The sound of wax paper crinkling and a crunching bite of egg roll was encouraging to Owen. He watched Julianna eat with some satisfaction that in all other things she would ultimately bend to his will. And no sooner had the thought occurred to him than she revealed her phone code. He quickly committed it to memory without having to write it down.
“Five whole numbers?” He smiled approvingly and folded his arms across his chest. “Most people use four. Look at you, practically a security guru. I'm proud of you babe.” He complimented her sarcastically using a pet name less out of affection and more because he could.
When she revealed the best way to put off her most caring family members and friends he clapped his hands together. One quick clap followed by a curt bow of his head served as thanks for her cooperation. “I have some ice cream too. Do you like cookie dough?” He quickly offered another sweet treat as reward for good behavior. Apparently being a kidnapper was going to be a lot like training a rat - something he’d done in a psychology class in college. If there was a behavior you wanted to encourage there was nothing like a little positive reinforcement with delicious treats to keep that behavior coming.
He carelessly tossed down the DVD box set for Law & Order. It clattered nosily against the desk. Her iPhone he tucked away into the front pocket of his pants and he moved to his television with the DVD set of show she’d endorsed. He popped the disc from the casing and set it carefully down into the DVD reader he had plugged into the TV. The DVD menu started up with the semi-creepy and infamous Dexter theme. Owen selected the first episode and let it begin to play before he moved off into the kitchen for the ice cream he’d mentioned. The sounds narration followed him.
He balanced the ice cream carton with two spoons on top in one hand with two beers tucked under his armpit. Owen stopped on his way to the couch and held his hand out for Julianna like a peace offering.
“Come on. If this show is scary I’ll need you to hold my hand.” He smirked, but his hand was still extended for her to take.

Bitch, I'm limited edition.
