It was weird coming home to an empty house, Linda thought as she pulled into the driveway. But after a week or so, she was starting to get used to it. She hadn't expected that little dispute about the rent to turn into a giant argument and end up with her roommate Jen moving out in a fury.
"Well, Jen always has been a little hot headed." Linda said to herself absentmindedly.
She unlocked the door, went inside, and put her jacket and purse down in the living room. Linda was a little hungry, but she decided to take a shower before she ate. She went into her bedroom and undressed, checking herself out in the full length mirror.
"Not bad." she thought as she looked at her long blond hair and her slim body.
The twenty-five year old was slim enough at 5'7" that her C cup sized breasts really stood out. Linda wrapped a towel around herself, and turned on the shower. She knew the hot water always took a minute or two to come up, so she stepped back into the bedroom.
Suddenly, Linda heard a sound downstairs. "Jen?" she called out.
There was no answer. "Jen? Have you decided to come back?" Linda called out again.
Again, there was no answer. "I'm sure it was nothing." she thought to herself.
But Linda decided to check anyway. She walked out of the bedroom and headed for the stairs. But before she could start her descent, she felt a hand reach around from behind and shove a cloth into her mouth. At the same time, Linda could feel a knife at her throat.
"Don't struggle and you won't get hurt." she heard her assailant say.
He backed into her bedroom, dragging Linda along with him. "Face the wall and put your hands up." he snarled at her.
When Linda hesitated, he pressed the knife against her throat and said, "Don't make me use this."
