Chapter One

Claudia held Chloë’s hand as they stepped out of the dingy, damp-smelling room into the light outside. Turns out they were just in a boarded up room, by the looks of things in somewhere like a hotel. There were wooden doors just like the one they’d stepped out of all down a corridor. Outside, the place looked relatively clean. Untouched. As if this place was still running, regardless of the fact that it was the end of the world.

“Are those people okay, do you think?” Chloë asked as the pair of them moved over to a staircase. At the bottom of the stairs, Claudia could hear voices. Laughter, even. Voices and laughter that didn’t sound like they belonged to Mike, Matt or Seth.

Which meant there were more people.

“Just keep hold of my hand,” Claudia said.

Chloë obliged. Probably didn’t need telling.

When the pair of them got to the bottom of the dark staircase, Claudia stopped by the metal door. The voices were definitely coming from the other side of this door.

This could be a trap. They could be in there, waiting for Claudia and her daughter to walk inside.

They could be toying with them, all along.

It was at that point that Claudia heard a woman’s voice. A woman’s laughter.

She froze for a second. If there was a woman laughing in there, then surely that meant that perhaps these men weren’t as bad as they’d first come across. Sure‌—‌Matt and Seth seemed like a creepy duo, but Mike looked like he had put them in line. Perhaps they were safe after all. Not that Claudia was ready to trust a new group again after what had happened with Ivan at the barracks. But just perhaps…‌

Claudia lowered the handle of the metal door and pulled it open.

“You keep hold of my hand,” Claudia repeated.

Chloë’s grip tightened even harder as the door opened.

In front of Claudia, there was a hotel reception area. A huge chandelier dangled down in the middle of the room, reminding Claudia of one she’d seen at a New York hotel on a family holiday with Pete. The lobby was lit with lamps, which were connected up to a prehistoric looking generator-like machine that constantly hummed.

And in the middle of the lobby area, silenced by their arrival, six people sat around an out-of-place dining table, like you’d find in a school canteen. Three of them Claudia recognised‌—‌Mike, Matt and Seth. But there were three others, too.

And one of them was a woman. Smiling. Sat alongside the men. She didn’t look bruised. She didn’t look violated. She looked…‌‌comfortable. This place…‌‌was it possible these men weren’t what they’d first appeared?

“Welcome,” Mike said, smile wide and eyes gleaming. “Let me introduce you to everyone. We’ve got Smith here‌—‌guy with the bald patch. Keith here with the spiky hair and big nose. Karen with the…‌‌well. The tits if you don’t mind me saying.”

Karen sighed and rolled her eyes. She shook her head as she stared at Claudia and Chloë. “You’ll get used to living with a bunch of men.
