Demon's Mercy, page 31
Everything stopped for a second and then sped up. The crash was thunderous. Her passenger bellowed and flew through the window. The airbags deployed right into her face and propelled her back into the seat.
Pain smashed through her skull. She blinked, her ears ringing.
A police officer ran up and opened her door. “What in the hell?” he muttered, blood on his chin.
She gasped and shoved the airbag down. “Where is he?” she coughed, her eyesight blurry. Her assailant was sprawled on the pavement, blood on his face as rain pelted down. The other officer leaned over him, talking into a radio at his shoulder.
Then her would-be kidnapper jerked awake and leaped to his feet. Blood covered his face and his neck, while his left arm hung at an unnatural angle. He stood several inches taller than the officer. “Promise!” he bellowed.
She gasped. How did he know her name?
The cop tried to grab him, but he shoved the officer into the side of the car. Before the officer next to Promise could draw his gun, the kidnapper turned and ran into an alley.
The police officers quickly pursued him.
She panted, her mind buzzing, her body aching. He’d known her name. It wasn’t a random kidnapping.
The police officers soon returned, both shaking their heads.
Oh God. He was gone.
