The Night of the Huntress

Chapter I: Fox on the Run

Adele Cooper and her boyfriend Tommy were sitting on the floor of their caravan.
A tall slim redhead with a roll of duct tape in her hand has just finished
binding them back-to-back. 
“Please take whatever you want. Just don’t hurt us.” pleaded Adele while her
boyfriend, a tough biker was crying because he knew what the intruder was after.
“Of course I’m gonna take whatever I want. You are too tied up to stop me.” She
started to laugh while the couple was looking at her with tears in their eyes.
“Now open your mouths and open them wide. I have two nice little gags for you,
my friends.” Two large wadded handkerchiefs appeared in her hand.
“No please don’t gag us. We will be quiet.”
“Of course you will be quiet.” The intruder smiled and fondled Adele’s long
black hair and then crammed one of the handkerchiefs into the woman’s mouth.
Adele started to moan and tried not to choke while the redhead wrapped the duct
tape several times around her head.
“It looks like you’ll need a new haircut after they find you.”
Although the redhead who invaded their caravan must have been at least ten years
younger than the helpless couple she seemed to be unusually evil. Adele was
astonished by her cruelty.
“Now it is your turn to get gagged.”
“Please, do whatever you want with us. Just don’t take my motorbike, please.”
said the crying biker. His girlfriend gave him an angry grunt through her gag.
“You are very cute couple.” said their captor and stuffed the handkerchief into
Tommy’s mouth and wrapped the tape around his head as well. Then she blindfolded
both of them with their bandannas.
“Okay darlings, now I have to change from this awful prison uniform into some of
Adele’s sexy leather motorbike outfits and I can drive away on Tommy’s sexy
motorbike.”
The loud moans of protests came out of Adele’s and Tommy’s mouths but the
redhead did not pay any attention to them as she was unbuttoning her prison
shirt.

Ten minutes later she was leaving the caravan dressed in Adele’s black leather
pants, T-shirt, leather jacket and red bandanna around her neck. She hid the gun
stolen from a prison guard in the inner pocket of her jacket, put the helmet on
her head and got on the motorbike. It was almost daybreak when she was leaving
the secluded caravan on the edge of the woods. Another cold October day was
beginning. Her next stop would be Bakersfield.

Maureen Mitchum has just come home from school. She closed the door and dropped
her bag on the floor.
“Mom? Are you here?” she shouted while putting her coat on the hanger.
“Hello Maureen, it’s been a while.” said the familiar voice behind her.
The 18 year old blonde turned around in shock and saw the smiling redhead in
leather outfit with the gun pointing to her.
“Darby? But you were in ...”
“Yes, I was in jail but it was so boring so I decided to escape. Now put your
hands behind your back and be quiet.”
The girl did as the redhead said and Darby put her gun away and started to tie
Maureen’s hands behind her back.”
“What do you want, Darby? What have you done with my mother?”
“Oh, she’s fine. We have become quite good friends. We even played cops and
robbers.” She finished tying her former classmate’s wrists. “Now be quiet and go
to your bedroom. Your mom is waiting there for you.”
Maureen entered the room and saw her mom, Roberta, 50 year old full-figured lady
with short blond hair, dressed in blue jeans and a buttoned denim shirt of the
same color, lying tightly tied up on the bed with a blue bandanna tied between
her lips. She started to moan through her gag when she saw her daughter.
“Mom, are you alright?” shouted terrified Maureen.
“As you can see she is not harmed. I won’t harm any of you if you cooperate.”
“Please, we will do anything you say.”
“Good. Now get on the bed next to her.”
Darby took two long silk scarves and tied Maureen’s ankles and knees.
“Why are you doing this Darby? What do you want?”
“What does every woman want - a lot of money, fancy clothes and her revenge.”
“But we haven’t done anything to you ... mmmmmmph.” Maureen was gagged with a
red bandanna which previously belonged to Adele Cooper.
“I know, Maureen. From you I want only money and clothes. The revenge will come
later but you don’t have to worry about that. It’s Sherry Rathbone who should be
worried.”
Both helpless women were now struggling and moaning while watching Darby open
the closet. She took some clothes out of it.
“You have very nice taste, Maureen. I have to change from this biker outfit. I
stole it this morning several hours after my escape from a very cute girl. Her
bound and gagged boyfriend was so kind he forced me to steal his motorbike which
is, by the way, hidden in the shack in your backyard.”
Maureen and her mother were helplessly watching Maureen’s former classmate going
through her closet. The gun was lying on the floor. They did not doubt that this
sinister girl would use it in case they tried anything stupid and so both mom
and her daughter were just lying calmly on the bed and did not even try to
struggle or make any sounds through their gags.
“How do I look?” asked Darby half an hour later when she finished dressing
herself.
Both captives saw she was wearing Maureen’s short black skirt with black
stockings, black leather high heel boots, green shirt, blue silk scarf and black
leather jacket. She completed her outfit with dark glasses and leather gloves.
Maureen was quite angry. That gruesome female felon has just stolen her favorite
green shirt which was a present from her boyfriend. She started to grunt through
her gag. Darby started to laugh.
“Anything wrong, dear?”
The redhead picked up the gun from the floor and pointed it to her captives.
“Okay ladies, the fun is over. It is time to put an end to your misery. No
witnesses, you understand that, don’t you?”
Maureen and her mother started to yell hysterically through their gags and
struggle furiously. Darby was standing in front of them with an evil smile on
her face aiming at them. Suddenly she dropped the gun.
“I was only kidding. There is only one person I wish to get rid of and it is
Sherry Rathbone. But you should see that look in your eyes. It is priceless. So
anyway I must be going. It was nice meeting you Mrs. Mitchum, I am always happy
to acquaint with my friends’ parents. As you told me Mr. Mitchum should return
tomorrow morning from Mexico. He will surely untie you, don’t worry. Good bye,
ladies.”
And then Darby left the room and two helpless tied up captives started to
struggle and yell through their gags.

Like any other ordinary American town on this day, Bakersfield was completely
taken over by preparations for today’s Halloween night. Typical carved pumpkins
with candles appeared in front of every house, children were running all over
the town in the most bizarre masks and costumes and teenagers were buying
alcohol for tonight’s wild parties. The only person in Bakersfield who did not
share this madness was Sherry Rathbone.
Right after she came home from school, she headed upstairs to her room, threw
her schoolbag under the bed and turned the TV on. Today while everybody else
will be trick-or-treating and celebrating she will be having wonderful time with
old black and white horror movies. Her favorite channel was broadcasting a
Halloween movie marathon and she could not wait to watch all those great movies
she loved. 
She decided to make herself a cup of tea before the Creature from the Black
Lagoon starts. She ran downstairs and that’s why she missed the important news
about the escape of her former schoolmate Darby Deerfield from the prison.



Chapter II: She Walked by Night
The living-room was full of cigarette smoke. The smell of tobacco was mixing
together with the smell of coffee. The sound of loud classical music was being
constantly interrupted by women’s laughter. Rachel Rathbone and Peg Baker were
spending this Halloween evening together at Rathbone’s place drinking coffee,
eating cookies, smoking cigarettes and chatting. Rachel’s older daughter Sherry
was in her room watching TV while Michelle, the younger one, was out
trick-or-treating together with Peg’s daughter Lucy. Both women were in their
early forties. They still looked very beautiful and dressed themselves very
elegantly. Tonight Rachel was wearing her white shirt and long blue denim skirt
while Peg was dressed in a purple satin blouse and black leather pants. Rachel
was a natural redhead with very smart short haircut and Peg had her long dark
hair dyed black. Both were divorced and men have been willing to kill each other
just to get their attention. 
Rachel and Peg have been friends since their childhood. Now they were talking
about those good old times at high school and had lots of fun remembering all
the pranks they did to their classmates.
“Do you remember how we tied up and gagged Susan Hale in the locker room because
she stole my boyfriend?” asked smiling Rachel.
“Yeah, I remember. We used almost whole roll of duct tape on her.” Both women
started to laugh.
“I wanted to dump him anyway but it was lot of fun.”
“What? We could have been expelled.”
“We were lucky she did not tell it on us.” said Rachel and lit another
cigarette.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
“Probably other kids, I’ll go there.” Mrs. Rathbone stubbed her cigarette out in
the ashtray, stood up, grabbed the basket with sweets for the children and went
to open the door.
“Trick or treat.” said the girl in front of the door. There were no other kids,
only her. She was dressed in the black costume of a nun. Mrs. Rathbone smiled
and wanted to give her a handful of sweets when she realized that there was a
gun in the girl’s hand and it pointed to her.
“May I come in?”

Sherry felt like she was in heaven – a cup of black tea, black-and-white movies,
nobody around. It was a perfect evening for her. She has already seen Creature
from the Black Lagoon, Dracula with Bela Lugosi, Bride of Frankenstein, House on
the Haunted Hill and Raven which has just finished. It was long time until
midnight and at least three more movies were ahead of her.
She got up from the bed and left the room to get more tea before another movie
starts. While she was heading downstairs she heard very strange girl’s singing:
“Cleaning, cleaning, safe and secure from all alarms, cleaning, cleaning ...”
“I knew my mom is listening to a weird music but nothing can be so weird. Maybe
they are drunk and Mrs. Baker tries to sing.” said Sherry to herself and entered
the living-room.
“... cleaning on the everlasting Farms. ... It seems that the mystery guest of
our Halloween show has just arrived. Welcome Sherry.”
Sherry could not believe her own eyes. In the living room she saw her old
nemesis Darby Deerfield dressed as nun who was singing that weird song a while
ago. She was holding a gun in her hand and pointing to her mom and Mrs. Baker
with it. Both ladies were sitting in the chairs tied up and gagged with duct
tape. When they saw Sherry they started to mumble and moan through their gags.
They tried to tell her to run away.
“Well Sherry, you are smart and you know what is gonna happen so don’t do
anything stupid, sit on this chair and let me tie you up or all of you will get
it.”
Sherry knew she had to do what she was told because there was no escape from the
bullet and Darby was crazy enough to fulfill her threats. She sat down and put
her hands behind her back.
“Good girl, Sherry.” smiled Darby and started to tie her wrists with duct tape.
“What are you doing here, Darby? Why aren’t you in jail?”
“For somebody who is so intelligent, you have very stupid questions. Anyway,
what I am doing here is obvious – revenge, sweet revenge. And as for your second
question, I decided that I have already paid my debt to the society and let
myself out on the parole earlier. Unfortunately I forgot to ask the authorities
and so they are probably looking for me right now. But don’t worry. It will be
over for you before they find me. I will be happy to return to jail after your
accidental death.”
“C’mon Darby, you don’t want to mess your life with murder. If you tie me up and
leave, we will tell the police it was a masked burglar and you can disappear.
What is more important, revenge or freedom?”
“Well ... I ... ha ha ha, you almost got me Sherry. Revenge, of course.”
Sherry frowned and did not say anything. Darby finished tying her up to the
chair.
“And now you know what is coming next, don’t you?”
“An ice cream?”
“Very funny, Sherry.”
“Okay, gag me if it pleases you. I am used to it anyway.”
“Nothing can please me more and you must know that. Otherwise you would not
bring your own gag.” Darby untied Sherry’s red bandanna from her neck and
stuffed it deeply into her mouth.
“Mmmmmph ...”
“Did you say something?”
Oh no, thought Sherry. I have done it again. Sherry’s bandanna and scarves were
constantly used as gags. Many times she decided not to wear them anymore but
then again she told herself it had been only a stupid coincidence and it
wouldn’t happen again. She was always wrong about that.
The gag in her mouth was secured with three pieces of Darby’s duct tape.
The intruder then took off her nun costume and threw it on the floor. She still
had Maureen’s clothes. “So much for the pathos, now we will get serious. Rachel
told me her second daughter should be coming soon. We will wait for sweet
Michelle, tie her up too and then Sherry and I will take a little ride in your
mom’s car. You will be surprised what I have in store for you, Sherry.”

Sherry Rathbone had to spend two hours tied up to that chair with that large gag
stuffed in her mouth watching her poor mom and Mrs. Baker struggling and moaning
and listening to wouldbe funny remarks of their captor who was walking through
the room talking to herself and giggling.
Suddenly they all heard voices in the entrance hall.
“Okay, girls come with me. We will just say hello to our moms and then I will
show you that DVD I was talking about.”
It was Sherry’s younger sister Michelle who has just come back from
trick-or-treating and apparently she was not alone. Darby aimed gun at the door
of the living-room. It opened and three surprised and shocked girls appeared in
the room.
First of them was Michelle, a nineteen year old redhead, dressed in Julie
Newmar’s Catwoman outfit from the 1960’s Batman TV show. She has already taken
off the mask from her eyes and the wig that belonged to the costume. The second
girl was Lucy Baker. She was dressed in Wonder Woman outfit and she looked
almost exactly like Lynda Carter. The last girl was Michelle’s best friend
Veronica. She was 16 as well and her costume resembled Elvira’s outfit. She even
had her typical black wig on her head.
“Darby Deerfield.” remarked Lucy when she got herself over the shock.
“I am certainly glad to see you too, Lucy. All right, you sit down on the last
chair Lucy and you girls on the couch. I guess I was lucky I bought two rolls of
duct tape.”

Ten minutes later all three newcomers were tied up and gagged as well. Lucy was
sitting on the chair while Michelle and Veronica were bound back-to-back on the
couch.
“I hope nobody else is coming, I have run out of duct tape,” smiled wicked Darby
as she finished taping Lucy’s mouth.
“Actually Lucy, it is very nice of you to show up. Do you remember my girlfriend
Loren?”
Lucy frowned under the gag. Loren Douglas was Darby’s partner in crime and the
sister of her ex-boyfriend who split up with Lucy after she and Sherry got Darby
and Loren to the jail.
“Anyway Loren escaped with me. She wanted to get even with you. But
unfortunately she broke her ankle and I had to leave her in the woods for police
to find. I think she would want me to get even with you instead of her, don’t
you think?”
Lucy mumbled something under her gag and Darby smiled.
“I knew you will agree with me. Okay now it is time to get you and Sherry into
the trunk of the car that Mrs. Rathbone kindly lent me and get out of here.”
But before she could start cutting the tape binding Lucy to the chair she heard
the sounds of police sirens.
“Oh no, those two witches had to free themselves and call the police. I was
stupid enough to tell them after whom I am.”
All six prisoners started to yell through their gags in desperate effort to let
police know they were there.
The doorbell rang. “Police, open the door.”
“Okay, I am in no mood for the hostage situations right now.” said Darby and put
on her nun outfit again. It was black and it will help her hide in the night.
She grabbed the gun, pointed it to Sherry and said: “We will meet again soon.”
And then she got out of the window and disappeared in the darkness of the back
yard.
Two minutes later the door of the Rathbone house was broken down and two
policemen found six bound and gagged struggling captives.




Chapter III: Darby Deerfield Strikes Back
Two days have passed since the horrors of the Halloween night. Mrs. Rathbone,
Mrs. Baker and all the girls have already recovered after their terrible
experience but Darby escaped and police did not find her. Sherry learned that it
was Maureen Mitchum who called the police after she and her mom managed to untie
themselves. Although they were never friends Sherry was eternally grateful to
her because without Maureen she would not probably be here.
It was Friday evening and Sherry was reading a hardboiled mystery novel set in
the 1950s and listening to the rock music. Suddenly her cellphone rang. She got
a message from Lucy.
“Hi Sherry. Meet me at the main square in front of the cinema in 20 minute.
Lucy.”
They were talking about the possibility of going to the cinema earlier and so
Sherry not suspicious of anything put on a leather jacket over her red flannel
shirt, tied a bandanna around her neck and left the house.

She got there on time but did not see her friend.
“That’s weird, Lucy’s never late.” She took a suspicious look around her and
when she did not see anything dubious, she lit a cigarette and decided to wait.
“Hello Sherry,” she heard a voice behind her five minutes later when she dropped
the cigarette butt and stepped on it with her sneaker. She turned around and saw
the familiar face of her nemesis Darby Deerfield.
“Darby? Where is Lucy?”
“She is little tied up at the moment.” said the redhead with a big cruel smile.
“I know it is an old joke but I can never get tired of saying it.”
Sherry did not care about her jokes.
“What have you done with her?
“What do you think? I tied her up and gagged her. She is waiting for you. Come
with me peacefully because the thing I have my hand on in the pocket is a loaded
gun.”
Sherry gave up and decided to obey her enemy. She was angry at herself for
falling into this stupid trap.

Darby led Sherry to the Japanese teahouse not far from the square. During the
whole way Sherry was looking around but there was no cop in sight. She did not
want to try to escape because even if Darby would not shoot her she still had
Lucy in her power. 
Both girls entered the teahouse. It was full of typical Japanese furniture. The
intense smell of tea was very pleasant but even though Sherry liked tea and
Japanese culture she was not interested in it right now. She was looking for
help but there were only two guests, a couple, that did not care about anything
else then themselves, and the staff of the house, a tall slim ugly Japanese man.
He tried to smile but without any success.
“Konnichiwa Darby-sama,” he greeted and bowed respectfully.
Darby said “hi” in Japanese as well and led Sherry through the room. They
entered the backroom and Darby said: “I bet you did not know that this little
teahouse is a front for various criminal activities in Bakersfield, did you?”
“No.” Sherry was shocked by this information because she knew various clubs and
bars where you could find the people you needed to find but she would never
suspect this quiet place.
“I have been hiding here for the last two days since that misadventure in your
house, Sherry. Now we are alone and you can put your hands behind your back.”
“You should learn some new tricks, Darby. This tying up business is little bit
old-fashioned.”
“Yeah but it always works. Now put your hands behind your back or I’ll shoot
you.”
Sherry decided not to resist any more and did as she was told.
Darby took the prepared piece of rope out of her pocket, rolled up the sleeves
of Sherry’s jacket little bit and bound her wrists with it.
“Nice leather bracelets. You did not wear them two days ago, did you?”
Sherry did not respond and let Darby lead her from the backroom downstairs to
the basement.
They entered a large room full of tough looking guys with a lot of weapons and
drugs on the tables around them. Sherry recognized some of them. They were
Bakersfield’s notorious crooks.
“Hey guys,” said Darby.
“Hi baby,” replied one of them. “How many times do I have to tell you that you
must blindfold your prisoners?”
“Don’t worry. She won’t live to tell.” Darby and the criminals started to laugh,
Sherry frowned and her captor dragged her through the lair into a small corridor
with several doors. Darby unlocked one of them and pushed Sherry inside. The
room was dark. Sherry heard only silent moaning. That must be Lucy, she thought.
Darby turned on the light and Sherry saw her best friend bound hand and feet on
the floor. There was a gag in her mouth as well, probably Lucy’s scarf tied over
her beautiful black hair. The large knot was tied in the middle of the scarf and
placed between her shiny red lips. She was dressed in light blue jeans stuffed
into black leather boots, white shirt and brown leather jacket.
She was crying and looked completely helpless and miserable. When she saw tied
up Sherry she mumbled her friend’s name through her gag.
“Lucy, are you alright?”
Lucy shook her head no.
“Get on the floor Sherry.”
Sherry was so furious when she saw her trussed up friend. She started to kick
Darby.
“Stop it or I’ll shoot you both.” shouted Darby, pointed her gun to Sherry and
throw her down on the floor next to Lucy. Sherry calmed down a little and
muttered only: “You will never get away with this.”
“Holy cliché!!” exclaimed Darby and tied Sherry’s ankles with a coil of rope.
After making Sherry completely immobile Darby untied the bandanna from her neck,
tied a big knot in the middle of it and said: “You know what this is for, don’t
you? Are you so considerate to all your kidnappers or is it just me?” She
laughed and then stuffed the knot into Sherry’s mouth and tied the scarf behind
her head very tightly.
“Okay girls, now stay here, I am going for the car I stole earlier today. I’ll
be back in a minute and then we take a nice ride which you will certainly
enjoy.”
She turned off the lights, locked the door and left both girls in darkness.
Immediately Sherry and Lucy found each other in the dark and started to work on
loosening their bonds but it was rather complicated because they could not see a
thing and so when Darby returned they did not make any progress.

At 10 pm the stolen car driven by Darby stopped at the top of the high and steep
slope. Darby got out and opened the trunk. Sherry and Lucy still bound and
gagged were stuffed inside. Darby pulled them out.
“Do you recognize this place?”
Sherry saw the reflection of the moon on the water surface underneath them. They
must have been at the Bakersfield Lake, two miles from the town.
“Do you guess what terrible fate I have prepared for you? I will put you on the
front seats, release the brake, push it from the slope and then watch my
triumph. It would be more logical to leave you two in the trunk so that there is
no chance of your escape but I want you to enjoy your last minutes as much as I
will.”
Terrified Sherry and Lucy started to yell through their gags. It only made Darby
laugh.

Five minutes later Darby was standing on the same spot and watching the car
hurtle down into the darkness underneath her. The lake was deep. This time those
two snoopers won’t outsmart her.
And she was right. After two minutes ride the car fell down to the lake and
slowly sank.
“Good bye my worst friend.” said triumphant Darby and opened the bottle of wine
which she stole for this special occasion.


Chapter IV: Revenge, Sweet Revenge

Sherry still with the gag in her mouth and Lucy who was still bound and silenced
watched the car fall into the deep dark waters of the Bakersfield Lake as well.
They got out of it in the very last moment and now they were both lying on the
edge of the cliff exhausted and still could not believe they made it.

How did they manage to escape? After the last case which almost ended unhappily
for them on the railroad tracks, Sherry decided she must be better prepared and
she bought two leather bracelets and hid a small razor under each of them. When
they were tied up in the car she managed to pull out one of the razors with her
fingers and started cutting the ropes. Immediately after Darby pushed the car
down from the cliff she succeeded and the she cut the ropes on the legs as well,
opened the door and dragged tied up Lucy out of the moving car. Everything
happened so incredibly quick and seemed so impossible that they still could not
believe how lucky they were.

After Sherry took her gag off, she quickly untied Lucy’s bonds and said:
“Quickly we have to go back and surprise her. We will go through this forest so
that she would not notice us. Take the ropes with you.”

 

“Do you see her, Sherry?” whispered Lucy when they climbed back on the top of
the slope.

“No, I guess she’s gone.”

“What shall we do?”

“Well there are two possibilities. Either she is walking back to Bakersfield now
or she will try to steal a vehicle and run away.”

“Where would she find any car to steal? We are in the middle of nowhere.”

“Not completely. There is a secluded house in the woods. It belongs to the
family of our classmate Charlie Lane.”

“There is still a chance that she had a motorbike hidden here or one of those
crooks from the teahouse came to pick her up.”

“That’s true but at least we can call the police from Charlie’s house. Let’s go,
it isn’t far.”

 

The big silhouette of a house appeared in front of them. They clearly saw the
light in one of the ground-floor windows.

“Careful now, if Darby is in there, we mustn’t alert her.”

They prowled to the lighting window and peeked inside. They saw their friend
Charlie in a silk nightie. She was tied to a chair with duct tape and her mouth
was taped as well. She was crying and trying to struggle.

Suddenly Darby appeared in their view. She was telling something to Charlie.
Lucy and Sherry did not understand everything she said but from what they heard
they figured out that Darby has just found the car keys and was leaving. They
decided to act. Each of them took a piece of rope which they were carrying and
stood right next to the door, each from one side. They were waiting there for
several minutes when the door opened and Darby appeared. As soon as she stepped
out of the house they jumped at her and the struggle began. Darby wanted to
reach for her gun but Sherry grabbed her hands while Lucy took the gun from the
pocket of Darby’s jacket and aimed it at her.

“Stop struggling!” Lucy shouted. Darby kicked the gun from her hand and it fell
down on the ground.
 Darby was way stronger then they had expeced and a trained fighter. She gave
Sherry a hard kick in the gut which made her fall to the floor. 
Lucy attempted to push her against the wall. However Darby replied with a
vicious punch to her belly, which made her gasp for air.
Sherry got back to her feet and came at Darby sending a hard sidekick towards
her chest.
Darby deftly avoided the kick and threw her to the floor. The two girls ended up
struggling but the vile criminal straddled her chest and pinned her arms under
her knees.
As Sherry was unable to move Darby pressed hard over her mouth and pinched her
nose shut with her index finger and thumb, starting to smother her. 
“Perhaps better to kill you with my bare hands anyway, Darby said as she looked
down with a cruel smile on her face.
As Sherry was about to pass out Lucy got back to her feet and hit Darby with the
gun on her head.
Stunned Darby let go and Sherry gasped for air. 
Both girls knocked her down on the porch and started to tie her up. After a
little while Darby was bound but still wiggling and cursing Sherry and Lucy.

“Who’s laughing now, Darby?”

“I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you both.”

“You will never learn, won’t you? We are not easy to kill. I think we should
shut her up, Lucy. What do you think?”

“I think so too, Sherry. A nice tight, very tight, gag between those cheeky lips
should do it.”

Sherry then untied the knotted bandanna which was still hanging around her neck
and put the knot in Darby’s protesting mouth and tied three very tight knots
behind her head. Now their nemesis was completely helpless.

“You know Darby,” smiled Sherry. “You’ve always reminded me of a transvestite I
used to know.” She and Lucy started to laugh while Darby made an angry grunt and
looked daggers at them. She has never been so insulted in her life. She has
always considered herself as the most beautiful girl in the world and the
comparison to a transvestite was worse than the vision of more years in prison
that were ahead of her.

The girls dragged the struggling villain to the house, left her on the floor.
Sherry was watching her with the gun while Lucy went to free Charlie and call
the police.

 

The police arrived ten minutes later. Darby was arrested and when the gag was
taken off she started to swear and curse all of them.

“This is not how a young lady should talk,” said an older policewoman and put
the gag back in Darby’s mouth while escorting the prisoner into the car.

During the same night a raid was made in the Japanese teahouse and many drug and
weapon dealers were arrested as well.

And our fearless detective Sherry Rathbone and her brave friend Lucy Baker made
Bakersfield a safer place again :-) :-)
