Micki taps her foot and stands at the bathroom sink. She sighs heavily and closes her eyes. She then bites her thumbnail and looks down.
"Micki?!" Ryan's voice calls. Micki gasps and tosses something in the trash and runs out of the bathroom.
"Yes?" She responds from the top of the stairs.
"Jack and I are going out to the store, you need anything?"
"No...not that I know of...oh Jack remember to get those cookies you like so much, you forgot last time."
"Thank you for reminding me Micki, I've been needing some brain food for when I'm up-all-night researching."
"Cookies aren't exactly brain food Jack." Ryan replies. Jack scoffs and puts on his hat and leaves the shop. Ryan smiles and winks at Micki. Micki smiles back.
"We'll be back in about an hour." Ryan then leaves the shop. Micki sighs heavily and hugs herself. Suddenly the bell rings on the wood of the door.
"Did you forget something?" Micki looks up and is startled by a man holding a knife.
"I...I'm sorry...we're closed and I..."
"There was a hairpin... my girlfriend was using it to make us some dough...saw this guy and this old guy steal it...and they brought it here...where is it?" The man speaks out harshly.
"I...I don't know anything about it."
The man walks up the steps to the middle of the shop.
"Don't make me look for it..."
Micki trembles and runs for her room. The man chases after her. Micki reaches the kitchen and the man grabs her and pushes her up to the table. Micki screams.
"Where is it?!" He yells loudly. He then begins to choke her. Micki gags then let's out a scream.
"Alright, I'll show you!" She screams.
"That's a good girl..."
Micki sighs heavily as he slowly releases her.
"But you try anything, and I'll cut your throat."
Micki trembles and she enters the bathroom.
"It's um...it's in a box...under the sink here..." She mutters.
"Well...get it out!" He shouts.
Micki jumps at the sound of his voice, she then bends down and opens the cabinet under the sink. She looks through it nervously.
I...I can't find it."
"Get out of the way!"
The man then violently pushes her. Micki hits the floor and looks up at him. He throws things out from under the sink and then glares at her.
"You weren't lying to me...were you?"
"No...please..."
"Where is it?!"
Micki screams as the man comes at her with the knife.
"No!" Micki cries loudly. She then backs up into a corner of the bathroom. "I'm expecting!"
