BRANCH MCCAULEY AWOKE to a blinding headache and a foggy mind. His moan came out muffled, and his mouth felt stuffed with something rough that tasted of sweat. He tried to put his hand to his head just above his ear where the pain seemed sharpest and found that his wrists were both tied. So were his feet. He lifted his head and squinted his eyes against the pain. The room was pitch black. He couldn't even see his toes. But he could tell he lay on a bed and someone had taken off his boots.

Dove. She had sent him a message, and when he had let himself into her room, he had been knocked unconscious. Must be her bed. Had she wielded the weapon that put him out? He lay spread-eagled, feeling decidedly stupid and damnably vulnerable.

The slight squeak of the doorknob turning brought up his head again. The pain was less sharp this time, but bad enough to his mind.

Led by the sound of the doorknob, he made out a tall, rectangular thread of light he assumed to be the door. When he tried to call out, the gag made it impossible. Only a faint garbled sound emerged.

The knob rattled as though the person trying to get in was growing impatient or angry. The soft rap of knuckles on wood followed.

"Dove?"

The voice was feminine and vaguely familiar. Branch jerked on his bonds, but they held firm.

"Dove?" The voice came again. "My name is Jenna. I'm a friend of Miguel's. Please, if you're in there, open the door."

Jenna! What in blue blazes was she doing here? Furious now, Branch thrashed about on the bed. He yanked so hard on the ropes binding his hands and feet that the bed lifted off the floor, making a thumping sound when it came back down.

"I hear you moving around in there." Jenna's voice came again through the door. "Are you hurt?"

Damned right I'm hurt.

"Listen, I'll. . ." Jenna's voice faded, then returned. "I'll come back later, all right? I truly am a friend. Please believe me."

Wait! Jenna, damn you, don't you go off and leave me here.

Silence.

Damn!
