All of a sudden, conscious returned. She opened her eyes but she couldn't see. She automatically started whispering "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change", feeling returned to her arms but not to her hands "Courage -..." sweat ran down her face, or was it tears? "Courage damn it!, to change the things I can" she tugged at the rope that tied her hands behind the chair "And wisdom-" she smirked. The ropes were securely fastened around her ankles too. "Wisdom is a notion that's up for debate today..."
The lights came on, pointing directly at her face, leaving the rest of the room emerged in black.
"Who's there?" Kate yelled.
"Did ya learn that one from your ol' man?" a man's voice taunted.

Kidnapping a law officer is a federal offense, I suggest you - ..." Kate was cut off by her captor's bold laugh. Her eyes failing to pierce the darkness, all of her body kept in a tight state of alert.
"You suggest?", he paused and sighed. "See?, I find that sorta funny..." His footsteps broke the silence as they moved farther away "... because it seems to me that you've got that one assbackwards my dear."
