Rattle

CONNOR 5:25 PM

“I need to sign up this new climber…” Antonia said, “You wait here and Isabel will be out in a moment…”

“Okay sounds good…” I say.

I watch the clock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock.

CONNOR 5:30 PM

It’s been twenty minutes. Where is she? I know her. She is a quick showerer. A tomboy type girl. Sporty. Messy. Quick.

I step out of the staffroom and go in search of the women's changing rooms. Maybe I could wait for her there. Surprise her.

I found it. Hidden. Right down the corridor.

Something was rattling the door. Muffled noises. I listen closely.

“Ahh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Fuck me! Fuck me!”

My eyes widen. I know that voice. Isabel?!
