The button was installed under her desk too close to her knee.
She’d hit it accidentally before and everyone came running.
This time was different. He’d shown her his “vest.” If she hit the button, silent or not, they’d all be dead.

Oh gosh.. you always leave us hanging! Where do you come up with this stuff? Good Lord I love your imagination.
I have no idea where it comes from. But I must say I’m enjoying it too. Thanks Chris!
Oh, I hope she doesn’t get shakey knees and accidentally hit that button again!
That would be bad!!!
I like how you took the idea of “crying wolf” one step further by making it accidental. That really ratchets up the angst.
Whew! You created some tension with this entry!
It occurs to me that that button is completely inadequate.
Omg. So scary.
😉 thank you!
Frightening.
😉 thanks!
What a horrible decision to make!
It’s certainly a bit of a pickle!
oh no! i wonder what happens next :/ hopefully it’s something good 😀
I hope so too.
OOOOH might as well hit it then…maybe
Haha. Maybe.
Great opener! Now I need to know what happened 🙂
Me too. Maybe the next prompt will lead me there.
I want to know what happens next!
Me too!
Very intriguing 🙂
Thank you!
I’m not sure if it was this post or the double espresso that got my heart racing. I’m the kind of girl who likes to play out scenarios in my head (If **** happens, I will *****), so thanks to you I’m likely to have a pretty unproductive day as I figure out how I’d deal with a guy in a vest… LOL
I had the first scenario happen once. Truly – if the vest guy ever came in and I hit the button, I was screwed.
Powerful!
Thank you!
