Lori sat at the counter and stared outside, wishing the time would pass fast. The store was quiet all but the music playing from the radio.
She sighed, and looked up at the clock: 6:30pm. Seems like 7pm will never get here. Lori was eager to go home because she knew Skip would possibility be on Icq already. Jamie was next door at Teresa. Lori decided to go ahead and check things out for closing. She entered the cooler to make sure all drinks were stocked, she was facing away from the door, when she heard it open she figured it was Jamie coming in to help her...
Lori was just about to turn when she felt a leather gloved hand clamp down on her mouth and something hard pressing into her back. "Don't make a sound"...I stood motionless, yet my mind began to work. I tried seeing out of the corner of my eye but with no success...This can't be happening...no way, is a joke of some kind, this store is never robbed...He spoke with a deep voice, "I'm going to remove my hand off your mouth, you are to remain silent and do what I tell you too, unless you want me to use this gun on you. It is then he turned me around and I seen he did indeed have a gun...and also a hood over his head...I was so scared...not for myself but for Jamie if she happened to come in the door...I glanced up at the clock, was 7:15pm need to close...
He noticed my eyes going to the clock...he motioned for me to do what I normally would to close...I gather my belongings...keys and lock for the door and we exit...I glance over at Teresa's hoping to see them outside so they would know something was wrong...and even though I prayed for Jamie not to come into the store...I was wondering what is in store for me...will I ever see my family, friends, kids again...He shoved me towards his car...good Jamie and Teresa will know something is wrong when they see my car still here. My whole body was shaking with fear as he shoved me into the car, now was my chance to at least try to get away, but to no avail...he knew what my mind was thinking...he pointed the gun at the windshield of the car as he walked towards the driver side and got in...He said nothing as he reached into the back seat...He had a blindfold in his hand, I'm going to blindfold you and you best not fight me on this, he said as he pressed the gun into my stomach...I nodded my head no...fear over taking me...I began to shake even harder as the blindfold went over my eyes...wondering where I was heading and what was going to happen next.
Then I realized he wasn't through yet...he spoke again..."now this is so you wont try to grab for anything, like trying to find a door knob, as he closed the handcuffs on me... My fear was mounting, my heart was racing.
