It's hard for most people to even understand what it's like to be imprisoned, tortured, and used as an object for one day. This woman, Colleen Stan, had to live in such conditions for 2555 days. He forced her to believe and trust him and it blows my mind that she would succumb to his demands and believe his lies that seem so unreal for anyone to take seriously, referring to "The Company". I've never been in such a situation so maybe she was willing to believe anything when in distress. It was inevitable that after so much time she was going to not resist her assailant out of necessity to survive. I'm glad the CJ system did not let Hooker off with the torment he caused her after she accepted her role as "K" and did as Hooker ordered without any complications. Yes she didn't fight back but it was only out of defense to keep him from doing more harmful things and to continue living.

What really struck me was that when she was allowed to return home to visit her family to tell them that she was "fine", she did not tell anyone what had happened to her while gone for so long. Yes Hooker threatened her by saying he had placed bombs around the house, but how could he know if she leaked any information to her family and they could have contacted authorities and left the house before any of the fake danger could of been acted out. Also, how could none of her family ask about what she had been up to for the long time that had gone by since she left. I find it hard to believe that they didn't ask her questions because they were afraid she wouldn't come back.

Also, thank you Vanessa for posting a copy of the contract Colleen had to sign. I was wondering what sort of things were written in it. Nice find.
