Julia didn't know what happened, all she knew was that everything turned dark and that she fell asleep suddenly. Now awake, everything was still dark but she could hear her own breath and feel that she was tied to a chair. Memories of her past rushed in, she tried to scream but couldn't by the fact that she was gagged.

"I'm sorry that I had to keep you in the dark" came a smooth and settled male voice, "but I don't want you to know where my hide out is." Julia then recoiled as the black bag was removed from her head. She looked around, seeing that she was in a very small warehouse filled with props and other miscellaneous objects. Though, she was even more frightened by her captor, the fact that he was a dog of sorts, and was smiling in a way that could easily be portrayed as a 'rape face'. The Escapist looked at Julia, scared out of her mind, tears trickling down her cheek.

"Don't worry madam, I'm not going to hurt you" sweet talked the Escapist, though that helped as much as trying to use a stick of chewing gum to fix a dam leak. He then sighed, though still kept his ear to ear smile.

"Alright, here, let me prove it to you" the Escapist said as he untied her. Julia, immediately ungaged herself and hid behind one of the props. The Escapist shrugged before tossing an article of clothing at her saying, "here, put this on, it's less revealing as the robe your wearing now."
Julia quickly took the garments, which was covered in shiny sequins, but didn't put it on just yet.

"You know I'm going to release you anyway" chuckled The Escapist, "I only took you to make a point Zena." He held out the three large gold plated bracelets before linking all three of them together with a resonant 'clink'. "Your just a pawn in my plan to claim the title 'king of thieves' from your mistress."

"She's my lover" Julia corrected as she still hid behind one of the props.

"Ahh, so the young woman speaks" retorted The Escapist, "I'm glad you decided to revoke your vow of silence, because you do have a pretty voice."

"Just let me go" Julia asked, her voice wavering.

"I will in due time, but like I said, your a small part in my plan, and there's nothing like a prisoner to provide leverage." Julia still hid, though even with his huge smile, The Escapist didn't seem to have any real sexual interest in her. He then added, "besides, I already have a girlfriend who can provide all the love I need, there's no reason why I should... play around with you."

Julia ignored him, wishing that her lover Zena would come and save her.
