Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Strip for Him

Evan tries to open the door of the dressing room but finds that it's locked. He raises his legs and kicks it and the door shudders in its frame. He kicks again and it splinters and swings open with a loud crash.

Robert and the bodyguards sprint to the door, almost slamming into Evan in their haste. Evan enters the room and immediately feels ice cold water spraying his head.

"Find the emergency valve and turn it off," he orders.

The bodyguards rush away and the water stops pouring from the ceiling. Evan splashes across the room and his eyes struggle to adjust to the darkness. He hears a soft moan and sees Avery curled into a fetal position on the floor.

She's completely naked and half-submerged in a puddle of icy water. Evan squints and sees that blood has mixed with the water.

"Shit," he whispers. His blood seems to have frozen in his veins.
