Baggage Claim (Part One)

“Choose wisely.” The deep voice resounded across the small corridor.
Genevieve lifted her weary head to glimpse the man hiding behind the bars entrapping her. He smirked at her weakness and licked his cracked lips in expectation of her forced decision. She glimpsed a spark of evil glaze over his eyes and a slither of fear glided up her limbs.
Her hands were shackled behind her back and she felt the blood oozing from the cuts on her wrists. She tried to take a deep breath to calm her sudden nerves, but her broken ribs sent sharp stabs of pain into her middle.
Pushing her fear to the dark reaches of her brain, she glared at the menace before her. She gathered the last bits of her strength to spit at his boots, an action of defiance that she knew would infuriate him. A small smile of satisfaction lit her bruised face before he tasered her into unconsciousness.
