"Do you have the stuff?"
"Yes."
"If she every find out about this plan you know there is going to be a long winter."
"No, she's not going to find out by me, I know I am not going to tell her. The question is, are you going to tell her?"
"Tell her and risk her scorn, not a chance, man."
"Okay, as soon as he leave and isn't near anyone we move."
"Okay."
A young man walked out of the building, he had just finished his classes he was on his way to his dorm room. He thought about his girlfriend Carmen. They had been dating for a year now, he was happy. The plan was he was going to clean up and then meet her at the theater for the movie. His father wanted him to call him before he went to bed that night the news was important. He knew he had even bigger news if the question he asked Carmen was a yes. He love Carmen and wanted a life with her. Nothing was going to stop him from being happy.
The part of getting ready for his date was quick, now he had the ring box in his pocket and was on his way to the theater, not noticing the two men behind him. He had cut through the park to get there faster. The park was deserted. He soon noticed the men. Once the men realized they had been seen, a cloth went over the young man nose in front of them. The young man's vision went black.
Carmen looked at her watched again; this wasn't like him to be this late. She could understand five to ten minutes late, but to be an hour late without calling wasn't a good sign. She called her boyfriend's cellphone, but got an answering machine; she left a message and tried not to sound worry or scared. It was time to find out where he was a,t and if he was safe on in some kind of danger . She started to walk to his dorm room; she cut through the park it would make it quicker to get to his dorm room. Carmen was so nervous and worry about her boyfriend she failed to see the two men who grabbed her. It was only when they put the cloth over her mouth did she knew she was in her vision went black she saw the logo on their jacket.
'Damn, they found me.'
