to her, girl-to-girl.”
     
    “Girl-to-girl?”
     
    Francesca slid something from her purse. There was a brief silence before lascivious and cruel chuckles slid through the air. Sickness crawled down Miranda's spine and she resisted the urge to vomit. She didn't even know what Francesca held, but judging by the sounds the men made, it wasn't polite.
     
    Miranda's stomach churned as one of the men snickered, “Well, whatever you do to her, you can do with us present.”
     
    “Yeah!”
     
    Tears burned at the back of her eyes. Was she going to be touched with these two watching? Baldie had made some unspoken promises of what would happen should Tyler not appear. Until now, her hope had numbed the fear and disgust. Now, terror hit her full in the gut, making her stomach churn wildly.
     
    “Get out,” Francesca growled. “This is between me and the puta .”
     
    The two men, taken aback by her sudden venom, shuffled awkwardly. They made some paper-thin excuses, before bumbling off in the dark, taking their flashlight with them. Their heels scuffed the cement, as if they were dawdling in an attempt to catch a glimpse. Miranda got the impression Francesca watched them go with silent disdain.
     
    A flare of light, a hiss of fire, and the scent of phosphor tickled the air. For a brief second, Francesca's face graced her sight, a cigarette dangling from her lip and a burning match pinched between her fingers. It wasn't her face that scared Miranda, though. It was what she handled in her hand, as she lit her cancer stick: A dildo. Her stomach churned with disgust and fear. She wasn't going to use that on her, was she?
     
    “Don't touch me with that,” snarled Miranda as Francesca leaned into the circle of light. Hatred and disgust roiled in her thoughts. If her muscles weren't screaming from pain, Miranda would kick out her feet wildly at the woman.
     
    “This?” Francesca eyes flickered from Miranda to the dildo. She held up the sex toy into the light. Miranda flinched and jerked back, sick to her stomach at the very thought of being used against her will. The woman's fingers nimbly popped the top off the dildo. Miranda's eyes widened, catching the glint of steel.
     
    It wasn't a sex toy, at all. A small knife jutted from the base as Francesca held the sheath in her hand. The tip of the knife jerked toward Miranda's face. An involuntary scream burst from her lips a second before she realized the knife had bypassed her face. The edge sliced between her extended hands, pain peeled away at her wrists.
     
    Miranda's legs gave out under her, pain aching along her knees as she fell to the floor. Dust and dirt mushroomed up around her, swathing her in clouds of particles. She rubbed feeling back into her wrists, despite her biceps hissing in discontent.
     
    “Tyler sent me,” Francesca whispered as she dropped to the floor beside Miranda. “He has a plan.”
     
    “A plan?” Miranda echoed the woman, her eyes widening. Delight filtered into her thoughts. She was right! Tyler wouldn't ever leave her behind. She couldn't further question Francesca, though. Outside, the fleshy pounds and howls of a fight briefly bustled through the air.
     
    “That's our cue, come on.” Francesca took her by the wrist, ignoring any protests as she hauled Miranda to her feet. She could barely stand. Pain laced along her muscles.
     
    She didn't lead Miranda to the front of the warehouse, though. She led her to the back. Confusion sliced through her thoughts. “Why are we going this way?”
     
    “You'll see.”
     
    “But–” Before Miranda could continue her disagreement, her dark-adjusted gaze realized where they were heading. While tied up, she couldn't have spotted this shaft of light. A small square painted the floor, originating from a window. In the wall, however, a rectangle was outlined by light. A door!
     
    Francesca shoved it, fearlessly. The door opened with a metallic creak and night spilled in. Miranda followed
