Alice was looking for a job. She had just turned 25, was out of school, and was living with her parents. They kept telling her to get a job and move out, so she decided to actually try for once instead of lying to them and saying she did. She looked through the job ads in the newspaper, and one caught her eye. There was a young couple, one 29, and one 30, who needed a maid to help them out around the house. Alice was particularly good at cleaning, and she had to do it often to keep her parents happy and to prevent them from nagging her to get out of the house. If there was nothing to complain about, then there was no reason for her to go. Alice looked at the ad with a smile. Maybe they had a sexy outfit for her to wear too., she thought, and giggled.
Alice took her cellphone from her purse and called the number under the ad.
" Hello?" answered someone. It was a man, so she assumed it was the one in the ad.
"Um hi... My name is Alice. I'm interested in that maid job you advertised in the paper this week. Are you.... Stephen Parker?" Alice replied.
" yes I am," he said " what's your name again?" he asked.
" It's Alice sir. Alice Thompson," she said.
" Alright then. How old are you?" he asked, and she smiled. He seemed interested.
" I am 25 sir."
" Oh alright. Come on down to my house. We'll get you set up if you're ready. The address is 7174 west 56th. Is that alright?"
" Yes. that's fine," Alice said, her smile now even bigger. They weren't that far away, and she was so happy that she got the job. At least he made it seem like she did. But why wouldn't she? She was perfect for it! Any doubt in their minds would be pushed out when they saw how well she cleaned. Her parents were at work themselves, and she couldn't wait to tell them that she finally had a job, so she wanted to make sure she got it. Quickly she got prepared. She wore a white button up blouse, a black skirt, along with black stockings and heels. She hurried to the car with her purse and the address Stephen gave to her.
The house wasn't that far away, in fact, it was on Alice's street. It was just a couple blocks down, and it took her less than a couple minutes to get there. She and her parents passed by that house a lot, and envied the people who lived there. It was a large, two storied house painted a nice light blue, much like the sky. It had a large wood patio out front, and two dark wood doors that were almost symmetrical. It must have like... 50 rooms, Alice thought as he walked to the door. She walked up the steps onto the patio and knocked on the door. It took a bit, but a woman came eventually and opened the door.
" Alice?" she spoke quietly. Alice really like her voice. It was soft and comforting.
" Yes. You must be Elanor Parker," Alice said as she smiled and held out her hand. " It's very nice to meet you."
" Nice to meet you too sweetheart," Elanor said as she shook her hand. Sweetheart... Alice thought, and blushed lightly. She was already getting affectionate names and she hadn't even started working.
" Why don't you come in? It's a pleasure having you here," Elanor said and stepped to the side, allowing Alice access to the beautiful entryway of the house. As she stepped in, she gasped.
" You're house is so beautiful ma'am," she said, looking around. The large entryway had hardwood floors. There was a stairway leading up to the second floor. Alice looked up and saw a large chandelier above her. If you went upstairs and leaned over the railing just a bit you could touch it.
" Thank you dear," Elanor smiled. " would you like a tour?'
" Yes please," Alice said, eager to see the rest of the house. They started with the downstairs area. The living room had a large fireplace, a couple bookshelves and a large TV in the left corner. Next to the living room was the Kitchen. There wasn't much there, just normal kitchen appliances and things. On the right of the living room was the study. There were more bookshelves in there, as well as a computer on a desk to the left. There was also a bathroom on the left in the entryway, but not much was in there either. Upstairs there were 5 or 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There was also a door to the attic, but nothing was up there.
" So do you think you can help clean this place?' Elanor asked as Alice was looking around. Alice nodded. They went back to the entryway, and Stephen came in through a door to the cellar that Alice didn't notice.
" Well look who's here," Stephen said and smiled.
" Did the wife take you on a tour of the house?' Stephen asked, and both Elanor and Alice nodded.
" Good. Alright so... you seemed very eager to work for us. That's a good sign. If you want the job. just say so." Stephen said and kept smiling. Alice was surprised that they were so willing to take her without knowing much about her at all. However she wasn't too concerned with it and took the job. Immediately they gave her something to do, which was dust the cellar. Alice had to impress them so she could secure the job. Quickly she went down to the cellar. It didn't look at all what she had expected, it was nice. There was another office down there, a laundry room, a bathroom and another door that was locked. Alice started dusting in the computer room, then continued throughout the rest of the cellar. Once she finished all of the open rooms she went upstairs. She wanted to make sure to impress them so she looked for Stephen to tell him that there was a locked room that she still needed to dust.
" Ah yes," Stephen replied after Alice told him. He took a key from one of the bookshelves in the living room and followed Alice downstairs. Once there he unlocked the door, and Alice opened it. It was pitch black inside. As soon as she opened the door, Stephen place his hand firmly over her mouth. He switched on the light to reveal handcuffs attached to the walls. Quickly he forced Alice's hand into one of the cuffs. She fought back, but he easily overpowered her and forced her other had in the cuffs, quickly latching them shut. He then took one sock off of Alice's foot and shoved it into her mouth, and then used his tie to tie it into place. Alice screamed into her gag as Stephen left the room, closing and locking the door behind him.
