I twist, elbowing him in the ribs. He grunts, surprised.

I swing. Fist to his face. Connects.

He stumbles.

“Stupid girl,” he growls, lunging.

I kick out, hard, landing a hit to his shin. He snarls and grabs my arm, trying to throw me—but I pivot, drive my knee up.

“No—”

Pain explodes in my side.

My scream rips through the garage, but it dies fast.

My body locks. Convulses. Drops.

I hit the concrete hard, bones screaming in protest.

My vision shakes.

“Should’ve stayed in bed,” Gio mutters.

I try to crawl.

Get up Adriana.

Get up!

Crack.

The butt of the taser slams into the side of my head.

And everything
