I am running. I am lost.
I run down a dark, wet road. Someone is chasing me. Not sure who. I duck into some bushes, diving over a wooden fence.
Who am I? I feel a bulge in my pocket. I pull at it. It's a gun. I notice also, there is a knife strapped to my ankle. I look around. I am in a neighborhood. It's all familiar to me. I think I have been to this house before.
I go to the back door. It's locked. Using my elbow, I break open the window above the door knob and I let myself in.
Not turning on any lights, I don't need them. I go down the hall in the dark. I must have been here before.
I walk into the bedroom. You are lying there. Fast asleep.
I sit at the end of the bed. Turning on the flashlight, I shine it in your face.
You are sleeping, out like a light. I use the small penlight to trace your body. The long slender legs, leading up to the pussy I have known so well. The light illuminates your flat tummy, your ample breasts. The cute little chin becomes apparent, as does the beautiful blond hair.
Suddenly, after seeing you, it all comes flooding back. The codes, the terrorists, the double cross all comes flooding into my mind. Most of it does, not all. I need answers.
I take some cord and silently, stealthily, slip to pieces of cord around your wrists, bounding you to the bed. I pull it taught, causing your arms to be gently pulled to the headboard. Amazingly, you don't stir. I re take my seat.
"Wake up," I say in a strong, stern voice.
You start awake, obviously disoriented.
"Who is there? Jim, your here?" you ask.
"You seem surprised"
"No. You're just late is all."
"Shannan. Or should I call you Jade? Let's cut through the crap, OK? I need answers."
"What? Answers about what?"
"Don't pull the supportive-lover crap. I know you sold me out. I said, let's cut through the crap."
"I don't know what your talking about, I said! You're scaring me!"
I walk over to you, pulling the knife from my ankle. "I said we should cut through the crap. Or maybe I will cut through something else."
You look calm, calmer than you should be looking. "Jim, hun. Calm down."
"Oh, I am calm."
I sit next to you, as you stare at me, defiantly. You attempt to look sympathetic. You try and keep up the facade.
I run the blade of the knife along your ear, down your cheek, and under your chin. I pause at you throat.
I notice a trickle of sweat rolling down your cheek. "I could end this right here. Fucking bleed you."
"Psycho," you say.
"Ah. I see the Jade has kicked in. So is Shan gone for a while?"
You spit at me.
I run the knife blade down your throat. Your breath fogs the blade.
I run it over your breasts, as they push out against your t shirt. I turn the pointy edge over, so that they catch the material. With a flip of my wrist, the shirt is splayed open, like a filleted fish.
"You know," I say, as I run the blade over your tits, over your nipples, to the underside of your breasts, "I have always wondered if these are real. Are they?"
