All that Chondra had wanted was to take her best friend, Kierra, out to trip the light fantastic: first to dinner, then on to the Purple Diamond to see her favorite group of all time. This was how the two friends would celebrate Kierra's much-deserved promotion--nothing but the best. TheyÕd had a wonderful time dancing, drinking and shouting towards the stage; but their walk to the parking garage was all Chondra could remember when sheÕd awakened the next morning with a horrible headache. To ChondraÕs horror, she was lying on a mildewed mattress, her ankle chained to a pipe in a dark, damp, musty basement Ðand her friend Kierra was nowhere to be found. Confused, heartbroken, and filled with panic, it didn't take long for Chondra to realize that she had been kidnapped.
