Hostage

Chapter 1

A/N: I just started this story and I still have plenty more to add this is just the beginning of it.

I jumped at the sound of my alarm clock going off at 6:30 a.m. It was a normal day as I woke, and I went into my kitchen and started my coffee. As I sat there with coffee in hand I was trying to put my list together of what all I needed to do that day when I heard a knock on my door. Startled I looked at the time thinking who could be at my door so early. When I looked through the hole to my front door there was man I had never seen before. He was dressed in very nice attire and held up a flyer. The flyer showed a little girl on the front of it. I proceeded to open the door to see what he needed, when I did though I was met with a pistol to my side and was told to step back into the house. At that point I was shocked at what was happening, and I could not believe that I was about to be robbed or so I thought. However he did not wish to steal from me. He said, Lori I am going to tie your hands up behind your back. I then knew that this day would change my life. As my hands were getting tied behind my back I said to the man "What do you want?" and " why are you here?" He said I have been watching you and following to see what your daily schedule was. My mouth kind of fell open, and in that instance my eyes were fearful. I had no clue what I did or what this man wanted or why he was holding me hostage in my own home. He then told me that he knew I went to work every day and then went jogging after wards. He knew that I had two dogs that went running with me every day. He knew my whole routine, and why he chose to come after me I was still wondering. It was getting later as I sat there and I knew that if I did not show up to the office my boss would be worried. However I did not know what to do, so I told the man that if I did not make it into work my boss would wonder what happened to me. He said, I was to call work and let my boss know that I was not feeling well and that I would not be in the office today.
