Having just returned from vacation - a week skiing in the mountains - Amanda wondered at the email she received from her best friend, Roxanne. The message said she was ill and needed Amanda's help. Amanda wasn't due to work until tomorrow night where she had a gig in a small club south of the city. She was a singer and bass guitar player in a Rock Group that she hoped someday would make it big. She worked at a retail store and played cello with an orchestra and still money was tight.
Amanda left her small apartment (where she sometimes brought men to pick up some extra cash). She was an appealing 5'9", about 130lbs, short curly blonde hair, curvaceous girl with lavender eyes that men said were mesmerizing. Not knowing what she would need to do for Roxy, she wore low rise tight jeans, black heeled boots and a tight purple tee shirt that showcased her very generous breasts. She walked quickly, enjoying the brisk morning, catching the bus to her friend's building.
Thinking and worrying about Roxanne, she never noticed the two men that followed her into the back entrance of Roxy's apartment house. Wanting to use the back elevator, she quickly ran up the steps leading into a dim lighted stairwell. Suddenly two sets of hands grabbed her roughly. Arrrrrrrrrrrrwk, WHAT THE...........-a hand slapped her hard and covered her mouth. Terrified she tried to break free but Amanda was being held tight by strong, muscled arms. She panicked as she tried to hit back at them and they weren't letting go. She had no money so what could they want? As she tried to see who was grasping onto her Amanda felt her hands wrenched behind her and the cold metal of cuffs as she heard the "snick" of the locks. She again began to struggle trying to get away from the cruel hands - mmmmphhhh, pppphhhhm. They hit her several times until she could no longer attempt to get away. The man got close to her and growled, "enough whore - we don't want to hurt you........yet" - and he tied a black nylon scarf in her mouth (almost gagging her) and around her head.
As Amanda tried to struggle and scream she could feel her saliva dribbling down her chin. Her heart pounding, she went limp as she felt strong hands groping her body. She thought she might be on the verge of passing out from the fear, but was fighting hard not to - trying to think what she could do. Why was this happening to her? Who are these men and what do they want with her? They continued to tie Amanda's legs and feet as a hundred questions flew through her mind. She knew that to continue fighting was hopeless as she felt them pick her up and carry her to a waiting van in which she was thrown into. She began to shake as what was happening set in and she wondered if she would ever see the light of day again?
