When Tina awoken she was surrounded by darkness. The floor boards vibrated and tickled her legs as she tried to get her bearings. Where was she and what had just happened? One thing was obvious, she was in the back of a moving van. To her dismay," Mr.T " and the "A-Team " were not in the van to greet her. Her hands were cuffed behind her back so tight that she could feel her hands losing circulation.
Tina sat up straight and relaxed her arms to help bring back feeling in her hands. She wondered how long she had been asleep. She took a deep breath and could smell a sulfur stench in the air. That meant gunpowder and she knew she was in trouble. She pushed her left shoulder into the floor and squirmed around like a worm hoping to find something to aid her. Pivoting in every direction, she scoured the dirty floor until she stumbled into a burlap bag. She used her pretty face to poke around inside of the bag. Sure enough she had discovered where the sulfur smell was coming from. She dug her teeth into what felt like a stick of dynamite.
Was it really dynamite or just a road flare? She didn't know but it was time for her to play Mcgyver. Tina neatly combed through every square inch of the van's floor boards hoping to find a lighter or matches.
It was a relentless search and she ended up empty handed. She sat the stick of dynamite onto the floor and wept like a child. This was all a horrible nightmare. Where was Steve? If he were here this never would've happened. Steve was Tina's boyfriend who often went jogging with her. But Steve was out with his feeble-minded friends at the races in Dover.
Tina had given up all hope when something sharp pricked the back of her hand. Ouch! Sticking out of the floor boards was a sharp nail. She felt a sudden rush of exhilaration permeate her body as she placed her duct taped legs over top of the nail. She shimmied her legs vigorously across the nail until it hewed right through the tape. She kicked apart the last few strands of tape and rejoiced in her accomplishment.
"People with last names like mine don't fail." She told herself.
Her legs were free but her hands were still cuffed behind her back.
"Just one thing at a time" She told herself.
Just then the van came to a complete stop and the engine cut off. It was time to meet her abductor and she had a really big surprise for him. Big surprise.
