"It's me," Thorne said, "I was hoping I could meet up with you after work," he said.

"Oh, sorry, I'm a bit tied up today." Taylor said. "I don't know when I can free myself up quite yet."

"Ok," he said, looking around. He headed over to another worker, "I'll see you later."

"See you later too. Love you." Taylor said, and Noland ended the call, replacing the tape and bag. He carried her down, and tossed her into the van the thin man had rented.
"What took you so long?" He asked.
"She's a lively one." Noland said. Taylor kicked him in the shin blindly, and he grimaced a little.

"So, now that we have her, would you mind letting me in on what you plan to do with her?" Noland asked, moving forward.
"None of your business." He replied simply.
"Can I at least have a name to call you?" Noland asked.
He thought for a moment as he drove. "Carter."

"You don't have to be here," one of his workers said, "You can go see her."
"You guys need my help," Thorne told them, "I'll see her later. I need to be here to help."

"Well, Carter, if we're going to be business partners in this little venture of ours, I need to know what you'll be doing." Noland said. "I'm not a fan of allowing women to be abused."
"Your job is to secure her and make sure she stays put, not to give me approval." Carter snapped.
"Well, see here Carter." Noland said, pulling out his carving knife. "I don't have my fiddle with me. It helps me to calm down. Now, I suggest you don't piss me off while I'm holding a large sharp object and start talking, hm?"
Is he... on my side? Taylor wondered, listening to the conversation. Hearing was about the only sense she had left at this point.

"Besides," Thorne said as he picked up a piece and examined it, "She's busy. Even if I left, she has things going on." Maybe he should call her again, get an idea of WHAT it was that she had, and when she might be done...

Carter glanced to the knife in Noland's hand. "Make sure she can't hear us." He said.
"Why? You don't want to spoil the surprise?" Noland asked, twirling the knife around in his hand. "You should be man enough to let her in on your top secret little plans, eh?"

Instead of calling, he left her a text, asking what she was doing and when she might be done.

The phone went off. "You brought her cell phone?" Carter asked, angry.
Noland brandished the knife. "Never piss off the psychotic murderer with the sharp object, especially when he's already not exactly a fan of you." He checked the text, and quickly typed out a simple reply, saying she was meeting with record executives and she had no idea when she'd be done.

Thorne received an answer and looked at it. He put it out of his mind for now and went back to work, but there was something...odd.

"Oh sure, why not just tell her... boyfriend, that something's wrong." Carter snapped, hesitating on the word "boyfriend".
"Well, I can deal with him." Noland said.
"We're here." Carter said, stopping the van and the conversation suddenly. Taylor could hear Carter step out, and felt Noland throw her over his shoulder.

Thorne tried to put it out of mind, but he couldn't. He was going to text her a follow up shortly.
