Frustrated by this realization, Davey acknowledged the harsh truth.
Seeing no further use of Raegan, he lifted his foot off her. His expression disdainful, he commanded, Set the temperature to minus sixty-two degrees.
Raegan was shocked! She gasped in disbelief. This was his method of finishing what he hadnt managed before. He intended to freeze her to death.
Watching Davey stride toward the exit, Raegan realized she had one last opportunity. Once he left the room, her fate would be sealed.
How could she muster the strength to fight for her life? She didnt want to die. She was determined to live, to rescue her mother, and to await Ericks arrival.
With Caseys face in her mind, Raegan suddenly called out hoarsely, Davey Glyn!
Using his full name grabbed his attention. As expected, he halted and turned to face her.
Raegan bit her tongue, tasting blood, which brought a sharp clarity and calm. Her voice raspy from dehydration, she challenged, Have you ever considered whose child I am?

Though Davey had departed, it didnt mean Raegan had lost. A seed of doubt, once sown, might flourish into endless turmoil.
Raegan was betting on Davey being tormented by his doubts, ensnared by the trap she had laid. She had to remain alive until help arrived.
She must survive.
After exiting the room, Davey faced Casey, who was unable to speak or even change her expression. His look was stern.
On the surveillance screen, Raegan could be seen lying in the cold storage, an image of despair.
Davey watched Raegan for a prolonged moment. Unexpectedly, his heart, usually only moved by thoughts of Casey, felt an uncharacteristic twinge of distress.
Davey turned his eyes away, calming himself in whispers.
At first glance, he had pegged Raegan as astute. The things she said and her actions were unreliable. Surely, this was a snare she had laid for him.
Casting another glance at Casey, Davey remained silent before suddenly dropping to crouch, seizing her shoulders, and jolting her with force. Casey, are you hiding something from me?
