Chapter 138

• Brandi
• Some hours later, the car turns off a smooth road up a rocky path. This must mean we’re almost there. I don’t know how long it’s been, but it feels like it’s been three hours since I first woke up. Okay, it’s now or never. I try again, this time wiggling my fingers on my right hand and they move. I try my left and which works after the second try.
• “eek.” I shriek in joy but quickly cover my mouth, not wanting him to know that I’m awake. I take a deep breath to calm myself. Okay, now I need to see if my feet can. I ease up on my elbow and wiggle my toes on each foot, lifting git slightly off the seat. Once I realize they are both fine, I settle back down to think. I can’t attack him while he’s driving and put me and the babies in danger. I’ll have to wait until the car stops to make a move, but even then, what am I going to do? If only I had my gun or some weapon. I wonder if he has any weapons in the car. I reach down and feel around the floor, but there is nothing. The car meets a smooth road and for the first time since I open my eyes, I see artificial light. I hear the sound of a metal gate open before the car goes up a slight hill and comes to a stop.
