The Wrong Woman

 

As a very scared and confused Megan tried to break free form her restraints while the older guy in his 50s who had abducted her as she got out the taxi after a night out with her friend argued with another guy , they had been arguing since they tied her, she watched as one guy stormed off and the older guy came over and stood infront of Megan. 

“Please let me go, I won’t tell anyone, please!” She said but the man said nothing as the other man returned with a picture. 

“How does she look like the woman on this picture, it’s was not difficult, now what are we going to do ?” Said the man holding the picture the older berated his younger colleague demanding her should him more respect. 

“Well who is she ?” Said the younger guy. 

The guys went through Megan’s handbag, she spoke again demanding her release but they just ignored her. What was clear to Megan was they had not meant to abduct her but they did not mean they were going to just release her. 

She could hear them looking at her ID, her phone, her bank cards. She had very little cash in her purse but the old guy pocketed what she had. They then left the room ignoring Megan’s screams and pleads to be released still. 

Hours passed her arms hurt so much, suddenly the two men reappeared with another man, he was well dressed and Megan could tell he was in charge instantly by the way the two men walked behind him. 

The boss looked at the picture and at Megan, he looked pissed off. 

“You idiot! It was simple, now what are going to do!”  Their boss said but after some thinking he snapped his fingers and tuned to the two men. 

All Megan could hear was the words ‘Sell’ ‘Market’ ‘Good Price’ 

“Selling me where? hello……Pleae someone speak to me!” 

Hours passed again, she had asked for some water or to sit down she told the men she would not run away, but they refused as the boss retuned to the room, behind him was a nerdy looking guy pushing a trolley with a strange looking computer on it and behind them was a old woman with a walking stick she must of been 70s. 

“So Ms Davenport, What do you think ?” Like she was shopping for a new car, Ms Davenport walked around Megan examining her, asking about her age, occupation, material status and even her health. 

“Fine, I will take her” said Ms Davenport as she sat next the computer on the trolley which the nerdy guy was now switching on and typing on the keyboard. 

“Looks like a have managed to turn your screw up into some money, wait for the transfer to be complete then dump the body somewhere to die and no more screw ups!” 

Megan was confused still she shouted but no one spoke to her the old lady just sat there staring at her as the nerdy guy placed a wires on the temple of her head, suddenly Megan restraints loosened but she was drag to a chair and she did not have to energy to fight the men, she had been standing tied up for hours now, all she could think was what was going to happen, a word the boss had said ‘Transfer’ what did that mean. 

Suddenly excruciating pain hit her body her brain felt like it was being fried, they were killing her the pain was so bad, but suddenly it was finished and she had fallen off her chair onto the cold hard floor, her body ached from her head to her toes and then she felt her face, instead of he soft young skin she felt wrinkled skin, she looked down and screamed, her scream was croaky and different. 

“Successful transfer!” Said the nerdy guy as the two men picked up Megan she looked as she was dragged pass at her own body sitting on the chair checking itself out, it didn’t even look up. Thrown into the back of a truck, Megan was sure her arm was broken, now she knew what transfer ment she had just had her mind put into this old body, her life stolen all due to mistaken identity. An incompetent criminal who had abducted her rather than his intended target. 

The van door opened and she was dragged out and left in a puddle by the side of a road miles from anywhere Megan cried for help as long as she could, then as she was about to give up a pickup truck pulled up and got her to hospital. She awoke in a hospital bed in pain but alive. Standing over her was a doctor but she was too weak to speak. 

“Rest up my dear, you will be fine” said the doctor as Megan fell to sleep. She was so weak. 

Meanwhile across town. The boss was yelling at the two men. 

“She alive, you two are useless!” The boss then pointed at the older guy it was his final mistake, some other men dragged him to the chair next to the computer that had swapped Megan’s mind but this time the wires were attached to a dog. 

“No, no please…..Please…..God Know!” 

As the older guy body barked, The boss warned everybody that he doesn’t accept failure. Get to the hospital and finish what the now baarking man’s body had failed to do.
