There is not a car in sight, and the air is cool but not yet cold. I like nights like this. They are quiet and I have space to think. I'm taking a midnight scroll alone, and I'm making the most of it. A noise comes up from the side path. I look to my left and see a man jogging at high speed to me. I try to sidestep, but he collides with me anyway. I lose balance but feel strong arms encircling me. "I'm sorry miss, I could not change direction in time. Are you oke'? Are you hurt?" I hear a deep voice saying, while I try to gain balance again.

"I'm a bit dizzy, thank you for catching me" I hear myself say, as I look up in two bright blue eyes. The arms hold me close, and I can smell his cologne. I'm starting to doubt that the almost-fall was the only thing making me dizzy. "You are welcome. I'm a good person to lean on, or so I've heard. You should be able to relax with me, girl, I keep you safe while you are dizzy for now. Just trust in me" While looking into his eyes, I can feel I can trust him. I'm dizzy and alone, I'm glad there is someone with me. His embrace is warm, and his hand strokes over my back. 

"You are doing well, girl, relax now. Nothing can happen to you now. Look me in the eyes, and let go of the stress from the collision, from your day, and just let go" I feel myself turning weak for this stranger. His voice and his words have something. I'm blinking a lot, my head feels heavy. What is happening?

"You are doing great. Let yourself fall into my embrace. Smell my cologne. And feel how your thoughts feel. They must swim right now. We have been close together long enough that the pheromones and my words have made you all sofa and agreeable, isn't that so, girl?" I hear some distant alarm bells go off with that, but I feel too slow, too warm, too weak to do something with it. I just want to agree with those wonderful eyes. I nod.

"Good girl" is the response. I let myself be guided to a seat at the side of the road. "Just sit here and listen to this for a while." The man gets some earbuds from his pocket and places them in my ears. I hear something that sounds like two tones dancing, and my mind gets even slower. I'm not sure what is happening, I'm swaying and can't think straight. 

I see the man talking on a radio, and I think I hear something about 'ready for pickup' and 'easy and responds well'. But I mainly hear the sounds When he puts the radio away, his attention is back on me.

"You will tell me all your trade secrets later. But for now, we will make you feel so good, that you happily tell them to us. And then we will make you forget. But for now, sink deeper for me, girl…"
