Excerpt:
The cab came to a stop some time later and she sat up. The world spun on its axis. The sound of bees buzzing filled her ears as she broke out in a cold sweat and she began to shake violently. Sabine tried in vain to make her body cooperate with her, but it was a no go. Her brain was muddled and nothing made sense anymore. Not even her body would oblige her and move. “Where am I?” Sabine whispered, licking her lips.
“The
lady is right here,” the cabbie said, opening the door. “She bleeding and
wearing next to nothing.”
A thread of
embarrassment slid through her, but as quickly as it
was there, it was gone. “Help me,” she croaked. The world around her was slowly
floating away.
No matter how much she tried to keep her eyes open,
she couldn’t gather the strength needed to do so. “I…can’t…go…back.” Unconsciousness,
blissful yet scary, drifted around her, cradling her into a void of
nothingness.
“No
you don’t, sweetheart.” A gruff voice called to her, drawing her out of the
darkness. “Come back to us.”
Sabine’s
eyes fluttered open, then shut again. She didn’t want to open her eyes. The
darkness was safe. It was comfortable
there. There was no pain. No cages. Freedom lurked in the darkness.
“Ambulance
is on the way,” another male said. His voice was an octave higher than the
penetrating baritone of the first man. “It’s our kidnapping victim.”
Congratulations, you
win the booby prize.
“Yeah
it is,” person one said. “When did you say that ambulance would be here?” In
the distance she could hear the warble of noise. Finally she could sleep. “Hey
now.” The man’s rough palm patted her cheek. “Wake up, sweetheart. Stay with
us.”
Sabine
groaned and turned away from him.
“They’re
both through and throughs, Stuart, and she’s lost a good amount of blood.”
So
man one did have a name. Stuart. His name was both sexy and bold, invoking
delicious images of the man holding her hand. When did he take my hand? How come I can’t remember how I got here?
“Damn
it,” he cursed. “If they don’t hurry their asses up, we’re going to lose our
victim. Call them back Kyle and tell them to double time it.”
Kyle.
His name was just as delectable as Stuart’s. I wonder what he looks like. A part of her was using anything she
could think of to stay right there, even though she could feel the darkness
surrounding her.
Sabine
groaned as she was jostled around. The prick of a needle in her arm caused her
to whimper. “Stop.” With a weak gesture she tried to push them away and a hand
appeared in hers, squeezing it.
“You
gave me a scare girl,” Stuart said close to her ear. “Stay with Kyle and I.
Don’t try going anywhere again.” What was
he talking about? “Is she ready?”
“Yes,
we’re loading her up now. Are you following?”
Sabine
half listened to the conversation around her, trying to stay with Stuart like
he asked her to do.
“I’m
riding with you. My partner will give you the escort.” The soft cushion she lay
on lifted up momentarily, jostling her around, then slid into something. In no
time they were rolling. “Sabine, we’re going to get you fixed up. I promise.”
She
muttered something and a sharp burning sensation raced up her arm, then
everything inside of her mellowed out, relaxing her completely. Oh hell yeah, that’s the good stuff.
Instead of fighting the darkness she went with it. It was light and peaceful.
The pain that radiated through her whole body relented and she could finally
breathe without feeling as though her chest was being squeezed to death. Just a little nap and then I’ll tell them
everything. The heavy darkness wrapped its tendrils around her and she fell
into the deepest sleep she’d had in weeks.
