Lucie looked at me from across the table, seductively. She was a tall, stunning girl with a gorgeous body and long blond hair, second only to my wife!
I had met Lucie for work, as an advertiser I had to meet her to talk about ideas over dinner as my boss had told me too. "Too much? It's not enough!" Was my idea for her chocolate brownies, that was her business.
My wife knew I was out with Lucie, she wasn't too happy, but she appreciated that it was for work reasons rather than as a meet with a random girl.
I'd just about sold the idea that I had to her when I realised the time. 9:40pm. We'd been here for three and a half hours and I had no idea of the time. We left the restaurant together. I realised that she hadn't got any transport back to her hotel that was around 4 miles away and slightly out of my way on the way home, I offered her a lift, which she accepted, I half wondered whether she'd done that on purpose.
We drove onto the main road together and suddenly we hit traffic. The whole road was stationery and there was nothing we could do about it. We turned off at the next intersection as planned and I finally dropped her off at 10:20pm. I drove home as soon as her front door had opened and drove home immediately, hoping to get my best shot at the traffic. I finally got in at 11pm. My wife had already gone to bed. I laid down and went to sleep.
7am Friday morning, the next morning, my alarm goes off and I get out of bed. Clean my teeth, have a bath, use the bathroom, get changed. All of the usual things I do. After all, it's just a usual day. I drove to work, got to work. In walked Lucie, as expected, I showed her my ideas, the storyboards that I had made, the scripts. She left I went off for lunch. Had lunch. Got back to work. Finished work. Locked up. Approached my car. All of a sudden a black car with blue flashing lights came out of nowhere and stopped right behind my car. Out jumped a police woman and held out her gun at me. I put my hands up.
"Hands on your car!" The policewoman said. Confused I obliged.
"What have I done?" I asked. Honestly completely shocked.
"You know exactly what you have done!" The policewoman said as she cuffed my hands behind my back. "Come with me" she says. Ironically pulling me so I didn't really have a choice on the matter! We got to the undercover police car and she opened the door and ushered me in by pushing my head down.
In the car I looked around and there was no one inside it apart from the officer who had arrested me and her partner. Suddenly the screens moved up so I was stuck inside the cabin, completely shut off from the outside world. The vents opened and hot air blew out towards me. Before too long it started to smell hot, a damp smell, sending shivers down my spine. The hot air was getting too much for me in my suit. Sweat was dropping off my forehead. I could feel the wet patches under my arms. Sight started to go all funny. Everything I could see had been blurred up. Then bang! Everything went black.
I woke up in a brick room, it was cold, lonely, dark and damp. There was no door in sight, partly because it was hidden from sight, in a corner was a gap that seemed even more dark than the rest of the room and around that corner were iron bars.
