Chapter 2: Confessions
The elevator stopped at the fourth floor and the doors slid open. Alek gave Sydney a slimy smile as she stepped out of the elevator car.
Pulling a card key from his back pocket, he unlocked the door. He held the door open for her with one arm looking at her expectantly. When she walked passed him she felt him move closer to her.
The room was dark, but she could see a bar in the left corner and a king size bed on her right. Directly on her left was a small hallway. She could see two doors that were closed and an open closet revealing only a small suitcase and some empty hangers.
Sydney sat on the end of the bed and took her purse in her lap pretending to look for her lipstick, when in reality she was looking for her sedative spray. All she needed to do now was knock this creep out and inspect his hotel room for the disk she was looking for. As she sat looking for her 'lipstick' she heard the 'click' of the door closing and another 'click' of it locking.
Oh yeah. Sydney thought. God forbid someone could get in.
She took out her lipstick and slowly spread it over her lips keeping her eyes on Alek the whole time. He was watching her lips as they rubbed together spreading the lipstick.
Sydney placed the cap back on as a smile spread across her face. Alek turned toward the bar, reaching for champagne, and she took this opportunity to take the sedative spray out of her purse and hide it in her palm.
Alek walked over with two glasses of bubbly champagne. Sydney accepted a glass and watched with cautious eyes as he lowered himself to the bed.
"How about we make a toast?" Alek said laying back on an elbow.
"What shall we make it to?" Sydney played along and leaned back on one elbow as well.
"Hmmmm," his voice was a low hum. He slid his free hand on her waist and moved closer.
Sydney moved her arm from behind her back that held the spray and quickly sprayed it in his face. It didn't take effect immediately so Alek still had time to mutter a few unintelligible things and get quite a firm grip on her wrist before he passed out.
"Pig," Sydney said under her breath. She looked down at her dress, now wet with champagne.
Grabbing her purse, she walked quickly to the small hallway. The first closed door was on her right. The cool metal of the doorknob was cold on her skin. She gripped the knob tightly and took a deep breath. In one quick movement she opened the door and stood the side.
Everything was quiet: there were no movements. Cautiously, Sydney stepped in front of the door.
She looked up, and brown eyes met steel blue.
