Chapter 49

Titus gestured toward the massive transparent container that had just been wheeled in. “Miss Savio, have you ever watched a diving performance before? That’s what you’ll be doing tonight. Please step inside.”

Without delay, the workers who had carried in the container hurried to the bathroom. They attached a nylon pipe to the faucet and began filling the chamber with water. The liquid splashed against the clear walls, rising inch by inch under the dim lights.

Laura’s skin turned ashen.

“I’ll die in there,” she whispered, her voice trembling as she shook her head violently.

“We’re not here to watch you die.” Titus replied, his tone dripping with deceptive kindness. “It takes a person about four to six minutes to drown. We’ll pull you out after three.”

“Then why are you paying two hundred thousand dollars?” she asked shakily, her mind reeling even as greed warred, with terror in her chest.
