I have had this idea for a long time. I started it and this is what I got. But then I got writers block and didn't know how to keep it going. But I decided to post what I had and to see if any of you had any ideas. Also this is my first attempt at a case file as well! Please review and tell me what you think or drop me a line in an email. By the way I wish I owned Without A Trace. And on with the story:
ALL TIED UP
In Samantha Spade's bathroom it is hot and steamy. The mirror above the sink has condensation on it from the heat of the shower. The pleasure that is happening in her shower is cut off by the ringing of a cell phone.
"No, no don't answer it." Samantha was able to say.
"Ok." Martin replied a little out of breath. But reaching out of the shower for his cell phone.
"Fitzgerald."
"Martin you and Sam get to the office, another hooker went missing." Jack said into Martins cell phone.
Martin shocked that Jack might know something about him and Samantha simply said "Right." And Martin hung up the cell phone.
An hour later Special Agent Jack Malone was seated at the head of the large conference table while his team sat around the table waiting for his briefing of the new missing prostitute.
"Annabella" joins "Carmen" and "Misty" as the three missing prostitutes who have gone missing in just a week. All three girls are only known by fake names.
Four other prostitutes working the same block all describe the same man:
40's
All in black
Mustache
Black car
"Annabella" was taken in a black Cadillac Escalade, "Carmen" was taken in a black Lincoln Navigator, and "Misty" was taken in a black Range Rover.
"Ok people same thing Annabella, 20 something was picked up last night on Burn Street by a man driving a black Range Rover. "Ella" who reported "Carmen" and "Misty" missing reported "Annabella" missing.
"Why didn't the girls report this last night?" Samantha asked.
"Ella wasn't there last night. A new girl told her this morning she went with a guy in a black car. Ella then called us." Jack replied.
"What's the plan now Jack?" Vivian asked.
"I don't know."
"We have nothing but a man early 40's wearing all black and picking up hookers in black SUV's." Martin said going over some of the facts.
Danny joined in "None of the girls have family that we know of friends, apartments, nothing."
"Ok this is what we do. We get an undercover agent on Burn Street." Jack said.
Vivian asked "who?"
"Me." Samantha says getting up and going to the white board.
Jack quickly says "No absolutely not."
Samantha pointing to the white board where descriptions of each girl are written says "I fit this guy's profile."
All just stare back, realizing she's right.
"Look all three girls are tall, blonde, brown eyes. I go in as bait and he'll lead me to the three girls. Hopefully."
"I don't like this" Martin replied very sharply.
Jack quickly responded "Neither do I."
"I can do this Jack. You got a better idea?"
Jack doesn't have a better idea and Samantha is staring him down waiting for him to give his approval.
Jack finally breaks down and answers "Fine. But we all will pull surveillance. One move that goes south and I'm pulling your ass out of there you hear me Sam?" But now wishing he hadn't come up with the idea of sending someone undercover. Actually sending someone undercover was a good idea just not if it was Samantha going undercover.
Samantha replied yes that she understood his order. And she knew that he would pull her out in a heartbeat if this went bad. And she liked the fact that he was still very over protected of her. But it was kind of annoying when Martin did it.
Around midnight everyone is waiting for Samantha to arrive so they can begin the operation.
Samantha walks into the office wearing knee high boots, a red bra under a much fitted white t shirt and a ripped jean skirt.
Samantha asks "How do I look?" and turns around so everyone can see her. Danny, Martin and Jack all just stare at her.
"Hot." Is all Danny could muster to say.
Jack and Martin cut Danny a dirty look.
Samantha mingles with two other prostitutes. Down the street is a motel and Vivian, Jack, Danny and Martin are across the street in a white van.
Sam walks away from the prostitutes causally.
"You know guys its really cold out here."
Jack snickers "You wanted to do this Sam."
Samantha answers back as black Explorer pulls up "Don't remind me."
A man in a black Explorer rolls the window down and motions for Samantha to come over.
Samantha says teasingly "You looking for a good time?"
"Hop in and find out." The man said.
Samantha gets in the car. They drive to the motel down the street. They go into a room.
"Showtime." Danny says rubbing his hands together.
Martin gives Danny a look.
"So what do you want?" Samantha asks trying to keep the nervous sound out of her voice.
The man just stares back.
"What do you like?" Samantha asks again becoming more uncomfortable.
"It's kinda weird. Lay down on the bed on your stomache."
Samantha complies but she is obliviously nervous.
"Ok what I'm gonna do is tie your hands and one ankle behind you back."
Samantha turns and looks at him.
"I like to tie women up like a cowboy does a calf but my wife wont let me do it to her."
"You want me to wh wh huh?"
In the van everyone is laughing. Agents come in and arrest the man.
"I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't want sex I just wanted to tie her up."
They laugh harder in the van.
"It isn't that funny guys."
"Oh yes it is. You want me to wh wh huh." Danny says mocking Samantha.
Everyone laughs real hard in the van.
Samantha goes back down the street where the other prostitutes are feeling a little embarrassed.
