She twisted, straining against his arms, acutely aware of the knife poised to slit her throat.
"Let me go." The whisper was harsh, cruelly ripping from her raw throat, fogging in the cold air. He kept her pinned against his body, forcing a gasp from his victim as the arm encircling her waist tightened abruptly.

"I mean nothing to them. Nothing." An angry grunt told her that he didn't believe her. Desperate, she slammed her heel into his instep, ducking as he roared with pain. Icy flames flared as the knife gouged past her eye, but she dove into the safety of the shadows.
"You won't be able to hide forever, woman." Her captor said savagely as he lifted a gun and surveyed the shadowed room. She muffled her breathing, one hand groping to find her own discarded weapon on the floor.
