Mindy was working late on a Tuesday night on her research project. She had just run a test and it was successful. She knew that all her work had paid off, and that there would be an announcement soon from her company, as well as hopefully a nice promotion for her. She slumped back in her chair and smiled. Mindy thought she should celebrate her work and decided to stop and have a drink on the way home from work at Nick's. She had been there once before when she graduated from college.<br/><br/>Walking in she found it almost deserted. Well, it was a Tuesday night and she had gone on a Saturday night when it was really busy. She sat at the bar and was about to order when a man sat down at the stool next to hers. He introduced himself as Steve. Mindy didn't have a boyfriend and hadn't even gone out for the last year, because she was so focused on her work. He chatted with her, and offered to buy her a drink. She smiled and thanked him and asked for glass of white wine. "Make it special Tony", the man said to the bartender, which was their code for adding something extra to her drink.<br/><br/>Mindy enjoyed all the attention he was giving her as she sipped on her drink. After she finished it, she gave him her phone number and said how she enjoyed talking with him tonight. Then she got up and staggered a bit as she tried to leave. "Guess I should of had something to eat first. That wine really got to me. Maybe I better take a cab home." The man helped her walk out the door and called a cab for her. While they were waiting for the cab, a car pulled up to the curb next to them. "Hey it's my friend Mike. He can take you home", Steve said. Mindy said that she could wait, but Steve insisted and opened the car door and pushed her inside. The car sped off and that was all Mindy remembered as she soon passed out.<br/><br/>She was still groggy when she awakened. She was still in the car, but her wrists were taped together behind her back, and her wrists and ankles were taped together too. Another piece to tape was over her lips to keep her quiet and a burlap sack was over her head, held in place by a drawstring that kept it on her head. Her only consolation was that her skirt, blouse, and heels were still on. She was confused as to what was going on. Had she been kidnapped? Steve noticed her starting to move and gave her a shot of a sedative in her arm, and she dozed off again. "Sweet dreams babe", he said laughing as she slumped back in her seat, "Your nightmare is about to begin."<br/><br/>They pulled up the back of a building and carried her inside, depositing her on the floor in one of rooms. Steve told someone there about Mindy before collecting his finder's fee. He gave Mike his portion and they headed out the door.<br/>
