Ten minutes later, everything was ready. Ashley placed the dishes on the table and sat down.
She picked up a fork, stared at the food for a moment, then shook her head in despair.
Fear had taken away her appetite. This can't go on, she thought angrily.
Whoever he is, I won't let him do this to me. I won't. Ashley glanced at her watch. It was time to leave for work.

It was an attractively furnished third-floor apartment on Via Camino Court,
with a living room, bedroom and den, bathroom, kitchen and guest powder room.
She had lived here in Cupertino, California, for three years. Until two weeks ago, Ashley had thought of it as a comfortable nest, a haven.
Now it had turned into a fortress, a place where no one could get in to harm her.
Ashley walked to the front door and examined the lock. I'll have a dead bolt put in, she thought. Tomorrow.
She turned off all the lights, checked to make sure the door was firmly locked behind her and took the elevator to the basement garage.
The garage was deserted. Her car was twenty feet from the elevator.
