Claire tenses and rolls with a sharp turn, stomach roiling. Fighting the nausea, she breathes as slowly as she can through her nose.
The taxi slows, and jerks to a stop.
Claire shivers, and sets her jaw.
The trunk pops two heartbeats later.
She squints in the sudden fluorescent brightness, recoiling in blind instinct.
The two shitheads who yanked her out of Louisa's apartment blot her vision as they reach for her; she kicks out, as much as she's able, howling despite the goddamn tape.
They want her out of this cab, they'll bleed as much as she will.
