In a small dimly lit room three women were being held against their will. The first two victims were handcuffed together to a radiator on one side of the room. There was a mattress for them to lay on when they needed to sleep. They were both whispering to each other and crying. On the other side was Catherine Evans. She was handcuffed to a bed post. All three women were given a blanket and pillow. They heard the door scrape open. Catherine opened her eyes. She was beginning to feel fear but her anger threatened to rage over.
A man stood in the darkness and said, "Well Ms. Evans I hope you are happy." He walked into the room so she could get a clear look at his face. "Cause your little stunt with the carving knife has cost me a man."
She said angrily, "Good."
He laughed, "Tsk. Tsk. Didn't think you would be so cavalier in taking a human life."
She replied, "Well sometimes we can surprise ourselves."
"Well your little show of strength either will cost me or make your more valuable."
"Maybe you could just let me go and you won't have to worry about it."
He laughed again, "Unfortunately my dear that will not happen." He took her chin and look into her eyes. "I think I may just keep you for myself."
With her free hand she tried to slapped him. He grabbed her wrist before it could make contact. He squeezed it until he saw her visibly wince. "Now I'm beginning to see your fear." He walked away from the her to the other women. "Don't worry ladies you will be gone from here soon. Your price has been set."
Natalie and Aja started to cry and beg to be set free. The man started to walk out of the room when his cell phone rang.
"Yeah. Hmm? It can be arranged. Do you have a gender preference? No? Good then your price will be let's us say more palatable."
After he left the room Catherine finally allowed tears of fear to spill down her cheeks.
