[That favor you owe me—you can pay it back now.] The moment the message had been sent, both the display on my phone and my mind plunged into darkness. I had no idea how much time had passed before the pungent stench of disinfectant finally jarred me awake.

The hollow emptiness in my lower abdomen served as a constant, brutal reminder of everything that had just transpired.
