Katie sincerely thought she was going to throw up now. Her stomach was churning uncontrollably; maybe this is why the handlers hadn't given her anything to eat since last night. Perhaps a wave of violently puking young girls and guys taught the auction house early on that an empty stomach helped sell a product for a higher bid.<br/><br/>These people were honestly going to do this... They were talking about real money. She'd seen the final transaction from the guy who was eyeing her earlier during the most heated auction. Real money. Real slavery.<br/><br/>She tried to raise her head to at least get a good look at this other bidder. At the last moment, she lost her courage and hid her eyes again.
