He stood on the sidewalk, holding the slip of paper with the address written down. He checked it again as the cab drove away, leaving him standing at the curb. He recalled the instructions...have no id, take only cash to pay the cabs, take two cabs rather than one from different parts of the city to arrive at this destination, be wearing an overcoat with little or nothing underneath, tell your friends you are going away for the long weekend and not to contact you, leave your cell phone turned off at home etc. He shivered slightly, ensuring he had followed Her instructions exactly.

The door opened and a voice urged him to come inside. He stepped into the entry and the door was closed behind him and he heard it lock. A lady dressed in a long black dress stood before him, measuring him up from head to the floor. A curl of a smile spread across her face as she said - "Welcome. Please remove all your clothing and place it here on this table. When you are finished, come into the drawing room on the left." With that she strode off, her long legs swaying and heels clicking on the wooden floor.
