My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. I’m so thirsty. When I open my eyes again, I’m on a dirty floor in what looks like a former stable. The bottom half of my cage is wood, and the top is steel bars. Hay is in one corner, and I can smell the sharp, acrid stench of manure.

Sunlight streams in dust-filled beams, but I can’t move. Pain radiates through my body starting in the center of my chest and moving out through my limbs. I feel like I have a fever. My head burns and my muscles ache.

“Mace,” I whisper through my shredded throat.

It burns from my screaming, and I roll onto my back staring up at the dust-filled darkness where the high ceiling is located. Tears blur my vision, spilling over and down my cheeks. They mix with the dust coating my face, and when I close my eyes, they rush into my ears. Why did they keep me alive?

Rolling onto my side, I press my forhead against my upper arm. With my eyes closed I can see his navy ones looking back at me with so much love. My fingers curl, and I can feel his glossy dark waves around my hands at the nape of his neck. I can see his straight white teeth, and I can feel his thick, corded arms holding me so tight, keeping me safe, loving me. His baby… our baby… I’ll never have it.

“Please,” I moan through a broken sob. “Please kill me, too.”

“Stay with me, Jessa.” The quiet voice of Ella jolts me back to the present.

My heart speeds up, thudding against my chest. “Ella?” I whisper.

“I’m here. What happened? I can’t reach Mace. Where is he?”

A cramp hits my stomach, and I curl forward, holding my knees. My dress is shredded, and I’m completely unarmed. I can’t help wondering if I still had my gun, what would I do with it…

“Jessa?” Ella’s voice is softer, urging me to reply.

“He’s…” My eyes close, and I see him fighting.

I see the one man go down under the force of his fist. I see the other man ripping his Glock out of the holster under his arm. I see Mantanilla striding toward him, syringe in hand. I see my beautiful husband drop to one knee, still fighting, still trying to get to me as more men surround him, as they wrestle him to the balcony and shove him over the edge.

“Oh, god,” I break again. “He’s gone, Ella. They killed him.”

Silence fills the space around me. All I hear is the heavy noise of my breathing, my whimpers of pain. I’ve never felt such emptiness, the phrase repeating in my brain, It’s your fault…

“I don’t understand,” she says at last. “They couldn’t… not Mace.”

“I saw it.” I roll forward, resting my forhead on the back of my hand. “I saw him go over.”

“You’re still at the compound?”

“I’m in some kind of stable or barn. Oh!” My voice breaks as strong hands grip my upper arms, dragging me off the dirt floor.
