My family and I did not have a happy home life we often would move around every year if not several times a year my stepdad had a severe drinking problem and my mom had varying levels of drug issues this story takes place after we moved from North Carolina to Winslow Arizona I was just about eight or nine years old at the time I never truly understood why we moved out that way my mom said it was to visit her stepfather whom we ended up living with for a few months before leaving due to the violence we're a family of five and we eventually moved in and out of motel rooms for the remainder of our time in Arizona my parents had a rule that we kids my two brothers and myself could not spend the day in the motel room this rule had no exclusions despite Arizona being over 100 degrees outside most days we would even have to eat our meals outside and had limited bathroom breaks my brothers and I would often occupy our time seeing if the soda machines were left unlocked again or just baking in the sun until we were permitted to go to bed if we were lucky sometimes another kid would be living in the motel and we would try to get them to play with us one of the longer staying residents was a girl named Daisy somewhere around my age it was kind of a brat but I was grateful for her company I would often knock on a room door and ask her father if she can come out to play on the day of the story my brothers and stepfather were gone for some reason or another this spent I was left alone outside I eventually decided to try and get Daisy to come play again and started making my way across the dry empty parking lot to the room she shared with her father as I was making my way over I saw the window curtains move suddenly as if someone were watching me approach I paused and waited just before stepping into the sidewalk right outside of Daisy's room assuming it was her making her way outside to meet me just as I started to second guess what I had witnessed Daisy's door swung open and no one stepped out nervously I called out Daisy's name someone did come out but not Daisy they're in the doorway and quickly approaching me was a tall straggly woman with messy and matted blonde hair eyes were blue which I'd only noticed because of how intensely she stared her eyes were impossibly wide her fast approach scared me and just as I turned and ran I felt the woman's tight grip around my waist I froze shocked that a stranger would just grab onto me as our eyes met again she smiled with a toothy Grant and sad I know you I know who you are you're a star I know you I know your destiny you are star you are Destiny I can show you she would repeat the same phrase never seeming to Blink as she began pulling me towards the room she came out of I remember pulling and trying to yank my arm away from her but her grip was too tight I began to panic not knowing how to make her let go I started to scream at her hoping to start over but she kept holding me closer to her room he suddenly tripped and fell letting me go I took the opportunity to try and get away from her but she recovered quicker than I expected and this time she grabbed onto my ankle her new Hold on Me caused me to fall into my stomach more desperate than ever I began to scream and flail trying to cause her to let go of me again but she just took hold of my other ankle realizing I couldn't overpower her I looked towards my family's room I was so scared and I couldn't think clearly and just cried for my mother hoping she'd hear me from inside the motel room she never did I just remember calling out to her begging her to hear me to help me I suddenly felt the sidewalk scraping the skin of my stomach causing me to realize how much further I was dragged from my motel room I felt such Despair and hopelessness I began to mentally shut down and give up out of nowhere I heard a man's voice yellow behind me hey what are you doing the woman's grip loose and just then allowing me to kick her knocking her back and finally setting me free I flipped onto my back and sat up Saint Daisy's father emerged from the same room the woman came out of he quickly made his way trying to comfort me and make sure I was okay I was so confused and I can't even really remember what he said but he was just begging me not to tell anyone what happened he then moved away from me grabbed the woman and pushed her back into the motel room I collected myself in ran to my family's room where my mom was relaxing and just watching TV I explained to her what happened and she stormed out of the room to confront them my memory is extremely fuzzy at this point I was just terrified from the events the cops were called by someone and I remember looking out of the window of my motel room and seeing the woman in the back seat of a cop car now pulling away for the last time our eyes met causing her to frantically Ram herself against the window screaming even though I couldn't hear what she said I know she was trying to tell me again that she knew me I don't know what her problem was but she definitely had a few screws loose I'm 24 male and still a virgin a fact that severely bothers me in recurring phases and one of those a couple of months ago I boldly decided to finally inquire the services of an escort girl prostitution is legal in my country so I wasn't planning on breaking any law I got in contact with a pretty blonde Russian girl in her early 20s that I found on a website dedicated to private escort girls and their insertions we decided to meet a couple of days later she appeared quite short spoken almost blank but I figured that was just a habit you'd evolve in that line of work if I had to handle lusting guys on an everyday basis I'd probably be like that too I took that particular day off for my pretty stuffed work plan and drove to the nearest big city were rearranged to meet see I live in a semi-rural student town where I couldn't really find anyone to my liking it took me a good two-hour Train drive to get to the town which I really wasn't that familiar with strangely enough she told me that I would only get to her address a couple of hours before the date for reasons that I couldn't really follow so here I was in this big city pretty lost in almost two hours before my date I noticed that my phone battery was almost dead so I frantically texted my day then I would need the address this minute if she still wanted things to happen I turned off my phone and restarted it every 10 minutes to check for further messages yeah and I didn't get any look Howard in me was satisfied I'd have enough reasons to back up from this insane plan and just drive home but before I finish that thought she then messaged me with the address which luckily wasn't that far off from the main train station I started to reluctantly walk towards that location checking my phone with Google Maps for every turn after about 10 minutes I arrived at my destination according to my phone but I wasn't really sure on where to go from here there was a turn into some kind of back alley an apartment so I figured that I had to go there to tell you the truth I was beginning to sweat bullets at this point I was beginning to slightly Shag I definitely wasn't ready I felt very uncomfortable I still had 40 minutes before the appointed time and so I decided to sort of roam the area before I would note my date I must have looked like a madman or as if I had just committed a murderer I walked around the area in circles about two times and then notified the girl I was being told that I had to give myself a room in a motel that wasn't that very alley after another left turn and that she would then go to the respective room after I told her my number I was relieved I'm a student I only had just about the money for the services that she was offering I surely didn't have the money to pay for some extra rooms so I was already on my way back five minutes in texting her that I'm truly sorry for the misunderstanding and that I didn't bring any extra cash for motel rooms yeah and she stopped me dead in my tracks and told me that the room was already calculated in her services oh [ __ ] me well I went back and I made that additional left turn and there it was some two-story cubicle form Motel hidden in the midst of the other buildings surrounding it it appeared very weird as if it wouldn't belong here or was just randomly dropped at this place I reluctantly approached it even though I was beginning to get annoyed all I wanted was a friendly person to discreetly help me in this once in a lifetime step and now it seemed that I had to deal with some run-down whorehouse clerk who would be in the perfect knowledge that I was here because I wanted to pay for sex the door of the building was open and there seemed to be some kind of counter yeah the building didn't seem like something you would just walk inside like a customer so I told my day my doubts but she insisted I waited for some time and then suddenly a man appeared he guided a minor looking girl into that building it was only after the whole incident that I realized the implications of this I guess I thought she was his family but she wasn't even in the same ethnic group I inquired about a room and his pupils enlarged he looks scrawny nervous and kind of out of it as you can imagine hearing this you might recognize this red flags instantly but giving the fact that I was so scared that I felt like a bag of nerves my guard was severely lowered also I'm a semi-big and muscular guy so I'm not necessarily used to feeling physically threatened the reason that I'm a virgin is in my looks I'm anti-social weirdly enough he told me that unfortunately all the rooms were occupied at the moment I wrote my day just that and was told that I should wait a second just five minutes after that she texted me that she was now in the process of making herself nice for me and that I was supposed to go up to the Second Story and knock a door too and so I did I entered the building the man from before was not there nobody seemed to be there my first impression was that it looked weirdly sterile bright one-sided color patterns I hesitantly walked up the stairs that were directly next to the entrance step by step it was dead silent if all the rooms were in fact occupied at that moment they sure were a silent bunch I knocked at the door it took suspiciously long for the person to open the door but she was telling me that she was still prepping herself up after all I heard her approaching the door and some kind of noise some clicking sound or the sound of something closing she finally opened the door and to my surprise there didn't stand the attractive 20-something Russian girl that I texted with bought some ugly stocky at least 50 year old hag with leather-like skin before I even comprehended the situation I had already stepped inside of the room out of reflex and I noticed the door closing behind me fight or flight then kicked in even though I didn't feel any particular danger coming from that person she tried to lure me inside of the room with those expressionless eyes the dead friendliness of the lizard I must have started like an idiot trying to find a way out I don't exactly remember what I told her I was giving her some [ __ ] excuse on why I needed to leave for a second again promising that I'd be back ASAP and I noticed that she was hardly able to comprehend full sentences in the native language so I just made my best attempt at giving a reassuring hand gesture then pointing to the door and said five minutes and then immediately left without waiting for her reaction I practically ran down the stairs arrived at the first floor and then out of nowhere the same scrawny Pim from before then creeped upon me from behind and asked me if I made any progress in finding my date without stopping I just grabbed the door handle and I told him that unfortunately progress has not been made I then left the building speed walking out of that God forsaken place I text her once again to confirm that I didn't just confuse the room I didn't after I confronted her and told her that I wasn't going to get scammed I expected to get something along the lines of you have to pay me or my protectors will do such and such in return but instead I got no reply at all I don't know what I walked into that day maybe it wasn't even that Insidious maybe I was just scammed which is frankly bad enough but the whole thing gave me the creeps friendly piece of advice if you want to solicit Adult Services pay reasonable prices and don't ever enter any [ __ ] motels [Music] I'm a woman and looking back at the story I recognize everything I did wrong and I'm horrified but it's a good warning I am generally a very skeptical aware person lock my car doors right after I get in trust got feelings and don't talk on my phone while walking Etc I'm shocked by how off guard this caught me last week I was traveling to Phoenix on business and stayed in an embassy suite nice hotel stayed there lots of times without problems I have noticed it is pretty lightly staffed but no issues at 6 45 in the morning my hotel room phone rang I answered thinking it must be the front desk and the person on the other end says hi is this Jenny I said yes and had the TV on in the background so couldn't hear him so I said hang on a second and muted it he then said oh I'm sorry are you having a meeting am I interrupting no I it's just the TV can I help you first let me just tell you this guy was extremely Suave charming and disarming Suave but not in a slimy way just totally friendly and nice long story short he goes down this whole path of saying you aren't going to believe who this is It's a blast from the past do you know who this is super fun and playful like a friend would be if they were calling you out of the blue I do a lot of work in Phoenix and half for many years and I changed my cell phone number about a year ago so while it would be incredibly odd for someone to call me at the hotel I really was trying to Rack my brain and figure out who might have heard I was in town and wanted to get in touch finally I told him I didn't know who he was and he'd have to tell me okay I'll tell you but you have to guess the city first think of the time you met someone in another city had a great time and never saw them again someone you got a little crazy with just to get things moving I guess Cleveland I did go to Cleveland on business about eight years ago but I didn't do anything crazy there yep Cleveland no I still don't know who this is think of a Cleveland Browns player you met and had a really good time with at this point I clearly know the call isn't for me and I say definitively no I don't think so in response he says oh my goodness do I have the wrong Jenny is this Jenny Miller nope wrong person so he in a very friendly and engaging way tells me I call the front desk and they must have just been going down the room list and connected me to the wrong Jenny well since I'll never meet you in person I'll tell you I met this girl in Cleveland about two years ago and we were both married but we just had an awesome time and it was it was all about the sex she drunk texted me two weeks ago and she told me she was going to be in town and I thought I'd call her and surprise her I kind of chuckled and said oh interesting uh well good luck he again charmingly starts to flirt with me I don't remember exactly how the conversation went but it was moving quickly and was something along the lines of sounds like you had a crazy time in Cleveland too well since I'll never meet you in person by the way creepy that he repeated this twice it stood out to me let me ask you are you as pretty as you sound then he described himself and asked me which I very foolishly told him my age City I'm from and that I'm married he then says hey tell me what happened for you in Cleveland at that point I finally wised up and said I'm not going to continue this conversation at which point he probably hung up I had about 30 minutes until I needed to leave and felt very unsettled as I reflected on the call how did he get passed through to my room without my full name but knowing my first obviously he somehow requested to be connected to my name and made up a story about knowing the last name maybe did he possibly know my room number was he lurking and waiting for me I waited until I saw another woman go to the elevator and jumped out of my room behind her so I wouldn't be alone at the front desk I was telling the manager very briefly about it to try to get to the bottom of how they got through to my room and another woman standing nearby said did someone call your room looking for Sarah Miller I said no he called looking for Jenny Miller my name is Jenny and then she said I had a guy call my room looking for Sarah Miller and my name is Sarah I was asleep and he just said really cheerfully best wake-up call ever but I was so disoriented I didn't keep talking to him the manager who was the only one working the desk sort of acknowledged he had some calls come in but sort of brushed it off and moved on to the next person so I didn't get to the bottom of that which reflecting on it I should have pushed much harder and may Colin do so but it was all moving really fast okay so pretty creepy right totally disarming personality disarmed me by doing it in the morning instead of the evening knew my name called a hotel phone got me to acknowledge I was alone made me pick a city and then made a tie to it made himself sound like a cool football player even though he clearly wasn't all kinds of creepy stuff here's my question what was this guy going for I can only think of a couple of options one trying to get someone to talk dirty on the phone for some jollies at least creepy of the options but I feel like he didn't move it that way quickly enough and wasn't explicit enough to make that the goal or two I really got the vibe that he was trying to find someone that would be willing to meet him in person I felt like if I'd continue the conversation it was going towards hey I was trying to call Jenny Miller but you sound really fun and cute would you want to meet for a drink who knows what his or his buddies intentions would be kidnapping seems over the top but hey it happens and maybe just a lonely guy looking for a date I Googled and found no similar stories maybe I Googled the wrong thing I did find the front desk scam where they posed as the front desk and try to get your credit card number but nothing like this I am generally no slouch when it comes to personal security and it freaks me out how easily I was put into friendly mode instead of skeptical mode here my friends have been shocked when I told him the story and said if anyone was going to fall for it I'd be the last person they would think I'm still trying to figure out what this guy might have been after [Music] this happened in the summer and I believe I was about 12 at the time I was staying in a hotel in a fairly large city with my mom and my younger brother we were visiting our extended family but chose not to stay in their house my brother is younger than me by a decent amount so I was usually told to keep an eye on him on the day we arrived my mom told me to do just that while she checked to sin and received our room card so my brother and I sat down on the couch in the lobby and relaxed a little bit when we were sitting a man in about his mid-40s walked into the hotel the couch was facing the hotel doors so I got a good look at him I remember that he was very average looking describing his features and details could generate several different images the guy comes in and sits on the couch opposite hours I didn't think anything of it until I realized that he didn't go up to the counter first he just came in and sat down it made me feel a little uncomfortable I thought that he might have followed us in thankfully my mom called us over and told us that our room was ready we left the lobby and went to our room shortly after we left the hotel to go meet family I forgot about the man for the rest of the day we returned at about seven and my mom told us that we could go swimming in the hotel pool we all went to our rooms changed and went to the pool a few minutes after we got into the water the same man from before walked in and sat down he was wearing jeans and the sweater so he definitely wasn't going swimming again we didn't think much of it until I could see that my mom was visibly worried she pointed him out to me and said that if he didn't leave within five minutes we needed to go back to our rooms five minutes passed and he was still there so we got our things and left by then it was close to eight and we had brought a rented movie to watch so we plan to watch that and go straight to bed I noticed that my mom was a little on edge because the man watching us and I got a little more worried myself too halfway through the movie my mom got up to get in the shower while she was in there someone knocked on the door and said housekeeping in a high-pitched voice I thought it was weird that the cleaning staff would come this late but we needed another towel so I answered the door I wish I hadn't been so stupid it was the creepy man he gave me a smile and a little wave I just stood there kind of motionless my mind automatically went to the worst possible situation kidnapping torture Etc I heard the water in the shower turn off he stood there as well for a moment and then he spoke how was your swim at that moment my mom came out of the shower saw the man at the door pulled me back and slammed the door she locked it then she called the front desk from our hotel phone to report the guy I told her to just call the police but she didn't listen she then requested we switch rooms and then heard footsteps stomping down the hallway away from our room thankfully the guy had left after that we switched hotel rooms and didn't see the guy again during her stay it all started when I woke up to the sound of someone hammering on my apartment door that was the first fright I got that night heart pounding my chest as I grabbed the bat I kept under my bed and headed towards the door first thing I do is look through the peephole to make sure it's not anyone sketchy but I'm greeted by the sight of one of my neighbors she looks terrified she's covered in blood and I can see just through the people that her face is a mess I opened up the door she runs inside and immediately says you gotta get me out of here my boyfriend's trying to kill me I start to ask her what happened and she says something like there's no time just please get me out of here I swear to God he'll kill you too for just helping me that was what sent me into a straight up panic because if a guy was willing to beat his girlfriend up that badly Lord knows that he'd be willing to put me in the ground I just grabbed my car keys ran downstairs with a girl following close behind jumped into my car then took off into the night I remember asking her if she had anywhere I could take her like a friends or relatives or something she said no and the best thing for us to do would be to drive to a motel so she could call the cops from there so that's exactly what I did I drove us to a motel and booked us a room the clerk was obviously just as concerned as I was but all it took was to explain that her boyfriend had tried to offer and they were like jeez make sure you guys call the cops at least the girl whose name I didn't know at that point I just knew she was a neighbor said that she'd go up to the room and call them then ask me to get her some ice from the ice machine so she could deal with the swelling on her face when I got to the room she said the cops would be there ASAP took the ice put it on her face then just burst into tears I tried my best to reassure her telling her she was safe and stuff then when she finally calmed down I asked her what actually happened back at her apartment she told me her boyfriend was abusive and that she'd been planning on leaving for a while but that night was the night she'd finally got the courage to gather to announce it to him she said he walked into their bedroom to find her packing a bag and not long after that everything went to chaos she started helping herself to the little bottle of liquor from the mini bar but not after promising she'd pay me back for them once everything had blown over I had no reason to disbelieve her at the time I mean I felt like we had a kind of bond established already but I abstained because I thought I'd be driving back to the apartment pretty soon I asked her if she was good to wait on her own while the cops drove out to her but she asked me if I'd stay to keep her safe she then made the point that if her boyfriend found the blood on my apartment door she assured me that she'd left some on there while hammering on it but he'd know she'd been there and he'd try to attack me or worse I'll be honest I thought it was a pretty good point at the time I hadn't seen the blood myself but she was so covered in it that I believed her when she said that there was some on my door anyway about an hour goes by and the cops still haven't showed up and the motel rooms were arranged in the horseshoe shaped so we'd have seen them rolling into the parking lot if they had I asked her to call them back to see what was going on because obviously it was a really urgent situation and I know that there was basically no way for the boyfriend in finding us but I was still really paranoid that he would somehow that's when the inconsistency started because she gave me some lame duck of a reply like I'm sure they'll be here soon if that was me I'd have called 9-1-1 again if they hadn't shown up within like 10 minutes so what was she so calm about that she was just cool with waiting for them for like an hour at that point I put it down to booze and at that point I was okay with waiting too it wasn't like I had anywhere to be I sure couldn't just go back to my apartment with that psycho supposedly just a few Doors Down but that's also about the same time that I started checking out the amount of blood on her night shirt she had like an oversized t-shirt and girl boxers on and like I said earlier they were drenched with blood but also with some blood splatter too like little spots here and there she had this cut over her eye and she had a nasty busted lip but it looked like way too much blood for just those small wounds so I asked her if she had any other kind of injuries like an abdominal wound of some kind that might account for all the blood on her she said no and that it was all from the busted lip in her eye and immediately I started smelling nonsense I asked her again what exactly had happened back at the apartment and she started getting weirdly defensive about what she told me I was starting to think it wasn't quite the abusive spouse kind of story that she told me the first time around but I had no inkling of what was really going on that being said I was getting tired of waiting for the cops to show so I decided to call them back myself all I had on me was my wallet my phone and my car keys the only three things I'd had time to stuff into the pockets of my shorts before fleeing the apartment but when I take my phone out to call the cops she says something along the lines of what are you doing I State the obvious I'm about to call the cops back and she's like don't I don't know if it was the way she was looking at me the way she spoke or the way she sort of tensed up when I told her that I was about to do that but the moon in the room just shifted completely I asked her why not then just went right back to dialing 9-1-1 but by the time the operator spoke down the line I looked up and saw she had a knife in her hand she just said hang up now so I did I never had a knife pulled on me at that point and I can't overstate how terrifying it was it wasn't even just the knife either it was the overwhelming creepy sensation of knowing that all wasn't what it seemed I wasn't hiding from the threat I was with the threat I'll be honest here I basically begged her not to hurt me and to my relief she said she wouldn't as long as I drove her to the Canadian border given this was in Detroit the Border isn't all that far but I didn't want to catch charges for aiding and abetting or whatever so I knew I had to think of something to stop that from happening it's not like I knew I couldn't tell the cops that I've been threatened or whatever but I also knew that the longer I spent in this girl's company the more chances I'd have of being stabbed so I tell the girl that I drive her to the Border but then I needed to get something to eat first I play it like I wanted to stop somewhere on the way knowing she'd reason me down to getting something delivered from a 24-hour joint she also stated that she'd be the one going down to pick the food up as she didn't want me having the chance to sound the alarm that's where she messed up because she didn't seem to realize to my infinite relief that I could order from doordash and put something in the notes about needing the cops call to the motel my whole plan hinged on there being a driver around that late at night but thank God there was and I was even able to show her the order without bringing up the notes section that mentioned needing 9-1-1 call to the motel and the cops played it perfectly too they showed up without any lights and sirens on didn't park in the lot walked up to the motel room without being spotted from the window then just knocked on the door like they were a delivery driver she walks over opens up the door then boom they had a gun and a taser drawn on her before she even knew what was happening she had the knife tucked into the back of her girl boxers but the cops were wise to her drawing on them and she hit the floor hard after they hit her with a taser turned out they'd been looking for her because get this she was the abusive partner who'd stabbed her boyfriend almost to death before finding some poor schmuck I.E me to drive her to the Border dude almost bled to death in their apartment but managed to crawl to another neighbor's place to get help you should have seen the amount of blood in the hallway when I got back to my apartment building and the whole place was crawling with cops and forensic gear I thought I might be able to drive over to a friend's place to stay the night you know contaminating a crime seat or whatever but they had this section of the corridor closed off so I could actually get into where I lived the cops came to my apartment in the morning to take my statement down and to fill me in on what they thought had happened that's how I found out exactly what the deal was it was 100 the craziest most frightening thing that's ever happened to me ever in my life and just the fact that I was part of it seems completely surreal to me but the thing that sticks with me is how easily I swallowed her nonsense story at first how I thought it was helping someone I knew someone I could trust when in reality one wrong move and I might not actually be around to tell you this foreign
