Abducted

I was a few minutes late for work on this cold November morning, I love the Fall and Winter seasons the most. For the third time this month my lights have mysteriously gone out. I have talked to the neighbors and neither of their lights had went out. I hired an electrician and he had said that everything was fine.

I climb out of the bed and head to my closet to get dressed for work. Then I throw my hair into a bun and head down stairs in a hurry. I hear Trish in the kitchen getting things ready for the morning. I grab my keys and run out to the garage not saying hello to Trish and head to work. As I come to a stop at a stop sign my phone starts to ring.

"Hello" I answer.

"Mia, where are you?" You were supposed to be here by 8 o'clock." My boss James says.

"I know James and I am sorry. Something is going on with my electricity."

"Well hurry up and get here already, okay. We are running behind enough this month." Says James.

"You worry to much J., we will get everything done in time." I say.

"Yea, I am sure, well see you soon."

"Okay, I am about five minutes out." I say then hang up.

I arrive at the studio five minutes later and grab my things and run into the building. My phone starts ringing just as I walk into the building. I look at my phone and see Unknown Caller come across the screen. I decline the call and keep going.

As I walk in there is commotion all around. People going from one dressing room to another holding different outfits. I look around and my best friend since I have started with this company runs up to me.

"Mia, are you okay? You wasn't here and I got worried." Beth says with worry in her voice.

"Chill Beth, I'm fine, just another mishap with the electricity." I tell her.

"Do you think it is that guy from last year?" Beth asked.

"No, he is long gone by now Beth. He wouldn't dare to come back now. I am going get dressed for the shoot, as should you before we are both replaced." I say as I walk toward my dressing room.

"You really should let James hire those body guard for you. Especially after what happen." Beth says as she catches up with me.

"I can handle myself Beth. I don't need some know it all tough guy telling me what to do." I say then walk into my dressing room and close the door.

I put on the first outfit and walk out, then head to hair and makeup. Once they are done I walk back out to meet everyone. I listened and went to the spot that I was told. This lasted for about an hour before everyone was finally able to take a short brake. So, Beth and I decide to go out to our normal spot to talk.

"I'm serious Mia, you need to think about those body guards. Something is up at your house and you're getting phone calls at all hours." Beth says

"Beth I told you I don't need a body guard. He would just gt in the way." I say checking my phone and sighing.

"Whats wrong M? More calls?"

"Yea, I even changed my number twice since what happen and I am still getting the stupid calls."

"Cheer up girl, the police will catch the guy."

"They are no closer to catching the guy then they were the day it happen." I say.

"Have you even called the agent in charge of your case?"Asked Beth.

"No, why should I bother him when I already know what they are going to say. Now lets gt back before they come looking for us." I say as I stand up.

We go back inside and head back to our dressing rooms. I hurried to put on my next outfit and rushed back to hair and makeup, and took a few more brakes. During one of the brakes I see James go off to the side and make a phone call. I have a feeling that he is making the call for a body guard. I know he means well, but I really don't need anyone knowing, It will get back to him.

"Hello Kenwood Protection Services. How may I help you?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes, I was wondering if I could hire someone to protect one of my models. There was an incident last year and she was hurt and hat to be hospitalized. We don't want anything else happening to her." James said.

"Of course sir, how soon do you need someone?" She said.

"Well I would like someone here now if you can, I need your best person on this. I don't want anyone less." James says.

"Okay sir, it just so happens our best guy has just got back from a vacation. Where would you like me to send him."

"You can send him to Lakeview Studios. You do know where that is, don't you?"

"Yes sir, I do. We will send him right over."

"Thanks" James says and hangs up his cell.

I watch James put his phone back in his pocket and comes back to stand next to the photographer. Since the agency was behind everyone worked later than we normally did. Everyone was having a good time with the photo shoot and if we had another day like this we were sure to be back on track for the season in two weeks.

Once the shoot was done everyone went back to their dressing rooms to get back into their normal clothes. Beth and I walk to our cars when a man walks up to us.

"Excuse me, but do you know where I can find a guy named James?" The guy asks.

"Yea he's right over there." I point.

The mystery guy walks over to where I point and starts talking to James. Mean while I turn back to Beth and see she is in awe of the man.

"Earth to Beth." I say while waving my hand in front of Beth's face.

"Oh, sorry Mia. I wonder who that guy is?"

"I have a guess but I don't really care right now. I have enough things to worry about." I state.

"Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yea, I'll try to be here on time this time. Later girl." I say.

I watch Beth get in her car and drive off. I turn to get in my truck when I hear my name being called. I turn around and see James and the mysterious guy walking over to me.

This is the first time I am really able to look at him. He looks to be about 6'5 and very muscular. His hair is dark black and looks like hall he does is runs his hand threw it every morning. Once he is in front of me I can see that his eyes are a beautiful shade of green.

"Mia, I want you to meet Brandon your new body guard. He is to go where ever you go, in till that lunatic is caught." James says.

Brandon extends his hand but I just look at him and then to James.

" I told you James, I don't need a body guard. I can take care of myself, I don't need a babysitter. So you can just send him away." I say.

"Well you either do this or you won't be able to work here much longer. We can't take any chances of you getting hurt cause of the company." Says James.

"Come on James, you wouldn't really fire me just because of that stupid little incident." I say.

"Little! You call what happen to you little. Mia you freaking ended up in the hospital." James says worriedly.

"It could have been worse James." I say.

"Yea it could have. I am serious Mia, you either take the body guard or you do't show up tomorrow." James says.

"Okay fine I'll have a body guard. Just as long as he stays out of the way." I say.

"Okay, he is to be with you at all hours Mia. He goes where you go. Beth told me about the calls that you have been getting. Try changing your number again. I want to see you here tomorrow by 7 a.m." Says James, then walks away and heads to his car.

"So, you have your own ride or am I suppose to have you tag along in my truck too?" I ask.

"Well, how I normally have it, I would drive you but it looks to me there is no way that is happening here, so I'll just follow you to your place and we can talk about this when we get there or tomorrow when your free." Brandon says.

"Yea sure, what ever. We need to hurry up then. I do have a life outside of this." I say waving my arms signifying everything around me.

I then get in my truck and start it and start heading home. Brandon runs to his truck that is parked not far and heads after me.
