      Chapter 1

      When Senator Xavier Sanford woke up, the first thing he noticed was the pounding inside of his head. He didn’t think he’d had that much to drink last night at the fourth-of-July celebration.

      A glass of water would be a godsend right now.

      He opened his eyes slowly, but the morning light that would normally seep in around the closed curtains of his bedroom was absent. It must still be the middle of the night. Reaching over to the bedside table for his phone to see what time it was, he felt nothing but air.

      Where am I?

      A horrible thought briefly passed through his mind. Had he had far too much to drink last night, possibly made a complete fool of himself at the party and been too wasted even to catch a cab home? He tried to recall if Bob Guthrie—one of his biggest supporters, and the man who had hosted last night’s party—had offered to let him sleep it off in one of the guest bedrooms, but the thoughts just weren’t coming back. The last thing he remembered was that cute intern he’d come to the party with, Shareese, smiling at him as fireworks went off in the background.

      Please, God, no!

      He slowly moved his left hand towards the opposite edge of the bed, hoping he didn’t feel another body lying next to him. A stupid move like that could end his career. He was old enough to be her father, for goodness’ sake. Relief washed over him as he felt no one.

      Details concerning his current whereabouts unknown, he still needed that glass of water, and the pressure on his bladder was becoming more pronounced by the minute. He steeled himself against the throbbing inside of his head as he raised himself to an upright position. Still nothing but pitch blackness. He waited for his eyes to adjust, to see something… anything, but the scene before his eyes remained unchanged.

      He threw back the covers and slowly placed his feet on the floor. As he did so, a small night-light came on at the far end of the room.

      Where is this place?

      When he stood up, he was temporarily blinded as several overhead fluorescent lights came on, illuminating the entire room. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he observed his surroundings. It was obviously not a bedroom in Bob’s house. The room was about eight feet
