recognize him. I don’t recognize this place . He’s huge, covered in tattoos, his head shaved. He knows me, though.
     
    “Tell me, Zane. What could you possibly have been thinking? First, you kill a client. That could have been covered up for you. Things could have been okay. But then you took an asset. Not just any asset either, but Willow, the most valuable asset that particular house possessed. As if we would not find you. As if you wouldn’t pay.”
     
    “Do what you need to do. Just leave her alone.”
     
    He laughs, a frightening laugh, the sort of laugh people laugh in movies before they stab you. “Oh, no, Zane. We will do what we need to do. But she will not be left alone. In fact, she looks like she’s something special to you. I am going to enjoy myself with her. She will earn back what we paid for her – and you will watch. After that’s done, I will personally be honored to kill you both.”
     
    I’m not afraid of him. I’m not afraid of dying. I am afraid for her, though. I watch him. I may have to bide my time, but I will stop him from touching her. Somehow.
     
    “What do you want from me now?”
     
    “I want you to explain what you were thinking. And I want you to come up with a plan to earn back the money you lost us.”
     
    “There are other girls. They can-”
     
    He cuts me off. “No. The other girls cannot. She has outstanding bids. She will return, and she will honor them.”
     
    “Fine. But allow me to return with her.”
     
    He looks at me warily. “And why would I allow that?”
     
    “She trusts me. If there is any way to get her to go back, to get her to do what you want, you need me. When she pays her debt, you can keep her there to earn back what she owes. And kill me. But let me go with her.”
     
    He considers. I have to hope I was convincing. Fortunately, it really doesn’t matter, because although they could force her, I’m right. It will be easier if I help. She isn’t going to want to do it, but she will fight back without me there. And that could end with her dead.
     
    He’s not happy, but he leads me to the room where they have her. She’s chained to the bed, metal restraints in the walls holding her arms, and the chains linked to the bed frame for her feet. They have her naked and spread eagle, and I worry that they’ve touched her.
     
    The other man pushes me into the room. “We’ll come for you eventually. We still have questions. Convince her. I don’t care how. After you’re done, feel free to fuck her. That’s a sweet pussy. I can see why she cost so much. I’m looking forward to it myself.”
     
    He slams the metal door behind me. Rage tightens my muscles, but there is nothing I can do right now, and Nichole needs me.
     
    I sit beside her. She turns to me, her face bruised. Those fucking assholes. I will kill them all . I can’t believe they hit her. She’s not going to be much use to them, if they think they’re bringing her back to earn her bids, since she’s already sporting a black eye.
     
    Tears spill down her face. “I’m sorry,” she says.
     
    “Shhh, baby,” I whisper, and do my best to hold her, even with the restraints. “Why?”
     
    “They touched me, Zane. That’s all, but I’m yours. I don’t want their hands there.”
     
    My conviction that they need to die grows. “It’s okay, baby. We’ll get out of here.”
     
    “How?”
     
    “I don’t know, but I’ll protect you. I promise.”

    …
    I’m happy he’s here. This time, I saw where they brought us, but it doesn’t matter. We’re in an abandoned warehouse outside the city that they’ve renovated as some kind of, ironically, safe house. I don’t think they care that I could identify them, as I’m pretty sure I’m not expected to live very long.
     
    “They’re going to kill us,” I say to Zane.
     
    “No. Well, not yet. They want us to go back. They want you to earn back what you should have brought in. After that… well,
