She trusts Ardour

"Sierra, you and I are friends." Ardour explains, "You can trust me. You know that I'm only tying you up to tease you, it's nothing to worry about, just a bit of harmless fun."

After a moment, Sierra blinked out of the trance and looked up at Ardour.

"Really?" She asked, only sounding slightly annoyed, "You could just ask me to come over, instead of scaring the shit out of me. I thought someone had kidnapped me! Also, what did you just inject me with?"

"Just something to help you wake up." Ardour replied. She was relieved that the serum had worked. She then leaned in closer to Sierra's ear, "Plus, I know you enjoy being tied up."

"Oh, shut up and untie me." Sierra said jokingly.

"Fine." Ardour complained sarcastically, untying her captive, "I'm sorry you lost the role to that MJ girl."

"Yeah. Sexist arsehole just wanted some eye candy." Sierra replied, standing up from the chair.

"Do you want to have a drink and talk about it?" Ardour asked, walking out of her panic room.

"Sure, I'll have a coffee." Sierra said, following her out of the room.

"Take a seat in the loungeroom, I'll bring it to you." Ardour said, heading over to her refrigerated safe. She pulled out another MSC-X before heading to the kitchen to make two coffees. Sierra, meanwhile, sat down in an armchair and went to grab her phone, realising it wasn't on her because she was still in her pyjamas.

"Dammit!" Sierra yelled, "You didn't happen to bring my phone with you when you took me from my bed, did you?"

"Sorry, no." Ardour replied, shouting back from the kitchen. She turned on the coffee machine and grabbed two cups.

"Okay, well you're taking me back home then." Sierra shouted back, grabbing the TV remote.

"Fair enough." Ardour responded as she filled the two cups with coffee. She then looked around to make sure Sierra couldn't see her and poured the contents of the test tube into one of the cups. She then brought them out to the loungeroom, handing the one with the serum to Sierra, "Here you go."

"Thanks." Sierra said as she took a sip. Almost instantly Sierra went into another trance-like state, her eyes becoming clouded and vacant.
