Sitting in the dark, she let out a breath; there had to be some way out
of this… there just had to be.  Musing
over the thought that maybe there would be a quick end to this, her eyes darted
around the confinement; she hoped that it would all be over soon.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Quietly, She walked over to the door and

spot, she could hear him getting closer and as he came to the door she heard
