Luna figured it was time to head back as dawn’s first light crept over the horizon.

She was filthy and reeked of sweat. To make her kidnapping story believable, she’d scratched up her arms, making herself look like she’d been through hell.

She fished three hundred bucks from her pocket–cash she’d prepared in advance–and flagged down a taxi.

The driver wrinkled his nose, barely hiding his disgust. “Miss, you smell like you crawled out of a dumpster.”

Luna bit back her irritation, her voice tight. “I just escaped from kidnappers. Please, just get me home quick.”

She was a dollar short for the fare.

“What, you live in a mansion like this and can’t cough up a single buck?” the driver scoffed, eyeing her filthy appearance.

Tears of frustration welled up as she banged harder.

“Open the gate! It’s me, Luna! I’m back–I escaped!”

Silence was her only reply.

The driver, fed up with the smell and now stiffed a dollar, spat on the ground.

“What a piece of work!”

With a cloud of exhaust, he peeled away, leaving her stranded.
