mixture of relief and disappointment. Her hand was warm and tingly in his.
      “We need to leave now. The longer we stay, the more dangerous it is for you, for many reasons.” He dropped her hand weakly by her side and turned and walked over to her bedroom door. Turning in the threshold, he jerked his head once in the direction of the door, indicating to Evie that he would not tell her again.
      Letting her breath out in temporary defeat, she grabbed her smart phone off the bed and paused for a moment noticing her favorite nightshirt folded hastily on her pillow. The only words visible on her British flag nightshirt were the name Sid Vicious. She looked up at him as he waited.   She shivered as she followed him out.

Chapter 4
    “ Where is your vehicle?” his question more a demand as he stood surveying her driveway.  The brutal wind blew his hair around, obscuring his face, which was fine with Evie, since eye contact with him made her insides quiver.
      She snorted and rolled her eyes, “It was towed and with being hospitalized and attacked by a crazy naked guy, I haven’t had time to pick it up.” She shook her head in disgust while she pulled the wool collar of her jacket up around her neck.
      He pointed at a large mountain of snow that had been plowed into the corner of her driveway, “Then we will have to take that.” She looked at the snow, then back at him. Was he serious? Was there a car behind the mountain of snow in her driveway?
      A hysterical bubble of laughter burst from her. “You’re joking, right?” Covering her mouth, she looked at him in disbelief, her laugh abrupt. The absurdity of it all was overwhelming as tears began to fall down her cheeks. He was certifiably insane and she was screwed. How was she going to get out of this? Who knows where he would take her if she got into a car with him. She knew she was screwed.
      “We’re going to drive a pile of snow somewhere. Snow. That’s what you are pointing at, right? I don’t see anything else but snow. “The pitch of her voice heightened to an almost panicked state.
      “Are you sure you only see snow?”  His question was mocking as he cocked his head to the side, and stepped towards her. Glaring at him as he grabbed her upper arm, Evie shook her head in irritation as she looked at the snow pile again.
    She was stunned.
      A blacked out SUV with its engine humming sat idling where the snow was previously located. Evie gaped at the spot, eyebrows furrowed in confusion and disbelief causing her to shake her head in denial, her snow dampened curls sprinkling icy specks onto her face.
      “That’s not possible,” the whispered refusal to believe what she was seeing escaped her.
    “It isn‘t possible because you didn‘t see it?” He cocked his head with shrewd regard.  “How very narrow-minded of you. Let‘s go,” he commanded, pulling her none too gently by her arm as he dragged her to the vehicle.
    She stumbled along, weak attempts at pulling away from him failing, like a child being led away from the toy aisle in a store. “I don’t understand what’s happening,” she said in confusion. Could she be sleeping? Was she in the throes of a bad dream? Maybe she was still in the hospital.
      ‘You’re not still in the hospital and you’re not sleeping,” he said, confirming her silent questions as he pulled open the door and pushed her into the passenger seat. Leaning one hand on the roof, he leaned into her, his eyes glaring for a moment. She leaned away, her hands instinctively rising to defend herself if needed.
    “ You need to understand that what I tell you is the truth.” searching her eyes he added, “you have to trust me right now,” a command, not a question. Evie gave a noncommittal shrug as he pulled his hand away and attempted to close the door, pausing as a light brightened the sky, followed by a distant boom.
    “ Fuck!” he blurted out, his eyes wide as he looked in the direction of the sound
