"Hello. Is anyone there?"
Elena May. Twenty-two. Squinting. Seated at a metal table whilst being handcuffed. The door opens and she hears footsteps. A man, his appearance hidden in shadow, pulls out the chair across from her and sits down. We sense there are others in the room as well. He tosses a passport on the table in front of her.
"Miss Elena May."
"Yeah. Who are—"
The man pointed the gun.
"I ask, you answer. Understand?"
Elena nodded.
"Why are you here?"
"Honestly? I'm not entirely sure. It just felt like something I needed to do." Elena started.
"Who is John Milner to you?"
"You don't know how many times I've asked myself that question this week. I mean, I just met him through Mate.com. Actually, I didn't meet him through it, more like because of it." Elena said.
"An online dating website."
"Please. I know. I was surprised myself, I mean, it's not really like me, but, well sometimes you've got to take drastic steps to get where you're supposed to be—"
The man puts the gun towards her head.
"Baby steps, baby steps." Elena mumbled.
"Why are you here? I'm not going to ask again."
She glanced about the dark, sitting up as she cleared her throat.
"You'd have to go back to Monday..."
