Don't take candy from strangers!

James stepped outside for a quick break, he had not been too much of a social person with his neighbors, in fact he did not even know their names, not one of them just as they did not know him. It was Halloween, most people had dressed up, the suburb was very much into the holidays and with so many children about it had grown into a tradition of sorts that pretty much everyone join in for the festivities for the sake of the children, or some bullshit along those lines. James had left a bowl of candy on the stairs of the porch, that was the extent of his participation. His lights had been turned off, adding a sort of creepy aspect to the house given that every other house had lights and pumpkins and so much decorations.

Exhaling his breath slowly, it was a sigh of relief and from effort. He had finally finished getting everything ready, it had been a long two weeks and yet incredibly fast at the same time. In his hand was a cup of tea, it was just what he needed to relax. Sipping on his cup of tea, he walked from the doorway, across the porch to the banister, leaning against the trimming, watching the street in action.

It was lively, hundreds of people of all ages, most of them dressed up. It would appear that even a shopping center on a weekend would seem to host less traffic. He was bemused by the public and how they all got into this holiday, not only that but he was bemused with the parents and how they allowed this sort of thing to continue. What ever happened to Stranger Danger, and that whole thing about not accepting candy from strangers. This was a direct violation of their preaching and yet here they were, letting their kids run around taking candy from strangers. He guessed that in some illogical and foolish view of things that neighbors were exempt from this.

Looking down to the bowl that had held the candy, it seemed that he had seen quite a number of kids coming to his door, the bowl was empty. Crap, that meant he would need to get more out. He had just finished packing too. Sighing to himself, he continued to drink his cup of tea instead of refilling the bowl, it was getting darker now so hopefully there would be less traffic coming his way, after all it was not like he was really advertising his candy in any shape or form.
 
"Ahhh come on mom I don't want to ware this silly red riding hood costume" Amy tells her mother. "I'm to old to be wearing a Halloween costum, I cant believe your making me do this, what if one of my friends see me?" " Come on Amy it will be fun" her mother said, "and besides i have to work and i need someone to watch your younger brother." "But Mom, He's 14 he doesn't need a babysitter!" Amy said. "Exactly," Her mother said, "He's a 14 year old boy and i don't want him getting himself in trouble. Now come on Amy i have to work."

Amy was a shy 16 year old that would rather spend her weekends curled up with a book then be out with other kids her age. She was never part of the in crowd, although if she had wanted she surely could have been with her silky long red hair.. not the orange red but the dark auburn red. she had big blue eyes that would seem to light up when she smiled. Her skin was porcelain white and looked as delicate. Dressed as little red riding hood she would surely fit in with other kids. she was very petite for her age standing just under 5" ... her body had nice delicate curves but not to pronounced to make her stand out amongst the other trick or treaters.

Her and her brother had been out most of the afternoon when he ran into a few of his friends and ditched Amy. " Oh great," she thought, " Moms going to fucking kill me." Her brother was always the type getting in trouble. And if ever there was a night he would get himself into something it would be Halloween. So Amy was canvasing the area looking for the little runt when she noticed a few kids running behind a house .. the house was dimly lit looking like nobody was home. Amy thought one of the kids looked like her brother in his costume. So she went around the house looking for him.
 
James watched as he say a red hooded girl step onto his property, not from the pathway but the garden itself and judging by the direction she was looking she wasn't exactly eying the house but the back yard. Waiting until she had gotten to the point where he was certain she was not interested in coming to the front door before he hollered at her before she got too much further. "Where do you think your going, Red?" His intention was to keep her from going around the back and figured that startling her with a loud and authoritative voice would be the best means of stopping her in her tracks.

Putting his now empty cup down on the small fold up table that had been serving as his dinner table since much of the large furnishings had already been shipped to his new home. Stepping towards the stairs, he intended on confronting the girl face to face. She had no reason to head to his back yard, not that he knew of, and he had not seen anyone pass by through the front yard, then again he had only been outside for a few minutes so it was entirely likely that the people sneaking around the back had been there for more than five minutes or had in fact jumped the fence of one of the neighbors properties , no doubt for nefarious purposes. Young boys and their pranks.

James towered over the red hooded and now red handed trespasser, he stood at six foot four and more than likely had twice her weight or close enough too it with 206 lbs. If his masculine voice had not put the fear of god in her then it is likely that his physical presence would do the trick. Since it was so dark and she was quite slender and diminutive he could not accurately pick her age from the dark, especially since there was a red hood obscuring her features from all angles but front on.
 
" Ahhh" she jumped startled, her head whipping around in the direction that the yell came from. " Oh my god you scared me," she said her small hand reaching up and putting her hand on her chest as if her heart was going to jump out of her.

She saw a large man coming down the front stairs and across the lawn towards her.. Her head whipped around towards the back yard as she saw a couple of kids jump a fence when they also heard the man shout. "Damn" she thought.

She sighed and turned back in the direction of the man who was had just about reached where she was standing. She moved her hand pulling back the hood of the cape letting her long red hair flow down around her shoulders framing her face. " Ah, I'm sorry" her voice though soft and famine sounding a bit aggravated, " I was looking for my brother. I was supposed to be watching him and he took off with a couple of his friends.. and now my mothers going to kill me," rolling her blue eyes as she said that last part. " I thought i saw him and his friends run through your yard and jump over your fence."
 
Smiling inwardly as he heard her audible gasp and comment and saw her hand reach for her chest, he had frightened her, that was just perfect, even more so was the fact that she had adverted her gaze from him even if to look to whatever it was that had interested her in the first place, it was an instinctual response of submission even if it was not consciously noted by the girl herself. He easily caught up with her since she had not budged since he had spoken, the size difference was only going to become worse now that he was inches from her. James had broad shoulders and was muscularly built, not to the refined extent that saw the Governator was back in his hey days, but still it was an imposing figure to present to the tiny, frightened teen.

Listening to her excuse as to why she was trespassing, he did not even need to question her further to hear her story, a good girl, that was his assessment of her. She was likely to be a well behaved girl taught to respect people and to not lie. Why would she have given him such a story without him asking otherwise. It is not like she was likely to be allowed to go back there even if the story was believable and there was further evidence to back his theory up, she had not run like many others would have.

"So he isn't back there now huh?" questioning her about her story not about its authenticity but to confirm that there was nobody in his back yard. "Your brother is a trouble maker right, leaving you to catch the blame from your parents, and now maybe from me too. Let's take a walk around the back to make sure he isn't hiding back there, and to make sure he hasn't done something stupid like vandalize my property." It was insurance, he did not really care what happened, the property was sold and he no longer held the deed so any damage was not really his problem anymore, still it gave him the perfect chance to lead the girl away from prying eyes and gather useful information such as her family name or even her address if there was any damage.
 
His size dwarfed her her eyes looking like that of a frightened doe that was about to be captured by the hunter. She shook her head " No.. I dont think he's back there," and she went on, " I saw some kids jump over the fence back there when they heard you yell so i think he took off." She was chewing her lip, nodding when he asked about the trouble maker and her parents.

When he mentioned about going with her back there to look for him as first she smiled thinking he was going to help her look for the little brat. but her smile was short lived when he went on to talk about vandalizing the property. ... ohhh damn she was going to be in so much trouble.

At no time did it even cross her mind that she should be worried about this man. After all this was her neighborhood and nothing ever happened in her neighborhood right. And this man was one of the neighbors, even though she didn't know him. so why should she be scared, and besides, she had more things to worry about like where that little runt had run off to.
 
James led Amy around the back, surveying the property briefly, it looked like at first glance nothing had happened, that was good, he did not want to deal with complaints from the new owners or anything like that. It would be far too troublesome. Looking down towards Amy, it had looked like despite his scaring her early on that she had calmed down a bit and seemed a little more at ease. "Looks like your trouble making brother was only passing through here by the look of it. For your troubles i will grab some candy from inside, wait right here."

As he turned to face the rear of the house he noticed it, three different tags spray painted on the bricks, still very much wet as if they had only just been sprayed. "Looks like I was wrong, stick around in any case, I will need to grab your address so I can let your parents know what he has done and see if this can be resolved without my need for contacting the police."

Heading to the back door, James headed inside to his box filled house, peeling sticky tape from two different boxes, one was the candy he had promised her and the other had his pen and paper for contact details. The process of getting it all took a number of minutes which would no doubt seem like an eternity to Amy having been left in the dark back yard dreading the punishment that would no doubt await her from either her neighbor or her parents, after all this never would have happened if she had not let her brother run off and fall in with a bad crowd. Funny isn't it how the responsible and well behaved kids copped it when it wasn't their fault for their siblings actions.
 
She was just about to turn down his offer of candy in option of continuing to search for her brother when they both turned around and saw the writing on the wall.

Her stance instantly changed as though somebody had just deflated her as she sunk down a little. closing her eyes and rolling her head to the side and audible sigh coming from her mouth. Oh the little brat she was so going to kill him.

As she stood there in the dark waiting for him to get the paper and pen her aggravation grew, crossing her arms over her chest. She knew she would not get in trouble by her parents ... no he was going to be the one that got grounded, but just knowing she let her parents down and disappointed them was punishment enough. Shaking her head, and he's still out there, how many more houses was he going to do this too. Oh she was going to make his life a living hell when she got home.
 
James emerged from the house once more several minutes later, it had taken time to unpack everything to find it all. Holding the bowl now refilled with candy out towards Amy as he spoke to her "Come on in and help yourself. I have the pen and paper out so you can write down the phone number, address and your surname." He was trying not to seem intimidating, playing the normal neighbor routine, she seemed at ease with him unlike if he were a stranger despite the fact that he was one. He was a stranger, and he had candy, it would be interesting to see if she took the bait and accepted the offer for the candy.

These particular candies were not street legal, they were laced with a potent benzodiazepine. primarily the drug type is used for sleep, Valium is a diazepine, Rohypnol was also apart of the benzodiazepine drug family. All that was needed was for Amy to take a sample of the candy, one single candy would be enough for it to work, more and its effects would be faster and stronger acting. These candies were part of his own medication, there were times when he needed to knock his insomnia on its head and since he disliked the taste of the drug had managed to mask its taste with these lollies.

Acting like nothing was wrong as he offered the candy and asked that she come inside, he was secretly smiling inside, thanking her brother for being a typical teenage rebel. The idiot of a brother she had was going to be perfect fodder. Sure he will suffer for vandalism, but it was the more serious item on the list that he would have to live down, being the cause for his sister to go missing. After all, he had left her all alone with nobody to raise the alarm over her disappearance, would it be morning before she is noticed missing or perhaps later. Teenage girls did like to sleep in during the holidays and weekends it might not be until well after lunch time before the family notices something and even then it might not be noted as being odd at that point.

James' mind swirled with so many thoughts, he might be as far as two or three state lines over before her disappearance is noticed, her family might fall apart with her disappearance sparking tension to push them apart instead of holding them together and the thought of having such a beauty to do as he pleased, it was almost too much to contain behind the stoic visage he had been keeping up. The concerned and wronged neighbor act, he did not need to hold it up very long once a single lolly had been swallowed.
 
Amy watched as James came out of the house, His strong build silhouetted from the dim light of the back porch. She couldn't help but think to herself that it was to bad that he was to old for her, he was rather handsome looking in a rugged way. Ah but who was she fooling, even if he was her age she had always been to shy around the boys anyways. Last spring one of the most popular boys in her school had been asking her out but in the end she turned him down, now the same boy was dating her best friend and her friend couldn't be happier.

She was still looking at him when he handed her the lolly pop. Her hand reaching out taking it with out even thinking it was a natural reaction to someone handing her something.

"Well.."She hesitated, "Well alright, but we really should hurry i need to find my brother before he gets into anymore trouble."

As they walked together she took the wrapper off the lolly pop and popped it into her mouth. She felt her tongue start to tingle .. but it was cinnamon and that was the part she liked about cinnamon the way it made her tongue tingle.

Once inside, the house was still rather dimly lit, but she could see the boxes scattered around the place and no furniture. " Are you going someplace?" she asked, her voice seeming almost disappointed.
 
James smiled as she took the lollipop that had been offered and was elated that she had not needed any prompting to try it out. She was at first glance just like all the others, a trick or treater but he had learned enough from her admissions that it was likely she had only come out here because of her brother, a lack of candy stash of her own was what confirmed it. With that in mind any candy she would get was likely to be eaten immediately rather than stored like all the others. His thought processes had not let him down today, she was playing right into his hands.

Again he was secretly overjoyed that she had stepped inside, now he had her right where he wanted her, there was nobody looking this way, but still, would you commit murder in your back yard or your kitchen, the kitchen has less room for someone to peek, same to held true for drugging a teenage girl.

Replying to her with his acting still in place, "Yes, I am actually leaving tomorrow morning, I had a job over and the commute is not at all possible from here. It would be a pain in the ass to deal with the people moving in with this new graffiti so I figured I could get your parents to fix the problem, a small coat of paint and it will be hidden." Sometimes the best lies are the truth, of course he had made sure not to give away the new place since he did not want to give her any information she could use, whether she would remember it or not. It was not a 100% certainty that she would suffer complete memory blank of the last few minutes with the drug now working on sedating her but still there would no doubt be gaps in her memory.

Stalling her was going to be difficult, she had wanted to leave quickly and that could be a problem. "Write down your address, phone number and surname please." Correcting himself soon after, "Can you write down your brother's name and I am sorry but I don't know your name, it is rude of me not to have asked sooner, but it will help me for when I have a talk with your parents about your brothers bad behavior and how helpful you have been to me." That is it, stall for time explaining everything out, making the perfect excuse as to how to get even more information out of her and delaying her some more.
 
She smiles up at him when he was saying how he was going to tell her parents how helpful she was. That might ease there disappointment in her as well as a little of her own guilt. But even as she smiled she started to feel a little light headed.

" Oh I'm sorry. My name is Amy" and then she turned to where the paper was on the table, everything started to swim out from her for a second. then she started to wright her brothers name with no problem, but when she started to write her phone number down .. she swayed, her hand going up to her head for a moment. " Oh i'm sorry," there was a long pause while she tried to get her thoughts together. " My... my phone umbeeeeeerr..... i seem to have forrrrrrrrrrrr" and then she passed out before she could even finish her sentence.
 
James watched for the tell tale signs, noticing that she was going to be on her ass soon enough, it was surprising even to him that she had fallen so quickly, perhaps it was due to her slender and diminutive stature or that she had already been quite tired, no matter. Closing the door, James went to work quietly, opening several boxes, intent on repacking now that he had additional cargo to carry. It did not take him long to get most of the things unpacked ready for her, he was comfortable with leaving her right where she had fallen just so that he could do a couple of things first.

Locking the house up, James took a quick opportunity to discuss things with Amy's parents, letting them know what had occurred, that their son had vandalized his property and run off and that he had made life hard for their most helpful daughter who was now back in pursuit of their rapscallion son. She wasn't really, she was drugged on his kitchen floor. It did not take long at all, and it provided him with perfect cover despite being a last known witness of the girl, he had given their parents a good story, one that the police would no doubt hear from both them and himself should they want information from him.

Returning back home, he continued on repacking his boxes, making room in a large wooden chest, padding the box with a doona which would serve to not only keep Amy somewhat comfortable despite cramped but also muffle any cries or kicks for help. Ready to place her inside, he carried the waif thin teen with ease, placing her head and torso inside the chest first, having to curl her legs up so he could fit her. To restrict her from making too much noise he gathered two items, a length of rope to bind not only her wrists and ankles but to do so in the one piece. Her wrists crossed behind the small of her back with the rope making sure that her ankles rested near her ass, should she move one limb all of them would have to move, ensuring that any attempt to hit the wood with force would be as weak as an infant banging a soft plush toy against the floor. The other item was a ball gag, that would muffle her screams too.

Leaving the chest opened for now, he went back to packing everything else, taping it shut and focusing on getting things ready. As he had finished the last of the packing he pulled out his cell phone and hit speed dial. "Hey Bruce, I'm done here, you mind bringing the truck over tonight, no buddy, you don't have to help tonight, I just want to get started now on loading some of the stuff tonight so I don't have to spend all day boring you with the heavy lifting. A few things will need your help tomorrow morning, don't worry, I have plenty of beer still, any I leave behind you can tax, bye."

Humming to himself as he was in a happy mood, the only thing that he needed to do now was to check Amy out, the latex gloves and bottle of ammonia were going to fix any issues he would run into. No fingerprints, no evidence. With the latex gloves, he felt Amy up, not for sexual purposes although he did grope her breasts and caress her ass, it was all for the search of identification, and things that could be used to track her such as rings, lockets, or Amy specific items that might have people hunting in a different direction to his, that and cellphones, they could track their movements, he didn't want to be pulled over all because they had put two and two together based solely on the tracking of her cellphone.
 
As Amy lay unconscious, unaware of what was going on around her, she was having dreams of monsters chasing her and grabbing her .. in her dreams she dreamed the monsters where running there hands over her body, groping and feeling her..

Her necklace her father had given to her on her 13th birthday, which she always wore was ripped from her neck.. the huge hands in her dream was searching her again ,, moving over her small body sliding up under her skirt in her dream she could feel it rubbing the silk of her panties that covered her ass then they reached in her pocket, pulling out her cell phone..
 
James enjoyed himself molesting the unconscious girl, retrieving two items that were sure to attract attention, he carefully removed them without getting any fingerprints one them or so much as a hair folicle on them. Leaning over so his lips were just above her ear, he whispered to her "You weren't a very good girl were you. Taking candy from strangers. This is the burden of being a naughty little whore." Leaving her with those parting words, he lowered the lid on the chest and locked the chest. His mate would be over soon, it would be a perfect time for him to take a little walk and dump these items. The skate park or perhaps the back alley near the video arcade might provide the best locations for these offloads. He had a good half hour before Bruce would make it over.

Taking a little walk yet again, leaving the precious cargo locked up safe, James took a stroll down towards the shops nearby, careful to hide the fact that he had latex gloves on and that in them he clutched someone else's property. The arcade was a bit too crowded and thankfully there was nobody at the skate park. tossing the items into the grass near the pathway when he was sure nobody was watching, he continued his walk until he had returned home to dispose of the gloves and dose both his hands and the discarded gloves with the ammonia to destroy fingerprints he would have left behind on them as well as the telltale signs of the metal and plastic fibers on the gloves.

Five minutes later he heard his mate Bruce pulling into the drive way. Perfect timing. He now had another alibi, he was loading his truck up with a mate during the girls disappearance. "Bruce, thanks for doing this, you can crash here if you like, I still have the couches to load up and they arent going on until morning since I planned on using one of them for my own shut eye."

The conversation between James and Bruce was lengthy, in the end they both had started to move things together, getting even more than had been expected done before the night got too late. Between boxes they sipped on their beers and joked about. One of the two completely unaware he was passing by an unconscious teenage girl, bound and gagged, hidden in one of the heavier objects. Was he a victim in this as well, or was Bruce as much an evil bastard like his friend, James. Who knew, maybe one day that answer will be found but tonight it was a chicken & the egg sort of story.

As the trick or treating winded down too, so too did Bruce & James, each one passing out on a couch, getting a few hours shut eye before they could start again at 7am the next morning and hopefully with any luck be done within the hour. James really needed to get things well and truly on the road before 2pm, that was likely when Amy would regain consciousness to the point where the drug would be mostly run out from her system despite the fact it would linger for another 15 to 20 hours after that point but in much more diminished quantities.

Despite his crimes, James was not affected by his morally evil choices, he slept well and without remorse. The wonderful end to his night would turn into a wonderful morning, that was no doubt the likely outcome.
 
Back at Amy's house her parents where fuming about there son. Shortly after James little visit so did the police, They had caught Amy's brother red handed and and now they had to go down to the police station to pick him up. When they got there they where still processing him taking finger prints and pictures. By time Amy's parents got home it was well past 2 in the morning. Her parents where both upset knowing that her brothers little stunt was going to be a pretty expensive one for them.

When they got home they didn't even bother to go up and check if Amy had come home.. She was always a good kid and they never had to worry about her and tonight was no different, and besides if she ran into any trouble she always had her cell phone.

The next morning was Sunday and everybody slept late. The phone rang, it was the police again they needed to see Amy's brother again seems they found more of his little escapade after they left.

Upon returning it was well past lunch time, when they finally got around to checking on Amy her room was empty. Her parents assumed she had just gone out .. nobody even started to worry till after dinner, and even then it wasn't a panic type of worry. They where sure she was going to walk in the door from one of her friends houses any minute. it would still be a few hours before they would even start to call Amy's friends.
 
James woke early the next morning, checking on the sleeping beauty first, noting that it had looked like she had moved very little, he did however check her pulse just to ensure he didn't kill her before he could have his fun, thankfully he had not. Locking it back up, James made two cups of tea and woke Bruce up. Killing time for a little while since it was still far too early to be making too much noise outside, breakfast and showers were the current agenda. Before long however the sun had risen and it was time to start loading the truck once more. Thankfully they had only a few items left to carry, the two couches, the chest containing the most important cargo, a wardrobe and the box of kitchen ware and last scraps of food he had that had been used for breakfast. Bruce complained about the heavy objects, including the chest, even joking that a body would weigh less than what James had packed into the chest. Amusing since what was packed in that chest was a body, and not a very heavy one at that.

It was ten past eight in the morning when the truck finally left his driveway, pulling out into the street, a turn here, a turn there, and soon they were no longer in suburbia but the open road. Driving at the speed limit, James took the highways as much as he could, avoiding rest stops and towns just to make as much headway into his trip. He had a reason to avoid towns, they would slow him down and there was the risk cops might try looking through his truck and find something. James ate his packed lunch as he drove, pushing his limits for rest stops, minimizing his down time so that he could make as much distance as he could. He had already passed through one state line, the local police weren't going to have the authority to chase him now if they wanted him. It would require federal jurisdiction and that was not going to be easy to get with no evidence.
 
"ooowwwww" Amy moaned as she started to wake up from her drug induced sleep. "mmmm" her eyes fluttered.. and opened.. but it was so dark.. at first she wasn't even sure if her eyes where open. She was still feeling the affects of the drug and was still drowsy and disoriented. " Ohhh" where am i she thought. The last thing she remembered was chasing her brother and seeing him jump over a fence.

Her head was pounding. She went to move her hand up to her head thats when she found she couldn't move. She pulled on her hands as something dug into her wrists. her hands where tied behind her back, and she realized that that wasn't the only thing tied her ankles where bound with her wrists. when she would pull one they would all pull and dig into her delicate skin. She rocked back and forth trying to get her hands out from under her.. she was in such a tiny place.. there was soft padding all along the walls when she rocked she could feel it against her skin.

"HAYYYYY LET ME OUT OF HERE" she yelled. She was struggling trying to get her hands free but what ever was holding her wrists where digging in deeper bruising her tiny wrists. "Bradyyyyy! if that's you your soooo dead when i get out of here!" thinking her brother was playing a trick on her. She was rocking her body back and forth trying to move what ever it was she was in. but her all of 98 lbs wouldn't even budge it. Her head was pounding and spinning,, her screams where using up her oxygen fast. finally she fell back to sleep.
 
James had called ahead during the last toilet break for some more friends letting them know when he would be arriving, they had helped him earlier in the week when much of his stuff had been brought over, this was the last of it. In fact, they had been house sitting and taking care of things for him since there were issues that required a attention far too regularly. It was quite the move, he had moved more than 700 miles, it was just under 800 judging by the odometer. The unloading of the truck did not really take too long with several people helping him. The chest was left in the hallway, near the door for the basement. He would deal with his tasty treat when the other left. It was not fun to share new toys, perhaps another time they could try it out but right now he wanted to be the only one.

His new house was quite well designed, the basement was supposed to be some sort of panic room. There were two doors, the first was locked via a digital keypad and at the bottom of the stairs the door was locked via a deadbolt lock. The basement was completely below ground and had been sound proofed under the guise of him needing it as he would be playing in a band with his friends so to not disturb the neighbors.

Once his friends had had their fill of talking with him and had left he finally took note of the chest, knocking on the lid several times until he was sure that she was not awake. Unlocking it and lifting the lid up, again he checked her pulse to ensure he had a live one and not a corpse. Picking her up in one hand, he threw her over his shoulder and punched in the keypad code and took her down the stairs, passing the locked door. He noted that she had struggled only after he had placed her down on the ground, seeing her bruising from the rope. As an act of kindness he undid the rope, but it did not last too long, instead of keeping her free, he only bound her wrists, this time in front of her, her ball gag removed too now that he did not need to worry about sound.

Leaving the girl in the middle of the large, empty basement, heading back up the stairs before he turned off the lights. It was dinner time, he was hungry and his friends had stocked the fridge up for him. The question was however what had they gotten him and did he feel like having any. His prisoner could wait, it wasn't as if she was awake yet and it was no fun to play with a limp lifeless doll. He had all the time in the world to break her in, dinner was more of a priority.
 
As James sat down to eat his dinner, almost 800 miles away Amy's parents where also sitting down to dinner. There dinner was eaten mostly in silence it wasn't until Amy's brother Brady got up and left the table that Amy's name was even mentioned. "I wonder where Amy is, it's not like her to not come home to dinner or to call." Her mother said. "Ah, let her go, she probably just went out with some friends and lost track of time, and besides knowing Amy she probably blames herself for her brother taking off on her. You watch she will come in the door any minute," Her father said. " Hmm, perhaps your right,"sounding not to convinced,"but i cant help but feel something is not right," Her mother said as she got up and started clearing the dishes off the table. Her Husband sat there for a minute before getting up and helping his wife in the kitchen, He was actually starting to also worry about his daughter as well but didn't want to make his wife anymore upset. And besides a part of him wanted to believe his own words he used to ease his wifes mind, he really wanted to believe his only daughter was going to be walking in the door at any minute.
Amy was a straight A student as Jefferson High, not because she was exceptionally smart, no, instead she got her good grades by studying hard. She rarely went out on the weekends with friends instead she would rather stay home cuddled up with a good book. Although Amy was exceptionally beautiful she never worried about what the "in crowd" was doing. As far as her father knew, Amy never even so much as had a boyfriend. He was glad that in this day and age they didn't have to worry about Amy falling in with the wrong crowd, getting into drugs and boys. Yes it was very unlike her not to come home or even call. Pushing his chair away from the dinner table he thought he would give her two hours if she wasn't home by then he would start calling Amy's friends.

Little did he know his little girl lay drugged, unconscious on a cold concrete floor in somebodies basement almost 800 miles away.
It would be another hour before Amy woke up,
and another hour after that before the first call to her friends where made.

An hour later Amy stirred and opened her eyes. The drug still in her system she had no recollection of even waking earlier when she was in the crate. She was in pitch blackness, not even a crack of light shined through anywhere. The floor she laid on was hard cold and damp .. seemed to be seeping the heat from her tiny body as she shivered. Her wrists hurt and when she tried to move them she found they where tied. Panic set in as she started screaming for help. She crawled around trying to get some kind of idea of where she was. Where ever it was it was huge, She must have been crawling in circles for 15 minutes before she could even find a wall. She was crying " Please, please will somebody get me out of here!"
 
James thoughts drifted to what he had downstairs, not just the girl but the renovations that would be required. He had made the necessary preparations for somethings, there had been pipes in the case he wanted a toilet down there, one of the couch's would be pushed through the doorway if not then a mattress. The basement was not very good for long term holding at this point, the lack of facilities, the cold floor would sap her heat quickly and could give her a cold she mightn't recover from. With a few basics he could at least keep her alive and well rather than barely there.

Finishing off his dinner, James prepared a second plate with a smaller serving of food in one hand, in the other he collected a bucket. He was going to check on his prisoner and offer her three things, the bucket was for a toilet until he could sort out the installation of a proper one, the plate of food to ease her hunger and the lights, that he would leave them on after he left. They were good things she should really be accepting, of course what was the price she would pay for it. Was it worth it, most definitely, was her sense of pride going to allow her to agree to the terms or was she going to refuse him, it did not matter to James, if she did have a back bone it was unlikely to last too long since he was prepared to walk out without giving her anything.

Stepping down the stairs after having punched in the key code, the first noise Amy would hear is the sound of the key turning the lock followed by the sound of a door, had she even found the door yet or was she still trying to learn of her new found home. Jame had left the lights off and had closed the door behind him, he did not intend to stray from the door. "It is time for talk little slut. I have brought you some things that I know you will want. Some food, a bucket and the offer of turning the lights on." He left the offer without any stipulations, after all the girl was going to have so many questions and thoughts that he needed to keep it simple. He was glad he got her details down before hand, he had a plan to use it against her.
 
.. Her knees here getting sore from crawling around on the concrete floor for what seemed like forever. Still weak from the drug exhausting herself she had fallen back to sleep, Only to be awoken by the sound of keys in the door. She could hear the sound of a door open and close, but it was still pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Then she heard his voice, the first thing she noticed was his tone sounding so hard and cross, the second thing was that he called her a slut. Never had anybody used that word for her before.

"Who are you?" she asked, "Why am i here? what do you want from me?" A feeling of dread creeping over her.
 
James smirked as he heard Amy respond to him, it was the typical response he had thought was coming, the questions about her being there and not immediately accepting his offer. "I am the man that now owns you, your brother Brady sold you to me, as for what I want from you well I will leave that unanswered for now, in time you will learn of it." Chuckling softly as he made his little sick joke.

"This will be the only time in your life where I will repeat myself so you best be listening. There is some food, a bucket and the offer of the lights to be turned on, each one with its own price. Will you want them or shall I leave you here for another day." James' choice of words suggesting that days may have passed by, perfect to have her question herself on how long had she been down here, and how long had it been since she had eaten. Hunger was a powerful motivator. would Amy resist her own urges and stand by her willpower and fight him or was she too weak to even put up the facade of resistance.

"Time is ticking little slut. If you don't make up your mind soon I will leave you with nothing," tapping his foot on the concrete purposely trying to convey impatience. He was however not impatient, he had quite a lot, if he had been impatient the light would have been turned on and he would have had a knife and before she had even adjusted to the bright light he would have been on top of her, his body between her legs and the knife at her delicate throat. He was playing games with her now, that was not impatient, of course would Amy be able to read the might of a sadistic rapist and see how he lied to her, probably not, it was not a skill set many young people picked up, especially not young people from good homes.
 
Her mind was still a little bit foggy from the drug as she tried to grasp what he was saying, Brady? yes she remembered chasing Brady after he took off on her, and then there was nothing till she woke up here.

She wished she could see this man that was talking to her she had so many questions. Why was she here? and why was this man lying to her? Hell Brady wouldn't have been able to sell his pet hamster. When it came to smarts Brady wasn't always the brightest bulb in the box.


She waited i minute as if to see what the man would do. If she couldn't see him then he couldn't see her. She slowly and quietly started inching herself away from the sound of his voice. She wished he would tell her what the conditions where for her to get the food she was starved and she could smell the food.

And then as if in defiance, and said just to aggravate him instead of the response he had been thinking he would hear she said simply, " I want to go home."
 
James said nothing, silently he turned to the lock and fiddled with the key until it had pushed it in. He was quite happy to leave her to rot for the time being. He had told her he would not repeat himself and that there was a time limit, her refusal to accept anything at all was enough for him. She was not so hungry that her hunger would override her thoughts, not yet at least. Amy would learn that she should not play games with him. If there was a game going on, Amy had nothing but a bluff and James was holding an unbeatable hand.

Time would be on James' side for this, the unchanging darkness would confuse Amy and the time would pass so slowly, how long would she think he had been gone. If she were kept down there for a week would she believe it to be a week, two days or three weeks. With that comes the issue of her needing toilet breaks. Without any place to safely go how would she deal with it and in total darkness was she going to be crawling over it hours later? James had already thought of these things, and as much as having her live in filthy squalid conditions could break her, he really did not want to deal with the smell either which was why he had offered the bucket as a stop gap measure. Oh well, perhaps pissing on the floor would be a humbling experience for her and bring her around to his side.

As for Brady and his lack of smarts, do you really need to be a straight A student to be able to accept $1000 and lead your sister on a chase. Neither sibling had been able to like each other and as a less than intelligent member of society Brady might not have thought through the long term consequences of his actions. It was entirely plausible that he had simply seen the quick buck and taken it without thought. It was not really a far fetched idea, that said, it was a complete fabrication.
