Ice Cold Part 6

I forgot how much I hated Jason until I started posting this story again 😬

Ice Cold Masterlist Main Masterlist

"Oh my god Lyla! Are you alright?"

As soon as the door burst open Jen rushed over to me, gripping my shoulders and pushing me back, looking me over, inspecting me for any signs of damage.

All I could do was stand there, frozen into place, my eyes fixed on the window frame where Van had disappeared through only moments before. I supposed it must have looked like I was in shock. My mind in turmoil after going through some kind of horrific ordeal at the hands of my deadly captor. And I was in shock... but for a very different reason.

Jason rushed straight to the window, grasping the sides, ready to push himself through and take chase, and seeing this finally snapped me out of my trance.

"Jason!" I called urgently, and he hesitated, halfway through the window.

The words caught in my throat and I stumbled. "Errr... be... be careful..."

Jason raged something about 'bringing that fucker down' and then he launched himself through into the night, leaving me and Jen alone.

Shame washed over me as I realised that my automatic response to seeing Jason taking off after Van wasn't actually concern over my colleague's welfare. I'd pictured Van sprawled face down on the street, bleeding out with a bullet lodged in his back and the image had terrified me.

"What happened?" Jen asked. "Did he... did he..." She trailed off, her face screwed up like she was imagining something so appalling she couldn't verbalise it.

"I'm okay... he didn't hurt me," I reassured her and her immediate relief was evident, but then I saw her expression turn rapidly to something else. Bewilderment.

"So... what happened then? Why did he bring you here and lock you in?"

I opened my mouth, hesitated, shut it again, my mind buzzing frantically through possible scenarios, none of which seemed feasible.

Jen's mobile phone ringtone suddenly blared, interrupting us, and she answered the call immediately. "Jason!"

My heart was in my mouth as I listened to the one-sided conversation, but it soon became apparent that Jason had obviously lost Van and was now on his way back to the hotel. I found myself saying a silent prayer of thanks and relief inside my head, then instantly berated myself.

Whose side was I on exactly?

"Jen... I think I need to get back too. My head's spinning and I don't feel so good."

As soon as I got back to the confines of my hotel room I lost it. I curled up into a foetal position on the bed and the tears wracked my whole body. A million emotions tore through me like a hurricane. What the fuck was happening to me?

I replayed my confrontation with Van in my head, trying so desperately to focus on the fear I'd felt and the horror of the crimes he'd committed, but I couldn't get the look in his eyes out of my mind. Pure, unadulterated hunger. Not like he simply wanted me. Like he needed me. And I'd needed him right back.

My dreams that night were dark and full of horror and violence. I was eight years old again and scared. From my hiding place under the hotel room bed I could just make out my father's feet as he dashed about, securing doors and windows, shouting frantically down the phone about threat levels and information leaks and danger. Imminent danger.

My dad had tried to keep me sheltered from his life growing up, only giving me snippets of an insight into his work. I was proud that he was responsible for 'catching the bad men' and righting wrongs. To me he was some kind of superhero. Every time he'd take another trip to some far away city my mother would fret and this would only make me worry, but he'd scoop me up and sit me on his knee. "Don't worry pumpkin, daddy's out there just making the world a safer place for you and your mum."

But I wasn't naive. I quickly found out that the boogey men I heard stories about as a child weren't the monsters that supposedly lurked under my bed, or the shadows cast from the open wardrobe door late at night. They were very real. Bad men with guns and knives that stalked their prey against the nighttime landscape of the city.

My dream played like a movie from that fateful night, with me as the unwilling but captive audience, re-living the horror as I saw the black boots of my father's killer enter the room from my vantage point under the bed. I heard the harsh words and threats, the sounds of flesh striking flesh as blows were exchanged. And then I watched on in disbelief and terror as my dad slumped on to the floor right next to the bed, a huge yawning gash in his throat. His eyes meeting mine, a desperate plea in them for me to keep quiet, whilst I was forced to watch as the pool of blood widened and soaked into the carpet and the light gradually faded from his eyes. All I could do was lie silently and wait, looking into my father's dead staring eyes. Wait for his killer to find me, drag me kicking and screaming from my hiding place to meet the same fate. But it never happened. I'd lain there for hours, frozen with fear, a hand clamped over my own mouth to stifle the sobs that so desperately tried to burst free.

I was still there when the other agents on my dad's team found me the following morning. They fussed and they hugged me. My mother shut herself off from normal life whilst she grieved, leaving me to deal with my loss largely alone. I was sent for countless counselling and therapy sessions. But I didn't cry. Not once. I didn't need therapy. I made myself a promise that day. That I'd dedicate my life to purging the world of all the corruption, exact justice for all the lives taken in exchange for riches and power and greed. Rid the world of all the bad people who'd made killing their career. Evil men.

Men like Van.

A sharp rapping sound dragged me from the depths of my restless sleep and I welcomed the respite from my harrowing dreams.

I hurriedly entangled myself from the bedsheets, slipping my silk robe on over the underwear that I'd slept in that night and made my way over to the door, blinking the sleep from my eyes.

"Jason!" I was taken aback as my colleague barged past me, forcibly shouldering me out of the way. "What the hell?"

He whirled around as I shut the door behind him and I turned to face him uneasily. His usual smirk was wider than normal, almost sinister.

"Sleep well?" He sneered.

"Y... yeah... well... no, not really if I'm being honest," I stuttered. "I still feel a little shaken up from yesterday."

I watched as his smirk grew. "Oh really? You might fool everyone else Lyla, but you're not fooling me."

Sharp spikes of anxiety shot through me but I tried as best as I could to maintain a neutral expression. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play the innocent, it doesn't suit you. Now I know full well there's some weird kind of twisted shit going on with you and that sick fuck, and I want to know what it is."

"That's ridiculous! There's nothing going on! I don't know what the hell you're suggesting!" I used the outrage I felt at myself for the truth in his words to fuel my defensive lies.

Jason shook his head slowly, smugness oozing from every pore. "First he lets you go when he could have easily killed you, then he's fucking calling you up in your hotel room!" He let out an incredulous snort. "I read your report. You said you were in the bath at the time didn't you? Well before we flew out I went to scope out the empty apartment he was watching you from. Yeah... that's right... he was watching you. But I'm sure you knew that right? Probably put on a good show for him, didn't you?"

"Get fucked Jason, you don't know shit!" I cried, indignant.

"Well... it's no secret what you're into... there's always been plenty of rumours going round. Except they're not just rumours any more. Had a very interesting chat with Scott Parker who works with the London team..."

I mentally scrolled through my recent partners. Yeah, there were a fair few of them, and okay... I did have particular preferences... but what the fuck did that have to do with anyone else?

Hold on... Scott... fuck... scenes flashed through my mind like some x-rated BDSM film and I felt a deep flush rising in me, colouring my cheeks. He was one of the few guys who was actually on the same page as me sexually. Most guys were either mortified at my requests or completely turned off when I started making my demands.

"I don't know why you're so bloody obsessed with my sex life!" I shouted. "Is it because you're not getting any huh? I'm not surprised. What woman would willingly go near you, you fucking pervert!"

Jason's face twisted with anger into a vile sneer and he took a step closer until he was invading my personal space.

"You know what? You're nothing but a cheap slut! All those guys you plead with to rough you up, begging them to fucking choke you and slap you and shit? That's not normal! What's up? You got daddy issues? Want me to put you over my knee and give you a good hiding, eh? Bet you'd like that wouldn't you? I'll be your fucking daddy Lyla!"

As he spoke he stepped even closer still, spitting the words right into my face, making me flinch.

I reacted without thinking. My hand flew up and curled into a fist before it struck Jason's right cheek, knocking his head sideways. "You bastard!" I cried.

It wasn't the first time I'd got physical with Jason when he'd overstepped the boundaries. It normally put him right in his place. But he'd never gone this far before. And as he lifted his head, wiping the back of his hand over his mouth and fixing me with a look of contempt which made me suck in a breath, I knew something had changed.

He advanced on me even further, forcing me back against the bathroom door. I didn't react straight away, stunned temporarily, I just watched dumbstruck as Jason reached up a hand, letting his fingers run along the edge of my robe where it was crossed over my chest, his fingers lightly grazing the lace cup of my bra.

His voice dropped low as he spoke, and he was close enough for me to smell the sour stench of coffee on his breath. "You know, you'd better start being a lot nicer to me Lyla... if you don't want me going to Paul with my suspicions. I wonder what he'd think if he knew his golden girl was fucking a serial killer..."

I tensed, reviled at his touch, wanting to lash out at him but terrified of the consequences. Wondering if he was just calling my bluff, seeing how far he could push me.

What did he have to lose after all? Nothing.

And what did I have to lose? Everything.

Jason stepped back, looking me up and down with a disgusting kind of smug satisfaction at his newfound power over me.

"You've not heard the last of this..."

He left the room.

Excerpts from Bessel Van Der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score

The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves. We want to think of families as safe havens in a heartless world and of our own country as populated by enlighten, civilized people. We prefer to believe that cruelty occurs only in faraway places like Darfur or the Congo.

Most human suffering is related to love and loss and that the job of therapists is to help people acknowledge, experience, and bear the reality of life - with all its pleasures and heartbreak.

Our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another. Restoring relationships and community is central to restoring well-being. Language gives us the power to change ourselves and others by communicating our experiences, helping us to define what we know, and finding a common sense of meaning... We can change social conditions to create environments in which children and adults can feel safe and where they can thrive.

Trauma almost invariable involves not being seen, not being mirrored, and not being taken into account.

If an organism is stuck in survival mode, its energies are focused on fighting off unseen enemies, which leaves no room for nurture, care, and love. For us humans, it means that as long as the mind is defending itself against invisible assaults, our closest bonds are threatened, along with our ability to imagine, plan, play, learn, and pay attention to other people's needs.

How many mental health problems, from drug addiction to self-injurious behavior, start as attemps to cope with the unbearable physical pain of our emotions.

... knowing that we are seen and heard by the important people in our lives can make us feel calm and safe, and why being ignored or dismissed can precipitate rage reaction or mental collapse. It helped us understand why focused attunement with another person can shift us out of disorganized and fearful states.

When the message we receive from another person is 'you're safe with me,' we relax.

Most of our energy is devoted to connecting with others.

...almost all mental suffering involves either trouble in creating workable and satisfying relationships...

Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.

The critical issue is reciprocity: being truly heard and seen by the people around us, feeling that we are held in someone else's mind and heart. For our physiology to calm down, heal, and grow we need a visceral feeling of safety. No doctor can write a prescription for friendship and love: These are complex and hard-earned capacities.

Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves.

The most common response to distress is to seek out people we like and trust to help us and give us the courage to go on.

Supressing our inner cries for help does not stop our stress hormones from mobilizing the body.

The most natural way for human beings to calm themselves when they are upset is by clinging to another person.

... Human beings may be induced to sacrifice everything they hold dear and true -- including their sense of self -- for the sake of being loved and approved of by someone in a position of power.

i like my body when it is with your body ... muscles better and nerves more.

Economist have calculated that every dollar invested in high-quality home visitation, day care, and preschool programs results in seven dollars of savings on welfare payments, health-care costs, substance-abuse treatment, and incarceration, plus higher tax revenues due to better-paying jobs.

When we play together, we feel physically attuned and experience a sense of connection and joy.

However, the most natural way that we humans calm down our distress is by being touched, hugged, and rocked.

While trauma keeps us dumbfounded, the path out of it is paved with words, carefully assembled, piece by piece, until the whole story can be revealed.

Feeling listened to and understood changes our physiology; being able to articulate a complex feeling, and having our feelings recognized, lights up our limbic brain and creates an 'aha' moment. In contrast, being met by silence and incomprehension kills the spirit.

Death, destruction, and sorrow need to be constantly justified in the absence of some overarching meaning for the suffering.

This is one of the most profound experiences we can have, and such resonance, in which hitherto unspoken words can be discovered, uttered, and received, is fundamental to healing the isolation of trauma - especially if other people in our lives have ignored or silenced us. Communicating fully is the opposite of being traumatized.

Public story and inner experience finally meet.

The object of writing is to write to yourself, to let yourself know what you have been trying to avoid.

Like a splinter that causes an infection, it is the body's response to the foreign object that becomes the problem more than the object itself.

This is where organized employee transportation services come into play. Here are a few reasons why these services have become essential in Kochi:

Reducing Commuting Stress: Long commutes can lead to employee burnout and lower productivity. Providing transportation services helps employees avoid the stress of traffic, allowing them to start their day fresh and focused.

2. Key Benefits of Employee Transportation Services

Offering employee transportation is a win-win for both companies and their employees. Here are the key benefits:

They can also utilize commute time for personal relaxation or even work-related activities in the case of Wi-Fi-enabled transport.

Cost Savings: For employees, using a company-provided transport service can lead to significant savings on fuel, vehicle maintenance, and other transportation costs. For companies, pooling employees in shared vehicles reduces the need for parking spaces and mitigates costs associated with individual travel reimbursements.

In cities like Kochi, where rapid urbanization and increasing population density pose significant transportation challenges, employee transportation services have emerged as an essential service to enhance employee welfare and organizational efficiency.

Understanding Employee Transportation Services

Kochi, one of the fastest-growing cities in India, faces a myriad of transportation challenges. With an influx of professionals from various sectors, including IT, healthcare, and hospitality, the demand for efficient commuting options is at an all-time high. Several factors contribute to the necessity for dedicated employee transportation services across Kochi:

1. Traffic Congestion: With the rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the road, traffic congestion has become a major issue. Peak hours often see long delays, making it impractical for employees to rely solely on personal transport.

2. Public Transport Limitations: While Kochi has made strides in improving its public transport facilities, many employees struggle with the irregularity and unreliability of public transport services. This can lead to increased stress and reduced productivity.

3. Safety and Security: Employee safety is a paramount concern for organizations. Companies can provide a safer commuting option through organized transport services, ensuring that employees reach their destinations securely, particularly during late hours.

5. Employee Satisfaction: A reliable transportation service can significantly enhance employee satisfaction by minimizing commute-related stress and enabling better work-life balance. When employees feel cared for, it can lead to increased loyalty and retention.

Benefits of Employee Transportation Services

Organizations that opt for employee transportation services in Kochi can reap several benefits, including:

1. Increased Productivity: By reducing the time employees spend commuting, organizations can enhance overall productivity. This time saved can be redirected towards work, innovation, and collaboration.

2. Lower Absenteeism: With reliable transportation, employees are less likely to be late or absent, which contributes to smoother operations and a more committed workforce.

3. Enhanced Employee Morale: When employees benefit from comfortable and efficient transportation, their morale improves. This positivity can lead to a more cohesive work environment and greater job satisfaction.

4. Corporate Image and Branding: Providing transportation services can enhance a company's image as an employee-centric organization. This can be particularly appealing to prospective employees and may help attract top talent.

5. Sustainability Initiatives: Many organizations are now seeking to promote sustainability. Employee transportation services can help reduce the carbon footprint by optimizing vehicle usage and reducing the number of individual cars on the road.

Implementing Employee Transportation Services in Kochi

For companies considering the implementation of employee transportation services in Kochi, several steps need to be taken to ensure successful execution:

1. Assess Employee Needs: Understand the commuting patterns of employees by surveying them. Identify the key areas from which employees travel, peak commuting times, and preferred modes of transport.

3. Partner with Reliable Transport Providers: Collaborating with established transportation service providers can guarantee service reliability and safety. It's essential to choose partners who comply with local regulations and have a track record of efficient service delivery.

4. Establish Clear Communication: Maintaining open lines of communication with employees regarding transportation schedules, routes, and any changes is vital. Clear communication can heighten employee confidence in the transport system.

5. Measure and Optimize: Continuously monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of transportation services. Regular feedback from employees can help in making necessary adjustments to improve the service.

As Kochi continues to expand and evolve as a prominent business hub, the demand for effective employee transportation services will only increase. Organizations that recognize the importance of such services and take proactive steps to implement them will likely see a direct correlation between their investment and enhanced employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity. 

Leveraging employee transportation services not only supports individual employees but also contributes to the overall growth and success of organizations in Kochi. In an era where employee welfare is paramount, establishing a robust employee transportation service is not just a trend but a strategic necessity. As businesses adapt to the changing dynamics of the workforce, investing in comprehensive and reliable transportation solutions will undoubtedly set them apart in the competitive landscape.

Nourishing Communities The Impact of Summer Food Programs

As the scorching heat of summer settles in, many families face a challenge beyond the sweltering temperatures: ensuring their children have access to nutritious meals. For millions of children who rely on school meals during the academic year, the summer break presents a gap in this vital source of nutrition. However, summer food programs have emerged as a beacon of hope, bridging this gap and nourishing communities across the nation.

Summer food programs, often operated by local governments, community organizations, or school districts, offer free meals to children during the summer months. These programs typically provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, or a combination thereof, served at designated sites such as schools, parks, community centers, or mobile vans. The aim is to reach children in underserved areas, where food insecurity is prevalent, and ensure they receive nutritious meals even when school is out.

One of the primary benefits of summer food programs is combating food insecurity among children. According to the USDA, food insecurity affects millions of households in the United States, with children being particularly vulnerable. Summer food programs play a crucial role in alleviating hunger during the summer break, ensuring that children have access to balanced meals regardless of their family's financial circumstances.

Moreover, these programs promote overall health and well-being by offering nutritious meals that include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. By providing essential nutrients, summer food programs contribute to children's physical and cognitive development, supporting their growth and learning throughout the summer months.

Beyond addressing immediate nutritional needs, summer food programs foster community engagement and support. Volunteers, often from within the community, play a vital role in distributing meals, organizing activities, and creating a welcoming environment for children and families. This sense of community involvement not only strengthens social ties but also empowers residents to take an active role in addressing food insecurity and promoting child welfare.

Additionally, summer food programs often incorporate educational components, such as nutrition workshops or cooking demonstrations, to promote healthy eating habits and food literacy among participants. By combining meals with educational opportunities, these programs equip children and families with the knowledge and skills needed to make healthier food choices year-round.

Despite their numerous benefits, summer food programs face challenges such as funding constraints, limited outreach, and logistical hurdles in reaching remote or rural areas. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts among policymakers, community organizations, and volunteers to expand program accessibility and effectiveness.

Summer food programs play a vital role in ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals during the summer break, combating food insecurity, promoting health and well-being, fostering community engagement, and empowering families with valuable resources and knowledge. By supporting and expanding these programs, we can nourish communities and create a brighter future for all children.

Hygiene on the Go: Benefits of Renting Portable Bathrooms

In a fast-paced world where mobility and convenience are paramount, ensuring impeccable hygiene even while on the go has become a necessity. Enter the realm of portable bathrooms, a solution that transcends traditional notions of restrooms and offers a range of benefits that cater to modern lifestyles. Whether at outdoor events, construction sites, or remote locations, the concept of maintaining hygiene no longer requires sacrificing comfort or cleanliness. This exploration delves into the myriad advantages of renting portable bathrooms, highlighting their role in providing accessible, well-maintained facilities that uphold stringent hygiene standards. From versatile event settings to essential job sites, these portable units stand as a testament to innovation's capacity to merge practicality with hygiene, ensuring that the demands of a dynamic world are met without compromise.

Accessible Cleanliness: Portable Bathrooms Where You Need Them

Portable bathrooms bring a new dimension to accessible cleanliness, ensuring that sanitary facilities are available exactly where they're needed. These units can be strategically positioned at public events, construction sites, festivals, or any temporary gathering, offering a convenient and reliable solution for attendees. Whether it's a large-scale music festival or a small outdoor wedding, the ability to set up portable bathrooms on-site eliminates the need for attendees to search for distant restrooms, enhancing their overall experience while maintaining hygiene standards. The accessibility factor also extends to disaster relief efforts, allowing rapid deployment of sanitary facilities in areas affected by emergencies, where access to basic amenities might be compromised. Portable bathroom rentals provide a convenient and accessible solution for maintaining hygiene in various settings.

Event Flexibility: Hygienic Solutions for Outdoor Gatherings

Outdoor events come with their own set of challenges, including the provision of clean restroom facilities. Portable bathrooms offer event planners unparalleled flexibility, allowing them to organize gatherings in locations that lack permanent restroom infrastructure. Whether it's a community fair, a sports tournament, or a corporate retreat, renting portable bathrooms ensures that attendees can enjoy the event without sacrificing comfort or hygiene. These units can be customized to match the event's theme and size, showcasing how modern portable bathrooms have become an integral aspect of successful outdoor events.

Construction Sites: Maintaining Worker Welfare and Health

Construction sites often lack convenient access to proper restroom facilities, which can negatively impact workers' well-being and overall productivity. Portable bathrooms address this issue by providing workers with clean and accessible restrooms on-site. By prioritizing workers' hygiene needs, construction companies can enhance morale and foster a healthier work environment. Portable bathrooms also demonstrate a commitment to workers' safety and health, helping to prevent potential health hazards that can arise from unsanitary conditions at construction sites.

Travel and Adventures: Ensuring Hygiene in Remote Locations

Whether it's a remote camping expedition, a road trip, or a day at the beach, maintaining personal hygiene while on the move can be a challenge. Portable bathrooms offer a solution for travelers seeking clean and private restroom facilities in remote or outdoor settings. With these units, travelers can experience the great outdoors without compromising on cleanliness. This is especially relevant for recreational vehicles (RVs) and camper vans, where portable bathrooms provide the convenience of a home restroom while on the road.

Getting to Know You Tag Game

Tysm @aristocratic-otter for the tag 💖💖💖💖💖💖

Relationship Status: Married for *uses calculator to do math* 24 years.

Favorite Color: ok so my favorite color is the blue of the sky about 20 minutes after sunset. Aside from being “the blue hour,” someone made it into a crazy nuclear paint color called Quantum Blue. So my favorite color is Quantum Blue.

Favorite Food: ya know, I really like cheese.

Song Stuck in Your Head: I didn’t have anything stuck in my head. Then I thought, if I wanted a song stuck in my head, it would be Lucy by Jaden & just like that: now it’s stuck in my head.

Last thing I Googled: the name for that blue sky 20 minutes after midnight. It didn’t come up, so ultimately I had to scroll through some old messages to @penpanoply where I told her about my discovery of Quantum Blue.

Time: 9:35 PM

Dream Trip: Hm. That’s really tough. Lots of places I’d love to go, but what comes to mind off the top of my head is Yellowstone, but I need someone to plan it for me 😬. Like I want to see wolves & bears & moose & stuff. It’s not that epically dreamy but I’m kind of an anxious traveler at the best of times & the pandemic just made it worse.

Last Book I Read (I don’t know why it double spaced, weird.) like others, I just relistened to Boyfriend Material to prep for Husband Material. I also just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. It was kind of great.

Last Book I Hated Reading: I had to dig through my Goodreads…it was Vicious by VE Schwab. I had the audiobook & I hated it, everyone in the book was awful. It’s been awhile so I don’t remember exactly why I hated it so much, I kept thinking I would eventually grow to like it, but I never did & then I had invested so much time that I made myself finish, but had zero desire to read the next one.

God I’m doing this on mobile & I don’t know how to add a cut & I have no idea why this is double spacing randomly so sorry I’m clogging your feed.

Favorite thing to cook/bake: I’m not a great baker because I’m not that precise when I cook. I can cook a lot of stuff & I haven’t really thought about what my fave thing is, but I kind of love to make sandwiches for just myself. I make stuff for the fam all the time and I stress a bit about whether or not they’ll like it. But I can get kinda crazy with sandwiches for me & it’s fun. I may have kind of a stupid amount of mustard varieties.

Favorite free time craft: I make mosaics. Currently working on a dragon. My last one was a betta fish.

Most niche dislikes: I have no idea…I hate the band Muse with my whole heart. No reason really, just can’t stand that guy’s whiny voice. And disco. I hate disco it makes me angry. Pretty much any media that’s older than me I dislike. 😬

Thoughts on Circuses: I don’t like them. They stress me out on so many levels. Clowns are creepy, animal welfare issues, not sure any of the performers are having a good time.

Do you have a sense of Direction & if not what’s your worst getting lost story? I just spent way to much time writing my story and somehow managed to delete the whole thing so short version: no. I have a poor sense of direction & you’re gonna just have to take my word for it.
