Carla sat in the university’s student center, indulging in a large chocolate shake. Chance had made sense last night, but there was no way she could go home and face her parents. Not now, at least.

“Miss?” A young woman shifted from one foot to the other.

Startled, her muscles tensed. “Yes?”

The girl handed Carla a folded note and dashed away. The slip of a girl was gone before Carla could push back her chair and chase after her. She glanced at the white envelope, and her hand trembled. The paper wobbled. Was it another curse? She couldn’t take much more. Holding food down had even become a chore.

She took another sip of her drink to delay reading the message, but the cool, chocolaty drink did nothing to calm her nerves. She sat up straight and checked out the remaining tables. Two guys were laughing at a corner table. Had they been there when she arrived? She couldn’t remember. Her mind had been on the curse, on the baby...on Chance.

A man who looked like a professor was on the phone, another guy with a hairy face was sipping coffee while reading a newspaper. No one seemed to notice her. Three girls huddled around a table, punching numbers in their calculator.

Convinced the sender of the note wasn’t nearby, Carla peeled open the note.

She read the neat handwriting. “I have a surprise for you. Meet me in the Campus Police parking lot.” It was signed, Chance.

“Aw.” She couldn’t help but smile. Her birthday wasn’t for another week, but perhaps he wanted to give her an early gift. She grabbed her half empty drink and headed to the parking lot, and then cut across the grass instead of taking the path. Giving up a good parking place might be dumb, but her swollen feet made walking farther than a few hundred yards uncomfortable.

Two minutes later she pulled into the mostly full police lot. Not seeing Chance’s car, she walked over to wooden bench and sat. The clear day and slight breeze lifted her spirits. She reread the note to make sure she hadn’t misunderstood. Wait a minute. How had Chance known she’d be at the food court? Had she mentioned something to the guard at the front desk? And why did Chance send a note instead of surprising her in person?

Then again, he knew she loved mystery and intrigue. Cars whipped down the street seemingly unaware they were driving past the police station at unlawful speeds. She tried to relax, but the questions zinging through her brain wouldn’t let her. Sunlight shot through the leaves and warmed her face. She closed her eyes for a moment, dreaming of what Chance had in mind. Carla shifted in her seat and a hand clasped over her mouth and nose. She moaned and struggled, and her hands flew to her attacker’s hands. Oh, shit. She needed air.

Carla tried to pry his fingers off her, but they didn’t budge. Her throat constricted and her vision blurred. Another surge of pain ripped through her as the sharp slice of knife dug into her back.
