She should have guessed it. A queasy feeling hit her as she passed the warning signs. It sends a shiver down her spine .
The area was deserted, what deepened her dilemma, because she couldn´t ask for directions .
The last time that Alice was going through an inhabited region, was hours ago. There she had the possibility for refueling and also asked for the direction.
But here, she clearly lost the right way. And it´s getting dark.
Her white , from the desert sand polluted VW Beetle almost choked when she engages the second gear to drive slowly through a restricted gateway. The keeper's house was not occupied. She could make out the reflective items of a barrier on the roadside.
"There has to be somebody. " Alice was almost frightened of her own voice. She looks intently out of the car into the dark. Perhaps it would be better to turn around to park the car and taking a nap.
After nearly 2 miles down ahead, the road ends in a parking lot.
Alice starts to turn her old beetle on the empty parking lot, with a lot of momentum. She recognizes a van which had been crashed into the entrance of the building, which is adjacent to the parking lot.
Alice freezes and brakes with squealing tires. She unbuckles the seat belt and rummages frantically in her backpack for the cell phone to call an ambulance .
Suddenly somebody opens the door. Someone grabbed her with strong hands on the left arm and drags her out of the car seat. Alice reached out and hits the attacker with her backpack, and sprints off. But how far could she possibly get away without a car in this deserted area?
"Damn! " Curses the unknown panting from behind her. "You can not escape! "
No shit! Alice did not look back. She just sprints further into the darkness. A loud bang is heard and her right leg suddenly gives in. She rolls, turned off and wants to jump again, but her leg gives way again. She feels a violent blow on the head and gets unconscious.

A throbbing pain brings back her consciousness. Her head pounds and in her thigh she felt a dull throb. When Alice tries to move a stabbing pain took out her senses briefly. She moans from torture and recognizes two men who were talking about her.
"Calm down! I will never sell the device without testing it at least once. The girl is the perfect guinea pig. I guess no one will ever find her.", hisses one of the voices. A chair squeaks.
Alice opens her eyes and winces as a bright light blinds her. She sits up and realizes that she was in her car.
"Hey Miss! You will write history. " A lean guy with glasses informs her. He seems to be the one in charge of . Two other people were with him. Both masked, armed and voiceless. All three sat in a shielded chamber behind a disk.
Alice looks around in panic . "Please, just let me go! I don´t know anything. " Her car was parked in the middle of a hall. Alice looks around for an exit .
"Don´t panic! .. I am already looking for a goal. You will be far, far, far away soon..", grins the thin man. He types something on his console and a deep rumbling starts.
Alice feels a prickle on her skin. Everything below her seems to move and vibrate . Frantically, she starts her car.
Get out of here ! - was her only thought. Then everything starts to move and disappear around her. Alice was not there anymore.
I think you already guessed it - english is not my native language :) So feel free to help me correct my mistakes. I thought it was a good idea to improve in writing in english.
