A dark figure emerged from the bushy shadows beside her.
Marilee didn’t see him fully until he had grabbed her. She struggled, but with
one strong arm around her, lifting her from her feet and the other hand
covering her mouth to prevent her screaming, there was little her flailing
hands and arms could do.
Shoved into the car, the man lay across her in the back
seat, his sheer mass holding her still. The door slammed shut, and moments
later the car drove off. The entire abduction had taken only seconds, and
Marilee knew there’d been no witnesses.
These had to be Tony’s men; no one else had reason to take
her prisoner. She didn’t think a random mugging would have been handled like
this; at least not in any of the books she’d ever read, but then, books weren’t
reality.
Her reality now was a nightmare, Tony’s men or not. She knew
she’d be killed; she’d never again see Richard or Derrek. Tears sprang to her
eyes, and she fought to hold them back. (From A Heart Full of Diamonds, by A M Jenner) Read more here.
