Short blurb:
Abducted and forced to channel all his TV character’s
smarts, can actor Chase Riley escape his captors and return to his boyfriend?
Long Blurb:
Actor Chase Riley is road tripping his way home when he is abducted. A delusional fan is convinced that Chase is really Elliot, the character he plays in a popular cop series. In order to survive, Chase must channel all his TV character's smarts, while trying to convince his abductor that he really is just a very good actor.
Chase's boyfriend, co-star Aidan Buffett, is on a trip with his sister when he gets news of Chase's disappearance. Trapped in an airport in Mexico trying to get home, Aidan is both terrified he will never see Chase again and tortured with guilt for allowing his lover to travel alone.
When Chase makes a desperate attempt to escape, the consequences are serious. And though Aidan will get to see his Chase again, it is with no guarantee that his boyfriend will survive to tell the tale.
Excerpts:
This wasn't the first time Chase
had stopped at this place. The food wasn't bad and, besides, he was famished.
He hadn't eaten anything since dinner last night and had only coffee this
morning.
"I'll take today's special and the grilled
chicken and garlic."
"Right
away, sir."
There weren't many customers. Chase
swept a glance around the room from his bar stool. The quieter, the better. He
really didn't want anyone to recognize him.
"You
look familiar."
Great.
So much for not being recognized.
Chase turned slowly sideways. A
man, fiftyish, had taken the stool right next to him. Chase automatically
pulled back.
"You
got the wrong man."
"I
don't think so." The man
grinned widely. "Riley,
right? Chase Riley, the actor? I'm Bob Nelson." He seized Chase's hand and shook it hard.
Chase offered a half-hearted smile.
Who is this man? A journalist?
"My
son is a big fan of your show."
Ah.
Chase smiled.
"He
worships Elliot Smith. He thinks he’s a real hero."
Elliot
Smith was the character he played on a TV
show.
"Yeah,
I think so too," Chase
said carefully.
"He
tries to do whatever Elliot does, but it frustrates him sometimes when he
can't. He wants Elliot to be there with him, to show him the ropes."
Chase paused. This didn't sound
right.
And when his food came, Chase could
only look at it, his appetite slipping away.
"Uh,
you mind if I ask this to be wrapped?"
he asked, somewhat hesitant, but the waiter was a truly nice man.
"Definitely
not a problem."
Chase nodded, and he grimaced
toward the old man.
"That's
awesome that your son enjoys our series. We really appreciate your support." Chase didn't want to think
that it might look embarrassing that he then dashed to the cashier. He wasn't
afraid of the man. No, he wasn't.
Chase was relieved that his order
was ready to go by the time he'd finished paying. He hurried across the parking
lot toward his car and tossed the food onto the passenger seat. Only when he
sank into his seat behind the wheel did Chase take a deep breath of relief. He
closed his eyes.
Chase,
you're
pathetic, he scolded himself. No
wonder Aidan keeps worrying about you.
Chase glanced in the rear-view
mirror as he put on his sunglasses, tensing when suddenly he saw a movement
behind him. Before he had a chance to look again, something sharp thrust into
his side through layers of his shirt and jacket.
"Not
a word, no sudden movement. I don't want to harm you but—"
"You
have a knife!" Chase said.
"No
talking!"
The man shoved the knife deeper and
Chase breathed hard as he felt it pierce his skin. His ears were ringing as he
tried to make sense of what was happening.
"Drive," urged the man.
Chase tried to catch a glimpse of
him in the mirror, but the guy was crouching low behind his seat.
"No—"
"Go!"

Bio:
Iyana lives in Jakarta, a city famous for its traffic jams, a lot of cars and motorcycles, and people selling stuff on the roads. You can spend two hours on the road going to a place you can reach in half an hour in a normal situation. Thanks to the traffic jams, though, Iyana can come up with a lot of stories, mostly shorties, as she prefers to spend the time during her trips writing into her cell phone rather than sleeping.
Another thing Iyana loves is kitties.
Right now she has three of them. Their names are Cil, Horus, and Betsy, and one
kitten. When she doesn’t write, she plays with them, or they would play with
her when she writes.
