I was sitting there, listening to the music in my car, having a little break from work. It has been a really busy day at the office; holiday season is upon us all. I reclined the seat, blasting the heat to full, fogging up the car windows. I relaxed a bit, turned down the volume of the radio so that I could possibly be able to take a short nap before going back into the crazy buzz of the office, my boss looking over my shoulder so that he can get credit for my work. Impossible to keep sane in that office, I thought, as I closed my eyes.
Then, there was a tap. I sighed, irritated that I can’t even spend my short break uninterrupted. I tried to roll down my window, but it was stuck. I couldn’t even see who it was, since the heat had fogged up my windows completely. I had to open the door, and there he was, pushing me over to the passenger side, shiny knife demanding me to not make a sound.
“I wouldn’t fight, if I were you. You see this? I’m not afraid to stab you with it if it will keep you under control.”
In shock, I wasn’t able to comprehend what was happening. I couldn’t think, much less speak. I sat there, dumbfounded.
“Good girl,” he said, “now put on your seat belt; we’re going for a little ride.”
“Please, sir. I have to go back to work. I will do anything – just let me go. I can give you money, my credit cards…”
“Now, don’t worry. I will make you do everything. If you’re good, you might even enjoy it.” And he grinned at me. He seemed normal. He was tall and big, someone that knows how to control. He seems to have a powerful body, muscles and pretty nice looking face. I wouldn’t mind dating him, only if he wasn’t so ragged and dirty looking. I am being car jacked, I told myself. I have to find a way out. He had locked my doors and he shut off the radio. He would hear me unlocking the door, so no way I was going to risk jumping out. I had to wait until he let me go.
My cell phone rang in my purse. It had to be the office.
“Don’t answer that” he commanded.
“Sir, I know it’s my work. I was supposed to go back in after the break.”
“Well, now, darling. You’re not going back, no are you? Don’t take the call.”
The phone stopped ringing, but a second later, it rang again.
