It was Saturday night and it was getting close to the end of Angela's shift. She had learned long ago that dancing was a way of life and she was used to the long nights but her feet were sore and she was light headed from the 2 drinks she had had with a couple of the customers so this made her human and she longed to be in her room fast asleep. The money was good this week though and she couldn't complain about that, this job was the reason she owned an expensive sports car and a house, so she headed back out onto the floor to hustle a little more. Angela had chosen a small green dress that was low cut showing off the generous cleavage of her 38 c cup chest very well. The skirt tapered out a little bit and ended just under her butt cheeks, this not only showed off her long shapely legs it but it also enhanced her hour glass figure. The shade of green Angela had chosen for the dress complimented her waist length copper red hair and made her green eyes stand out. Immediately she felt someone touch her arm and she heard a deep voice ask "Hey sweetheart can you come over here and reveal the rest of that package for me?"
Angela turned around to see who the owner of the voice was and found the same guy that had been bugging her all week to go out with him. The guy's name was Jeff and he wasn't bad looking with his blue eyes, dark hair and goatee but she had no interest in any man after her last relationship, besides he was there everyday even though she continued to say no and that was a little weird in her books. "I thought I told you to go away" she said and then turned and headed in the other direction towards the main bar, Angela didn't scare easy but she had a bad temper and this guy was on her last nerve. "Charlie, can you get rid of that guy once and for all please" she said to the over sized bouncer standing by the bar. "What guy" he asked as he searched the area she was pointing to. "Never mind, as long as he left it doesn't matter" she mumbled and went back to catch a few more table dances before they played the last song.
The night went by faster than Angela expected and she was thrilled when it was time to get dressed and pack up. She didn't rush and was not surprised to find she was the last one out of the dressing room. It was the last day for her in this dive and she was going to be happy to jump into her car and head home tomorrow morning, it had crossed her mind to leave tonight but she had a 6 hour drive and there was no way she would make it there in the shape she was in. She took another glance in the mirror and she assured herself that the green dress was decent enough to wear on the long dark walk down the row of motel rooms to her unit on the end. Angela walked past the d.j booth and stopped long enough to take one last look at the large stage. It was a half circular stage against one wall which was covered by a large mirror, the pole in the middle of the stage was brass and was sturdy enough for the pole work she liked to do, and a runway about 10 feet long and about 5 feet wide protruded out the front amongst the tables around the stage. She was athletic and liked to do some gymnastics in her show so the whole stage had been perfect and she had done some really good shows this last week.
Angela caught sight of the manager sitting at the end of the long bar counting out the cash for the night and she joined him sitting on one of the tall leather bar stools across from him. "Came to collect my millions Tom" she said smiling at him. "I'll give you a million when you sign a contract to work here for the rest of your life sweetheart" he laughed then said "And since men don't like to watch 90 year old women taking off their clothes and squirming around the stage, I can't see you getting that million any time soon", she just giggled. Even though he ran a dive Tom had been able to stay some what decent and treated the girls with respect and she liked him. "I guess I'll just settle for the few measly pennies you pay us then" she finished the statement with a wink, he just shook his head and replied "I could start paying you pennies you know". "And I could start working somewhere else" she threw back at him with a giggle. Tom threw the envelope with her weeks earnings and told her to get out and then as Angela was walking out the door he said "See you in a month babe".
Angela walked out into the cool night air and took a deep breath inhaling deep, after being in the stuffy bar all night long it almost felt like she was reborn. Turning and heading down the long row of motel rooms she shivered a little from the quiet emptiness around her, usually she was walking with one of the other girls and hadn't noticed how far it really was to her room. "I don't remember it being this dark" she mumbled and as she approached the door to her room, just then there was a crunch and Angela felt something under her shoe. She bent down and lit the lighter she held in her hand and found the remains of a light bulb, "God damn drunks" she growled. Making it to her room she had to put her bag down to search for her key, finding it she slipped it into the lock and pushed the door open so she could pick up her bag. She was just turning around to grab the large duffle bag when suddenly she felt something cold pressing at her back and a hand was covering her mouth preventing her from screaming.
Angela froze and had a sudden feeling like her guts were going to fall out. "Just keep quiet, grab your bag, and get in the room and there will be no problems honey" she heard a male voice whisper in her ear, she nodded and obeyed picking up the bag and entering the dingy room that she had been staying in all week. Angela's eyesight had adjusted somewhat to the darkness and she looked around the room and almost giggled when she found herself thinking that it was a good thing she had cleaned the it before she had left for work. She was given a good shove the rest of the way into the room and she heard the click of the deadbolt lock as she lost her balance and landed on the loveseat sofa that was set against the wall when you entered the room.
"Who are you? And what do you want?" Angela asked trying to keep her voice steady so as to hide the fear she felt. She moved so she was sitting up and squinted her eyes trying to get a look at the guy but although her eyes had adjusted to the dark it still wasn't enough to see who her captor was, but it was good enough to catch the gun he was holding in his hand. Angela paused and then repeated her question only this time she sounded scared which still wasn't bad because she was terrified. The stranger moved closer and her eyes widened when she realized who it was. "But you left" she stammered and she realized that this was why Jeff had left, so that he could wait for her in the darkness after smashing all the light bulbs therefore getting her alone and defenseless. Jeff put his forefinger to his lips indicating for her to be quiet, while keeping the gun aimed at her he walked over and turned on the small bedside lamp.
