    Chapter 1
     
     
     
    Mia stepped off the elevator into the dimly lit concrete parking garage, the dark and dingy concrete space not the best choice she’d ever made, but it was convenient. Her quick trip to the mall for last-minute items for the Island had seemed like a good idea at the time. She hadn’t expected it to take so long; the delay was all in part to one register being down and a lady hogging the other. Goosebumps rose on Mia’s arms while scanning the breeding ground for potentially unseen problems. Gas fumes and leaked oil permeated the air.  The atmosphere had her clutching her purse close, and she drew in a deep breath, forbidding herself to tremble. The metal from her keys dug into her palm as she poised her finger on top of the pepper spray dispenser, ready to fire. Her gut clenched, and her heart raced. Her assailant was here. First the break ins at her apartment, and now here in the shadows. Her skin crawled, unsure if he was waiting and watching in the shadows.
    She held the pepper spray against her heart with her finger on the trigger, straining to listen for clues to his hiding spot. This game of cat and mouse left her drained, keeping her off balance and instilled with fear. She had one week left, and she’d be able to breathe again. The muscles in her shoulders tightened as she prepared, ready to fight.
    “I can do this,” she whispered, lifting her chin with confidence while ignoring her trembling hands.
    The elevator doors slid closed and, with it, the ability to flee to the warmth and security the building offered.
    Fog rolled in through the concrete opening, blocking the picturesque water from her view. The sunny afternoon sky was replaced with clouds and darkness. The dampness chilled her skin and seeped into her bones.
    “I know you’re here,” she hollered and listened as her voice echoed through the building. “You might as well come out.”
    She strained, listening to the silence that surrounded her. The sound of an oncoming car engine had her stepping back when it appeared from around the corner and continued down the concrete ramp.
    “Get a grip,” she whispered to herself and placed one foot in front of the other toward her parked car. Fear coupled with anger propelled her determination. “I’m losing my mind.”  The thought that it was all in her head left her feeling more confident with each step. She clicked the unlock button and reached for the door.
    Mia spotted the movement out of the corner of her eye, turning moments before pain exploded in her head, radiating throughout her body. She fell to her knees as her vision blurred and felt the purse being yanked from her arm. Her eyes rolled in her head as she slowly succumbed to the consuming darkness.
