Nicole tries to run

Nicole suddenly drops her shoulder and turns to run back the way they came. She dodges past one of the guards and jukes the other. She makes it all the way to the door of the elevator and slams her body into the buttons. Nothing happens.

Eric laughs. "Did you really think that was going to work?"

Nicole turns, anger in her eyes and lunges towards Eric.

Eric calmly steps aside and lets Nicole fall to the floor. He grabs Jesse by the neck and holds her between him and Nicole. "I'd stop your little tantrum if I were you."

Nicole pulls herself to her feet and glares at Eric. "You can't do this to us! We're American citizens: land of the free!"

Eric shrugs and turns to his guards who are just now getting to their feet. "That may be so, but in the world of commerce, might makes right and right now, I've got all the might I can hire."

The guards rush to Nicole and grab her none to gently. Nicole struggles in their grasp, but can't pull free. She bares her teeth at Eric. "I'll never stop fighting!"

Eric lets his hands wander along Jesse's torso and fondles her breasts through her shirt. "But your sister already has. And I would hate to have to punish her for your foolish actions."
