kidnapped. All the people she counted on are suddenly unavailable:

CC couldn't count on her partner, Max Sampson, helping her. He was in the hospital recovering from an attack by the killer that put him out of commission. The pain in the ass Deputy Marshal Val Brown, who was panting after her sister, wasn't even still in town.
Would anyone show up to save her? Or would the killer get away with another murder and continue to escape the justice the victims deserved? CC's future looked very bleak! And very short!
