"I have your books set aside in a special study carol," said Tom, "I did not want anyone else getting their hands on your books."I have your books set aside in a special study carol," said Tom, "I did not want anyone else getting their hands on your books. Come with me, and I'll show you where they are." "Let's just hurry up with this," said Jane, "I've got hours of studying yet to do tonight." Tom led Jane into a small room in the back of the library. On the desk sat the books that she had requested. "I think you'll find that this is a much more conducive place for studying," said Tom, "You won't have as many distractions here." "I don't know why you didn't just tell me the books were here in the first place," said Jane, "Now just get the hell out of here. How do you expect me to study with you distracting me like this?" "Sorry Ma'am," said Tom as he shut the carol door. Tom left the room and went into the adjacent utility room. From that room, he could see Jane through the vent. He took out a small vial from his shirt, and then reached under the boiler to pull out an oxygen mask. He then smashed the bottle on the side of the wall next to the vent. Upon contact with air, the contents of the bottle turned into smoke which seeped through the vent into the carol where Jane was studying. "What the fuck?," said Jane as she noticed the smoke coming through the vent. It was the last thing she said however, as the fumes quickly overcame her and she passed out. When Jane awoke, it was several hours later. As she looked up from her daze, she saw Tom. "Wake up little Janey," said Tom, "You seem to have dozed off, the library's been closed for over an hour." "Dozed off?," said Jane, "There was some sort of smoke in here, I'm gonna sue the pants off of you and the whole library staff." "I don't think you'll be suing me, or anyone else for that matter, Janey," said Tom. "That was no ordinary smoke. It was a powerful drug that zapped that part of your brain that you might call your `free will.' From now on you will be at the mercy of anyone and everyone here. You will do anything that they ask you to do, no matter how humiliating. Otherwise, you will remain your usual disagreeable self." "What the hell are you talking about," said Jane, "I might feel a little groggy, but I'm in full command of my abilities. |
