C arley pulled into the parking area at the Barracks. There were three cars in the lot, all parked in the front row, but none of the cars looked like Layton Terry's.
She parked at the far end of the front row of the lot. It was actually closest to Mason's patio doors since he had the last unit on the first floor. Those units had the nice patio doors to the side yard. Once it was finished, at least.
She opened her door and stepped from her vehicle. She leaned back in to retrieve her purse and her folder with the Offer and Addendum form she'd need to write this offer. Layton said he'd be making an offer, so she wanted to be prepared and not have to run back to her vehicle. She stepped back and stood up to close her door when something was placed over her head. It took a few moments for her to realize what happened. Then panic set in. Dropping the papers in her hand, she grabbed at the cloth bag or pillowcase or whatever it was over her head. An arm wrapped around her waist, and she started kicking and screaming. A sharp poke near her neck scared her further. She began to feel woozy and her thoughts were jumbled. Her arms and legs felt as if they were made of lead, then there was nothing.
