"If I can just get home," she thought, "I never want to see this madman again." She sat squirming way over in her corner of the car, keeping as much distance as possible between them. Her heart beat wildly in her throat and blood pounded against her temples. The motor raced and Kate could see that Sam had placed the car in reverse gear. Kate realized that she was covered with nervous perspiration. She was stunned, and hardly knew what to do; whether she should jump out of the car and try to get home on her own or trust him to take her home now. The car started pulling backwards before she could make up her mind.

"What I actually brought you here for, Kate," Sam began looking in the rear view mirror, "Was not to attack you. But you are such a terribly attractive young lady. I must admit I've been thinking about you for quite some time. However…" The car suddenly stopped and he turned and calmly looked at her. "What I really would like to do is offer you a job. One that will be not nearly as demanding as the one you have now. One where your beauty and charm will be appreciated. Not to mention the pay, which will be in the area of $250 a week to start…"

Kate remained silent, at first paying no attention to what he was saying, but as he continued, she began to wonder how serious he was about what he was saying… not that she was interested… but still…

"You would be my housekeeper, in essence, although not in the old sense of the word. I need someone to be a hostess for my parties, to coordinate the comings and goings of the servants, to make sure that all goes smoothly at my estate. You see, I travel a lot, and…"

"Mr. Dagon," Kate interrupted icily… "Aside from the fact that I don't want to see you again… your job offer might be of interest to a single girl… but I am married, a fact that you seem to have completely overlooked!"

"Oh, no I haven't overlooked that, Kate," he started the car up again, swinging around and heading back out of the park the way they had come.
