title: The Kidnapping
author: Pleasant, Barbara E.
description: While Vanna's guests were on the beach watching the Fourth of July fireworks, Austin stood hiding in the woods behind thick bushes, watching and waiting for his chance to grab Vanna.
  Austin whispered to himself. "Come this way. That's right, just a little closer. Come on, just a little closer ... closer. Come into my web said the spider to the fly," he chanted. "Soon you'll be all mine, my pet. You and everything Fallon gave you. That'll teach that thief not to steal my woman."
  Quickly Austin saw his chance and moved forward. In a flash he captured Vanna from behind, slapping a chloroform-soaked rag over her nose and mouth. He began to drag her backwards into the woods. Only her heels dragging on the ground left two lines in the sand that pointed the direction her kidnapper had taken her.
  This exciting novel is the second book in the thrilling Stargazer sci-fi series.
