Helen thought there was something dodgy about the bloke who came to fit her new intruder alarm! Just something threatening in his demeanour, nothing you could point to explictly, more the feeling that he was a very calculating professional in a different field altogether. A field like kidnapping, perhaps?

When he stole back into her apartment that afternoon, he knew the fake alarm he'd rigged up wouldn't give him away. He had his assignment, the camera in his pocket to provide the evidence the client needed, and a nice big roll of gaffer tape with which to restrain the subject. And a good professional pride in a well-executed kidnapping!
