Chapter Seven

She could feel each slow, heavy beat of her heart. It was bizarre. Maybe she was dreaming. She had to be dreaming. She was cornered again, in the locker room, and she couldn’t see the face of the man advancing on her. Just like the last time.

It was dark and she darted around him. She could hide. She was fast.

But every time she got away and hid, he found her again. Could he hear her heart beating?

Cruel hands closed over her arms and jerked her out from behind the row of chairs where she had hidden, then pinned her body between his and the concrete column behind her. Concrete column? Since when were there concrete columns in the locker room? Her brain shut down—none of the moves she had spent hours practicing came to mind and she couldn’t escape.

God, it was her worst nightmare, all over again, she was trapped and she was helpless.

Whimpering in fear, she swung her arm. The keys were in her hand. Swiping them down his face, she shoved him back and stumbled out of the dojo, blood staining her hands. Then, before she could so much as blink, she was barreling down the Gene Snyder again and he was on the motorcycle behind her.

“Help me,” she whispered. There was nobody close enough to hear, even if there were, would anybody help? They hadn’t last time.

The powerful roar of the bike blasted in her ears and she looked over. Only she knew this face. Jeff. The bloody scrapes below his muddy brown eyes seemed to grow larger and bloodier as she stared into Jeff’s angry eyes.

“Jeff?” she whispered. But he was dead.

Wasn’t he?

He aimed his bike for her, and she panicked, slamming on the brakes. He did the same, following her every move in an eerie shadow dance.

“Go away,” she pleaded.

His bike seemed to grow larger and she screamed when he rammed into her a second time.

Her car started to spin but she jerked it under control, searching for an escape route.

She didn’t recognize the exit that loomed in front of her. It should have been Stonestreet, but it wasn’t. It didn’t matter. She had to get away. Just as she started to veer her car away, Jeff appeared on her other side, blocking her. “Jeff,” she whimpered. She cursed under her breath but her whisper turned into a scream when the motorcycle spun out of control.

She sat straight up in bed, screaming, the image of Jeff’s bloodied, battered face still crowding her vision.

“Andi.” The voice was familiar, but rough and angry.

She cowered away from the hands that reached for her, confused, in the dark again. Back at the dojo? Had she ever gotten away?

“Andi!”

Hard hands gripped her arms and shook her.

And then, as suddenly as it came, the dream left her and she sat staring up into Jamie’s shadowed, bewildered face.

“Oh, God,” she whispered. Then she collapsed against his chest, sobbing.
