LIGHT GRADUALLY BLOOMED AGAINST HER eyelids and she opened them slowly, feeling nauseated.
She seemed to be lying down but when she tried to get up, her arms and legs wouldn’t move. Where was she? Where was Ro? And what had Kendis yelled at her just before she blacked out?
Then she remembered seeing Montford and she stiffened. She turned her head and saw she was lying on a bed - somewhere. And not just lying there: apparently, she was tied to it! What the hell?!
She tried to call Kendis.
No answer.
But she could feel him! Why didn’t he answer?
She tried calling her mother - same problem. She could feel her but couldn’t contact her.
She began to get anxious. “Hey!” she called out, wincing when her head throbbed.
She heard a door opening, and raising up as far as she could, looked into the grinning face of Caine Montford.
