I grimace in pain as Nikki bites my ear. 'Oh my god, is she going to bite it off,' I can't help but wonder. When she finally releases, my ear still stings, but it is the words that follow that hurt the most. 'This bitch really is crazy, and she's threatening me.'

When I started driving a cab for him, no before that, when he sent me off to college, my father told me to never allow myself to be kidnapped, to always put up a fight. 'Once you are kidnapped,' he would say, 'you are dead.'

Heeding father's words, I start to shake insanely in my bonds, screaming "Help! Help! Help!" over and again. Yeah, there's no getting out of the bonds, but I might just be able to piss Nikki off enough that she has to set me free...

That's when I'll pounce.
