The thirty-two year old blond looked at her watch and found that it was 3:30am. Anne sat at her computer, thinking about the things she had not accomplished because of her "surfing the net" all evening and early into the morning. She had found a few porn sites and was a little frustrated since it had been awhile since she had enjoyed the pleasure of a hot horny man. The stunning trim figured woman walked into the kitchen to find something to munch on and found the cupboard bare...again! She had forgot to go to the supermarket again and now it was too late to go to the store she normally visited. She thought of a pizza, microwaved in minutes and a glass of wine. The all night supermarket would have to do this morning. She slipped a light jacket over her short shorts and tanktop. Anne knew she was a little underdressed for going out this late at night, but figured "what the hell", it's been hot all day and most women were wearing shorts...but of course not to the market at 3am.
The divorcee of three months walked to her car and drove the few blocks to the large Super Store so she could find that pizza she wanted. As she entered the store she saw only a handful of customers in the large building. Only one register was being manned and she chose a cart and started down the wide empty aisles.
She was glad she wore the light jacket now. It was downright cold in here, and the jacket she had put on to cover her scantily clad body was now helping to keep her teeth from chattering.
She had found the pizza and was at the back of the store looking for the wine counter when it happened.
She felt a sharp object push into her side and she instantly knew it was a knife. A clear but quiet voice said "Don't say a word, or I'll stick this in that beautiful body of yours". She froze in the aisle afraid to breath and held on to the cart she had been pushing for support. The deep male voice again jolted her back to reality as he made his point very clear. "Don't turn your head to try to look at me because if you do.... you're dead meat". She stood as a statue and he pressed the point into the thin tanktop and told her to start walking slowly.
She looked ahead of her and saw no one in the aisle. As they got to an opening in the aisles she looked right and left...still no one. He told her to turn and walk into the next aisle and start walking back to the rear of the store. She did as she was told.
Her mind was blank...she didn't know what to do or say except to obey the person walking behind her with the knife under her rib cage. She walked slowly and as they came to the back of the store he pushed her toward a swinging door with a sign
above it declaring "Meat Market~Employees Only". His left hand guided her thru the door and his right hand kept the knife against her right side and she felt it stick her skin and she was wondering if he had already cut her tanned skin.
Entering the darkened meat market the assailant pushed her to the right alongside the wall where large air conditioners were running at full speed. The sound of the compressors were so loud she wondered for a moment how anyone could work in
