Chapter 20

She must survive. She just had to tell Weston when he comes over later that this was all Guinevere’s plan, then she could be saved. She was being ushered out. Once they left the tiny house, Stella realized they were on top of a large building. The dazzling sun was so bright that she couldn’t open her eyes. The sudden roar of propellers from above rattled her eardrums painfully. A few helicopters were circling the building, and Weston was inside one of them. She had wanted to look up, but the burly man beside her gripped the back of her neck and barked, “Stay still!” Stella gritted her and lowered her head obediently. She must stay calm, she must stay calm… She repeatedly chanted to herself on the inside that she must survive, she must survive… The wind raged. She staggered forward, being dragged on by the kidnapper.
