Taken

Present

It was late in the night. Alexander Peterson rushed after his wife but she was gone. He was restless, he knew he was losing her.

'Lisa has never done this... this might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back but we can fix this', Alex thought and searched frantically for his wife.

After a fruitless search, he got back in and picked up the divorce papers. His wife's signature was boldly sitting on the papers.

"This is not going to happen!" Alex yelled. He tore the papers and flung the pieces up in the air.

"Hurray! Come play with us". His youngest son; Sammy saw the papers flying up in the air and called out to Jerry; his elder brother.

"What about mum?" Jerry asked his father as soon as he walked in. "She went to a friend's, she will be back soon. Come, let's have dinner," Alex said and pushed them to the dinning.

Jerry ate all by himself while Alex spoon fed Sam. They soon fell asleep after dinner. Alex tucked them in and made his way out into the cold night.

Habits die hard. Lisa Peterson rampaged her purse and brought out a stick of cigarette out of its pack. She brought out a lighter and soon the cigarette burned.

She drew in the smoke puffed out. She did it repeatedly until she exhausted it and lit another stick.

Lisa could not believe she smoked again. She had stopped long ago while she was still single but now she is a married woman with two kids and here she was.

Tears flowed from her eyes as she spewed out the unfinished cigarette and stumped hard on it. "Damnit! Argh! It's not working!" She yelled out loud. She needed to get high to retain her sanity. She was losing her mind and she knew it.

"What an exotic beauty! This is superfluous!" A man complimented as soon as Lisa walked into Randy bar. This had all attention drawn to her.

"You're blind or something!?" Lisa said and dazzled the ring on her ring finger in the air. The bar roared in disappointment while the man that made the compliment smirked coyly.

Lisa was a hot lady whose beauty and looks betrayed her age. Her wide hips are supple and supplied with fats at the right places. They flowed with grace.

Despite motherhood, her perfectly proportioned round breasts seemed firm and well seated on her chest like dunes in a sandy desert. This gave her a sexy and salacious figure that men could hardly resist.

A bartender took her orders. "Ma'am are you sure you want these? Hmm ... they are strongly alcoholic..." The bartender said.

"Are you high or something?!" Lisa roared out loud.

The bartender bowed and ran off to fix her order. "She ordered two strong alcoholic drinks, she would be drunk before exhausting just a glass.' He thought as he got her order fixed.

Lisa opened the first drink and gulped it all down her throat. The bar roared with delight and appraisal. Lisa became tipsy almost immediately, her eyes were seeing double and her gait on the seat became unstable. She was about to gulp down the second drink when the man from earlier walked up to her and grabbed the drink from her. He took his seat beside her.

"Common, be careful. I am Jim," the man said and introduced him with his nickname. "You know, I can make this more fun," he added.

"You're... sure?" Lisa asked

"Of course".

"I want to be high, high, high in the sky. That is all I need.., high high high in the sky." Lisa responded drunkenly.

"Trust me, we are really going higher... The bills on me," Jim said and walked up to the cashier to pay her bills. He returned and picked-up the untouched drink whilst his other arm held Lisa's waist.

The bar roared in applause as he took Lisa out.

Jim was a professional at his job. He was a con artist and knew when and where to strike. He was struck by Lisa's beauty at first but at a closer look, he realized she was the wife of the director of Evans Mechanics. This was indeed a big fish.
