There was no sign of any sinister SUVs or other cars that were out of place, so she began to allow herself to relax again. She was just tired. She needed to get some sleep. She’d go inside, pour a glass of the vegetable juice that she’d made in her extractor the morning before, finish off the wrap, take a shower and go to bed.
Focusing on her plan, she began to calm herself down and return to something of a normal state. It had been silly of her to get so carried away. Being inside her home had reassured her that she was safe and no one was really out to get her.
Hanging her bag and her coat on a hook in the front closet, she went to the kitchen, took the wrapper off the wrap and put it on a plate, taking a bite as she opened the cupboard in search of a glass. She opened the refrigerator and took out the pitcher of vegetable juice, turning the lid so that the hole was adjacent to the spout and then filled up the glass.
She set the glass beside the wrap on the breakfast bar and snagged another bite of the wrap as she turned back to the refrigerator with the pitcher. As she did, the doorbell rang. She had so completely dispensed with the idea that someone had been following her that she placed the pitcher back in the refrigerator and went straight to the front door.
It wasn’t until she opened the door that her earlier panic came rushing back. Standing in front of her were two men and a woman. They were dressed in dark uniforms and wore dark sunglasses.
“Hannah Withers,” the man nearest to her said with a tone of authority. “You need to come with us.”
