That night, Sloan Richardson couldn’t breathe. She woke up, tried to open her mouth, tried to understand why she couldn’t sit up.

A hand covered her mouth. The hand held her tightly.

Inhaling through her nose, she smelled the sweet scent of leather. A heavy weight pressed down on her chest.

What the fuck?

She kicked upward and then sideways, attempting to curl into a ball that would make restraining her more difficult, but only a moment later, she couldn’t move. There were too many of them.

Several men, at least. She couldn’t see well in the darkness of her bedroom. They moved around her, held her.

No, no, no!

They were going to rape her. All of them. One after the other. They had the power to pull her legs apart. She could do nothing. Nothing at all. And when they were finished with her, what then? Would they kill her?

She struggled again, tried to move, tried to kick. Now she tried to scream.

But it was no use.

She grew calm and tried to think. About what got her to a place where men invaded her home and held her on her bed half-naked. Living in a nearly abandoned building—her mother had warned her against this very thing. She’d been stubborn, arrogant, ignorant.

Yet what she expected didn’t happen. Her breasts were exposed, but none of the men had touched them. At first she didn’t know why.

Then they brought her into a sitting position and put a black cloth over her head that covered her torso.

No!

A third time she struggled, but they held her tightly. She could feel the size of their hands and sense their strength. She gave up and was quiet.

They spoke in low voices about removing all her furniture and personal belongings and loading them into a truck on the street below. One man said, “Thirty minutes.” This man seemed to be the leader, and she thought his accent was foreign.

A hard metal object rammed into the side of her head, and everything went blank.
