A short story.

I pointed the extinguisher towards the door. And opened it, and fired the foam at the two men, then as they were blinded by the foam I swiped it across both of them knocking them to the floor.

I shut and locked the door again and got out onto the fire escape Lee who was waiting for me at the bottom “Come on sweet, we gotta get the hell out of here”

I pushed the “unlock” on my key and we jumped in to the car and drove off, into the night.

It took me two hours to get to my lodge, parking the car round the back, I showed Lee in “We should be safe here sweet” I said “You had better get some rest I will keep a lookout” Lee leaned over to me and Kissed me on the lips, “My saviour” She said and made her way into the bedroom.

 

The next morning I woke early only to find the two men I had ‘extinguished’ standing over me, one of them had a gun pointing at my head, Lee was dragged from the bedroom and we both bundle outside and into a waiting van, Lee looked at me with an apologetic look on he face, I smiled and said, “I been in worse tangles then this Lee, don’t worry baby I’ll think of something”

 

It must have been about an hour later, when the van stopped, we were both pulled from the back of the van and taken at gunpoint, I could see in the distance that saucer thing, I had seen the other night, it was just on the outskirts of the woods, we were shown inside, the men pushed us into a room and slammed the door behind us, after a couple of minutes the floor I was lying on started to vibrate I could  hear a dull hum, and thought to myself, “this could be a tricky one Johnny”

 

 Whether it was the pressure or just tiredness I don’t know, but I fell into a deep sleep, the next thing I knew was, that vibration had stopped I looked over to Lee she was still sleeping, just as I was about to shake her, the door of our room opened, and we were both taken out to another room where a old man with some sort of uniform gestured us to a seat we both sat down.

 

“Well my Earth friend you will be our guest for the time being,”

“Where are you taken us?” I asked,

“This young lady is to be taken to Io where she will serve her punishment, as for you, you will our guest until we can get you back to your home planet, you both can have full freedom of the ship, lets fact it there’s nowhere you can go”
