Chapter 18
The three women had been sitting in the room strapped to the wheelchairs for around an hour when the door opened. Louise Williams entered and walked up to Hayley. Louise could tell that despite being blindfolded and having earplugs in Hayley could tell that someone had entered the room. Louise removed Hayley’s gag, blindfold and earplugs before moving on and doing the same with Natalie and Gayle. As she walked behind the wheelchairs Louise noted that the pairs of restraining bags were already lying out on the beds lofting up nicely. Louise felt three pairs if eyes staring at her as she went to the corner of the room to fetch a chair which she positioned in the centre of the wheelchairs which has been left in a rough half circle.
“You girls sure don’t take any chances with possible escape attempts” Natalie said. Louise met her gaze and just shrugged by way of a reply.
“Ladies we have already met but to confirm my name is Louise Williams and I suppose I am here to give you the standard introduction. Welcome to Tranquil Island, a paradise on earth. We hope that you enjoy your stay with us” Louise said changing the tone of her voice to match a rep at some cheap holiday resort. Taking a pause Louise continued, her voice taking on a slight air of menace “in all seriousness listen carefully. I shall say this only once. You are on an island, the only practical way off is by helicopter or boat. There is always the option of swimming but even I don’t know exactly how far away the next inhabited piece of land is.” Louise paused to let that sink in. “There will be times when you will be restrained and also sedated however if you behave you will be allowed to roam the island relatively freely and gain privileges such as use of the beach and if you so desire some of the sports facilities. We aren’t monsters. Lastly I would like to draw your attention to the band around each of your left ankles. It is a tracking device that is monitored by our security team so we know where you are at all times. Someone will be along to take you out of those chairs and into the comfort of the now familiar restraining bags shortly. Anybody have any questions?” There were no responses. Louise stood up and moved the chair back to the corner of the room. “Unfortunately the gags and other stuff have to go back before I leave.” Louise made her way across and began the process of gagging, blindfolding and replacing the earplugs. Louise started with Natalie and once the task was completed stood behind Gayle.
“How long will we be kept here?” Gayle finally asked.
“I honestly don’t know Gayle. The boss makes those decisions. The good news is I think that she wants to keep you rather than send you on so that’s good news.” Before there could be any kind of response Louise forced the cloth into Gayle’s mouth and tied a scarf to secure it in place. Louise finished with Gayle then completed the task with Hayley without any further interruptions.
Louise exited the room and found Garrett and Munroe standing in the corridor waiting for instructions. Louise picked up her phone and watch from the table outside the room. You weren’t allowed to take either into a room where a captive was held. Glancing at her watch she issued instructions. “Another hour in the chairs and then get them fed, watered, freshened up, in the bags and onto the beds. The boss wants full restrictions with only the minimum breaks for a week before she even considers granting concessions.” Garrett and Munroe nodded confirmation before Louise turned and walked down the corridor. It had been a long and stressful job and she was planning to unwind in the spa with a bottle of wine.
Chapter 19
6 days later at the offices of King & Co Investigations
There was a knock on the door and everyone turned toward it. Christina, Gillian, Michelle, Rhiannon and Jane looked at each other before Michelle walked over and opened the door. The group had been sitting around for what seemed an eternity. They had all been brought together in the common cause for locating and rescuing their abducted friends Hayley King and Natalie Twain.
Michelle had become concerned about her employer and friend when Hayley didn’t respond to her texts or telephone calls. After they had went unanswered for a day Michelle decided visit Hayley’s loft apartment. Using the set of keys that Hayley had given to her for emergencies Michelle entered the apartment and had been very surprised by what she had found in the kitchen / dining area. Christina Howard and her sister eating breakfast from bowls. Michelle stood still and Christina stood and approached, reading the body language Christina managed to clamp a hand over Michelle’s mouth in time to smoother the scream. “Hayley has been abducted. Calm down, have a seat and I will explain everything. Then I need your help.” Michelle nodded and once Christina’s hand was removed the two sat down. Christina then ran through what had happened and what she knew from beginning to end, missing out the part where she had betrayed Hayley to the kidnappers in exchange for her sister. When Christina had finished Michelle considered what she had just heard and pulling out her phone said “I think I know someone who can help.”
The sky darkened and then the rain started to pound against the window. The weather reflected Gillian’s mood at the present time. Gillian had done some further digging on the irregularities with the paperwork as Section 10. They were there and they seemed to point toward Martinez. However before Gillian could present her case to the top brass Martinez launched a pre-emptive strike, fabricated evidence against her and prompt suspended Gillian with immediate effect. Martinez even had two security team officers around to revoke her security clearance and escort her off the premises. Martinez even threatened to detain her in the facility if she didn’t leave peacefully. That was before Martinez went on annual leave last week, leaving Gillian in limbo. Nobody above Martinez would trust what Gillian said even if she did have copies of her evidence on her personal computer. Then her mobile rang, the display told her it was Michelle calling. After answering the phone Gillian was greeted with a stream of words that she could only pick out some important words like, Hayley, abducted and another name that she hoped never to hear again. “Michelle, calm down and start again.” Michelle finished. “Put her on” Gillian said and waited as the phone was handed over “Christina I am on my way over. Your story better be convincing.”
Rhiannon Scott who shared a flat with Natalie returned from vacation to find Jane Robbie coming out of her bedroom. Rhiannon picked up a handily placed hockey stick and waived it in the general direction of Jane who held up her hands, trying to look unthreatening. “Who the hell are you?” Rhiannon shouted. Jane didn’t answer right away. The sneaky hot babe with the hockey stick didn’t look that intimidating.
“Could ask you the same questions?” Jane retorted.
“My name is Rhiannon Scott and I live here. Where is Natalie?”
“I haven’t seen or heard from her for more than a week. If you stop wielding the hockey stick I will tell you the story.” Rhiannon lowered the stick but kept it by her side. Jane realised that this was as good as it was going to get and began her story.
The group had joined forces and investigated but without Hayley and Natalie’s instincts and contacts they didn’t make any progress. That was where the group found themselves, sitting around the table in Hayley’s office when Detective John Smith entered the room and took one of the seats around the table. The women could tell from the detective’s demeanour that things hadn’t gone great. Eventually Michelle decided to ask the question. “So what happened?”
“Well we brought Alexander in but he didn’t spill anything.”
“What do you mean? Why didn’t you confront him?” Rhiannon asked.
“What with? Trust me we got the full court press but there isn’t real evidence. The only two things that we have are Christina seeing him at the gala ball with Louise Williams and somebody who may be Elizabeth Crawford plus that he got permission for his development. Neither of which are really caught red handed stuff” Smith explained calmly. “His lawyer got him released pretty quickly.”
“There must be something that you can do? We need to find something that will give us a clue to where they have taken Natalie and Hayley” Michelle chipped in.
“Not really. The alleged victims, including your sister” Smith pointed at Christina “aren’t willing to make a statement.”
“Well even if they did what could they tell the police. I went through it with my sister and she couldn’t describe any of the people that took her accurately and had no idea where she was kept. Plus that wouldn’t give us a direct link to Alexander” Christina replied. The room fell into a resigned silence.
“What’s the plan of action then?” Rhiannon asked of the group.
“Crawford would be too careful to leave anything incriminating lying around” Smith said.
“You’re right detective. But what about Martinez?” it was Christina again.
“Searched her house but didn’t come up with anything. She had cleaned it pretty well.”
“What about her office?”
“We would never get authorisation to search a federal facility on what evidence we have at the moment” stated Smith,
“What about an unofficial search?” Christina just let the idea float out there.
“Christina my electronic pass was cancelled by Martinez when she suspended me after framing me for the missing supplies and dodgy paperwork” Gillian was almost shouting. “Even if I could get into the facility my pass wouldn’t get me into her……” Gillian trailed off as if something had just come to mind.
“What is it Gillian?” asked Rhiannon.
“Martinez kept a room in on the top floor of the Section 10 facility. She used it occasionally for staying overnight. It was the only room in the entire place that had a traditional lock on it. Martinez kept the only key. If she left in a hurry there might still be something left in there.”
“How do we get into the room if we don’t have the key?” Michelle asked.
“If only we had a professional thief that could pick locks……..” Rhiannon said whilst staring at Jane who hadn’t said a word during this entire exchange.
“Leave me out ladies! It sounds like there could be a lot of law enforcement interest here. Which is something that I try to avoid at all costs” Jane replied.
“Look you owe Natalie and Hayley. If it wasn’t for them you would either be in a cell or maybe captive at the hands of Crawford right now” Rhiannon replied her voice rising slightly.
“Alright but if you are serious then we…”
“Stop right there ladies” Smith interrupted. “I need to leave now before this discussion goes any further. I can let myself out.” With that Smith got up from his chair and hurried out the door. All of the women had turned to watch Smith leave.
“I was going to say we need a plan. And probably a bit of luck” finished Jane.
“We will need a security card to get into the building and through most of the doors. They won’t be easy to come by” Gillian chimed in.
“How would we get one Gillian?” Christian asked. Gillian started to pace around the room thinking things through.
“We would need to take a chance. If we just steal one it will be deactivated as soon as it is reported missing.”
“What about stealing one from somebody that is on holiday?” Michelle chimed in.
“Policy is that if you are going on holiday then the security card has to stay at the facility after your last shift. We are going to have to take one from someone who stays off-site then keep them from reporting it.”
“How do we do that?” said Jane, running both hands through her hair.
“Ladies I think that I have a plan.” Everyone stopped and look at Christina. “But I don’t think that you are going to like it.” Christina explained her plan to the others. Nobody said a word as Christina ran through her plan. Halfway through Gillian grabbed a pen and paper and started listing names and working out shift patterns. By the time Christina had finished Gillian had circled a name on the sheet of paper. “Gillian you can’t go in. They know that you are suspended. It would raise too many red flags.”
“That leaves us one short. We need somebody to cover the security desk on the top floor whilst Jane takes on the locks.”
“What about me?” Rhiannon offered. Christina looked her in the eye.
“You sure you are up for this?” Gillian asked whilst at the same time scrolling through her phone.
“Yeah, I’m sure.” Rhiannon answered.
“Good” Gillian replied holding her phone up so that everyone could see the photograph that she had brought up “because I picked this lady for a reason. She looks very much like you.” The rest of the group crowded round to take a look. The consensus was that the resemblance was uncanny.
Chapter 20
The door opened and in entered two women, one was the woman Hayley knew as Garrett or Kirsty, the other one, the woman with the Russian accent was pushing one of the large old fashioned wheelchairs that had been used to transport the three captives from the boat. All three women looked at each other after taking in the strange attire of the women. Hayley, Natalie and Gayle had been free of their restraints for about an hour. It was a bit strange as they had been kept bound for virtually the entire time that they had been held captive, now after being knocked out they had come round to find that they were not restrained within large down filled bags. They had looked around the room for a way out. The windows didn’t open and the glass was very thick, nothing doing there. The door was blank on the inside, no handle to turn of hinges to tamper with. Natalie had commented that they seem to have thought of everything. Hayley commented that they had obviously prepared well. There were three double beds in the room, the wardrobe, in addition to spare down filled suits contained clothes that would fit all three women; there were even three toothbrushes in the ensuite bathroom.
“Hayley the boss wants to see you” Garrett announced. The reason that Hayley, Natalie and Gayle glanced at each other was that both women wore old fashioned style large ball gown style dresses, well at the least the skirts of the dresses. The top half of any dress would be obscured by the down coat that Garrett and the Russian were wearing. Although the outfits were identical in nature the colours were different, pastel shades of blue for Garrett and pink for the Russian.
“What’s the wheelchair for?” asked Hayley
“We aren’t carrying you” replied the Russian.
“I am capable of walking” retorted Hayley
“Not when you are sleeping” replied the Russian as she reached into the pocket of her down filled coat and produced a bottle and cloth. “Don’t worry is only chloroform.”
“Look I had worked that one out. Not my first time at that rodeo. Come on ladies no need for that. I will comply.” Hayley was trying to negotiate not being knocked out yet again. “Besides if you keep using the chloroform you will soon need to hold the cloth over my nose and mouth for five minutes before I enter the land of nod.”
“Sorry we have orders from Ms Williams. For the moment nobody leaves this room without being knocked out.” Whilst talking the Russian doused the cloth with chloroform, “We can do this the easy way where you just let me put the cloth over your nose and mouth and you relax, take nice deep breaths or you can struggle and have a fight. Either way you end up out.” Hayley resigned to her fate nodded and the two women approached, the fabric of their large dresses swishing as they walked. The Russian who had the cloth walked behind Hayley.
“Shouldn’t we get to know each other better first? What’s your name anyway? We can’t keep calling you the Russian.” Hayley questioned. Suddenly the woman brought the cloth around and clamped it over Hayley’s nose and mouth. Although she knew it was coming Hayley still recoiled slightly. “If it makes you feel better then you can call Yelena. Just take the deep breathes and inhale the sweet fumes” said the Russian. Hayley relaxed and inhaled the fumes from the cloth. After several breaths Hayley felt herself starting to relax and felt a tingle in her arms and legs. Her mind started to get confused and her eyelids went getting harder to keep open. Eventually she couldn’t stand any longer and fell back into Yelena. Yelena had been practising and was now skilled in the art of sedation and kept the chloroform cloth clamped over Hayley’s nose and mouth until Hayley went all the way out.
“You pair keep back unless you want to us to use the cloth on you.” Garrett growled. Natalie and Gayle both nodded and looked on as the two women wearing the large dresses lifted Hayley and put her in the wheelchair. Garrett and Yelena worked methodically to secure the padded straps to Hayley’s wrists, upper arms, chest, stomach, thighs, and ankles. After completing that task Yelena wheeled Hayley out of the room closely followed by Garrett.
“Where do you think they are taking Hayley?” Gayle asked Natalie.
“I have no idea but hopefully they treat her alright”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t think about it Gayle. Let’s try and keep positive. Control what we can.”
“Like what. We are their captives. They have total control!!” Gayle was starting to get hysterical. Natalie had to keep her calm. Get her focused on something.
“Well like gather all the information we can. Even something that seems like a negative can be useful.” Natalie could see that she was winning the fight to calm Gayle down. “We know that we are being held on an island, we know that there are at least six of them, we know the names of those six and we know that they are professional. The more we know the better our chances of one those bits of information being useful.” Gayle nodded and headed for the bathroom. Natalie wondered if it was Gayle’s spirits she was trying to keep up or her own.
Half an hour later
Hayley came round and shook her head clear. Hayley’s body was starting to get used to her being chloroformed now as they after effects were not as severe. She didn’t know whether this was a good or bad thing. Hayley assessed her situation. She was lying on a large four poster bed. There were padded cuffs around both of her ankles and both of her wrists. Each of these cuffs was attached by black rope to each corner of the bed meaning that her arms were in a slightly awkward position with her hands just above her shoulders and her legs were spread open. Hayley tried the bindings, there was bit of give in the restraints, she could move around and squirm but there was no chance of getting off the bed. Hayley also noted that she was naked apart from the fresh diaper that had been put on whilst she had been unconscious. This diaper was different to the previous diapers that she had been forced to wear. This one looked and felt thicker and a floral patterned design on it. Looking around the room Hayley couldn’t see much as the heavy drapes were closed over the window and the lighting was at a very low level but from what she could see would describe the room as opulent. The thick pillows and duvet on the bed were covered in silk bedding.
“Nice to see you are awake Ms King” said a voice from the other side of the room. Hayley guessed the owner of the voice from the accent, it was Elizabeth Crawford. Hayley saw the woman approach from the out of the gloom as she made her way to the bed and sat gown near the top. Hayley decided to get straight to the point; then noticed that Elizabeth was wearing a long down filled coat. What was it was these people and down filled clothing?
“How long do you plan to keep us hear Mrs Crawford?”
“Please call me Elizabeth”
“Alright Lizzie! How long do you and your creepy sidekicks plan to keep Natalie, Gayle and I captive on your weird little island?” Hayley’s voice took on an angry tone and got louder as the sentence went on. Something crossed Elizabeth Crawford’s face and Hayley instantly regretted what she had said. Lesson learned; don’t talk back to the boss.
“I heard that you were feisty and had a bit of a mouth. Let’s see if we can do something about that.” Hayley didn’t like the sound of that and watched on Liz opened a drawer in the bedside cabinet and produced a cloth and a large pillow gag with a leather strap. Hayley had managed to raise her head enough to get a look at the other contents of the drawer and didn’t think she liked where this was heading.
“Look can’t we discuss this. Not a fan of foreign objects in my mouth” Hayley said.
“Unfortunately no” was the reply as Liz lightly grasped Hayley’s chin, “now open wide. I thought that you would be used to this by now.” Hayley found the cloth stuffed into her mouth this was then supplemented by the pillow gag to hold it in place. Liz reached round and tightened the buckle on the leather strap at the back of Hayley’s head to keep the gag in place which forced the cloth deeper into Hayley’s mouth. “There that’s much better.”
“MMMMMPPPPHHHH” was the only noise that Hayley could make as the gag was effective.
“Hayley you are a very, very beautiful woman and I think you and I are going to have lots of fun for as long as you are a guest here.” Liz stood up and ran a finger slowly down Hayley’s body from just under her chin to where the diaper started then unzipped her down coat and let it fall to onto the carpet, exposing the fact that she was only wearing skimpy red lingerie. Hayley closed her eyes, now she was sure that she wasn’t going to like where this was going.
Chapter 21
The last thing that Hayley remembered was the smell of chloroform coming from the dust mask that Elizabeth Crawford had placed over her nose and mouth. For a change Hayley had welcomed the fumes and gladly taken deep breaths welcoming the darkness when it had come. To Hayley’s surprise when she found that she was not bound to the bed or gagged. There was a patterned silk gown on the bed next to her. Hayley assumed that this was for her so decided to put in on. It felt very smooth against her skin, which at this point didn’t feel at its best. Hayley walked around the room, her feet digging into the deep carpet to see if she could find anything useful. Her search was not fruitful and was interrupted by the door opening. Elizabeth Crawford entered carrying what Hayley could tell was a down suit and a diaper. “I hope that you enjoyed that as much as I did Hayley” Elizabeth said as she made her way to the bed to deposit the items on it. A shiver ran down Hayley’s back. She also noted that Elizabeth had changed into clothes and judging by the condition of Crawford’s hair was freshly showered. God, Hayley thought there was a good chance she would kill for a shower right now.
“Can’t remember a thing actually” Hayley replied. Hopefully that sounded more confident than it felt thought Hayley. Elizabeth Crawford moved away from the bed and toward a door. Hayley watched as the door was pushed open to reveal a large bathroom.
“I have a treat for you Hayley; a nice hot bath to soak in, soothing oils, fancy bubbles, aromatics, the works.” Hayley looked on stunned. This woman that had used her just a couple of hours ago was now offering her a reward.
“I would get into the bath before it cools down Hayley.” Crawford must have seen the look of confusion on Hayley’s face. As if this would explain it Crawford said “remember what Louise said about behaving and privileges. You have forty five minutes until the guards come to take you back. Be diapered and suited up when they arrive” With that Elizabeth Crawford turned and left the room.
Hayley thought about refusing the luxury on principal but personal hygiene got the better of her. Hayley entered the bathroom to find a large bath filled with steaming hot water, bubbles and judging by the gorgeous smell that greeted her lots of relaxing aromatics as promised. Well Hayley thought no point in letting it go to waste and she had definitely earned some reward. Stripping off her diaper and throwing it in the waste bin she plunged in. Lying back and trying to relax Hayley noticed a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates on a shelf within easy reach and decided to help herself.
The bath was heaven sent; it even had a massage setting. Hayley enjoyed the luxury for as long as possible before stepping out and drying off with a large fluffy towel. Hayley made her way reluctantly to the bed and picked up the diaper that Elizabeth Crawford had left. Hayley had never even put a diaper on a baby let alone herself, her only experience was being directed by Gayle on the boat earlier this week, or was it last week. Hayley unfolded the large, thick diaper and laid it flat in the middle of the bed. With a bit of effort Hayley managed to position her bottom over the centre of the diaper, sat down then lay flat on her back. Craning her neck to get a good view Hayley fumbled about with the front and sticky straps until she was satisfied that it was securely in place. Given how long she had been kept restrained for long periods of time and leakage was not an option. Hayley climbed off the bed and unfolded the down filled suit, stepped into the legs and put the suit on, zipping up the front. Hayley then sat on the bed and awaited the guards.
A couple of minutes later the door opened and the same two women who had brought her to the room appeared to take her back, again with the large old fashioned wheelchair. Hayley lay down on the bed. “Hit me with the chloroform ladies. A nap would be great right now.”
“Not this time Hayley. Mrs Crawford said that there would be no need for the return trip as long as you are blindfolded and gagged. Mrs Crawford said that it was your decision.” Hayley sat up on the bed.
“Wait, I get to choose?”
“Correct. What will it be; chloroform or blindfold and gag?” said Garrett
“Tough choice but I will go for blindfold and gag combination.” With that Hayley surprised her two captors by bounding across and sitting in the chair. “Strap me in ladies.” Taking great care with her dress Yelena kneeled down and stared to strap Hayley into the chair starting with the ankles straps. Although the straps were padded Hayley winced slightly as Yelena tightened the buckle on the strap. They did like to make sure the straps were secure Hayley thought. “Ladies are those outfits comfortable? Used to wear something similar at work, always liked it very lady like I thought.”
“Going to hurry up and gag her Garrett” said Yelena without looking up. “All this talk is bothering me.” Hayley made a mental note that Yelena may have a short fuse.
“How do you get that billowing effect on the dress? Is it a light frame or underskirts?” Hayley continued to talk before a cloth was forced into her mouth silencing her. This was followed by a pillow gag that was buckled behind her head. Hayley shrugged as Yelena secured the strap across her thighs that secured her to the seat of the chair then the strap across the stomach that secured her to the back of the chair, pressing her into the soft padding. Next Yelena secured Hayley’s wrist and upper arms to the chair using straps. Finally Garret lowered the blindfold or more accurately sleep mask over Hayley’s eyes blocking out the light. Hayley felt the brakes release on the chair as she was wheeled away. Hayley assumed that they would not take the most direct way back to the room to try and disorientate her; it is what she would have done in their position. Hayley was felt that she was wheeled down a corridor then stopped. Hayley was spun round and then moved backwards into a lift. Hayley was trying to take in am much as possible with her ears. At the moment all she could hear was the swishing and rubbing of fabric from the dresses worn by her captors. Hayley was guessing that it was underskirts rather than a frame under the outer skirts at this point. After the lift had gone up, down and back up again they exited and after another period of movement paused. Hayley heard a door open and was wheeled forward.
“Hayley!” Natalie and Gayle chorused.
“Back up ladies” Garrett said with menace. “Sit down on your beds. It’s time to get you restrained for the night. We will do Hayley first then you two so get prepared. It is lights out when we are finished until morning so if you need a diaper change get it done now.” Hayley assumed that they would be going into the restraining bags again for the duration. Hayley didn’t like being bound but this system was certainly better than rope and when you were in it you were far more comfortable than any bound person had the right to be. Hayley felt the straps loosen one by one as she was released from the wheelchair. Hayley felt a hand help her up from the chair. “Stand still whilst I remove the gag and blindfold” Hayley was happy to comply. Hayley blinked as her eyes adjusted to the light again. Hayley noted that two of the large restraint bags were already positioned on each bed, waiting to encase their captive in an inescapable cocoon of down then turned to see Garrett remove three small clear bags from a bag hanging on the rear of the wheelchair and hand them to Yelena Hayley could see that they contained the other instruments that would restrain them, the heavily padded gag, cuffs and straps. At this point Hayley was resigned to her fate and would not resist in any way as she was restrained.
“Let’s get on with it ladies. I am starting to feel a bit tired.” Hayley said to keep up the bravado. Any thoughts of more chat were ended as Garrett applied the gagged, jamming the soft ball into Hayley’s mouth and using the buckle to press the thick pad onto her lips. Next the finger control mitts were put on her hands followed by her wrists being secured with the padded cuffs and arms pinned to her body using a couple of straps. Once Hayley’s arms had been secured Yelena moved on to start securing Natalie whilst Garrett indicated the bed and Hayley gladly sat her rear on the first restraint bag and allowed Garrett to secure her ankles and legs with further straps. Once this was complete Hayley swung her legs onto the bed and get ready to be cocooned in down as Garrett flipped over the top of the bag and zipped it up.
“Thanks for the help. We will get the second bag once your friends have been restrained” Garrett said to Hayley over the top baffle of the bag and moved off. Due to the high collar Hayley couldn’t see what was going on but could follow the progress using sounds as Natalie and Gayle were bound for the night. Hayley felt her feet get lifted and helped as much as possible as she was slid inside the second bag. Once fully inside Garrett secured the centre zip on the bag. Hayley had to admire the way that the woman performed this task given what they were wearing. Hayley could hear Yelena and Garrett move around the room checking and tidying before the door opened and closed in quick succession. A couple of seconds later the lights went out and the room plunged into darkness. Hayley relaxed and got set for the night. Hopefully tomorrow would bring some opportunities to find a way to escape.
