The night went well. Tommy took her to a nice Italian restaurant just outside of town, then after they took a walk at the park. It was a beautiful night, the moon was full and at its highest peak. Tommy had removed his jacket and placed it over Riley's bare shoulders. "Better?" He asked. Riley looked up at him and smiled. "Much, thank you." She said as they continued walking down the path. Tommy draped an arm over Riley and pulled her closer to him. "Did you have a nice evening?" He asked her. Riley nodded. "Very, thank you. What about you?" They stopped to sit down on a bench. "The best I've had in awhile." He said, smiling at her. "The way the moon touches your face, and your hair, is absolutely breathtaking." He said as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Um, thank you." She said nervously, smiling at him.
He leaned in and kissed her forehead, but moved down to her mouth, kissing her deeply. From his pocket and brought out a needle and stuck it in her neck, injecting medicine in her blood stream to knock her out. Riley pulled back with a start, her hand going to where the needle was injected. "What the..." She didn't get to finish her sentence before blackness enveloped her and she was laying against Tommy. Smiling, he picked Riley up, making sure to grab her purse, and carried her to where his car was parked, where there was now a dark blue van. Two men emerged from the front and upon Tommy's instructions, tied Riley's wrist with cable ties and blindfolded her, placing a piece of grey duct tape over her mouth before shoving her in the van. "Take her to the company and tie her up in one of the cells, make sure to keep the blindfold on until she's in a chair, and keep her tied up and gagged." He said. The two men nodded and took off.
Smiling, Tommy took out her phone and opened it up. "Ah." He said, finding the number he was looking for. He sighed when it went straight to voicemail.
"Ah, Alex, or shall I say, two-seven-five-four-two-one-two." Tommy said coolly. "I bet you are wondering why this isn't your beloved Riley's voice- well, mate, she's in a bit of a bind right now." Tommy got into the car. "You have forty-eights hours to get to the company, I'm sure you remembered where it's at. For every hour after, we'll be marking your pretty little girlfriend up, more ways then one. She has tasty lips- might have to start with her mouth. Tick-tock." Tommy hung up after he finished leaving the voicemail. He raced down the highway and tossed the cell phone out the window and turned the rock music up.

Riley blinked her eyes. She felt groggy and her head was pounding. Where was she? She saw she was still wearing the black dress, but her shoes were gone- why? She tried to move, but she was paralyzed. She quickly looked up, panicking, where was she? Last thing she remembered was kissing Tommy, and then this. Was Tommy okay? She struggled against the wire cable but winced as it dug into her skin. She tried to scream, but she couldn't move her mouth. Frantically, Riley pulled at the wire cables on her wrists, and feet, but to no avail.
"I wouldn't struggle too much, dear. They leave nasty cuts." Riley looked up and her eyes fell upon his- Tommy, out of his suit and in green army wear. "Nice to see you are awake." He said with a wicked grin.
