Ellen had just arrived back at the Denver airport after spending almost a week visiting her relatives for Thanksgiving. She retrieved her suitcase from the carousel, and headed out to her car. She was recalling the events of the previous five days; the family, the fun, the food. She strode confidently to her car, looking around every so often. She was still cautious even in her home airport. It was a Sunday afternoon, and not very crowded. She figured that most of the holiday travelers would be coming back that evening, which was why she took the afternoon flight. "Why fight the crowd for a couple more hours of family?" she reasoned. She'd see them all again soon enough.
She spotted her car and thumbed the fob on her keychain. The lights flashed in acknowledgement; almost welcoming her home. She lifted the rear hatch of her SUV and proceeded to struggle with her heavy suitcase to get it into the car. She was a petite woman, only 4' 8" tall and just about 100 lbs, but she worked out regularly and watched every morsel that she put into her mouth. She was divorced and on the market, so she knew that the merchandise needed to look good to attract the right buyer, and since, in her mind, the right buyer was a younger man, not much younger, but younger than her 62 years, she had her work cut out for her. Admittedly, she could pass for a much younger woman, but she wouldn't be far into the dating sequence before the truth was known, and since she never let them touch her until the 90-day mark, she had to look good enough to wait for. And she thought she did.
So did the man in the older van that was approaching her. He'd actually been trolling for victims for his new plan, and spotted Ellen. She looked hot. He had no idea how old she really was, but she was small, the dimensions looked good as he passed her the first time, so he'd targeted his first victim (he figured there would be more).
Ellen was so intent on her suitcase that she barely registered the vehicle stopping behind her. She heard the slider open up but by the time she was able to set the case down and turn her head, the duct tape was already over her mouth and an arm around her neck was pulling her backwards. Mitch was confident that, between his van and the open hatch, security cameras could not see what was happening. He grabbed the startled woman and yanked her backwards into the van. He knew he had to work quickly. He rolled her face down and mounted her, straddling her buttocks. He pulled her hands behind her and put on the cuffs, padded ones he bought at a sex store. They had a longer than usual connecting chain so has not to cause too much strain on the shoulders. He then rolled her over, still straddling her and got her jeans undone. He yanked them down below her crotch, turned her over again and left them in a bunch around her ankles so that she couldn't get out or run. He then shoved her against the opposite wall of the van, grabbed her suitcase (easily because he was a loading dock/warehouse worker, used to lifting heavy objects), closed her SUV and locked it with the fob. He shut the door, jumped back into the driver's seat and drove, casually, out of the parking structure. Since he'd only been there a short time, he handed the ticket to the cashier and was waived on through.
Ellen was frantic. When he pulled down her pants, she thought he was going to rape her right then and there, and prayed that the security cameras would catch it and send help. But now, she feared for her life. She knew the statistics of women that have been abducted and taken somewhere rather than raped on the spot. How could she have let this happen? She was cautious; she was alert to her surroundings. One momentary lack of attention had now cost her her life. She began to cry.
Mitch was ecstatic! The plan had been executed flawlessly. He watched his rearview mirror as he left the parking structure and headed for the mountains and his newly refurbished "pleasure cabin", as he described it to himself. He tilted his mirror down to view his bound captive and smiled. He was going to have some pleasure this week!
