Author's Chapter Notes:

hot off the presses. i liked the sound of this as soon as i finished, i hope you do too :)

 

'is that her?'
'yes, sir'
he stared at the image of her on the screen, undeterred by the two
men at the computers nearby; they're paid to look away. he smiled.
'do they know that they were being recorded?'
'no sir, we just told them that they would have their privacy'
'good. i want her brought to my private villa at once. she's perfect'
'what do we do with the kid with her?'
'give him his compensation and toss him out. tell him that we need
her for private research'
'yes sir'

i woke up and she was gone.
'hailey?'
i looked around and all of her stuff was gone too.
'hey' i said aloud, wondering if someone could hear me.
i walked out of the room and stopped the first person on duty i saw.
'excuse me, where's hailey?'
'oh, we needed her for more private research for the remainder of
her time with us. she's in a separate facility'
'why wasn't i told? i didn't even get a chance to say 'goodbye'.'
'i'm sorry for the inconvenience, sir, but we got orders from higher
up to transport her immediately. she said you would understand'
'well, i don't. hailey wouldn't just up and leave without telling
me. i wanna talk to her'
'that's impossible, sir. you'd have to get a direct line to the
research facility she was transported to'
'then put me on the direct line'
'i'm afraid that's for official business only'
'fuck you and your business! didn't you hear me? i said i wanna talk
to my girlfriend!'
'there he is'
i turned around and there were these two beefy sons of bitches
approaching me.
'sir, we've got orders to lead you out today'
'i don't believe any of this!' i shouted. 'hailey would not just
leave me like this! whose orders are you taking anyway?'
'that's none of your business, sir, and orders are orders: you've
got to leave now'
i looked at these two guys and i contained myself. they looked like
they could clock me to next week if they wanted to, so i decided
not to start any rough stuff.
'fine, just let me get my things'
'your things have already been collected, sir. they're waiting for
you at the front door'
'okay, is there someone i can talk to who can get me in touch with
hailey? 'cuz you guys aren't giving me a heck of a lot of information.
i don't even know where she is'
'we'll contact you as soon as she is released'

'i can't believe this'
'ma'am?'
'that son of a bitch. i can't believe he'd do this. look at him!'
she exclaimed, pointing at the video image 'he's just a kid!'
'orders are orders, ma'am. and you know where the orders came from'
'that fucking son of a bitch' she repeated. 'well, where are they
taking him?'
'they're just leading him out now. someone will transport him to his
apartment address downtown'
'can you get me his address? i can't just let this happen, i just
can't'

hailey stirred awake on a bed she didn't recognize.
'hello hailey'
she turned and saw a man sitting opposite her in a chair. he dressed
all in black: suit, tie, pants and shoes. looked like his hair was
combed and everything.
'um, hi. where am i?'
'i had you brought to my villa. my name is vance'
'your villa? where's eugene?'
'eugene will not be joining us unfortunately. i will not lie, he
has no idea where you are right now'
'oh my god' she exclaimed. 'are you kidnapping me?'
vance stood up from his seat. 'you have a gift that has aroused my
interest. i need to sample as much of that gift as i can. after
that, you can go'
'is that so? and what if i don't?'
'you will do this for me, or you will never see eugene again. we
can start as soon as you're ready'
'you're sick' she spat. 'you're a disgusting man!'
vance approached hailey. she backed up to the wall behind her and
got cornered there. he brought his face up to hers.
'yes i am, and there's nothing you can do about that'
Chapter End Notes:

 

'if eugene is narrating this and he already knows hailey's part of the story, doesn't that mean that they get back together by the end?' yes, duh :P i love that from 'a clockwork orange' "i fell hard, but i did not snuff it. if i had snuffed it, i wouldn't have been able to tell what i have told"
