"Phoenix tied Ashleigh's wrists together. 'Pull her up.' They pulled her up tying the rope to a pipe. Her feet hanging inches from the floor. 'Well what's it going to be?' 'No.' Phoenix looked at her. 'Wrong answer.' He pulled out the knife.' 'Don't Phe.' 'Why ever not?' 'You're not your father.' 'No, I'm worse.' He looked at Ashleigh. 'What do you say Ash? Are you in?' 'No.' He raised the knife. 'No Phe she's been through enough.' 'She hasn't been through enough.' 'Don't Phe.' He ignored Kieran's plea. Looking at Ashleigh. 'Maybe this will change your mind.' He slashed her body, she screamed, yet no tears she shed. 'Go out the room guys.' 'But.' 'NOW! Go to Kelley Kieran.' Kieran looked at Ashleigh helplessly as her left the room closing the door behind them. Phoenix slipped the knife into his pocket. He placed his hands on her face. 'I love you you know.' She hung shaking. 'Aren't you going to say you love me too?' 'I love you.'"
Kaleen closed the door behind her walking into the lounge, dropping her keys on the telephone stand. He stood at the window, just as she remembered him. 'Justin.'
He looked at her. 'I wish you'd call me Sandman. It always sounded so sexy coming from you.'
'Why are you here? I thought you were in prison.'
'Day release.'
