He hasthe weary look of a man who has seen it all, a man who is neversurprised.The entrance door slides open. Two stunningly beautiful young women,AMA...NDA and BETHANY, enter. Both are dressed for clubbing and arewearing short, revealing skirts and tight tops that leave little tothe imagination. They are holding hands, and Amanda is leadingBethany into the store. AMANDA C'mon!Amanda pulls Bethany over to a display of small red, white,. “There’s not much to say,” Betsy said, “Let’s go to lunch.”“Where do you want to go?” Sally asked getting out of her chair.“I don’t care. I’m not really very hungry,” Betsy said.“You’ve really got it bad, don’t you?”“I don’t know what you mean,” Betsy said.“Be that way,” Sally said. Knowing she would get a rise out of Betsy, she added, “Since you don’t care where we eat, how about fish tacos?”“Don’t be revolting! Fish tacos? How dare they call that fish dish a taco? That’s like saying a cherry. That was the start of a wonderful friendship between Amy and me. Over thenext few weeks, I spent so much time at her house, my momma once said itwas like I lived there and came home only to visit. Silly mommy! I spentso much time at Amy's only because I loved playing with her dolls, herstuffed animals, and her. She quickly became my best friend in the wholeworld.I was spending so much time at her house that it was only natural forAmy's mommy (Mrs. Jones) and mine to get together so they could. As soon as they did I heard a humming sound coming from above us. I looked up to see two more lengths of heavy chain with large hooks at the ends being lowered from the ceiling.I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. I felt a sick sense of dread washing over me. I hadn't a clue as to what they intended to do to us. But with all these preparations I knew it was going to be something terrible. I want to beg for mercy but I don't dare open my mouth. I know if I do I'll just make things worse.
