ABDUCTION
I parked my car in a dark corner lot and waited. I could feel the pounding of my heart’s pulsations throughout my entire body as I performed a mental assessment of the contents inside my duffel bag. The gloves I packed were thin so I would have full function of all fingers with nothing hindering my grasp. I had packed black clothing, a black ski mask, even the vile was black that held the 120 mgs. of ketamine to be injected via an intramuscular method...because muscles have a large supply of blood to help ensure the body will absorb the medication quickly. I chose the upper arm, near the shoulder. I certainly wouldn’t be utilizing the method I’d read about administering this injection using the alcohol wipe, sterile gauze, cotton balls and bandages. None of that would be necessary. All I needed was this needle, this syringe and a 90-degree angle. It’s amazing how easily the Internet provides information on performing nefarious acts. However, if not done right, the injection carries a high risk of death by overdose. I wasn’t worried...I always do things right. Not that killing her instantly would entirely disappoint me, but I needed things to occur before that step. Of course, I had thoroughly scrutinized the medication dosage calculating her size and weight. I would have 30 minutes.
I thought about chloroform, but my research proved the Hollywood movies “rag over the mouth” strategy is not based on reality. A person would need to be restrained or willing to be induced into anesthesia to breathe the chemical for a solid five minutes. I decided I would choke her unconscious first, which would only take about 5 to 10 seconds, thereby granting me a 30-40 second window of complete incapacitation
