First the tape was removed from my mouth and I spit out the gag. All those screams that had been suppressed came out with a vengeance.
“Get away from me! Help me! Help me!”
“I’m not your enemy, Marjorie.”
He removed the blindfold.
A blurry image slowly began to clarify. My mind was fuzzy, but I knew this person. This man.
“Dominic?”
“Yeah. It’s me. I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to help you.”
“Are you responsible for taking my mother? Where the hell is she, Dominic? You’ve taken a mentally ill woman against her will. You’ve taken me against my will!”
“Marjorie—”
“You transported me in the trunk of a car. I could have suffocated. Been killed by carbon monoxide!”
“You were in the back of a van, not a trunk. You were never in any dang—”

“Do you think I care what she goes by? Now untie my hands and feet so I can get the hell out of here. If my brothers find out what you’ve done, they’ll fucking kill you.”
“Alex and I aren’t your enemies,” he said quietly. “But we know who is.”

Joe and I headed over to the gym. Marj’s new trainer, Dominic, was the only other person who might have seen her this morning.
