After waiting for an hour the door opens and the man appears.


"Come on" he shyly says while sticking out his arm.


You walk towards him and he grabs hold of your wrist. He heads out while tugging you along, he is obviously trying to make sure you don't run for it, he also seems to be trying to avoid hurting you. You walk into the next room which is basically just a larger version of the room you were just in, carpeted floor with dust bunnies, bleak white walls and no windows. In the middle of the room is a staircase which you and the man walk up. Upstairs you discover you are in a foyer in what appears to be a residential house.


You eye the front door at the end of the foyer but the kidnapper tugs you in the other direction. You enter a room on the right which has two loveseat sofas, a large flat screen TV on stand with a DVD player and several DVDs. On the floor is a carpet that doesn't have dust bunnies, walls that aren't so bleak as the ones in the basement, and more importantly for you windows. You never thought you'd be so happy to see sunlight, but after almost a full day without you'll never take it for granted again. 


While you're staring outside you almost overlook that there is a women sitting on one of the love seats. She looks around your age, has almost waist long blonde hair, jean short shorts and a red tank top, she looks far more confident then the kidnapper ever did. She notices you are looking at her and begins to talk.


"I can't believe you pulled this off Martin" the women begins.


"Yeah, I made a promise and I don't break my promises" the man replied as he sat down next to her.


You notice the man is far more relaxed when in the company of this women.


"So you're the world famous Linda Niles, I'm Jeanette" the women introduces herself.


"Nice to meet you" you respond. You suppose being polite will improve your odds of getting out of this situation.


"I hope Martin has been treating you alright, he isn't a bad person, but I don't blame you if the kidnapping gave you a different impression"


You can't tell if she is being serious or making a wise crack.


"So the reason I am here is I'm going to babysit you today, Martin has a few errands to run and we obviously can't just leave you here alone" Jeanette explained.


"But the FBI is out looking for you" You say surprisingly with a bit of concern in your voice.


"I have...things to do" Martin stated purposely vague.


You could insist that Martin stays and Jeanette goes out to do whatever these errands are. You're not quite sure what to make of Jeanette, she could be dangerous, while you know Martin is timid and (probably) won't hurt you. You might even be able to make an escape attempt. On the other hand Martin isn't much for conversation, having Jeanette stay around would give you somebody to talk to, which would really help you keep your saintly while trapped. However Martin going out runs the risk if him being caught, which can your situation much better or way worse.

You have Jeanette stay

You decided to go with their plan, it's not likely the would change it if you wanted them too anyway.


"I'm heading off now" Martin said as he got off the loveseat and headed towards the front door.


"Aren't you worried he'll get caught?" You ask Jeanette.


"He'll be fine" she responded not the least bit concerned.


"So why did Martin kidnap me?"


"I'm sorry Martin asked me not to tell you, just don't worry, we won't harm you and in a few days you'll be let go and can go home"


You figure it was no use to keep trying to get info out of her, something about her makes you think she can rather stubborn.


"So to help pass the time, you're going to help alphabetize some bank statements" Jeanette said in way she already assumed you would agree.


"What do you mean" you responded quite puzzled.


"Well the old manger of the bank I work at decided it would be fun to have bank statements in random order, so they fired him and if I fix this mess I got a good shot of getting his job, with you I can get it done even faster"


You decide not to argue partly you're a bit afraid of what would happen if you said no and partly because sitting around doing nothing couldn't be good for your mental health. Jeanette heads off into the foyer and you follow her into a room on the left. It is a kitchen complete with a refrigerator, oven and stove. The appliances seemed fairly modern, although the oven and stove appeared to be a bit dirty. Next to them was a counter and sink, with dishes that needed to be washed. A sliding door on the right lead to the backyard. In the middle of the room was a kitchen table,on it is a box with a bunch of papers.You both sit down at the table as Jeanette takes the box and dumps the papers on the table.


"You know the alphabet?" Jeanette sarcastically asks you.


"Well if I didn't, now would be a good time to learn" You reply in equal wit.


Jeanette smiles briefly at the remark, staying on her good side would be the best course of action.


For next several hours you and her organize the files, it isn't so bad as you and her talk during the process. You learn that her father severed in the army and she lost her mother at a young age. You also learn she and Martin have been going out for two years. Around noon Jeanette orders a pizza, mushrooms and olives your favorite. By late afternoon you and her all done.


"Alright, if you ever get tired as a singer, I'll hire you as my assistant. Jeanette compliments.


 A short while later Martin returns home and Jeanette greets him with a kiss.


"Everything is all set for tomorrow" Martin confirms.


"Great, Linda was a valuable help to me" Jeanette responds in a rather cheerful tone.


 Martin turns his attention to you.


 "Tomorrow I will explain everything to you, for now I'm afraid you have to go back to the basement"


You comply and head back downstairs, for dinner you have left over pizza and after watching some prime time tv you fall asleep.
