Addison awoke, sat up with a start, and realized she was screaming.

“What did you do to her, man?”

Her vision was skewed; around her all she could hear were voices she didn’t

recognize. Colors danced in front of her eyes, shapes and flashes of light came

into vision and disappeared again. Nothing had substance or seemed real.

“I just knocked her out. It shouldn’t be having this effect on her.”

That voice she knew: Holland. She shuddered as she remembered the feeling

of losing her will to stay awake. He had done that to her.

“Why did you knock her out to begin with?”

It was a man’s voice asking the questions, but not Spencer. She would do just

about anything to hear him right now. Even if he was yelling at her for coming

into the building without him, even that would be better than being alone and at the mercy of these people.

“Tara said she was Lewis crazed and that she needed to be brought here to be

satisfied or she might tell.”

“Hell.”

A cool washcloth touched her face, brushing against her eyes and a calm

feminine voice instructed her to be still. The colors still danced in front of her eyes and she would pay any amount to make them stop.

“Listen to me. I’m not who you think I am.”

“Who are you?” The male voice. At least it wasn’t hostile like that woman who

she now knew was Tara, who she would be making it her life mission to destroy if she ever got out of this situation.

“My name is Addison Wade.”

A hush fell over the room. She wasn’t surprised. Hers was not a name anyone

in their position would want to hear.

“Fuck.” The male voice that had been speaking to her said the curse on what

essentially amounted as a hiss. “Tara, Holland, you guys knocked out Addison-

frickin-Wade?”

“I came here with Spencer Lewis. He’s helping me find my nephew.”

“This is bad in so many ways.”

“I didn’t know.” Tara’s voice finally spoke. Addison wished she could deck the

horrid beast.

“I tried to tell you.”

“Here now.” The compress that had been on her eyes was removed and she

was relieved to see that things were coming more into focus. She blinked a few

times and could see the world around her.

She was in some kind of bedroom. Her assessment of the quad outside looking

like a college campus didn’t change inside the room. It screamed dormitory and

was maybe twelve by nineteen feet. If the size screamed college, the furniture was all institution.

The bed she lay on was white with an itchy black blanket and one pillow. The

bed had been made—hospital corners and all. There was one desk in the corner,

one fake wooden bookshelf and one small window that had a dark shade pulled

so she couldn’t see outside.

The whole place smelled like cigarettes and unwashed gym socks. She was also

pretty sure she picked up the distinctive smell of marijuana wafting through the room.

The man who stood in front of her was somewhere around thirty years of age.

Dark haired and brown eyed, he had a thin build. He wore black pants and a

black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his shoulders.
