Tonight was
the big night. Richard had waited so long for this. Emily had finally said “yes”.
He prepared the bed, fluffed the pillows and readied the mattress. He went over
to the cupboard and brought the red velvet sheets. He thought about the woman
he was going to make love to, as he spread the sheets. He went into the living
room, opened the second drawer of his dresser and picked up the bouquet. He
plucked every single petal off of every rose and flung them onto the velvet
covered mattress.
Then he went
over to the mirror on the wall and slid it upwards. It came right out of its
frame. He took the small video camera out of the frame on the wall, checked it
and placed it back in. This was going to make him rich. These kinds of tapes,
if authentic, could cost millions and he knew it. Tonight was special.
Suddenly,
the phone rang.
