Foggy Night



The night was fogy, but “the rope strangler” was easily weaving through victim in hand.  Probably drugged, she tailed behind him with a stumbling step. 

 

She bumps into people but they just ignore her yet someone seemed to take a interest in why she was being pull by the strange man. 

 

Gine:: ‘Why is he taking her with him in such a frantic way?  Seems like there both being followed by someone else but he is more interested in the man then the woman.’

 

Main:: ‘He sure didn’t waste his time finding a girl this time.  I suppose he might be on to me.  No matter though, I plan for this one to be his last.’

 

Main makes his way as casually as he can through the somewhat empty streets.

 

Gine decides not to follow to close behind the man following the two so he wont be seen.

 

Like a train the unlikely group move, lead by the less sane of the bunch, to an ill kept hotel.

 

Roper drags the girl in, while Main makes his way through the back.

 

Gine:: ‘Something feels out of place with all of this. Could this be something bigger then what I thought it would be?’

 

Cashier:: “Two rooms, or one?”

 

Roper:: “ One, any floor, any price.”

 

The roper and the cashier make a quick transaction and she completely ignores the obviously confused girl at his side.  The two head for the stairs while main moves towards the cashier.

 

Main:: “What room did they head to?”

 

Cashier:: “I can’t tell you that it’s not in our companies best interest.”

 

She smiles and gestures a clue towards her needs.

 

Gine waits outside and thinks on what he should do and if there is anything in it for him.

 

Gine:: ‘Seems that man that followed the two is still trying to get in there. Amateur.’

 

Back inside

 

Main:: “Look lady I don’t have time to argue.  You must have seen them come in and I’m positive it was clear as day she wasn’t in her right train of mind.  Can you really live with the thought that you may have been her last chance but you let it go?

 

Cashier:: “It’ll only cost you 20$ and you’ll be able to give her that chance your talking about.”

 

Main:: “How about for a trick, I know some really amazing ones?”

 

He reaches in his pocket.

 

In the room


The girl is still out of it but is pushed into the room and she falls to the floor.

 

The Roper pulls out his bag and looks through it while the girl is on the floor helpless. He finds a rope that he always uses and a knife.

 

Roper:: “Time for the fun to really get started.”

 

He pulls her into the bed and ties her hands and feet to the bed and gags her with a sock.

 

In the streets

 

Gine walks into the hotel and decides to as the cashier for a room.

 

Gine:: “I like to have a room for the night.”

 

Gine winks at the cashier hoping that she knows what he wants and not get the wrong idea.  She is much, much to old for him.  A few moments run by, she doesn’t move a muscle.  He leans in and sees that her mouth is moving.  He moves a little closer.

 

Cashier Whispering:: “202… 2  ..  202…02…20.2…”

 

Gine goes to the stairs and starts his way up to the room.

 

Gine:: ‘Glad she didn’t get the wrong idea. Scared me for a moment.’

 

Just outside the room

 

Main:: ‘This guy was lucky last time but I’ll be ready for his speed now.’

 

Main pulls out the ace of spades torn in two and slides one side into each shoe.  Then he wraps the torn cloth around his hand.

 

In the room

As the Roper cuts the girl little by little not to make it to bloody, the girl is too drugged to scream or even feel anything.

 

Gine sees the room but walks right by, then stands next to the door, listens on to figure out what is happening insides and tries to see if he is too late to help the woman.
