Sarah felt a rush of cold air as she opened her apartment door. She rolled her eyes as she turned the heat up and fussed. “I don’t understand why you insist on turning the heat off when we’re not home.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtzaGlaI7L
Chris briskly walked into their apartment carrying a duffel bag on his shoulder and dragging a roll-on suitcase behind him. “What are you fussing about?” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4mB75R8Nn
“Excuse you?” Sarah said taking her coat off and turning to face her husband. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5rHUcUlA
“We’ve haven’t been home even five minutes yet and you’ve complained about something.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKCJ8OX9u8
Sarah huffed then replied, “All I said was why do you turn the heat down when we leave?”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW14dMIf7mf
“It saves us money.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvb75IvVeK
“You know how much I dislike the cold.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzgtwA3zpL
“I’ll try to remember for next time.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3mgKAVKo3
Sarah walked into the kitchen and started the kettle. She opened the blinds and marveled at the falling snow as it seemed to cast a shadow over the city’s tall buildings.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1nwRVA9k6
“Honey, can you hand me the bag of chips from the cabinet?” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhmHMpVPFK
Sarah opened the cabinet and was surprised at the scarcity of it. “I’m gonna run to the store and pick up some food.” She said as she handed her husband the bag of chips.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgMODqcZwD
“Why don’t you stay at home. I mean-” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Ylsl0JRZ
“I’m a grown woman. I can leave whenever I please.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAvKINxOGv
“I just think we’ve had a few long days of vacation and travel. Plus with your sister coming by. Some rest will do you some good.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcJKvcKWhU
“I’ll be fine.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde0W6DsGsG
Sarah slipped on her coat and placed her wallet into a pocket on the inside of her coat. “Do you have anything in mind that you want me to pick up?”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQxLOq9b6
“No, but if you insist on going I’m heading out with you.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVxEYvYYod
“You have paperwork to catch up on right? And Chris…” Sarah paused and gripped the doorknob of the apartment door then continued “Don’t wait up for me.” Sarah scoffed then slammed the front door. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevDEvvtDo

Sarah glanced at her phone to make sure that the train was on the way. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQmQeXlTLc
“Cold day isn’t it?” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxSrUkU88
Sarah turned to the side as a man in a bright red jacket stood beside her. “Yes, it is.” Sarah then turned back to her phone and browsed through her photos. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7bSxmfvfE
“You’re very photogenic.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfRtwv1Q7
“Uh…thanks,” Sarah replied then took a few steps away from the man. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb17Ska2sIR
“Where are you going sweet cheeks?”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFn6bYPtBl
Sarah frowned as she sighed in relief as the train pulled into the station. She stepped onto the train and sat down at a seat near a window. She then squinted at the reflection as she noticed the man with the red jacket walking over to her. Sarah attempted to place her purse in the spot to block the man, but she wasn’t quick enough. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wBbfullLs
“Why did you leave?” The man sat close to Sarah.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pMywMOjmh
She could smell the alcohol on his breath and it seemed to seep from his clothing. “ Can you go away?” She then shifted her body closer to the window.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXhFJ3fB3S
“I didn’t do anything wrong?”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXPxvOsGKC
“Just go please.” Sarah swept her eyes across the train and she was upset that no one was on the train except for them.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB2EF8PdaL
“I just told you, lady, I’m not doing anything wrong. A little attention from a man won’t hurt you.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpkuOAgVvU
“Leave me be!” Sarah raised her voice.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdPKoWzt0j
“Come on. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVAcbqVKMj
She felt the man’s hands grasp her shoulders. She pushed him away and he grabbed her wrists. “Stop let me go!” Sarah yelled as she was trapped between the window and the man. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslkgP1eyJT
She didn’t notice as the train had pulled into the next station. A passenger went onto their side of the train. “If you don’t let go of her right now I will knock you out until next week.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8dSIzvQu6
Sarah recognized the voice but didn’t dare look up as she focused on the man’s grip on her wrists. Sarah yelled as the pain worsened. Her hands began to feel numb. She pulled and twisted to try and get away. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa7e5Myyn7
The man who was holding onto her was abruptly yanked away from her and pulled onto the ground. Sarah watched as the man was then handcuffed.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡissRL7dK7Z
“Who is he?” the man who just helped Sarah questioned.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGaPh5Nol
“Yeah. Who are you?” Sarah questioned as well as her wrists throbbed with pain. She finally looked up at the man who just rescued her. “David…What are you doing here?” Sarah stuttered as her eyes widened in shock. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgtgDy2O4x
“Going to the precinct and decided to not drive because I don’t want to get stuck in the snow. Why are you here?” David said as he sat the suspect in a seat parallel to Sarah. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dJgXOupSu
“We don’t have any groceries so I was on my way to pick up some.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Ltvnqj3I
“I’m surprised Chris didn’t come with you.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuBn5fYLAM
“He offered. I needed time to decompress and wind down.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2umkxfJNa
“Decompress? You both just got back from vacation.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFVliZiQja
“I know…” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiXCM03tav
Sarah stayed silent. She didn’t want to spill all her marital problems to her brother. She listened as David then called the precinct to meet them at the next train stop. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPktEhhc9W
“That man.” Sarah pointed to him. “He just started talking to me and he followed me onto the train.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipiRwVawEI
“I know you want me!” The man yelled viscously at Sarah. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5iKVQPIYW
David stood up and dragged the man closer to the train doors and said to him “If you move an inch there will be a problem.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqhZSRvyi3
Sarah was relieved when the train finally pulled into the next stop. She watched as David quickly handed the suspect over to Detective Adam and Detective Jake who were waiting nearby. She stepped off the train making sure to mind the gap between the train and the platform. 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkc0dTxWbr
“I’ll go with you to the grocery store. Let me just talk to Captain Arie about what happened.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wirR3K6B7
“I’ll be alright.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aZfxCarBK
“It doesn’t matter if you want me to or not. I’m joining you.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyJjD19HC1
“David?” Detective Adam called out.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKGOCiKeQ8
“Yeah.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rmJWxeR2O
“He has the same tattoo as the others.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqx7ausWRc
“What?” Sarah said as she began to pace and continued mostly to herself “How do they know where I am? Where I’m going and who I’m with?”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SUomPCzGi
“What’s your name, sir?” David questioned.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcW3Rtpp3E
“I’m not saying a word.” 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoErzK8PluX
“I can keep on adding more charges.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1DrBvipO3
“Like what?”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vhBCxvzab
“Resisting arrest.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XfuD8irLn
“I wasn’t resisting.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3eDfIHCZd
“I told you to let go of her multiple times and you didn’t comply with my orders.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfTWegGsxF
“Alright, alright. My name is Eric Redway.”325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN18LrmgaFL
Sarah shook her head then she leaned against the bright pink wall and closed her eyes. She couldn’t believe this was all happening to her.325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtvIc0sq2W
