8:30A.M.

Gary arrives at Schulster & Sons. A store and warehouse that has been closed since the sixties. The paper says the victim was raped shortly before the explosion. That was supposed to have happened minutes after Nine A.M. Gary starts to search for the victim he hears a muffled scream as he tiptoes around the corner. Unfortunatly the abductor hears gary`s shuffling feet. He holds a knife to the woman`s throat and wonders how many people would be in an abandoned warehouse at the same hour. Gary starts heading as quietly as possible in the direction the scream came from, he knows it`s no coincidence it definitly was her. As Gary rounds another corner he sees the victim being raped she catches a glimpse of Gary out of the corner of her eye, the abductor has stripped her of her clothing which is in a gasoline-stenched pile on the floor. He sees she has obviously been beaten too from the view of bruises on her limbs. Although Gary looks quite harmless to her, she still gapes at him in horror,for she suspects he is an accomplice of her abductor. Unfortunatly her staring causes her abductor to turn around...
