This Creativity Post continues an idea and character from 55.<\/a><\/p>\n

In that one, a wealthy young woman from Europe is on vacation in Maine when she\u2019s kidnapped\/abducted. Now for the purpose of this idea, we\u2019re assuming it\u2019s the same girl in both CP pics. Creativity Posts in general are broad interpretations and don\u2019t need to be exact, it\u2019s more how something triggers an idea. In this case, it\u2019s the look on the girl\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s not scared or worried about her current predicament, which means she wasn\u2019t kidnapped to be human trafficked which is what 55<\/a> kind of hinted at. While that story idea could work, it\u2019s not a route I\u2019m going down.<\/p>\n

Instead, she was \u2018abducted\u2019 by her boyfriend\/guy she likes but her parents don\u2019t approve of. This would set up a twist maybe. The story (from 55<\/a>) looks like it\u2019s going one way then does a 180 and we end up here.<\/p>\n

Her boyfriend could also be European or maybe he\u2019s American. That would be an important factor to figure in and not just a throwaway line.<\/p>\n

This scene with her on a chain would be a long time coming for both of them as it\u2019s been a while since they\u2019ve been together and something they\u2019ve wanted for a while.<\/p>\n

I would have them both be equals, there\u2019s no power imbalance between them unless he\u2019s maybe a mercenary or an assassin and she\u2019s the money but I think he might be a business guy. That could change though as none of this is set in stone (thinking out loud remember).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still a lot to explore for this idea which I think has potential. One way to increase its value would be figuring out how to tie it into The Merc Series Universe as a whole. Probably through her family and where her money comes from and deciding if they\u2019re just a rich family. Or like a really wealthy European type of family. That could then get tied into other areas too in The Merc Series.<\/p>\n
