My lungs burned. A long, ceaseless scream
reverberated against the walls of my wheel-based prison. Within a bent arm’s
reach was every corner of the trunk’s interior—a space so confined I would
have killed for the chance to stretch out my legs for a second. The
claustrophobia summoned from breathing the same uncirculated air had
become suffocating, inducing a kind of panic that tied my stomach in knots.
Every corner the vehicle took sent me rolling into a new wall of its trunk’s
interior, making it seem like the space was encroaching on me with each curve
in the road. I felt as though I’d been bound and locked in that mobile prison
for hours, my limbs cramped and throat raw. But surely it hadn’t been
anywhere near as long as it’d felt. In fact, not so long ago, I was having a
perfectly boring Tuesday.
The spring sun had risen and set along the skyline without a hitch. All the
while, I’d avoided any undue attention from my dear old Johnny. I’d left the
Roufe mansion for a little time alone, hoping it would be the icing on the cake
that was a refreshingly peaceful day.
Venturing downtown, I was positive that nobody in the city of Creswell
would mess with Leanne Cowitz, the future wife of Creswell’s most notorious
crime lord. For that reason, it didn’t feel necessary to call for an entourage, and
I’d strolled the streets with no more than my cell and a smile.
Little did I know that trusting my reputation would be the catalyst for my
downfall.
The Roufes were renowned in Creswell for being at the top of its
organized crime ring. That made them like gods among men in a city ruled by
crime, but it also meant they had plenty of rivals. Everyone wanted a piece of
what they had, and it wasn’t limited to Creswell—the outlying tri-cities had
rings of their own clamoring for Creswell’s treasures.
Being Johnny Roufe’s number one bitch came with plenty of those
treasures, but it was also exactly what put a target on my back and got me
stuffed into the trunk of a rival Mafioso’s Cadillac.
Now, we were speeding down a progressively windy road and I was merely
a passenger for the ride. With each twisting turn and jarring pothole, it became
increasingly obvious where we were headed.
There’s only one place near
Creswell with such chaotic terrain where a criminal would take a hostage like
me—the forest on the outskirts of town, a location where teenagers ventured
to get away with delinquency and criminals went to get away with homicide.
Out there, nobody would hear me scream.
The man who’d kidnapped me definitely planned to murder and bury me
in the woods. Even my overly optimistic convictions could admit to that
obvious truth.
