Her movement roused Randy. He opened his eyes to see her. They looked into each others eyes in the dim green light. Then he said, "Are we in space?"

"I think so."

"They put us to sleep."

"Yea. And now we have to wait. I can move. You want to try?"

"OK." He moved about, they both moved their legs, their bodies, around each other. They would find a means of exerting force then try it. But to no avail. The area they were in was a little larger and they could feel a bit more of each other.

"Who are you, really?" Erisa had to ask. It probably did not matter much any more anyway.

"My name is Randy Shaeffer. I'm a cop, a detective to be precise. I went to your house because my Chief thought I might get the kidnappers to go for me. I have no idea why he thought that, but he was right. You seem like a nice girl." He moved his hand over hers and looked at her. "What happened? Why did they kidnap you?"

"They think that I penetrated their secret on the Internet. Actually, right now they think that maybe Jack did. They asked me some questions I couldn't answer. They are sure, I think, that it was either me or Jack. In other words, me or you. Anyway, I don't know the secret. I have no idea what is going on, really. I suspect my Jack does."
