She had the key.
The Front Desk had called to let him know when she'd picked it up. Now it was just a matter of moments.
He sat and watched the webcam picture, even though he knew that he wouldn't see her at first, but staring at the changeless view gave him something to do while he waited, anticipating. She was finally coming to him.
He didn't hear the keycard when she used it, but he heard it clearly when the door opened. He took a deep breath, remembering their initial contact online and the hesitant, back-and-forth messaging that had lead to this moment. He'd told her that he'd take the lead; that she'd be safe, but that hers would be the inferior role. Just how inferior was something that she'd shortly begin to find out.
The door closed and she said "Hello?" in an anxious tone. "Hello, Psyche," he replied, knowing that she'd hear him through the microphone. "There's a laptop on the desk just ahead and to your left. Please have a seat."
Psyche wasn't her name, but it certainly fit the situation. It, along with the empty room and the laptop, were the first of the surprises waiting for her. Just the first.
He paused, waiting for her to take the few steps that would put her at the desk and in the picture being broadcast to where he sat. His own cam was turned off.
