The phone is ringing. It's marked as an unknown number, but you know well who is calling. You pick it up quick and press the piece to your ear. It's quiet for moment before a recorded female's voice speaks to you, curt and business-like, but still sultry, grabbing your attention by the throat with lace ribbons, speaking words dipped in honey.
"Hello. There has been a change of plans. Your new appointment is in the city. A message will be left on your answering machine concerning the details. Be on time, be discreet, and do not disappoint us."
The line goes dead.
That ending sounded like a warning, veiled behind those 'come hither' words.
You put the phone down. There's not much you can do now, especially when the important questions you have to answer yourself do not include questioning who you are. The mask you hold in your hand is all you need to be at the moment.
That and the VHS you rented. After all, you can't have any late fees.
You grab the cassette that sits on your bed and read the title of the cheesy flick aloud as you make your way out towards your car. The title makes you unconsciously lift your mask up to your eye level.
