No Way Out
Angela opened her eyes and shook her head to focus on her surroundings; she was lying on a small bed in a small, windowless room, the only light was from a small table lamp on the bedside table. She tried to move her hands to her head but found that they were handcuffed to the bed rail. Finally the door opened and she saw a man enter.
"I see that you are awake," the man said with a smirk on his face.
"Why am I here?"
He smiled asking, "Don't you recognize me?"
She tried to focus on him, he was an older man, possibly in his late 40s, he looked familiar but at the moment Angela did not recognize him "no should I?"
"You don't remember me? You should, we meet a long time ago; don't you remember? You were eleven years old. Remember Anastasia?" At that moment Angela knew exactly you the man was and a look of pure hate burned in Angela's eyes.
"See I knew you remembered me, don't you Anastasia? I told you that Tim Ross would not go to prison and I would come back, didn't I? But by the looks of things you didn't wait for me." Tim said as he played with a lock of Angela's long hair.
"What do you want?"
"Revenge, I want your husband and the other Rangers dead. And I want to finish what we started, I hope you like your room Anastasia, you of all people know what the cellblock is like. I just thought you would like to be comfortable until you have the baby. You know, I wonder if you can still make the best money out of all the other girls like you use to."
"You're forgetting one detail Tim, the baby, you know as well as I do that the buyers don't go for pregnant women."
"My dear Anastasia, you also remember the deal with the babies: when the baby is born the mother is sold as soon as she loses all the baby weight. And if it is a girl, she is raised by the nannies until she is old enough to get a good price, then she is placed in the cell block until she is sold; and if it is a boy, he dies."
"You won't get away with it this time Tim."
"I all ready am. I took every precaution, for example the hand cuffs on your wrists I did not use rope this time…" Tim continues to boast about every precaution he has made so that Angela would not get away. Angela silently prays that Michael will find her before its too late.
Tim goes to walk to walk out the door.
"Enjoy the time you have left because it looks like the baby will be coming any day now. And to save you time if you were to break lose this room only has this door and guards are standing by, there is no way out and if you cause trouble you will find yourself in the normal accommodations faster than you will be able to realize what happened."
