I repositioned my arms so that they were behind my back, blocking Richard from having access to them.

Richard sighed, as if I were disappointing him with a bad report card. “Jason, please come,” he called toward the door.

Jason opened the door and came bounding up to the edge of the mattress. “What’s up?”

“That depends on Mercy.” Richard said this to Jason, but he was looking directly at me. “Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, young lady. I’m sure Jason doesn’t want to restrain you any more than you want to be restrained. Am I right?”

I nodded. Yeah, you’re right, you psycho.

“I must additionally warn you that my hands can get rather shaky when I’m agitated,” Richard threatened. “I’d hate to have the tip of this needle break off under your skin, if you continue to upset me.”

“You don’t have to bully me,” I growled.

I pulled up my sleeve and turned my arm so that the crook of my elbow was exposed to Richard. I purposely chose the opposite arm than the one Joseph had used, in case any signs that I’d had my blood drawn lingered. What would Richard do to me if he found out that I’d been giving my blood to the VGO? I was starting to feel like a human pincushion. I wondered how much blood a person could donate in a given week without drying up like a mummy. At least Richard was only taking a small vial and not a whole bag like Joseph had . . . I hoped.

I was feeling strangely and unexpectedly optimistic as I thought of Joseph, though I had no reason to be given my dire circumstance. But I had to think of something positive, or else I would curl up in a ball and die right there. I figured a little delusion wouldn’t hurt if it would keep me going. I wanted to believe that Joseph had located Robert, who was now safely at home and launching a search party to find me. Serena was behind bars, too, and would never again be able to abuse her power to hurt Robert. Jason was on my side, too; he was actually a spy sent by vampires to keep an eye on the insane escapades of Richard and Maxine.

Okay, maybe I’d gone too far with my delusion about Jason. The way he was glowering down at me—no way was he on my side. He didn’t seem to be on Richard and Maxine’s side, either. No, Jason’s only allegiance was to money . . . which my maniac family had given him, so he actually was kind of on their side. On their side but not behind their cause, I reminded myself, just to stay positive.

I wished that I had permitted the VGO to microchip me like a pet. My current location was so absolutely random. Anyone looking for me would never, ever search for me in Napa. Why would they? I had no familial ties or acquaintances in the area, nor did I ever frequent the area to shop or go out to eat.
