Aubrey's POV:
When I felt the dark material slip over my eyes I freaked out. I've been claustrophobic ever since Jamie locked me in the dryer on my 5th birthday. I could tell that the fabric was a bag of some sort and I immediatly ducked. With the sinking sun assauling my sences once again, I jumped backwards, away from the truck and rammed right into someone. With a grunt from behind me, the...guy I'm assuming, wrapped his arms around me and covered my mouth.
"You're gonna be a good little girl and not make a sound...right?" Yup. Definitely a guy.
Hearing a gun click I quickly nodded my head and was let go. But, before I could even turn around I felt hands collide with my back and I was slammed face first into the side of the truck. The guy grabbed my arms and I could feel him tying them together, but instead of just tying my wrists I had the rope starting at my elbows and ending at my wrists. I have no idea how he was able to do that so fast. He shoved something that tasted like an old sock into my mouth. I was crying by now and was only vaugly aware of being thrown into the truck. I almost missed my gag being replaced my a different, weird smelling, cloth, when I fell asleep.

I woke up in an uncomfortable position. I was wearing shorts so I'm assuming I was still in that truck because of the leather underneath me. I could hear someone talking but I couldn't see him. That's when I realized that I was wearing a blindfold. Dang it. I could only hear one person talking so I'm assuming he's on the phone or something. Try as I might I couldn't make out what was being said, so I tried moving towards the sound. When I moved my arms I rope cut into them and I couldn't hold back the whimper that tore from my throat. Everything went eerily quite as I felt teh truck stop and heard a door open and close and then another open. The cold air that was suddenly attacking my skin was a soothing sentation compared to what was going on with my arms behing me. That weird sock thing was taking out of my mouth again and I got the strangest sense of being totally alone.
"Hello?" Of course I didn't get an answer, what was I expecting, but I had to try again, "Hello?!?!"
"Shut up, I'll be there in a minute." Those words had me frozen to the spot and I couldn't seem to move. Suddenly that wierd smelling thing was infront of me again and I knew no more.

Unknown's POV:
He had almost botched the job...again. He wasn't supposed to even let her turn around. Of course he had messed up a week ago when he'd missed the girl he was originally supposed to get. But, one girl was as good as the next right? He was actually on his way back to report that he had failed when he saw her walking. It couldn't have been coincidence could it? Either way he had almost lost her. She had been able to get out of the bag and would have ran for it had he not been behind her. He could see her face in the reflection of the truck and almost felt sorry. He always did. That's why he had to try harder than everyone else. He had a conscience. His phone ringing reminded him that he was supposed to be back by now with the other girl.
"I'm on my way, just got through Nicklesville." He couldn't be bothered with pleasantries right now.
"You were supposed to be back hours ago...You messed up again didn't you?" Apparently he wasn't either.
"Yes, but I fixed it," he waited for a reply but nothing was said, "I got another girl."
"You got another girl." It was said more like a threat than anything else, "She's your responsibility, you know that right?"
"Yeah...don't worry. I'll-" He stopped as soon as he heard her cry out. "Gotta go. She's awake."
With that he hung up and pulled the truck over to the side of the road. Opening her door he ripped the cloth out of her mouth and went back to the front to get his chloroform. He had to make sure he didn't put too much on...Lord knows what can happen then. This shit could kill.
"Hello?" It was so faint that he thought he hadn't really heard it. But when it came again, this time with a more frantic edge, he replied to the little voice.
"Shut up, I'll be there in a minute." With that he finished his cloth and walked over to her. She crinkled up her nose before passing out just as easily as she had the first time.
With a sigh he stood up and closed her door after checking her ropes. Satisfied he went back to the drivers seat and continuted on his little road trip.
