MADISON STRUGGLED AGAINST the cloth that bound her wrists, but her awkward position, with her hands behind her back and her knees drawn up and her ankles tied together didn’t give her any leverage.

She was in a car trunk. She knew that even without any light. The fluorescent emergency trunk release glowed in the dark, tantalizingly close but out of reach.

She remembered going into the kitchen for more coffee. Someone had grabbed her from behind. He’d put a sweet-smelling cloth over her nose and mouth. After that, everything went black. He must have somehow taken her out of her house, and put her in this car.

But who? Damon? Or someone else?

From the aches and pains in her back and hips, she knew she’d been in the trunk for quite some time. She shivered, the cold seeming to seep into her bones without the benefit of a coat. But she was thankful it was cold outside. If she’d been left in a car trunk in the heat of summer, she would have baked to death.

She strained against her bonds again, twisting and pulling, trying to get her hands up under her bottom and over her legs to get her hands in front of her. If she could do that, she could pull the trunk release and try to get away before her captor came back.

Several minutes later, she collapsed back against the carpeted trunk bottom, gasping in deep breaths of chilly air. No luck. She was still trussed up just as soundly as she’d been when she woke up.

How long could she survive in this trunk? If she didn’t die of hypothermia, she’d run out of air soon, wouldn’t she? Or were trunks not airtight these days? How many more minutes, or hours, of good air, did she have left?

God, please don’t let me die. Not like this.

If someone were near the car, would they hear her in the trunk? What if the man who’d taken her was standing outside? She couldn’t lie here and just do nothing. She had to take the chance that someone might hear her, and would help her.

She drew a deep breath and screamed.
