They led her inside the main building. The walls were fashioned from corrugated iron sheet, held up


    with bars of steel on the inside. There were machines and bins of various types. Even without the men


    around, it was a bit imposing.


    Debbie looked warily around as she walked inside. She found what she was looking for fairly quickly.


    Kasie was suspended from a rope, her mouth taped, her limbs tied.


    When Kasie saw Debbie, she shook her head violently, trying to warn her. But gagged like she was, all


    she could do was make muffled, iprehensible noises.


    Debbie gave her aforting smile, then hardened her expression as she shifted her gaze to the men.


    “I’m the one you want. Let her go.”


    Just then, a man in a pink suit walked out. He’d been hanging back. He held a knife that glinted


    strangely in the gloom. Debbie didn’t know these men. Why were they targeting her? Especially this


    pink guy, who looked way too slight and fine-featured to be a man.


    She wondered what these guys had against her.


    “Did you do this?” she demanded.


    The pink guy gave her a sinister smile and replied, “Yeah. I’m impressed. I didn’t think you’d have the


    balls toe alone.

    Debbie smiled.


    “Thanks. Now that I’m here, let my friend go.”


    “What’s the rush?” The man sat down in a chair. Another guy run up to him carrying a ss of water.


    “I have a shit-ton of work to do. Quit with the games. What do you want?” Debbie cut to the chase. The


    Longer she stayed, the more danger she was in.


    The man ced the knife horizontally before his eyes and slid his left index finger along its edge, as if


    he was admiring the work of the craftsman. Then, “Leave Ivan,” he said. His voice was gentle, soft like


    a woman’s.


    “Ivan?’ Debbie wondered. ‘Is he…”

    “How?” she asked further.


    Aldrich looked at her and said, “Divorce him. Leave him forever


    Debbie smiled again.


    “Will you let my friend go if I agree to it?”


    “By all means.”


    “Okay, let her go. I’ll leave him,” Debbie promised immediately.


    Something about her tone irritated Aldrich. He expected her to put up a fight. But he didn’t realize he’d


    be doing Debbie a favor. He pped the table hard and asked in a venomous tone, “Do I look like an


    idiot to you? She stays till you bring me signed divorce papers. Tell anyone else, and…”


    Debbie took two more steps forward. Aldrich was rmed. He waved his hand, and three of his men


    emerged from the shadows, nking him. She might take him down, but he wasn’t going to make it


    easier for her.


    “You have my word. Let me and Kasie out of here, and I’ll divorce
