On the way home she couldn't stop thinking about the callers tone of voice. He seemed to be taunting her, but how did he know her daughters name and the play group she attended. It wasn't a threatening call but he did seem to know too much about her to be a total stranger.

That afternoon she received the second call.

“Hello Vicky, I saw you got home safely with Chloe and your friend. Now, I know you're confused but I need you to listen very carefully. I know more about you and your family than you will ever comprehend, and if you want to keep them safe, you will do EXACTLY as I say. Do you understand Vicky...?”

“Who are you...? What do you want...?”

“All in good time Vicky, but first I need you to understand that this is not a joke or crank call. Your husband Liam will be home at five thirty and you will act perfectly normal, prepare the dinner as usual and go to bed at nine thirty to read your book.”

“How do you know what time I go to bed...? Who the hell are you...?”

“And Vicky, I must stress... you will not say anything about these calls to Liam or else your beautiful little daughter Chloe may have to go away for a while.”

“WHAT...! What are you talking about...?”

“I'll call you back tomorrow with your first set of instructions and check your mail tomorrow morning.”

Excerpt from Chapter 1

At the car park she walked to the bench and sat down, looking all around to see who could be watching, but the area was deserted. At one o'clock the phone rang, “Yes... I’m here.”

“Hmm m... Very nice Vicky, now stand up and turn around so I can see your lovely long legs and bottom.”

“So you can see me..!”

“Oh yes... I've been watching you a lot lately, especially at home in your house.”

“In my house…! What are you talking about...?”

“Oh yes, I'm an electronics surveillance expert... I can switch on microphones and cameras on your computers, phones and well... I can't tell you any more or else we won't be able to play... So stand up and do a nice slow twirl for me.”

Vicky stood up, scanning all around as she slowly turned full circle. Nobody was in sight, only woods and open roads with not even any cars parked.

“You’re truly beautiful Vicky now sit down and part your legs.”

“WHAT…!”

“You heard Vicky, part your legs and sit back on the bench... I want to see your stocking tops and knickers.”
