Date
“You talked me into this.”
“What’s to fear?” I said. “We just take her somewhere quiet.”
Zhou was a straight-A student. His only flaw was cowardice.
“You owe me. If you hadn’t pushed me…”
He started the car.
Half an hour later in the old classroom the woman stared at Zhou in fear.
“This isn’t kidnapping?” he muttered. “What next?”
No answer.
Zhou turned. Only he and the woman remained.
“Hello?”
He grabbed the walkie-talkie. Only static.
“Where are you?”
In panic he asked the woman, “Did you see another person?”
Not the best opening for a date, Mr. Zhou.
