This was bad.

Well, at least she was alive.

Patting her back pocket, Elizabeth couldn’t feel her phone, or her gun.

And her badge was gone too.

Fuck.

She wasn’t wearing her cowboy boots, so she wasn’t sure if Ivan had time to bug her hiking boots like he normally did her other shoes.

He only tracked her phone, watch, and cowboy boots. This wasn’t looking good for her.

Yeah, she couldn’t wait around to find out. That they’d covered her mouth meant they didn’t want her making a sound for anyone to hear her.

As that panic went up, Elizabeth fought to stay as calm as she could until she could save herself.

“Your heartrate has accelerated. Lower it or you risk passing out,” MATE said, monitoring her vitals.

Oh, she was well aware.

Only, it was easier said than done.

“Can you turn on a light?” she asked. “I need to be able to see where I am.”

MATE complied.

The vest lit up, and she could see that where they’d dumped her wasNOTa good place.

Inside, all over the ground, there were bones.

HUMANbones.

Now, there was no doubt that they’d pull her later for incredibly nasty and nefarious things. It appeared from the look of it that she’d discovered the place they took the victim to end their life.

And it had been going on a while.

How did she know?

Skulls were lined up like some sick decoration deep in the cave. They were side-by-side, and piled up on each other against the wall.

And there were quite a few of them too.

Yep.

This was bad.

It was time to get the fuck out of there.

The last thing she wanted to do was make herself an easy victim. That would mean moving until she found a weapon that she could use.

As of that moment, MATE was her only lifeline at this point.

She was grateful that Chris’ R&D got her back from oblivion, or she’d be seriously screwed. The only thing that would make her feel better was if her vest wasn’t damaged.

And she could call Ivan.

It was time to get moving before the cannibals came back. Yeah, a week ago, this wasn’t a problem on her radar. That’s how quickly this went downhill.
