For the second time in as many days, Jo awoke tied down in a strange place. She lay naked on a cold cement floor, but when she tried to move, she realised her hands were chained to a cement wall. She yanked at the chains but only managed to tire herself out.

Leaning her back against the wall, she pulled her legs up to her chest and looked around. She was being held in a large window-less, concrete room with bars on the door. It reminded her of the cages they held prisoners in.

Jo didn’t scream or cry. She remembered Roger coming up behind her in the bathroom. She didn’t know what happened after he told her they’d go. She hadn’t had the chance to tell him no.

Either he had locked her up or someone else had. But she was damn tired of it. So she’d wait until someone came to find out what was going on.

Jo dozed off but was shocked awake by the sound of the barred door slamming closed. She opened her eyes and looked warily at Roger.

“What’s going on, Roger?”

He shook his head from where he stood by the door. “Just precautions, Jo.”

“Precautions? You have me chained to a wall naked.”

He laughed bitterly. “Don’t like the accommodations?”

She looked up at him, confused. “What is wrong with you?”

“Me?” He laughed again. “You disappear for two days, come back with company, and try to contact me? Sure, I should have just strolled into your apartment and introduced myself. Maybe took a trip with your new friends.”

“Roger, you sent me there to them.”

He nodded. “And you obviously failed.”

She pulled at the chains. “Unchain me, please.”

“Why’d you call me, Jo? Was it to set me up? Am I your prize?”

“Unchain me, Roger!” she ordered through clenched teeth. “You know damn well I didn’t betray you.”

He shook his head. “I don’t know anything. I can only imagine what you’ve been doing with your new friends.” He nodded to the chains. “Why don’t you break them? Superhuman strength comes as part of the package, doesn’t it?”

“Come on!” she yelled.

He gave her the coldest look. “So what have you been up to, Jo?”

“Look at me. I am not a vampire.”

“And if you were, you’d tell me?” he asked calmly.

She pulled at the chains. “Unchain me now!”

“No.”

“What, you’re going to keep me chained here until I go crazy and try to take your blood?” she asked sarcastically.

“I could stake you in the heart and see if you burst into flames if you prefer.”

She yelled every obscenity she could think at him.

He just crossed his arms over his chest and leant against the bars. “Why don’t you tell me what happened once you left my apartment.”

“Why don’t you go to hell?” she threw back at him. This was unbelievable. First, Roger sent her to Nic, then he kidnapped and chained her, and now he had decided she betrayed him! If anyone had been betrayed, it had been her. She had enough. Once she was out of there, she was going on a long extended vacation—without men!

“You first, honey.
