Early the next morning Steve was cruelly woke up by the beeping alarm clock. "Ugh, already?" Steve stretched and tried to wake the rest of his body up. He had a very long night tossing and turning and even now found his mind wandering yet again to Sarah.
"Hmm...Maybe that was too forward of me to give her my number." He thought aloud and scratched his head. He headed to the shower, still half asleep, in hopes that the effort would help revive his senses and focus on something other than Sarah.
As he passed the phone he almost reached for it to dial the police but he knew he did not have any solid evidence to make any kind of report. What if he was wrong, deep down he knew he was not, but he thought better of dialing. Maybe Sarah would call him and clear things up for him. Either way he knew he could not concern himself with that right now, he needed to get himself ready for the day.

Mark sat at his desk doing some paperwork when his mind began nagging him that something was not quite right today. He could not put a finger on it. But definitely something was askew. He knew he would figure it out before the day was over. He picked up the phone and called home to check in on Sarah. It rang and rang with no answer. "Now what is my little princess out doing?" he grimaced at the thought of her out for a day with her tramp friend. "She will just never learn. No matter how hard I try to teach her. No respect at all." he sighed. Mark proceeded to leave a message for his wife making it clear that he was not happy with being ignored. Aggravated he picked up the intercom, "Gloria?"
"Yes Mr. Hascom?" she answered.
"Could you please come in here?"
"Right away sir." In a few moments Gloria tapped on the door.
"Come in." Gloria gracefully stepped inside the small office with a sly smile on her face. She winked at her boss as she closed the door behind her.
"Hello Beautiful!" Mark smiled at her with a wink of his own. he turned his chair around and held his hand out to her.
Gloria walked over to Mark with a lusty smile on her face. "What can I do for you......Sir?"
