My body rolls into something and then the movement comes to a complete stop. When I open my eyes and try to look around, it's pitch black. I try to stretch my legs but there isn't enough room.

I think I’m inside a trunk.

How did Jonah get me in here?

My throbbing head reminds me the truck crashed and then...I can't remember.

The trunk lid lifts and my breath hitches when I see the man towering over me.

Not Jonah.

"Wesley," I hiss, squinting at the blinding light above me.

"Rise 'n shine. C'mon, let's go." He digs his fingers into my upper arm and pulls me out.

"Shit, my head." I press my fingers to my temple.

"I have meds in the loft." He digs what I can only assume is the barrel of a gun into my back. "Start walkin'."

"Where're we?" I ask, not recognizing the building as he forces me through what looks like a dungeon but above ground.

It smells like oil and rust.

"That's not for you to worry about. Upstairs, go. Now."

"What's up here?" I ask weary.

Nothing good, I'm sure.

"Stop askin' questions, Delilah. Raven needs you, so do as you're told, and no one gets hurt."

"Raven's here?"

My question's answered by a loud wailing in the distance.

"What'd you do to her?" I sprint up the stairs, not worrying about him behind me, and whip open the door.

I'm greeted by a newly remodeled loft. Although it's one large space, it's separated by designated rooms. A master bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom.

But it's the room next to the bed that has me panicking.

A nursery.

Raven's on the bed, propped up on pillows, and she's sweating.

"Are you okay?" I grab her hand and scan her body for any injuries.

"My water broke," she explains, sounding terrified.

"Oh my God. She needs to go to the hospital," I tell Wesley. "The baby's early. She needs a doctor."

"No!" he booms behind me. "That's why you're here."

My head snaps toward him. "Are you crazy? I've never delivered a baby before. I haven't even been pregnant."

"Your mom's a nurse, I'm sure you know enough."

My eyes widen as I realize why he's brought me here.
