 My day started out like any other. I woke up, had a shower, did my hair and make-up, got dressed and left for the bank before work. 

   As I waited in line at the bank I pulled at my slightly too small skirt. It was laundry day so I had to do with what I had. 

   "Listen lady you cant just cut in line!" someone shouted from the line next to mine. I turned my head and saw a burly looking man sticking his thick finger in an elderly womans face. 

    "I-Im sorr-" 

   "You geezers think you can do whatever you want! If its not the bank, its one the street or in the store. Im sick of you all so take your sorry and shove it up you-"

    "Hey!" I shouted as I exited my line and entered theirs.

    "Fuck off Barbie." he turned is ugly snarl on me.

    "No you fuck off! What gives you the right to talk to someone like that?"

    "Listen bitch I-"

   "No you listen! It is not okay to talk to people like that. Show some repect! Either you apologize and shut the hell up, or you can take your ugly ass and walk it out the door!"

    "How dare you!" he reaches a hand towards my shoulder but its stopped by another arm. 

    "I think its time you left big guy." a calm voice says. I turn my head to look at the man talking and try not to let my jaw drop. This is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen. He is wearing a crisp light purple dress shirt that compliments his tanned skin perfectly. He has thick forearms and biceps that conect to a broad chest and shoulders. His jaw is perfectly skulpted, is lips so kissable I need to fight the urge to do so. Hair ink black and eyes so piercing blue they blur. Those wonderful eyes were trained steadily on the man ready to lunge at me. 

     "Excsue me?"

     "You heard me. Lets not cause any more of a scene alright?"

     The large man looked quickly around at all the people looking at use and then without another word, walked right out of the building. 

     "Oh thank you, Sir and you too, Miss! That was very kind of you!" The elderly lady said, grasping each of our hands.

     "No problem, ma'am." I replied. 

    "No preblem at all. Are you both alright?" The man asked. He turned to me and quickly looked me over.

    "Yes, thank you." 

    "Good." He turned around and hunched a little, putting something over his head. When he turned around he was wearing a black ski mask and had a gun in his hand. "Now everyone get on the ground!"

I stood in shock as everyone around me feel onto their stomachs. I stared at the man before me, only his eyes visible. I can see the narrowing as he points the the gun to my head. 

     "You going to be difficult?" he growled. I shook my head silently and slowly laid down. "Thank you." he said before turning his back. Men and women in similar uniform swept through the bank slightly crouched with guns ready. "We wont hurt you unless you give us a reason to, so I suggest you all do as you are told." 

     They opened the vaults behind the counter and proceeded to stuff money into black duffle bags. The blue eyed man, who seemed to be in charge of mission walked slowly around glancing at peoples hands to make sure they had no cell phones or cameras. He finally came back to me and crouched down to my level. "You will be coming with me sweetheart." My eyes widen in fear when he grabs my arm and gently lifts me to my feet. He glances at the elderly woman he had helped earlier, "I wont take you. ma'am. I just hope you make the right choice and keep your mouth shut, eh?" she nodded nervously then placed her forehead on the ground. 

     "All right crew, you are out in one minute. Get everything and go! We will meet you at base." The man propelled me forward and a woman and another man strolled up beside us. We walked behind the counters and to a dug out trap door underneath a desk. Blue eyes lifted the latch, Ill climb down and then you, yeah?" I nodded again and waited as his head disappeared in the darkness. When I hear the OK I started down myself on shaky legs. About half way down I felt his large hands hold my calves. "Good girl." he murmured.

     The two others followed us as he led me through the tunnel. in a short amount of time we were going up and were outside being herded into a Honda Civic. In a matter of seconds we were on the main road just when the police were arriving. My captors took off their masks and relaxed. 

     "Can you believe that shit?!"  the woman said, grinning from ear to ear. "We just made it!" she clapped her hands and then started to settle. Blue eyes looked over at me and grinned a little.

     "Sorry about all this. But you're a liability now and I would rather not kill you." I turned my head straight, looking out the windshield and thought to myself, "If he doesn't plan to kill me, what  else will he do?

 We drove around the city for almost half an hour before we stopped at a Target.  Everyone exits the car execpt Blue Eyes. He turns to me, "Listen sweetheart, we're taking you with us, if you haven't already figured that out."

 I nod.

 He sighs.

 "We aren't that bad, I promise." he states, a small smile pulling at his lips. The rest of his group have joined us, a few bags in their hands.

 "Got her some clothes and the sleeping mask. Also got some muchies. I hope you like Pringles and Gatorade." The same woman speaks as before. She was very enthusiastic about robbing the bank. But what else could I expect from and bunch of bank robbers. She's very cute, doesnt look like the type to commit a crime. She has a short light brown bob, big Bambi eyes, and cute bow lips. Combined with all of that and the fact she's only about 5 feet tall, she looks like a little fairy. 

 She hads Blue Eyes and sleep mask that says "I need my beauty sleep" in cursive. 

 "Since you have technically been kidnapped" - technically? I have literally been kidnapped - "and cant have you running away from us quite yet, you're going to have to wear this for the duration of our trip." He places it over my head, without my complaint. I figure its better if they think I'm mute. When he secures it, quickly patting my covered eyes, he taps my nose. "Good girl."

 "Ayoo! Blondie, wake up!" I open my eyes in a panic, to find nothing but darkness. Oh right, the sleep mask. I lift my hands to remove the mask, but let them sit at the edge. Am I aloud to take it off?  "You can take if off sweet cheecks." 

 The light is extremely bright, causing me to squit and my capturers. Blue Eyes is to my right, the fairy girl on my left, a  burly dark skinned man in the passenger, and a scrawny ginger in the drivers seat. And all their eyes are on me. I stay silent. 

"What's your name darlin'?" the front passenger asks, his voice containing a rough southern drawl. "How you feelin'?" 

"I...I feel fine." 

"Well, you can call me Dixie. What should I call you?" I try not to laugh at the big man. He has the name of a new puppy, not exactly suiting. But still, I try to avoid the question.

"What an interesting name." Thick fingers grab my cheecks and turn my head to the right.

"What is your name." Blue Eyes stares me down, demanding my obedience. He presses harder when I hesitate.

"Violet." I whisper. 

"Good girl." He releases my face to retrieve something at the bottom of his feet. My wallet. "Violet Stone. Age 24. Likton, Ohio." He continues to flip through my personables. "Starbucks card, not surpising. Oh, you're an organ donor, that could come in handy." He winks at his crew, a sly smile on his face. What in the world is that supposed to mean? "Debit card, credit card, Chipotle card, a condom.." I grab the wallet out of his hands in confusion. I don't carry condoms, that is just not me. 

The lauhgter that bursts from his chest startles me, the wallet falling to my lap. 

"I am just fucking with you, baby. The name is Max." Max holds out his hand for me to shake, mine don't move and inch towards his. His eyes narrow, a snarl scaring his lips. "Show respect girl, before you regret it." I grasp his hand in my own and try to ignore the tingly feeling it gives me. "Good girl. Now we are half way back to base, let's not waste any more time." The engine comes to live as the blindfold is put back into place, plunging my eyes and minds back into darkenss.
