The ne morning Sarah checked out alone and went straight to her unit.

The desert outpost… maybe it’s what you need. You always were the quiet type.”
Sarah nodded, thanked him, and went back to the house she’d shared with Jack for five years.
Empty. No Jack, no Margaret.
Good. She didn’t want a tearful goodbye.
She left the divorce decree and a letter for Margaret in the older woman’s room. Her bags were already packed and
shipped ahead.
Done.
She walked out the front gate.
And stopped.
Men. Big men, blocking her path.
Something cracked against the back of her head.
When she woke, she was in a chair. Tied. Weak.
Across the room, another chair. Another woman.
Jessica. Still in her hospital gown, but her eyes weren’t scared. They were waiting. Expectant.
Sarah’s blood went cold. She tried to speak, but her throat wouldn’t work.
Jessica smiled, slow and poisonous.
“I gave up everything for him, Sarah. Lost a baby. And he was going to send me away so you two could play happy family? Not a chance.”
Sarah catalogued the room. Exits. Debris. Anything.
One of the men checked his phone. “He’s five minutes out.”
Jessica nodded. “Do it.”
Gasoline splashed across the floor, up the walls. A lighter sparked. Chapter 7
