Going Down in an Elevator
1987 a Large American City
Being a work-acholic with little social life other than job-related functions, it wasn't unusual for me to go to the office on a Saturday night. When I entered the building and checked in at the security station, the tiny hairs on the back of my neck screamed danger.
The night shift weekend Security Guard wasn't to be found. Floored by the person's absence, as the guard was always at their station when I worked on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night, I walked about the halls on the first floor searching for her.
After fifteen minutes, I gave up my search, proceeded to the elevators, and inserted my keycard in the slot for the executive elevator.
The wait took forever. The level light indicator showed the unit on the 23rd floor, two floors below my firm's offices. Tapping my toe, impatient and a tad angry, I wondered if, for some reason, the guard was on that floor. What burned me about this? Someone used the one elevator my firm forbade others to use. If I found the upstairs intruder to be a security guard, I'd turn their ass in and have their job terminated. Imagine the gall!
The elevator, at last, moved first up four floors, which put the person's location at my firm's penthouse suite of offices. The one place, this night, no one other than I should be. After a few minutes, with me pushing the call button and shoving my key in and out, the car started down. At this point, I'm mad as hell. Getting the shock of my life when the doors opened.
A young black woman, taller than me, glowered with angry, hate-filled eyes in my direction. The woman dressed in all black, t-shirt, leather jacket, and stretch pants, holding a bag, which she dropped. In a flash, this woman jumped at me.
I turned and ran. Quick as a fox, the woman grabbed my ponytail and yanked me back into the car. Throwing me against the back wall, she laughed as the wind escaped my lungs and slithered down the wall. The sick wheezing, the fear of never getting air again, and this angry black person.
"Where you think you going, bitch?"
Towering over me, she dared me to get up. Her fist clenched, those dagger-throwing eyes glared. Thinking she might hurt me, I stayed on the floor, trying to not stare into her eyes. As my lungs returned to normal, I glanced up.
"Don't be eyeballing me, bitch. Yeah, you keep your eyes on that motherfucking floor, you half an albino barbie doll. Is your hair your natural color?"
Bobbing my head, I turned my back to the wall, sitting with my legs straight out. Somewhere above me, something caught my attention, like one drag of a knife down a steel rod. Glancing upward in her hand, a switchblade glinted in the overhead light.
"Don't move," she said.
She picked up my electronic key from the floor, came back inside, and hit the penthouse on the console. The car jumped, putting my tummy in my throat for a second as the elevator rushed upward. When 14 was changing to 15, she hit the emergency switch, and the car jolted to a rough stop. The indicator flickered 14, 15, 14, 15.
"On your feet, Barbie Doll," the woman ordered.
"My name," I stood as I talked. She cut me off.
"I don't give a rat's ass what your name is, bitch." Using the blade, the woman motioned me to come to her.
"You and me taking a ride."
My mind raced. Did she want money? Did she want my watch? My apartment, stuff? What the hell did she want? Don't know how I knew, but I felt safe for the moment, as she wouldn't kill me here. She'd want to get me to another place?
"Where are we going?"
"To Nirvana. Now, Barbie, strip out of your clothes." Using her knife, she punctuated her command. "Slip out our sexy silk blouse first, sweetheart. Let me see what hot bra you're wearing."
"Please," I begged. "I won't talk. You can take my purse. Just let me go." I held out my clutch for her. "I have over $200 in there."
The burglar smacked my hand, and my clutch flew away, hitting the mirrored wall.
"If you speak another word, without me telling you to, whore, I'm gonna cut cracker tongue out of your whore mouth and stuff it up your tiny white ass."
Without further resistance, I unbuttoned my blouse, pulled it free from my skirt, pulled it off, and let it fall to the floor.
