Elio and I look at each other.

I look back at Liam.

I know that Elio’s waiting on me to respond, but the answer is the easiest fucking thing I’ve done in a long time.

I nod. My mouth opens.

And without hesitation, I decide.

“Let’s go get her.”

31

GIA

In all the places that I’ve been kidnapped lately, this one is definitely my least favorite.

It’s so fucking hot that I think I’m going to explode.

True to form, though, as Dr. O’Malley predicted, the severe morning sickness is diminishing. I can actually function, get around, and after about a day, Benicio’s doctor who has been taking care of me takes me off of the IV fluids.

It’s great.

What’s not so great, however, is the fact that I’m a prisoner in this giant, hot house with no air conditioning.

Benicio hasn’t been here since my arrival. I’ve seen the doctor twice, then after the IV ended, I haven’t seen him either.

Since then, for the last few days, I’ve been completely alone.

Someday, I’m going to get kidnapped in New York City, or Los Angeles, or somewhere cool.

Bora Bora.

Tahiti.

Somewhere that I’m not so miserably bored the entire time.

The house is clearly set up for captivity.

There’s food that shows up every day. The house gets cleaned, except for the room that the doctor showed me to after he released me from the hospital bed that’s in yet another room.

It’s on the third day, during a shower, that something catches my eye.

There’s a hair in the shower that’s not mine.

I lean closer, picking it up off the bottom of the wall next to the floor. I hold it up like it’s some kind of evidence and I’m at a crime scene, and I look at it in the light.

Despite the fact that it’s super weird, and that I normally would be completely grossed out at the fact that someone else’s hair is in the shower with me, this time, I’m a little excited about it.

Because it means something really important.

I’m not alone. Well, I’m less alone than I was before. Because while I knew about the guards, and I knew about the doctor and Benicio himself, there’s an element that I didn’t know about in the beginning.

There’s another woman here.

Someone who might be sympathetic to my cause.

Someone who might be able to help me get the hell out of here.
