She wakes with a start, two huge guys standing over her, and her first instinct is to strike out, get an edge on her attackers, get away. But her body isn't listening to what her head is saying, and all she manages to do is sit up and ask where she is, a thick slur to her voice.

And now... what can she do now? God, if there was some way... but she can't move out of state, and no one will hire her now.
Her television flickers, starts blaring static, though she's sure it was off a moment ago.
And then... she hears a voice. The answer to her drunken prayers.
What the hell, it's not like I have anything left here, she thinks, and consents.
