Emily and Helena strolled around the mall, window shopping and chatting about life. They had at least five bags on each arm, and a drink in one hand. Emily grinned sheepishly,

"I have to use the restroom," she sat her bags on a nearby bench, "watch my stuff, okay? I'll be right back."

"Alright, but don't take too long!" Helena whined before sitting her bags down as well, and taking out her phone.

Emily walked to the restroom, which was a long, stretched hallway with the restrooms at the end of it. Scattered around the walls were small "employees only" rooms, so she walked straight down the hall, in case someone ran out in a hurry.

Someone did run out in a hurry, but it wasn't an employee. It was a masked man in dark clothing. Emily yelped as the man put a pocketknife to her back, and his hand over her mouth. He whispered into her ear, a stale, alcohol-smelling stench came out along with his raspy voice,

"Scream and I'll stab you right now."

Emily nodded as he lead her out the door, and into his car, which again, smelt of alcohol and cigarettes. He duct taped her arms and legs together, then put a strip over her mouth. He chuckled, and put the child lock on. The man jumped into the front seat, and drove off, into Emily's nightmare.
