Chapter
One
She
didn’t want to run. The person behind
her was getting closer. She started
running. He moved faster. She ran to get out of Malex
parking facility. Every ounce of energy
went into her feet. She glanced behind
her, slowed her speed, and kicked her shoes off. He had a mask on his face. She threw her pocketbook on the ground and
ran faster. She glanced behind her. He ran passed her purse. Her heart pumped faster.
She
rushed around the corner. He was inches
from her body. The veins on her face
turned red. He grabbed her by the
neck. Spit plunged through her
mouth. “Please don’t hurt me,” she
cried. She pointed. “There’s money in my
purse.”
“Shut
up!” He forced his hand over her mouth
and dragged her backwards. He moved
swiftly through the large gray columns that held the Malex
building together. The parking lot
stretched six hundred feet in length. It
was four hundred feet wide. The ceiling
stood seventy feet from the ground.
There
was a path in the middle. On both sides
were six rows of twenty foot columns.
There was a door around the right corner. The path in the middle led to another
door. It led to the interior of the
building. A room stood on the left side
of the lot. It hid behind the
columns. It had one door and a window. The window faced the Malex
building. The interior was painted in
gray. It had average lighting. No cars were in sight.
Her
eyes opened wide. She struggled in his
arms. He pulled a sharp knife from his
pocket. It made her calm. His left hand covered her mouth. He pulled her by the neck towards her shoes
and purse. He picked up her shoes and
stuffed them in his pocket. He picked up
her purse and put it around his neck.
The empty room was his destination.
The
room was used to store garbage. It was
large and spacious. Neatly stacked black
garbage bags leaned against the walls.
He cut the straps of her bag and tied her hands behind her back. He stuffed paper in her mouth and tied it
tightly. He shoved her on the
ground. She fell at the right corner of
the room. It was 2 a.m. He sat next
to the exit. He crawled closer to
her. He grabbed her feet and brought her
to him. He sat beside her with his hands
wrapped around her waist. She had a
terrifying look on her face. She
couldn’t move. His hands were squeezing
her.
