Yet another socialite party Sarah was going to against her wishes. She knew it was good to network, but the constant innuendoes remarks of the men were getting a bit tiring. But yet here she was again surrounded by businessmen in suits and women in tight dresses. Looking around there was one man that caught her eye, standing near the wall scouting the room.
"So, mister spy man, have you found what you were looking for?"
"I beg your pardon?" He says with an astounded look on his face.
"Sorry, didn't mean to be so forward. But, you're here standing by yourself, looking round the room and obviously not drinking any alcohol, kind of makes you look suspicious." She says with a smile and a laugh.
Returning the smile he replies; "Well then, at least now I'm not alone anymore and we can definitely do something about that drink." He takes two glasses of white wine from one of the waiters walking by. " Harry DeVere's the name and you are?"
"Sarah." She says whilst taking one of the glasses.
"So what brings you here?"
"I work on the communications team of the new tunnel in the Thames project. This is my network drink to get in contact with potential future employers, but sadly most of the men I've met so far are more interested in another "secretary" rather than a communications advisor. So what about you?"
"I deal in real estate."
"How very vague. If you keep this up I might actually start to believe you're a spy." She says playfully.
The conversation kept going for at least the next hour, but that's when Sarah realised it was probably a good idea to go home. She started to feel the alcohol in her system building up, as she had more to drink than she should have already at the start of the evening trying to get through conversations with men that weren't half as interesting as the man standing across from her now.
"I'm so sorry. I should go, but I hope our paths will cross again soon." She says.
"I hope so too, very much. Are you going to be all right getting home?" he asks as he walks with her to the get her coat.
"Yes, no problem I'll get a cab and I'll be home in no time."
He helps her with her coat and they say their goodbyes. As she walks outside she feel the cold breeze of the wind hitting her legs.
"I hope I catch a cab soon." She thinks to herself and only a few seconds later a cab appears out of the dark and stops in front of her.
Sarah gets into the car but as soon as the cabbie starts driving a vapour gets released from underneath the seats in front of her. She starts knocking on the see-through divider in front of her but there's no reaction from the cabbie. Opening the door also doesn't seem to work, the door won't open and the windows won't go down. As she is freaking she feels herself passing out, she feels her eyes closing and her body falling flat on the backseat.
Please read and review.
