Her mood could not have been better. She had arrived the day before, knowing that back home everything was settled. Her former boyfriend had finally realized that it was over. Her boss had given her three weeks of vacation and she had recovered from the flue. So, everything was good. Even the sun seemed to be in a good mood. It had shone from the very first moment Stephanie had sat foot on US-Soil.
Stephanie had a good Hotel and enough money to spend. How good could live get?
In the morning the young woman had left the hotel for her first big shopping adventure. She knew that there was no better town in all of the United States to do shopping than New York. She took a cap to Fifth Avenue and left it in front of the biggest mall she had ever seen. She looked up and could barely see the top floor.
- Perfect. I’ll shop till the credit card glows -
And so a young woman in an expensive silk blouse and equally expensive pants entered a shopping paradise. She was in her best mood. But that would change.
But at this time she didn’t know. All she knew was that she wanted to forget all the tears of an ended relationship. And she would forget.
Stephanie spent the whole day in the biggest mall of the country. She went from boutique to boutique, spent a lot and had a coffee from time to time. Around three in the afternoon Stephanie got a little tired. She went to one of the bigger restaurants and had a decent meal. She called her American friend over her cell phone and spent way too much on her phone bill. But she did not mind at all. Once an old lady had said something funny that Stephanie still liked very much...
- Spend all your money ... cry later -
And for now that was her life philosophy. Around six Stephanie left the joint and went on shopping. She thought about buying a dress and so she smiled when she stood in front of the most expensive boutique ever.
Attention all customers. Due to special circumstances, today we are being forced to close down the mall early. Please proceed to the nearest exit.
Stephanie looked up to the ceiling and nodded. On one hand she was a little disappointed since she was still in the mood for wasting her well earned money. On the other hand she was even grateful since her body was crying out loud for some rest.
- All right then. If they don’t want my money I’ll leave -
But then she realized that she needed to go to the bathrooms first. She obviously did have way too much coffee. And so the young woman locked away her newly obtained belongings and looked out for the signs that would show her the way to the mall’s bathrooms.
In order to find the bathrooms one had to enter the corridor that also lead to the malls offices. Those corridors were badly illuminated. And to put a worse in the idea there were only small signs with ‘bathroom’ on the walls. Stephanie exhaled and shook her head. What kind of idiot had created this mall?
One minute later she found her destination. Though the facilities were on the top floor and Stephanie had to shake her head because she did not understand the architects mind to locate those important rooms in the most remote area of the mall, she smiled and entered the lady’s room.
Finally Stephanie felt better and exited the bathroom. Slowly the young woman led her steps back to the shop area. Or so she thought.
Her first worry kicked in when she again heard the voice of the mall’s announcer. But this time it was so low, so distant that she instantly began to wonder if she had taken the wrong corridor. She stopped and looked around.
Stephanie’s heart began to beat faster, her pulse went up.
"Oh no. Please don’t ..."
But she knew that she was lost. The young woman kicked one innocent wall and bit her lip. She went back into the direction where she had come from.
Twenty minutes later Stephanie still hadn’t found the exit.
"Nooooo! "
She was screaming with frustration.
"God dammit. "
She leaned against a wall and closed her eyes for a minute.
"Quiet Stephanie, quiet. "
After another minute she opened her eyes again and pushed herself from the wall.
"All right. Let’s find the exit. "
And so she started walking and hoping again. And then, after almost half an hour she found it.
Light brown steel doors blocked her way to the shopping area.
Stephanie stood in front of them, glaring at the steel, not believing what had happened.
They already had closed the way to and from the offices and the bathrooms.
"Idiots! "
Stephanie’s otherwise very innocent features distorted into a grimace of raw frustration and hate. Again she kicked something lifeless and shouted into the cosmos her frustration.
Her heart was pounding and the only thing Stephanie could hear was her blood rushing through her head. She started sweating, her short dark-brown hair was sticking to her head, and panic arose.
"Calm down ... calm down Stephanie. You will make it. You will...! "
There had to be a way out of hear. And then she remembered her cell phone. Quickly the young woman pulled it out of her purse. One moment she did not know whom to call, but then she did not spend much time with those worries. She just punched the re-dial button. Her New York friend would do.
Excited she put the phone to her right ear and heard ... nothing.
Confused she looked at the display only to see that there was no connection at all. Again she hit the re-dial button. Nothing.
"No! "
It was of no use.
Trying to stay calm, Stephanie put away the small phone. She knew if she would use it again only to see it wouldn’t work, she would throw it against the nearest wall.
What else?
Maybe she could find the offices. There she would find phones. She would call for help ... would...
For the first time in an hour Stephanie smiled. Yes, there was hope.
In a far corner of the office department a young man sat on the cold floor. He was crouching underneath the big windows that curved outward and gave a magnificent view of New York City. But this creature did not mind about views. He felt pain in every cell of his thin body. Nothing he could think of, nothing good. He was only longing for relieve. But no relieve was in sight. If only Jack had given him a little for free. That would have been ... a relieve.
The pain got stronger with each passing minute. Underneath all that pain there was the need for food. He just couldn’t remember when he had eaten something. And even though he found it funny himself, there was another urge.
The urge to be with a woman.
Too long had it been since Libby had left him. And he was the unfortunate guy who did not get a new girl. And so, underneath the longing for the drug and the need for food, he wanted to fuck a woman. If only he would find one. He was so desperate that he would grab the first attractive woman and he would tear away her cloth, he would pull down her panties and then....
Yes, he would fuck her senseless. If only he would find a girl.
She did not hear a thing. Nothing. Just, plain nothing. On her way through the manila colored corridors Stephanie heard nothing but the sound of her shoes on the dark linoleum. But, no, that was a lie. She actually heard the pounding of her heart. She felt the rising fear in her body. She was all alone in this huge building. And she doubted that anyone would have heard her if she had screamed through the thick metal doors at the entrance to the shopping area. But that did not matter anymore ... anyway. Now she had to find an office with a phone. She only hoped that the clerks wouldn’t have locked their offices. But that she would have to worry about when she got there.
There, ahead, there was light, at least more that the dim light that shone from the night lights. It was different. And when Stephanie turned around the corner she saw the wall of glass. A huge window front that let her have the most magnificent view over Manhattan.
And for a short moment the young woman with those short cut dark brown hair was impressed. But then her fear kicked in.
- I have to find a phone -
She knew those words had become a little stale after she had been repeating them about a thousand times in the last half an hour.
But Stephanie couldn’t help it. She was afraid to spend the night in this huge, empty building. And there she would be, confined to a closed section, like a holding cell with ... those huge windows. She stepped closer to the window front and exhaled, a little exhausted. Putting her hands on the steel bar that was running in front of the glass front she starred into the upcoming night.
The city, down below, was still in a rush. Car after car ran by. It was like a never ending snake, running through the mountains of the city.
She still couldn’t figure out how all of this had happened. She had only wanted to go to the bath room. She had been there for such a long time. And normally the mall wouldn’t close this early. How in all of the world had this happened?
Stephanie shook her head. No sense in thinking about it. The only thing that mattered was to find a way out of this mess. And so she decided to turn away from the windows and go on with her search for a phone. But this was only a decision she made. She never had the chance to put it into action.
A hand came down onto Stephanie’s left shoulder. Fingers pressing real hard into her neck.
She screamed in pain and her knees instantly became weak. And so the young woman went down onto her knees, not believing, not knowing what was happening. When she finally realized that something was terribly wrong, she looked up. She looked up into the face of a young man. But it was no one who would make her smile or at least remotely comfortable. She looked into distorted features, raging with hate, with needs she would have to fulfill.
He had found his victim. If he would have been sober, he would never have thought that something like this could be possible. But he wasn’t, and so it didn’t matter. He thought that this was the logical ongoing of the thoughts he had before. There were those needs of ... having a beautiful woman ... those needs of.... sticking his cock into the wet and narrow ... pussy...
And all of a sudden there he had found her. Young ... a...
