“Let’s go get Paige, Max,” he said, pushing the inflatable into the water. The dog answered with a short bark.

He put on his fins, adjusted his face mask, and slipped under the surface, clutching the tow rope. Going after his woman and prepared to die in the attempt.

Hoo-yah.

Chapter Eight

P aige sat in a chair in a large empty room. Most of the room was in darkness, the only illumination coming from the big ceiling light directly above her.

At one point it had been a propagation lab. The room still had trestle tables set up for the exacting work, but everything else was gone except for a few chairs. For the first half hour after they’d pushed her into this room and taped her to the chair, she’d desperately tried to free herself. But all she managed to do was tire herself out and make her headache worse.

Each time the iron legs of the chair scraped against the concrete floor, the sound echoed in the room. However hard she wrenched, the tape held. Wrists and ankles bound with duct tape, she was also bound to the chair, the tape wrapped around her waist, thighs, and shins.

In her desperate attempt to free herself, she’d almost tipped over. She stopped immediately. Being bound to a tipped over chair, unable to move, would be even worse than her current situation, not to mention the fact that if she fell wrong, she could knock herself out. Whatever was coming, she had to keep her wits about her to deal with it.

So she stilled and tried to reason her way out of this situation.

The problem was, she had so few data. She had an analytical mind, but it needed facts to work with.

Fact: Silvia had stumbled upon a terrible side effect of a GenPlant experiment. Paige knew that the company wasn’t a corrupt fly-by-night operation. It would halt the experiments immediately. But obviously someone in the company wasn’t so honourable and had hired goons to back him up in a rogue operation to keep the experiment going.

Fact: she had no idea who that was, though if she had to bet, her money would be on Jonathan Finder.

Fact: She had no idea what had happened to Silvia, or if she was even alive.

Fact: she had no idea what was going to happen to her.

Fact: Max would come for her. It wasn’t a wish, it was truth. Something about the past week they’d passed together had given her that certainty. He’d come for her as fast as he could, but he had no idea where she was. Now she regretted bitterly not talking to him about her worries over Silvia.

Why hadn’t she? He wasn’t a good-time boyfriend, there for laughter and sex, gone with the wind when there were problems. Everything she knew about him told her that.

She could have told him, and with hindsight should have told him, but… this past week had been so wonderful, so extraordinary, that she’d instinctively kept the world at bay to create a little bubble for them.
