Beth held her tongue, though her eyes lingered on Natalie’s calm, obedient posture.
The screams from next door only grew sharper, proof of the beating underway.

Still, curiosity gnawed at her. “Beth, do you know who’s in the next cabin?”

Take my “I don’t. And I don’t care,” Beth replied curtly. “She’s not my cargo. too curious. Staying alive is what matters here. I don’t want to be your enemy. I only work here because I have no choice. If we can both make it through these three hours without incident, I’ll be grateful. And if you’re ever fortunate enough to get out of here, don’t forget I showed you a little kindness.”
Beth fell silent after that.
But Natalie pressed on, her tone measured. “You’re right. With my looks, maybe I’ll be bought by some powerful man. And you said yourself, I have the right temperament. Who knows? Maybe I will find fortune later. If that happens, perhaps I could help you. Tell me – what binds you here? What forces you to stay?”

Beth faltered for a beat, surprised, but only laughed. The laugh was hollow, laced with ridicule.
It was enough. Natalie understood.
The promises of “fortune” were just lies for the new captives.
She had no illusions, so she felt no disappointment.
Instead, she shifted her strategy. Lowering her voice, she said, “The woman next door might be my sister. I know her. She just lost a child not long ago – less than a month. Beating her like that could kill her. Dead women don’t fetch a price, do they? And these screams… too loud. What if the wrong people hear?”

“Tone it down in there,” Beth snapped. “If the boss hears, do you want a bullet in your head?”
The door opened. Another woman in the same uniform as Beth stepped out.
She shot Natalie’s cabin a glance before sneering. “Beth, mind your own business. If these bitches don’t listen, I’ll beat them. You think your soft hands will keep them in line? Don’t forget if your cargo doesn’t sell, you and that son of yours will die. Instead of meddling in my work, worry about your own.”
Natalie’s heart jolted.
Beth had a son.
So that was her chain, the reason she remained trapped here.
If Natalie could use that, maybe she could win Beth over before the auction.
Three hours. That was all the time she had to turn an enemy into an ally.
Her thoughts raced.
Inside the neighboring cabin, chaos erupted. A woman bolted past the distracted guard.
“You little bitch! Think you can run? I’ll break your legs!” the woman in charge bellowed, lunging after her.
The fugitive stumbled forward and, spotting Beth, clutched at her desperately. “Please, help me! I’m Jensen’s wife! Call him and he’ll ransom me – whatever you want, he’ll pay! Please!”
Natalie froze.
That voice. That face.
Sharon.
Sharon was here too.
So this was whose territory she’d fallen into

one bold enough to seize both her and Sharon.
The guard sneered at Sharon’s plea. She grabbed her hair and slapped her hard across the face. “Shut up, slut! You’re begging for death!”
Sharon staggered, falling to the floor.

Her gaze darted sideways, by chance landing on Natalic.
Their eyes miet.
Sharon froze.
“Natalie? You’re here too?”
