The fizzing contents from the Diet Coke can spilt over the glass as Alecia poured herself a drink. She had dropped the can and hadn’t given enough time before opening it. She couldn’t wait, she was too thirsty. Only caffeine could shift the heavy thump that was driving her insane. She couldn’t shift a pounding headache, but the dizziness from the hangover had now eased off. Tim was on her mind again, having now spent an hour reading random news sites as a usual Sunday tradition of hers to catch up with worldly events from the week.

There was something peculiar about Tim that didn’t seem quite right, yet she couldn’t put her finger on it. The more she thought about him, the more she tried to imagine him in normal life, doing a normal job. He was a man with a wealthy family, that hugely successful hotel business, he didn’t come across very sexual, but didn’t get involved in any of the activities from the club. He paraded himself around commanding respect. Overconfident, slightly cocky, yet wealthy businessmen and women continued to pay him extortionate membership fees for the use of his club with escorts being treated like human sexual aids for weird sexual fetishes. It was an experience she couldn’t tell anyone about. Maybe Tim, loves the authority, or secretly gets off on it all in private?

Why would he get involved in that line of work, she wondered, if you’re wealthy, why the need for a business offering sex games that seemed demoralising. What does he get out of it?

Thinking back on her sessions with Jake, he had never mentioned meeting Tim, or the alternative name of Mr X. She couldn’t help but think if they had ever met. Was he the husband of Kerry that night when Jake was lured there? There was only one way to find out as she grabbed hold of her mobile phone. Once again, curiosity got the better of her.

‘Jake. Sorry I meant, Mr Parker it’s Alecia – is it safe to talk?’ She asked as he answered the phone. ‘I need to ask you something important about Sordida if you have time? Something that’s been bugging me for a little while.’

‘Yeah that should be alright. I haven’t got an appointment that I’ve missed have I?’ Jake replied. ‘What’s up? What’s on your mind?’

‘I was thinking about what you told me about the mirrored room at Sordida. The one that was all red.’ Alecia explained. ‘Do you remember the husband who sniffed the drugs off of his wife’s body, what did he look like again, can you describe him for me?’

‘Um, he was military looking. Like he would be the kind of guy who did a lot of fitness at the gym. I’d say roughly about six-feet tall – why?’ Jake asked. ‘You haven’t forgotten about the stuff we discussed from our appointments already have you?’

Alecia laughed. It didn’t sound like the same guy after all. She didn’t recall meeting anyone like it either.
