The Awakening by Prec1ous(m): 3:03pm On Nov 09, 2013
CHAPTER ONE

EPISODE 1

It was getting darker and late, time seems to fly or so she thought. she had sneaked out while he slept. this afforded her the chance to make a break with his watch, phones and his briefcase. she wanted to leave that behind but she had taken it and as she trudged under its weight into the night she cursed under her breath, but she kept on because it might hold some fortune and by the way she was going sell the phone and wristwatch to the shady arab by the roadside, she smiled devilishly.

recalling how they met by afternoon, she had seduced him because of the smell of his expensive perfume and accent which she had so become used to in her line of business to differentiate between the well to do and the mere hustlers. he had approached her and introduced himself after catching her staring consecutively. they shared a glass of cognac and off they went into room 309, where he was lodged in before.

he went into the bathroom and she had slipped the pill into his glass. as soon as he came out she offered it to him and without thought the downed the all content, he held her closely running his hands on the small of her back,as he lowered his head down for a kiss, he slumped as his pupil turned white and she rolled him onto the couch. she picked his phone and watch, then the case on second thought. and as she hurried through the reception the receptionist never even looked up.

she slipped into the night, that was her modus operandi. she was brought back from her thought by a dog barking from afar and just then the phone rang. she ended the call, took out the battery and threw the simcard into the drainage. she hurried through the night, took a series of turns, hailed a cab and hopped IN.

"where to" he asked

'take me far from here" she said "take me downtown"
