eyes and prepared for whatever else was to come. Maybe the old man had sent someone else to use her.
Every ounce of shock already knocked out her body at the sight before her, Cathy approached the bed and gingerly touched Amita's face.
"Hey, it's time to go," she whispered gently.
Amita's eyes shot open not sure if this was really good news or if the devil had just picked a different attire for today.
"Wh...att? Madam, you do not understand," her feeble voice spoke.
"No, I do. I will take you out of here and someone will come help you. But you must hurry."
Cathy undid the bindings of the girl. She was disgusted at the different uses their bathrobes offered their guests. She then ransacked some of the bags as Amita sat up, still dazed and wondered if it was all a dream.
"Here, go change. There is no time to talk, we must go before he comes back."
As the redhead waited at the door, the young prisoner hurriedly put her clothes on and walked towards her rescuer. Overwhelmed with emotion the girl knelt and touched Cathy's feet with her hands.
"Thank you, thank you," she sobbed.
Cathy pulled her up, hugged her tightly and wiped the tears from her face.
"Sshhhh ... stop crying. You must be a brave girl for a few more minutes. He will not see you, I promise. Come now."
They made their way through the back elevators, down to the parking bays where as promised, Sheila was waiting with a car and a relieved smile.
"Oh Cathy, we cannot thank you enough." Cathy hugged both of them quickly. She closed the car door once Amita was seated. A tear trickled down her cheek.
"Don't thank me Sheila, just make sure she stays safe. Hurry! Go!"
Once a few more words of gratitude and concern were uttered, the car sped off. Cathy watched, took a deep breath and muttered as she found her way back to the hotel lobby, "God help us all, what was he thinking? What is the world coming to? The poor thing was only fourteen years old."
QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA
August 2007
Known to many as The Sunshine State, Queensland is Australia's second largest state and lives by the motto “Bold but Faithful”. Named in honour of Queen Victoria, the state was first populated more than forty thousand years ago. Before the British discovered large sections of it, it had been explored by the Portuguese, Dutch, French and even the infamous Captain James Cook was said to have left a mark in this state's colourful history. It is home to more than four million people. Queensland has gained international recognition for housing eight universities and eight wildlife parks which also serve to protect animals in danger of extinction.
In sports, the island has made its mark with the Brisbane Broncos being one the best teams in the National Rugby League. Alongside this achievement, six gold medals were awarded to Queensland swimmers in the 2004 Olympics.
Tourism has always been one of the leading sources of income for this state alongside agricultural industries including bananas, pineapples and peanuts.
Brisbane is also the state’s capital and boasts five world renowned amusement parks. The "Gold Coast of Queensland" is also referred to as "Australia's Theme Park Capital". Aside from the numerous man-made creations and its rich culture, Queensland's tourism has an attraction that is one of a kind in the form of the Great Barrier Reef. It has been labelled as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. With more than two thousand individual reefs and nine hundred islands spread over a span of more than two thousand kilometres, it offers divers and tourists a spectacular view.
Tucked away between all of nature's finery, lay the MoonStar Queensland located adjacent to Coolangatta Street. Nearing the long weekend the street was already congested with holiday makers trying to make the most of their time.
