Claire Summers awoke in a doctor's office, heart pounding in her chest, blouse hiked up around her belly. She watched in confusion as a dark-haired woman moved an ultrasound paddle over her exposed stomach. "Claire," said the woman, her badge identifying her as Dr. Greenwald, "your baby's going to be okay." She turned her head, scanning the room. They were alone. "I found the heartbeat," the woman continued. "You were lucky this time. Your baby's fine." Claire? Is that her name? She doesn't remember coming to see Dr. Greenwald, or even being pregnant. She doesn't remember anything before waking up in the examination room, her life a complete blank. The only thing she really knows is that someone, somewhere is trying to kill her.
