Bridgette opened her eyes with difficulty. She had a splitting headache. She blinked few times and observed her surroundings. It was a dark room, small windows toward the top of the wall, almost hugging the ceiling. 'Basement?' Bridgette tried to move, but she realized that her legs are tied at her ankles and her arms are also tied at her wrists in the back.
'Where am I? How did I get here?', she tried to remember. She knows that JoAnna said how after lunch they will go to the Mediterranean villa to take measurements. What happened next? Pieces started coming back, but they were fuzzy because back of her head was throbbing painfully, and she had difficulty concentrating. Eventually after some time she was able to piece up information: master bedroom… yes, they finished measuring master bedroom… JoAnna opened large French doors and went out to the balcony… and then… nothing.
