They said they needed it done fast
I told them
Give me five minutes

Minute one
I walk inside
I see my target
And shyly observe her from the corner

Minute two
I go to her
I try to speak
I stand awkwardly outside the circle

Minute three
I speak to her
I ask to see her
We walk silently to the corner

Minute four
I grab her
I take her away
I drag the writhing body from the room

Minute five
I give her too them
They take her away
They nod in my approval
I said five minutes, didn't I?
