“Last night was great,” Danny whispered.

“I know,” Kimiko replied as she swept the floor. “I enjoy very much.”

As soon as Kimiko had appeared to clean his room, Danny had noticed the natural smile she wore, like a woman freed of her shackles. She was beautiful, he thought, kind and sweet. He watched her vacuum, tempted to walk up to her and kiss her on her gorgeous lips.

“Guard be here soon,” she warned. “Better get out of clothes.”

Realising what time it was, Danny unbuttoned his jeans and took them off while sat on the edge of his bed. Then he pulled his jumper and T-shirt over his head before whipping off his underwear. It was shower time.

He stood naked in front of Kimiko, who had a lovely smile for him while he waited for the guard’s arrival. He wanted her badly – he could have taken her right there and then on the bed – but he’d have to wait until later for that.

One of the guards entered.

Danny took a step forwards, meeting the guard’s stare. After a while, he started feeling uncomfortable. The foreign guard was staring at him for too long. “Are we going, or what?”

The guard turned and stood in the doorway.

Danny heard raised voices, followed by screaming and shouting coming from outside. A male voice shouted for assistance, and the guard turned to him and said, “You wait here,” before rushing off in the direction of the showers.

Danny stepped into the doorway and looked to his right. He couldn’t see anyone.

He looked to his left, and while it was all clear at the bar, he couldn’t be sure whether all the guards were down in the shower area or not.

Deciding it was now or never, he turned to Kimiko, kissed her on the lips and said, “I love you, but I’ve got to go.”

Without thinking, he ran towards the stairs in front of him. He heard Kimiko shout, “Danny, wait!” Adrenaline drowned out everything after that.

As he ran towards the steps, he heard a guard call after him.

Although his legs felt like jelly, he was sprinting.

He flew up the stairs – his feet barely making contact with the carpet – and he could see the opening getting closer with every step. He was almost at the top, almost there.

By the time he reached the top stair, he could hear one of the guards right on his tail.

When his front foot made contact with the barn floor, a searing pain shot through his heel as something sharp tore through his skin, causing his foot to erupt in a pool of blood.

Before he could stop himself, his other foot met the same fate, the skin tearing and a gush of blood pooling on the floor.

With a scream, he fell backwards, shards of glass piercing his back.

The guard behind him grabbed his hair and pulled him down the carpeted stairs, a line of blood pouring out of his skin.

Danny was dragged through the bar area, along the corridor – past his room and all the others – and then over to the left, stopping outside the second room of five.
