to face him Dominic swung a wrench he had picked up off the work bench. It hit her in the side of the head with a sickening thud. The blow had been hard and she crumpled to the ground unconscious and bleeding. He quickly moved her between two shipping containers. He took her phone and threw it into the recycling. He took her earrings and watch and threw them away as well. Not wanting to miss anything he took off all of her clothes except her underwear and disposed of them.
    The C aptain was not happy being told there might be a delay. There were not to be any abnormalities on this trip whatsoever. After Vincent told him what he had sent Dominic to do, the Captain immediately called control. "I need a secure line with Thomas immediately." After a few seconds Thomas picked up the secure phone. "You're secure Captain, what’s the problem?" Thomas was a friend, a fishing partner, and hopefully someone he could trust. "I need the security cameras in the hanger and around the launch area turned off now. If you have any issues with this request talk to Randy only. Turn them off right now. If you don’t it will compromise this mission." Thomas turned off the cameras just seconds before Dominic appeared and kidnapped Agent Murphy.
    Dominic put A gent Murphy in the shipping container and jumped in the forklift. When he arrived at the transport, the cargo hatch was open. Vincent and the Captain were waiting. "Vincent, get her strapped into a seat, Dominic get that forklift back to the hanger, and then get your ass back here. It’s time to go. We have four minutes until lift off.” Captain Basso said.
    Just as Vincent finished getting the unconscious and bleeding Monique securely strapped into her seat, Dominic returned. "Get your butt strapped in Dominic. Good job getting her aboard.” Vincent said. “We are at T-minus forty five seconds and we are not delaying this launch." the Captain said. "Could someone please explain why we are kidnapping a half naked woman?" Sarah asked. "Not now. We’re about to liftoff.” Vincent said as the engines roared to life and the Constellation left the launch pad.
    Her head was pounding, her body was shaking, and she felt like a load of bricks. Monique tried to open her eyes and couldn't. She decided to embrace the darkness awhile longer. A short time later she felt as light as a feather but was restrained and couldn't move her arms or legs. Her head still hurt like hell. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see Vincent Moretti floating in front of her. "Welcome to space." he said as he slapped her hard across the face.
    The slap woke her up. As she watched Vincent spin away from her it was obvious she was somehow in space. “What was that for? Where am I? Where the hell are my clothes?” Instead of answering any of her questions Vincent had one of his own. “Did you give the order to have Maria’s plane shot down?” The rest of the crew was watching the exchange. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. The plane Maria was on had a mechanical failure.” Vincent had a look of disgust on his face and almost slapped her again. “That’s bullshit. The pilot found me and told me the plane was shot down. Did you give the order?” Monique knew she was running out of options. “No, the order did not come from me. That’s the only answer you’re getting out of me for now. After I get some clothes and gather myself I’ll speak with you in private. If you want answers you’ll treat me in a respectable manner.” she said.
    J ulia Parsons had the title of “Specialist”. She didn’t know what it really meant. She was the back up for all the other crew members and was the onboard medic. She escorted Monique to her own quarters, found her some clothes, and checked the injury to her head. She stopped the bleeding and ended up putting a couple of stitches in her head to keep the wound closed. She instructed Monique to lie down and went to find Vincent and the Captain. “Monique has
