Chapter Ten

Britt dropped the phone not caring where it landed as he ran for the door. Not waiting for the elevator he took the stairs two at a time. His car tore out of the parking lot, skidding into the street. It wasn’t until he had the car straightened out that he found his cell phone that he left in the car had been smashed and knew it was by the caller. The man had everything planned.

He was five minutes from the towers. Britt decided he couldn’t risk the time to stop and find a phone to call the police. Maybe if he was lucky an officer would try to pull him over for speeding. He would pay any ticket. He just prayed he was in time. If he could get to Rachelle in time, he would never make her cry again.

Rachelle came wide awake wondering what time it was. Her body still claimed exhaustion, but between her restlessness and finally crying herself to sleep, it was not surprising. Reaching for the nightstand, it took her several seconds to find the watch her sister gave her on the unfamiliar surface. She fumbled and pressed the button. “Three-o-eight,” the cartoon voice said.

Three, Rachelle groaned, wishing she could believe it was in the afternoon. Before she had time to think anything else, she heard the faint sound of a foot pressing down into the carpet.

“Wh . . . ho’s there?” She knew the words were stupid. If there was someone in the room, they wouldn’t be answering. This is foolish, I’m scaring myself. It was just the sounds of the unfamiliar hotel. She waited, listening. When no sound came, she relaxed and her thoughts went to Britt.

The thought was hardly through her when she heard another sound. This one was closer, more distinct. Someone was in her room. She started to move when she felt something wet seep through the blanket. Rachelle rolled away but got tangled in the sheets. Fear filled her. She kicked and tried to scramble free, but a hand caught her hip and pulled her back. Her scream was cut off as her face was shoved into the mattress. In terror, she kicked her legs, but the blankets impeded her motion. A hand came down on the back of her neck with brutal force pushing her face deeper, cutting off more air. She fought to push back and gained an inch, enabling her to gulp in a lungful of air before a knee was rammed into her back. She went down.

Swinging her arms out did nothing, she couldn’t reach her attacker. She tried to shift under him but only got the knee ground harder into her back. It wasn’t until lights began to flash in her mind that she realized she was suffocating. With renewed effort, she fought back. Frantically, she grabbed the edge of the bed, then the desk and tried to pull herself forward.

A hand gripped her arm pulling it back, while the other hand kept the pressure on her neck.
