There was a portable light on a fold up table, a chair and a black bag beside it. Freya knelt beside it and opened it. There was rope, a knife, a hammer and other things that could cause serious bodily harm. She looked up at him with a questioned look.
    ‘You don’t have to be here you know that.’
    ‘I want to be. I have to be. I just wondered what you were going to do to him. How are you going to kill him?’
    ‘It all depends. It will depend on mood, what he’s like and what you want.’
    ‘I just want him dead.’
    He nodded and then brought her close to him. ‘It will be over soon.’ He rubbed her back.
    ‘I can’t wait for it so we can move to the next one.’
    ‘And we will. It will take a little bit of time, but you won’t have to wait for too long. I promise.’
    She nodded. There was a sound of a car pulling up outside. She froze. ‘Is he here?’
    ‘Yes. Wait here and I’ll see.’ He left her standing in the middle of the empty warehouse.

    ‘Where…where am I?’ Lewis felt drowsy and came in and out of consciousness.
    ‘You’re where you’re supposed to be.’ Kevin opened the door.
    ‘I’ll take it from here Kevin.’ Ferguson pulled Lewis out of the car and dragged him towards the warehouse.
    ‘What’s going on? What are you doing to me? I…’ His legs went numb and he just made it to the seat.
    ‘Tie him up,’ Ferguson said to Freya.
    At first she didn’t move. It was frightening to see Lewis again.
    ‘It’s okay darling. He won’t hurt you. I won’t let him.’ He reassured her. ‘Now tie him up while I hold him to stop him from falling. The rope is in the bag.’
    As if waking from a dream she quickly pulled the rope from the bag and began the task of tying Lewis arms and legs.
    ‘That’s good, keep going.’ He encouraged.
    The more she tied him up, the more she realised he could no longer hurt her. The more she began to feel a rush of adrenaline. It would be over soon. That was all she had to tell herself.
    ‘Right, let’s make sure the ropes are tight enough.’ He did a little fiddling just to make sure they were secure. ‘Right. Done.’ He stood back.
    ‘What now?’ she asked.
    ‘We wait a little while and then we wake him up.’
    Freya watched as Lewis woke up and went back to sleep. He was in and out of it, mumbling stuff. His vision wasn’t clear, but he could smell a dampness around him and only just make out the two figures standing in the distance. He had no idea who the other person was.
    Freya began to pace impatiently. She wanted this to start now and couldn’t calm her nerves, she was close to taking the cocaine in her bag. But she wanted to be fully aware of her surroundings when it happened.
    ‘Okay, let’s see if he’ll wake up.’ He placed a solution under Lewis’s nose and he came to. ‘Welcome back.’
    ‘Where…’ He tried to set his hands free. ‘Where the hell am I? What are you doing to me!’
    ‘You’re in a warehouse. Today is the day you say goodbye to this earth.’
    ‘What…Why are you doing this to me. I thought you wanted a car. I don’t understand.’ He was out of breath.
    ‘He’s doing it for me.’ She stepped into the light so he could see her. ‘Do you remember me?’
    He squinted trying to make out her face.
    ‘I’m sure I was unforgettable. Do you remember pinning me down to the bed while you pleasured yourself?’
    ‘What are you talking about? I don’t know who you are.’
    Rage erupted through her body. She walked towards him and slapped him across the face. ‘How dare you!’ Tears built up in her eyes. ‘How dare you make a fool of me.’ She slapped him again, and again.
    ‘I don’t.’
    ‘Look at me!’ she screamed.
    He looked up at her face and there was the sudden recognition which she caught, but he soon tried to hide it.
    ‘You know what you did, you bastard!’
    ‘I…’
    There was another sting across his face. He shut his mouth and looked over at Ferguson.
    ‘Whatever
