Is Sanchez the son of the man who killed my parents? The son of the man I killed?
With trembling hands, I whisper before ending the call, “I’ll call you back.”
My phone slips out of my hands and falls at my feet. I feel like I’m in another world, like I’m in another nightmare.
“Are you okay?” Dan asks me.
I’m too stunned to answer for a moment. “You have to take me home, Dan. I have a huge problem.”
Dan remains silent at my remark and then finally replies, “You’ll be back at the Sky residence soon.”
I press my forehead against my window. Dan’s words stick in my mind.
“How do you know what dorm I’m staying at?”
“Tucker told me.”
Something in his attitude calls out to me, but everything is racing through my head.
Sanchez…my God. But that’s impossible.
“Where are we?” I ask as we drive through a huge forest. I’ve never been here before.
Dan still doesn’t answer me. Another bad feeling rises in me. The air is escaping from my lungs.
“Dan, what the hell are you playing at?! I have to get home immediately.”
The car stops with a squeal of tires. I think there’s an old cabin a few feet away but I’m not sure. Suddenly, I see someone approaching the car. A male figure that I quickly recognize.
Sanchez.
I sit still, petrified. I don’t understand what’s going on but my survival instinct is to move. A breath near my ear. A whisper from Dan.
“I don’t think you’re going home just yet.”
And then suddenly, darkness.
51. Revenge
Iris
Thirsty…I’m thirsty. So thirsty…my throat burns, the back of my head hurts so much…what is happening to me? Why don’t my eyelids open? What happened?
Slam.
A door that is brutally closed.
I’m choking…I’m choking…I’m trying to get air into my lungs, but again, my body won’t obey me!
I breathe in sharply and blink my eyes as I gradually regain consciousness.
What the…
It is dark in the room, very dark. There is a strong smell of dampness. My eyes are acclimating to the darkness. I raise my head and the back of my head hurts even more. Memories come back to me little by little, along with the pain.
I was hit!
The detective called me…Sanchez…Joe Nelson’s son…I was in Dan’s car that was supposed to take me home, but he hit me! Oh, my God!!!
