But I can also see that the bolt is not locked.

I know it's a mistake. I know I shouldn't.

Even as I know these things, though, I stare at the door, consumed by my need
to know more.

I take two steps closer, reaching out a hand to grip the metal handle and then,
my inner voice still screaming at me to stop, I pull it open just a crack and look
inside.

The noise from inside is suddenly louder without the thick door to keep it in.

1 see two men facing me, strapped to chairs, fabric gags tied

across their mouths. They're moaning, one sobbing, as they look

at something just out of my sight, terror in their eyes. As I watch, though, their
torturer reveals himself.

Kent, dressed in his suit pants and an undershirt, steps into my

line of sight. My eyes take in the strong muscles of his back, the

rage that I can see pulsing through him just by the way he stands

over these men.

He's wrapped his belt around his hand, a long piece of it hanging. down from his
fist, the buckle dangling. As I watch, Kent rips his

fist to the side, letting the belt drag across the men’s faces like a whip, the buckle
tearing the flesh of their cheeks.

“TELL ME,” Kent commands, his shoulders heaving. The men

tremble before him, crying. They shake their heads no, but this is apparently not
the answer that Kent wants. He drops the belt, moving to the man on the left and
pulling a knife from his pocket.

The man starts to scream as Kent stands behind him, pressing

the sharp edge of the knife to the man’s pinky finger. The scream

turns to a howl of horror, of pain, as Kent presses the blade

deeper.

I'm frozen to the spot, horrified. Though I can feel myself

trembling, I can’t move, can't stop watching. The man not being

cut begins to scream in panic, looking everywhere for a way out

and then —

Oh my god —

His eyes fix on me. He sees me peeking through the door, fixates on me. He
begins to scream in my direction and I think I can hear the words “help! HELP!”
reverberate through the room.

Sensing a change, Kent's eyes shift to the other man and then

move directly to me.

1 gasp and push the door shut and then bolt-bolt — from the

hallway.

Panic moves me faster than I

thought I could go as I scramble up

the stairs, sprint across the kitchen,

pull open the kitchen door and then

use the banister to propel myself up

the main stairs two steps at a time.

Of course, I had already made this
assessment — in jail when I'd
interviewed him, then again when he
kidnapped me — but now? The truth
feels like it has hit home inside of me,

I reach the top of the stairs and throw
myself towards my room, my fingers
inches from my doorknob, when
something grabs me around my

waist, hauling me back against a
