The taxi trunk reeks of gas fumes and old carpet.

Claire might gag if she weren't screaming.

The fucking duct tape muffles her shrieks, rendering them just another note within the white-noise hum of nighttime traffic.

She's hobbled by the tape around her wrists and ankles; every muscle strains and shakes as she bucks against her bonds. Her bent knees bump unforgiving metal — ow — and she hisses an unintelligible shit.

A frantic twist puts her on her side; she gets the soles of her sneakers flat on one wall of the trunk, just below the lip of its seam. She pushes off, kicking like a hellbent mule — again, again, and again, making what she hopes is a furious ruckus.

Drawing in the deepest breath she can manage through her bloodied nose, she shouts again.

Goddamn tape. Shit, shit, shit.
