They took her to a small, windowless room.

There was nothing inside-only a chair and an interrogation table, with a single desk lamp fixed above it.
After they led her in, a man cthrough the door.
He wasn’t in uniform; he wore a black suit, and Natalie couldn't tell from the poor light whether he was part of
the system or soutside agent.
Her stomach tightened. It was impossible not to be afraid.
What case have they tiedto? she wondered. Is this about Mr. Rigel? Or did Anna die? Anna had been taken
by Baron's people, but who could say whether someone might have silenced her to cover their tracks?
If it were Anna, Natalie had indeed argued with her-but murder? At worst she'd acted in self- defense.
Thinking that through eased her a little.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties. The glare hid his features, but his watching eyes made Natalie
uncomfortable.
“I'm only here to give a statement. Bringingto a place like this is illegal,” she said calmly— no panic, no
bravado, just a steady voice.
He said nothing. Instead he snapped on the desk lamp and aimed the harsh beam directly into her face.
The light stung. Natalie squinted and raised an arm to shield her eyes.

Her heart dropped. “What did you inject into me? This is illegal. Who are you? Why aren't you in uniform? You-"
Questions crowded her, but the room tilted. Dizziness swept over her and her thoughts began to fragment.
She reached for something to grab, anything at all-but there was nothing within reach.
As her vision blurred and consciousness fled, she heard one of them say, “Before anyone notices, toss her
outside.”
Only then did Natalie understand: these weren't police officers at all.
Who were they? How dare they pretend to be the police and haul her off? What had they injected into her?
Would she live?
In the confusion, an image floated through her clouded mind-Baron. She imagined his face streaked with tears
over her body.
Her chest ached.
If this were the end-if she died now-what would she leave behind for her children? They had only just begun to
know her. She hadn't had the chance to be the kind of mother she wanted to be.
She refused to let it end like that.
But there was nothing she could do.
“Baron...” she whispered. A single tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and then she blacked
out,
Baron, meanwhile, didn’t know what had happened to her. He'd gone straight to the black market clinic.
The underworld contacts arrived fast.

Payne blinked, startled and uneasy. “I'm not going to break the law for you.”
“Relax. The person | need freed isn’t a criminal. She’s a victim.” Baron's voice held iron conviction.
“What do you mean?” Payne asked.
Baron told him about Natalie.
