Jason listened carefully, nothing. She had finally sobbed herself to sleep.
"Good, stupid bitch" he thought as he went to the refrigerator and got another beer. Kicking back with his feet up on the coffee table he stared at the blank television and his mind went into narrative mode; She deserved everything she had gotten so far...so far...
that was the key...just how far could he go? After all, he had taken Tanya
four days ago. Granted, she was supposed to be on a three day skiing trip, and was technically only one day overdue. School didn't start again for another week. Why would anyone think he had anything to do with her?
They never spoke, and were never seen together. This just may be it...his first chance to kill another human being. His heart pounded with the thought. His face flushed, his limbs tingled.
In the back bedroom Tanya had gotten free of the not so well tied ropes.
She had managed to get the window to open and was now out on the ledge above the driveway. She knew it wasn't that far to the ground...but what if she jumped, and broke an ankle? If he heard her, she would never get away.
She had to be patient, smart. She edged around to where the basket ball hoop hung above the garage door. She sat down in the middle of the roof and
edged her way towards the hoop. Slowly dropping her feet over the edge, she found the rim with her right foot, she scooted down a bit more.
When she had both legs over the rim she started moving her butt downward.
Finally she was dangling by her arms and jumped bent kneed to the ground.
She didn't stop to think about anything she just ran. She went five blocks away to be safe, then banged on the first door she came to. As she waited for an answer, she wondered what she was going to say, and if anyone would believe her...
