He removed her blindfold and she stared around. She was tied to a chair and her arms hurt. There were three men in the room with her, two of whom she had seen before. Tux and Solly as they called themselves. Tux was the taller of the two, his muscular features made him resemble a huge gorilla. He had arms that looked like they could smash through a brick wall and also acted the part. He grabbed her face and said, "you will tell us everything you know about Caesar or I'll get rid of you". Catherine couldn't say a word, tired from her struggles she closed her eyes. Two weeks ago, she had her normal life, boring but not as worrisome. "Now, now Tux, don't be so hasty," Solly said as he let out a smile. The third person had said nothing all this while. He was at the far end of the room, leaning against the wall with one hand clutching his Ak-47. "Connor" Solly called out, "do you mind doing some scouting. He nodded and left the room.

Just then, someone else came through the door with two other guys, probably bodyguards. "Why" Solly screamed in ecstasy. It's good ol Johnny and with that shook his hands. He sent you?, Of all people, Solly continued. Well, you know how he is, busy and all Johnny replied.

I thought we had a no abduction policy, the newcomer retorted staring at Catherine. She wasn't co-operating, what did you expect me to do". Solly replied. Well then, the newcomer continued, the boss wants you to do nothing till he gets here, got it?. Sure...of course, they both replied. He raised his hands and did a salute gesture. Well then, I'm off, the newcomer said and walked away.

Tux had reached his limit on patience. "Let me have her. I'd get her talking in no time" he said, looking at Solly as if asking for some sort of authorization. No! Solly replied. The boss wants her unhurt. Just then Catherine muttered under her breath "this is the third time I've been kidnapped this week, it's getting old". At least shut the bitch up, Tux said as he got up and picked up a piece of cloth from the desk and proceeded to gag Catherine. Wait Tux, Solly called after him. Johnny said to do nothing until boss.....I don't care what that old geezer says, Tux cut in. Just then, Connor walked in and whispered something in Solly's ear. It was rather disturbing as his countenance changed immediately. He stamped his feet, buried his face in his palms, and muttered "I didn't sign up for this". Tux the more aggressive of the two seemed to be smiling as he kept toying with his gun. Finally, I get to teach some punks. gunshots rang out again, this time shattering the windowpane. Get her down, Solly screamed as fragments of glass scattered about. Connor stays with her, Tux! You're with me, let's go! And with that, they both scurried out the door.

Connor moved closer to Catherine, staring intently. It felt like he had a grudge. Catherine kept staring at the floor in a bid to avoid his unpleasant gaze. He suddenly brought out a jagged knife and went up behind her. He grabbed her hands, frightened, Catherine tried to scream but the cloth muffled the noise. Relax! Connor growled I'm not gonna hurt you. He cut the piece of rope that was used to confine her to the chair but left her gagged. He came up to her, "I'm only gonna say this once, so listen hard". In 10 seconds I'd take your gag off and you're gonna make a run for it. Go through the back, there's a bike out there. He tossed a key at her, drive to the fountain at Glen Park ASAP, someone's waiting for you. He removed the piece of cloth from her mouth. She coughed and spat then gathered the courage to look him in the eye. How would I know this person, she asked. You would, he replied rather coarsely. Now get out of here.

She bolted, as fast as her legs could carry her. On getting out, she spotted an X-75 Hurricane (Triumph) motorbike parked near a blue sedan. She hurriedly got on and turned the ignition, it's the one "she said, almost smiling" Mark used to own of these. Gunshots still rang out, there was some sort of gun battle going on. She was still perplexed at how she managed to get caught up in the mess and what connections her boyfriend had to it. Even at death, he still won't let me be. "Mark, such a nice scrape you've got me into, isn't it," she said and let out a sigh. Out in the middle of nowhere, it was a perfect place for a kidnapping.

She drove to Glen park, a mysteriously comforting park. She usually spent her evenings here laying on the smooth grasses or tossing pebbles into the well, pretending they granted wishes but today was different.
There were many people in the park, as usual. "You'd know em when you see em huhn!" So much for a vivid description", she said and buried her face in her palms. She parked the bike in a corner and went up to the fountain. There were two lovely couples and a little girl by the fountain, they didn't seem to fit the profile. She picked up some pebbles and tossed one into the fountain. "I knew I'd find you here" a voice came from behind. Tilting her head in his direction she asked "who are you". He was wearing a blue or black denim jacket on a pair of jeans with a cowboy hat that seemed to conceal his face. Ignoring her question, he continued "you never stopped doing that, did you" he said as he laughed a little, pointing at the pebbles in her hands. Catherine froze, that annoying high pitched laughter, don't...tell...me. Seeing he had his effect on her, he removed his hat and smiled, "hello Catherine".
