The address on the note was taking her out into the country. She had left the city behind, and with each move closer to her destination the fear in her grew. The car sat-nav told her she was nearing her destination, which looked to be the middle of nowhere. Green fields surrounded the dirt road the car now jostled down. The area looked like it once housed an industrial plant, the buildings dilapidated shells collapsed in and forgotten. The sky was slate gray, and rain was in the air. She was about to consider that she had come to the wrong place when she saw Reeves. He was standing by his car, an S class Mercedes. His coat flapped against his legs. He waited there, hands folded in front of him, watching for her. She pulled the car up next to his and got out. The wind was picking up, and whistling as it blew between the shells of the surrounding buildings.

Reeves checked his watch. "Just in time. You only had three minutes to spare."

Chrissy stood by her car, fighting the urge to run with each passing second.

"Are you alright?" Reeves asked, still as pleasant as ever. "You look pale."

"Where's Shawn?" she asked, unable to keep the tremor out of her voice.

"Ah, she speaks!" Reeves said, widening his grin. "For a second there I thought I would be fighting against the silent treatment. Don't worry, though, this is normal. The initial shock is the worst part of it.

"I don't understand any of this, why did you take my husband?"

Reeves thrust his hands into his pockets. "I thought you might have figured it out by now, Mrs. Sandoval."

She looked at him, too afraid to speak.

"This is all part of the program to rid you of your fear," Reeves said.

"I don't understand. I don't understand any of this. You took his hand...."

"Which has been dressed and patched up. Please, walk with me, Mrs. Sandoval. I assure you, I mean you no harm. Please, this way."

"I'll call the police unless you let him go."

"No, you won’t."

"You don't know that."

"Yes, I do, Mrs Sandoval. I've been doing this a long time. If you were going to call them, you would have done so already. Please, follow me."

Reeves walked away out of sight around the back of the building. Knowing he was right and she couldn't possibly call the police, she followed, matching pace with him as he walked.

"None of this has anything to do with my fear of heights. I...please don't do this."

"It has everything to do with it. I promised to help you." Reeves said.

"Then I change my mind. I want out."

Reeves stopped and looked at her. "You assured me you were committed. That you were certain."

"I didn't know you were going to do this. This...whatever this is. I'll even pay you, just give me Shawn back."

"No," Reeves said as he started walking again.

"What do you mean? You can’t do this. This is insane."

"I believe you can be cured, Mrs. Sandoval. That’s why we offered you a place on this program.
