spend her time prepping to fight, not wrestling with tape. Besides, her assassin might realize she was free if she kicked her legs in the right angle to get the momentum needed to break her constraints. She wanted him surprised and unconscious first.
