Melanie stiffens when the roof is abruptly torn away, expecting to see a stranger and readying herself to bolt. But it's Daniel, and she relaxes immediately. "Yes," she says, sitting up. "What happened?" Maybe he remembers why someone stuffed her into what she now realizes is the boot of a car.

She eyes the milling police officers uneasily, then lifts her wrists back up to finish undoing the knot with her teeth. That done, she slips out of the boot, stepping carefully to avoid the broken glass. Do the police know they're rifties? They should probably get out of here before they find out - especially before they find anything out about her.
