Emma-Jane was sitting on the leather chair. A collar around her neck kept her attached to the wall and unable to escape as she had hoped. Despite talking the talk of making a run, along with Hayley, earlier in the day - the reality of the situation was that she was trapped and had no idea on how best to proceed. Chris was too careful, only letting one out at a time and securely attaching the collar to both them and the wall, ensuring that - even if they somehow managed to dispose of him, there was nowhere to go. On her lap was the book. As Emma was out, Hayley was back in the cage, weeping for both her work colleagues’ lost lives, the situation she found herself in, and - last but not least - being back, cramped up, in that too small cell. Chris had walked back to the other side of the chamber and was watching Emma with a burning intensity, waiting for her to start the chapter saved for her.

“It’s before the one Hayley just read,” he informed her. She didn’t move to find the page. She just stared down at the words on the front cover wishing she were able to do as it instructed; wishing she were able to not read it. She cast a glance at Hayley who was still crying, her head cranked at an awkward angle making it impossible to see her eyes but she didn’t need to. She could hear her.

She knew what she was about to read. She’d witnessed it firsthand. Surely the words couldn’t have been as bad as having to actually hear the poor girl screaming out as he set about working on her. She shook her head as the sounds replayed themselves in her head once more. “Is there a problem?” Chris asked. He raised an eyebrow. Emma-Jane looked at him with a look of pure hatred in her eyes. She wanted to swear at him. She even wanted to shout at him. Maybe even spit in his direction (not that it could have reached him from this distance)? She swallowed the hostile thoughts down in the knowledge they’d be her last actions if she did act upon them. There’s only so many times he’d stop himself from doing to her what he had done to the other poor girl.

“No problem,” she said, biting her tongue.

“Good. Well, then, when you’re ready. Begin.”

Emma-Jane took a breath and opened the book, flicking through to the relevant page. She tried her
