'Somehow I think I'll manage.'

And she kissed Maria, hugged her husband and slipped back into the heart of the party.

Chapter Forty-eight

And so the nightmare continued. Once more Brigette regained consciousness, and this time she found herself in a strange bed in a dark, unfamiliar room. The drapes were pulled tightly over the windows, and when she got unsteadily out of bed and tried the door, she discovered it was locked.

It came to her in a horrible flash - Carlo had kidnapped her.

She felt as if she were caught in the middle of some insane TV soap opera. This kind of thing didn't happen in real life, it simply didn't.

I will not panic, she told herself. I will stay calm and talk myself out of this mess.

But there was no one to talk to. Carlo was not around.

She got up and went to the window, pulling back the drapes. The window overlooked an alley and was probably ten or eleven storeys up, too dangerous to attempt an escape.

'Damn!' she muttered. Now her jaw hurt, too, where he'd hit her. Gingerly she opened and closed her mouth, finding that, fortunately, nothing seemed to be broken.

She returned to the door and tried it again. Still locked. She rattled the handle and yelled his name.

Nobody came.

After a while she went back to the bed and lay down. There was no point in using up all her energy. She felt like crying, but she didn't. She'd shed too many tears in the past to keep on repeating the same old pattern.

Instead she began chanting a mantra in her head.
