A Tough Lesson

Pro
logue

It was 5 oclock in the afternoon, and the school was almost empty. The
Principal walked along the corridor to his office. He opened the door and looked
inside. A young girl was sitting on the chair in front of his desk. She had long
brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing a white tank top and a pair of short
blue jeans. A backpack lied on the floor near the chair. 
Good evening, Miss Turner said the Principal while walking to his desk. 
Good evening replied the girl nervously. The man sat on the chair behind the
desk. 
So, it seems youve done it again Im coming now from the infirmary. Mister
Jones is fine, but what has he done to deserve that? 
He was teasing us, me and my friend Kate replied the girl He always does it!
I couldnt stand it anymore, so I taught him a lesson, but I didnt go hard on
him. I just threw him a couple of kicks 
A couple of kicks? Come on, Miss Turner, Ive seen the bruises! You cannot beat
the hell out of anybody who makes you angry!
Im sorry! said the girl. 
I hope you are. You should go to that guy and apologize. 
What? Apologize to that bastard? He doesnt deserve that! 
The Principal gave her a firm glance. If I were you, I would do what Im
telling you. I wouldnt like to be forced to call your dad 
But she paused for a couple of seconds yes sir..: 
The man looked at her for a while then he said: Good. You can go now. And I
hope you will learn to behave. 
Yes sir said the girl, grabbing her backpack and walking out of the room. She
closed the door behind her. Jerk she said walking to the exit.

Jill! Wait for me! 
Kate! Are you still here? another girl appeared, panting. She apparently was
the same age of Jill, mid long blond hair, blue eyes. She was wearing an azure
top and a mini skirt of the same colour. What did the principal say? Kate
asked.
He told me to apologize to Harry replied Jill. 
And are you going to 
Of course no! Im going to kick his ass again if he comes near us! said Jill
with rage. Since the year started, he kept doing those comments about us. Well,
this time he got what he deserved and maybe next time he will think twice before
calling us that way. 
Im not so sure about that said Kate looking behind Jills back. A young boy
of about sixteen years old was walking toward them. He seemed very angry. 
Jill! My father will make you pay for what you have done! 
Oh its you again, how are your bruises? said the girl with a grin. The boy
grew angrier. 
Do you think a brat like you can hurt me? Youve a lot to learn. 
Jill took a step and Harry froze in place. 
Come on said Kate, grabbing Jills arm thats what he wants. Lets go and
leave him here. 
Maybe youre right replied Jill He still can go crying to his father lawyer.
Pathetic 
What did you say? 
I suppose youre too dumb to understand, but Im not in the mood for repeating
things, so go to hell! 
Both girls didnt realised someone was coming behind their backs. 
Ill teach you a lesson, you spoiled brat! cried Harry. 
Well, hearing you calling someone else spoiled makes me laugh. said Jill If
youre done, Id like to go home, Im tired and Id rather going to sleep than
listening to your pathetic speeches. 
Harry grinned. If its that what you want 
Suddenly Jill realised something was wrong. She quickly turned around just to
see a fist coming directly to her face. She felt something like an explosion,
then she saw stars and slumped to the floor and the last thing she heard before
passing out was Kate screaming her name.


Chapter 1

As she opened her eyes, the girl found herself lying on the bed of the school
infirmary. The nurse was rubbing a wet cotton under her nose. Kate was standing
near her with tears in her eyes. 
Welcome back, Jill said the nurse. Your friend here was very concerned about
you, she doesnt stop crying. 
W-what happened? asked the girl weakly. 
Youve just had a close encounter with Ted Tannens fist. 
Ted Tannen? Jill asked Isnt he that big guy who often hangs with Harry? 
Yes, that coward. Hitting a little girl like you but now the Principal is
taking care of those two boys. 
Then the nurse turned to Kate Her nose is still bleeding a bit, so could you
keep the cotton under it? Im afraid I have to go, Ive worked beyond my working
time thanks to you and your friends she said smiling. 
Oh dont worry replied Jill grabbing the cotton I can do it. I will be fine,
thank you. 
All right, have a nice evening then said the nurse as she walked out. 
Are you all right Jill? asked Kate. 
My head hurts, but Im fine. When Ill find those two, Im gonna 
Stop it! shouted Kate Dont get into trouble again! They knocked you
unconscious! The Principal is going to punish them, so please 
Ok, ok please dont cry said Jill stroking Kates face. 
The girl looked at her watch. Oh no! Its too late! My parents are going to
kill me! 
Better go then said Jill trying to sit up Ouch! the girl fell again to the
bed. 
Jill! Are you alright? 
My head I still need to rest a bit. Go, Kate, Ill stay here for a couple of
minutes and then Ill go, too 
But 
Just go, I dont want to be responsible for your death by the hand of your
parents said the girl smiling. 
O-ok, thank you Jill 
See you tomorrow! Jill lied on the bed, keeping the wet cotton under her nose.
Damn those two jerks it hurts thought the girl while closing her eyes.

Damn! I fell asleep! Jill quickly sat up on the bed. How long did I sleep? 
She looked at the window. It was dark outside. Jill thought she was lucky her
father had to work at the hospital that evening or else she would have killed
her. She quickly grabbed her backpack and walked out of the infirmary. 
But when she arrived at the front door, she found it locked. Oh no! I have to
find another way She tried another exit, but with the same result. Well, I
guess Ill have to use a window 
She reached a window and opened it. At least this one isnt locked. Jill was
about to climb over the window, when suddenly she heard a noise coming from a
corridor. Someone was coming. The girl reached a corner and sat down, hiding
herself in the shadow. Two figures were walking along the corridor. As they
passed near the windows, the light of the moon illuminated their face. One of
them was a young man, in his early twenties, with short black hair, the other
one was a woman, whom Jill knew very well. Miss Grisham the girl had
recognized her as one of her teachers, the Chemistry one. She was a tall woman,
of about 35 years old, with brown hair and black eyes. What the hell is she
doing here at this hour? 
Though she was a little scared, her curiosity was too strong, so instead of
jumping out of the window and running home, she decided to follow them. She left
her backpack behind and started to walk through the alley, until she reached the
stairs. She heard the sound of their steps : they were in the basement of the
school. 

With a bit of hesitation, she went down the stairs and she saw them entering the
boiler room. Her heart was beating very fast. For a second she thought that
going back was the best thing to do, but then she took a breath and approached
to the boiler rooms door. Miss Grisham and the young man were inside talking
about something, but Jill couldnt hear them very well. She almost wasnt
breathing. She took a peek inside the room. Miss Grisham had opened a suitcase
and was giving some packages to the young man. 
Thats it for now said Miss Grisham closing the suitcase. You have enough
stuff, Todd. Make a good use of it. 
Dont worry, maam. Kids are always happy to buy it replied Todd. 
What the hell are they talking about? wondered Jill. 
By the way said Miss Grisham isnt Jeffrey coming? 
He was phoning to his girlfriend, they had a quarrel, but I think he should
join us now. 
Hearing this Jill realised to be in danger, but it was too late. Someone grabbed
her, clamping a hand over her mouth. She tried to fight, but her attacker seemed
to strong. 
Guys, look what we have here! The guy opened the door and threw Jill inside
the room. The girl fell on the floor as the young man closed the door behind
him.

Who the hell is she? asked Todd. 
I dont know, but she was spying you replied Jeffrey. 
Her name is Jill Turner said Miss Grisham she is a student of this school, a
good one, but too nosey for my taste 
W-what are doing here? asked Jill with a scared tone of voice as she was
getting up. 
This is none of your business replied Todd approaching to her what exactly
did you hear? He raised a hand to touch her. 
Keep your hands off me! screamed the girl. 
Todd tried to grab her, but the girl hit him with a powerful kick in the belly,
sending him to the floor. She turned to Jeffrey, but he was already on her and
grabbed her arm. Let me go! Jill was fighting like a wild cat, but Jeffrey
didnt seem to loose his grip on her. Todd got up and helped his partner to hold
the little girl. Miss Grisham watched the scene smiling. 
She can be a true pain in the ass. I think its time to teach her how to
behave. Hold her still 
Jill watched her opening her bag and picking up a brown bottle and a cloth. 
W-what is that? 
Something to calm you down. You should know it, we have studied it, or wasnt
you paying attention? 
She opened the bottle and made Jill sniff its content. The girl smelled
something strong and sweet which made her head shake to try to avoid sniffing
it. 
Its chloroform, young lady, a chemical created to deal with nosey kids like
you! 
Are you crazy? cried Jill struggling against the two young men who were
keeping her still Let me go! Now! 
Shut her up! ordered the woman. 
Jeffrey clamped his hand over the girls mouth. Meanwhile Miss Grisham poured a
little amount of the liquid on the cloth. 
Its time for a short nap, little brat. Hold her still. 
The woman brought the wet cloth closer to the girls nose. Jill tried to pull
away her head, but Jeffrey and Todd had a powerful grip on her. 
Now, be a good girl and breathe this. It will make you relax and go to sleep. 
Jill tried to resist, but soon became dizzy and felt her muscles relaxing. Todd
and Jeffrey helped her sit down when her legs couldnt hold her anymore. Miss
Grisham pulled the cloth away and looked at the half conscious girl. 
Ive always wanted to do this. You know, school teachers should be allowed to
use these methods for rebellious students like you. Now tell me what you heard
while you were snooping around 
N-nothing replied Jill weakly. Let me go 
Im afraid I cant do that. Besides you shouldnt lie to a teacher, little
girl. Now Ill be forced to completely knock you out and tie you up. 
Youre insane moaned the frightened girl. 
Before she could add anything else, the wet cloth was clamped again under her
nose. She took a couple of breath, watching Miss Grisham smiling at her, while
everything around her was becoming blurry. The woman enjoyed watching Jills
eyes fluttering, rolling up, closing and her body going limp to the floor. To be
sure she was really unconscious she held the cloth on her face for another
thirty seconds. 
Good, shes out. Todd, go get some rope. I want to prevent this pest from doing
anything stupid when she will wake up. 
Yes, Maam said the young man walking out of the room. 
Jeffrey looked at the unconscious girl. We have a big problem now 
I know said Miss Grisham well well have to deal with it, then. This little
girl has been curious too curious and this wont make any good to her


Chapter 2

Heres the rope said Todd as he walked inside the boiler room.
Good, tie her up, boys. 
Todd and Jeffrey proceeded to drag the sleeping girl to a corner and to tie her
wrists and ankles. 
Bind her knees together, too said Miss Grisham 
With pleasure replied Jeffrey with a smile. 
Now, what do we do with her? asked Todd after finishing binding her. 
We cant let her go. She saw our faces and what we were doing. In short she
knows too much 
So? asked Jeffrey what kind of options we have? You wont mean to 
One thing is sure. We cannot leave her here. 
Then where do you plan to take her? 
Todd, hasnt your family a lodge in the wood? 
Yes, we have replied Todd But I have to go home to take the keys 
Ok, I shall accompany you since you dont have a car said the woman.
Its not my fault the cops took my driving license, that biker came out of
nowhere! 
Yeah, right anyway lets go. Jeffrey, stay here and keep an eye on the young
lady. And by the way Miss Grisham picked up a cloth and proceeded to gag Jill.
This will keep her quite, at least I hope then she took the bottle of
chloroform and gave it to Jeffrey If she becomes too noisy, just send her again
to the dreamlands 
Right maam replied Jeffrey smiling. 
Miss Grisham and Todd walked away and Jeffrey sat on the floor admiring the poor
girl, bound and gagged.

After a while Jill began to stir. Her head ached a bit and she was still dizzy.
She realised to be bound and gagged. Then she saw Jeffrey who was looking at
her. 
Glad you woke up, little one. Are you all right? 
The girl sat up, trying to find a way to free herself. She looked at the young
man. He was no more than twenty years old, he had blue eyes, and long dark
blonde hair, tied behind his head. Jill could have found him very cute if the
situation had been different. 
Now listen to me, you have a choice to make. You can stay calm and still until
Miss Grisham and Todd are back and anything bad will happen to you he got up
and approached to her. On the contrary, if you become a problem, trying any
tricks or making too much noise, this is what awaits you he opened the bottle
of chloroform and put it under her nose. 
The girl moaned and pulled her head away trying not to smell the chemical. Of
course also if you get bored, I can put you to sleep again. What do you say? You
want me to turn out the lights? Jill shook her head Then you are going to stay
calm, ok? 
The girl nodded. Jeffrey pulled the bottle away from her face and closed it.
Since you promised to be a good girl I dont see anything bad in taking off the
gag from your mouth. What do you think about it? 
Jill nodded. Good, Im going to remove it, but dont disappoint me or Ill put
another gag on your face a sweet smelling gag... Have I explained myself? 
The girl nodded again, and Jeffrey proceeded to remove the cloth from her mouth.
Are you feeling better? 
Jill didnt answer 
Miss Grisham has a point when she says you dont know how to behave. Im just
trying to be kind, so please dont make me angry, or youre going back to sleep,
understand? 
Im fine, thank you said the girl nervously 
Thats better 
They remained silent for a couple of minutes then Jill asked W-what are you
going to do with me? 
Jeffrey looked at her without answering. The girl became more agitated. Are you
going to kill me? asked the girl almost sobbing. 
The young man approached to her and started to brush her hair and stroke her
face. Now, calm down. Dont be afraid. Everything will be fine. 
Jill was about to start to cry, but she didnt want to do it in front of him.

Come on! She is fifteen. I know she is pretty, but dont you think she is a bit
young for you? Miss Grisham and Todd had just entered the room. 
I was just calming her down. She is frightened, you know. 
She has a reason to be scared. Next time she wont be so curious if there will
ever be a next time right Jill? 
Go to hell!! cried the girl Youre going to jail, you know?
Miss Grisham shook her head. Youre hopeless. Guys, knock her out, its time to
go and I dont want to hear this pests voice for a while. 
Yes maam said Jeffrey approaching to the tied girl who was squirming. 
Dont come any closer! screamed the girl.
Its late and little girls like you should be asleep, so let me fix that said
Jeffrey pouring a bit of chloroform on the cloth. Please Todd, could you gag
her?
Todd smiled, and took another cloth. 
Jill was panicking. No! Stay away from me Mmmmmh! she couldnt add anything
else, because the cloth was forced into her mouth. Jeff kneeled over her and,
holding her head with a hand, he clamped the sweet smelling cloth under her
nose. 
Todd, this girl cant breathe very well, could you please push her stomach to
help her? 
The young man did what he had been told, and Jill was forced to inhale the
powerful drug. Soon her head was spinning and her struggle became weaker and
weaker, until she closed her eyes and passed out. 
Jeffrey carried her over his shoulder out of the school to Miss Grishams car.
To woman opened the trunk and Jeffrey put the unconscious girl inside. Then he
opened the bottle of chloroform again and poured a large amount of the liquid on
the cloth he had just used to knock Jill out. 
What are you doing? asked Miss Grisham Just making sure she wont wake up for
a long time
He put the wet smelling cloth close to Jills face and closed the trunk. This
will keep her quite during the trip 
Tell me the truth, Jeffrey said Miss Grisham all this knock out stuff
youre starting to like it 
Lets go before another nosey kid arrives said Jeffrey with a grin. 
The three kidnappers got in the vehicle and the car disappeared in the shadows
of the night.


Chapter 3

When Jeffrey opened the car trunk, a strong smell of chloroform came out. Jill
was lying in the same position he had left her. Her eyes were closed and she was
breathing regularly. 
Is she all right? asked Miss Grisham. 
I suppose so replied Jeffrey pulling the sleeping girl out of the trunk But
she needs fresh air 
Well, she will be able to get all the fresh air she wants because we have to
walk for a while before reaching the lodge said Todd My parents dont want to
be bothered when they go on holyday, thats why they bought that isolated house
in the woods 
Better for us replied the woman It will be very difficult for the police to
find this girl. Lets go. 
Jeffrey carried Jill over his shoulder as he and the other two started to walk
in the woods toward the lodge, illuminating the dark path with flashlights.
During the trip, the girl started to wake up. She was really dizzy for having
been closed in a trunk for about an hour with the only company of a cloth
reeking of chloroform. She left out a faint moan through the gag. 
It seems our little princess is awake said Miss Grisham Put her down and
untie her legs. She can walk all by herself now 
I have no problem carrying her 
Yes, I know, but she doesnt deserve to be carried since she was such a pest. 
Jeffrey had her sit on a rock and proceeded to untie her legs. 
Come on, were almost there said the young man helping her to get up. 
Jill thought that with her legs free, she could have kicked her captors, but she
was too weak. She also had problems to stand up and fell on her knees a couple
of times before reaching the lodge and Jeffrey had to help her to get up again.
The lodge had two floors and was made of rock and wood. Jill would have found it
beautiful in one other occasion. After Todd had opened the door the three
captors entered the house with their prey. The light wasnt functioning, so they
had to keep their flashlights on. 
Take her to bed, and tie her up again ordered Miss Grisham. 
Jeffrey led Jill up to the stairs to a room with a bed. The girl was really
exhausted and felt as she was about to faint. 
Just one more minutes and you will able to sleep peacefully Jeffrey took the
rope and bound her ankles and knees again. 
Sweet dreams, princess he said before walking out the room. 
As he close the door darkness engulfed the frightened girl. What are they going
to me? she thought Ive got to figure out a way to escape, or things will be
bad for me, but Im so tired 
Slowly her eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep.


Chapter 4

Is she still sleeping? asked Todd.
Yes, she is replied Jeffrey there is nothing to surprised though. With all
the drugs we gave her last night I wouldnt be surprised if she would sleep for
all the day.
Todd opened the door of the room where Jill was resting and he took a peek
inside. Why did you untie her? he whispered.
Just to make her more comfortable. Her muscles needed to relax a bit.
Are you crazy?? Have you seen how she can fight?
Actually I saw how she can kick YOU. I have no problem with that, trust me.
Well maybe, but I dont want to stay here waiting her to wake up and start
throwing kicks to whatever moves!
Then go down and prepare lunch. Ill stay here to guard her. Dont worry, I can
handle her.
As you wish, Jeff I hope Miss Grisham will be back soon, so we will take care
of this little snooper.
Jeffrey gave him an intimidatory look. Take care of her? How? You want to kill
a fifteen years old girl?
Well, I dont want to go to jail for this brats curiosity! Everything was
going fine before last night. But no! She had to play Jessica Fletcher!
Nancy Drew...
What?
She is fifteen! She can play Nancy Drew, not Jessica Fletcher. Besides, no one
has died yet. Wherever Jessica Fletcher goes there is a dead body
Yeah, right she will be the dead body soon.
Bravo! Keep talking about killing a young girl. Then what? How do you plan to
get rid of the body?
Miss Grisham will certainly know how to deal with this situation!
Yes of course go prepare lunch now. Ill take care of this really dangerous
threat which is sleeping in this room, waiting to get up and kick our asses
Go to hell said Todd going down to the kitchen. 
He stopped on the stairs and said: By the way, theres a window inside that
room. I think that brat could be capable of jumping down even if we are at the
second floor.
Who do you think I am? When I untied her, I put a padlock on it.
Good! It seems you always think about everything! said Todd walking away.
Idiot thought Jeffrey.
He took a peek inside the room. Jill was still asleep. 
Poor girl Im almost sorry for her he thought closing the door almost

Mmmmh where am I? the girl opened her eyes and looked around. Her vision was
still blurry and she had trouble to remember what happened. 
Mmmmh Im a bit too young to have got drunk yesterdaywhat happened I was at
school then It wasnt a nightmare! Those criminals brought me here Have to
escape now! 
She got up quickly but she felt her head spinning, so she had to sit down on the
bed. Damn they knocked me out with chloroform twice at least just let me
recover and then, if I put my hand on them Im going to send them directly to
the hospital!
At that point she heard the door being unlocked and Jeffrey entered the room.
Im glad to see youre awake. You have slept for hours. Its almost noon.
Jill got up. Her head was hurting a bit less. Get out of my way she said.
What? Now, calm down. You wouldnt
GET OUT OF MY WAY !!!
The girl took a step forward and tried to hit Jeffrey with a kick, but the young
man dodge it. She was furious and threw several blows to him, but, with her big
surprise, he was able to dodge and parry all of them. She tried to elude him and
flee out of the door, but Jeff was too fast and managed to grab her. He put his
right arm around her neck, while he pinned her arms to her body with the other
one. He squeezed her neck for a couple of second then he let her breathe without
letting his grip.
Not a chance, brat. I hope you dont think to be the only one to know how to
fight.
Jill was fighting like a wild animal to free herself, but the young man was too
strong and he was punishing her struggling squeezing her throat.
What the hell is happening here? shouted Todd rushing into the room.
Oh, nothing. Just doing some physic exercise
I told you it was a bad idea to untie her!
Bad idea? I have everything under control, so go back to the kitchen and bring
food, I think this girl need to recover her strength
If you say so said Todd walking away.
So, dont you surrender yet? I wouldnt like to accidentally choke you.
Jill started to feeling faint. Let me go uhnnnnn 
As you wish said Jeff letting her go.
She fell on her knees coughing. Her already little strength had almost abandoned
her. Jeff helped her to get up and to sit down on the bed.
You shouldnt do these things Said Jeffrey, stroking her head Now Todd will
bring here some food to help you recover.
Dont touch me! said Jill weakly, trying to pull Jeffreys arm away.
How rude. Im just trying to be nice

Just throw her a punch and send her back to the dreamlands said Todd entering
the room carrying a server with food and drinks.
You dont know how to treat a lady. Thats why you dont have a girlfriend
replied Todd.
Shut up! You dont know anything about me!
So, do you have one?
Todd didnt answer.
I thought so said Jeffrey with a grin.
Look whos talking! Werent you the one who was quarrelling with his girlfriend
last night?
Well thats her fault. She has no sense of humour.
What did you do to her?
Oh, nothing. I played with her yesterday using a special spray. When she woke
up, she was all tied up and I was gone.
Todd showed to him a very surprised look.
Ew shouted Jill youre one of those guys who like to put people to sleep and
tie them!
Jeffrey smiled at her.
You pervert! What did you do to me when I was asleep??
Dont be concerned! Im a gentlemen and I wouldnt ever take advantage of a
sweet lady like you. Besides youre a bit too childish for me.
I suggest you disappear from my sight! Or Im going to
Suddenly Todd get furious and grabbed Jills arm. Now listen to me, you brat!
Youre pissing me off, and this is not good for you, underst OUCH!
The girl hit him in the shin bone with a kick. Then she got up and punched him
in the face. Todd fell on the floor.
I told you not to touch me!
OW! You little &/+%!
Jeff got up and pushed Jill to the bed. Being still weak, the girl fell on it,
panting. 
Calm down, girl. Youre too agitated, and this wont make any good for you.
Todd got up aching. Youre gonna pay for this!
He tried to attack her, but Jeffrey grabbed him and held him still.
Let me go, Jeff! Im going to destroy her!
Calm down you, too! You both should take a sedative! Come on, lets go down and
leave this girl eating in peace! he said dragging Todd out of the room.
Why do you protect her? cried the young man.
Im not protecting HER. Im protecting YOU from her! replied Jeffrey locking
the door.
Jill remained sit on the bed. She felt very weak and was still panting. She
wouldnt ever have admitted, but she was relieved about the fact Jeffrey had
taken Todd away. That guy seemed very furious and capable of anything. She
wasnt sure to be able to deal with him.
She looked at the food: a couple of sandwiches and a coke. She was very hungry,
but she feared they had drugged the food, so she remained still for a short
time. Then her hunger won the battle and she started to eat.
Mmh, thats better she thought but I must find a way out before that witch
comes back, or Ill be in serious troubles.

Jill began to search the room, trying to find a way out. There was only an old
closet beside the bed in the room, but it was empty. Both the door and window
were locked. That would have been too easy If only I had something to force
them!
Then she had an idea. Maybe if I could get a hairgrip
She approached the door and started to make noise. Hey, you two! Come here
please!
Soon she heard footsteps and the door was opened. 
Can I be of any services to you, young lady? said Jeffrey with a smile.
I need to go to the bathroom she said with an innocent voice.
Well, I suppose I could let you go, but you have to promise me to be a very
good girl
I promise!
Mmmmh why are you so cooperative all of a sudden?
Well, I thought its useless to resist, you are too strong for me. So I decided
to behave and to make thing easier for you three
Girl I met you only last night, but dont think you can fool me. I think you
are a smart girl and you are up to something
Please! I really need to go to the bathroom! I promise I wont make any tricks,
but, please, let me go! Please!
Ok ok! Just shut up and go! But Im going to take a close look on you. Please,
this way.
Jeffrey led Jill to the bathroom which was situated on the same floor. He opened
the door and let the girl enter.
I suppose you want me to close the door, right child?
That would be nice!
He stared at her.
Hey I cant do anything bad said the girl This room has no windows, so I
cannot escape. You dont have to be concerned about that.
Jeffrey kept looking at her and he grinned.
Very well, Im going to close it. Take all the time you need
Thank you! she said with a smile.
Jeffrey closed the door. 

After a while Todd came up to the stairs and asked: What are you doing?
Oh, nothing. The lady needed the bathroom
And why arent you watching her?
Because thats not polite. She needs her privacy
Youre spoiling her
Think what you want
Im ok now! said the girl from the inside of the bathroom.
Jeffrey let her come out. Then he took a peek inside the room. I hope you have
found anything you needed he said with a smile.
Jill looked at him nervously yes, I have she had this feeling Jeffrey was
suspecting something.
I think its better to search on her just to make sure she hasnt taken
anything said Todd.
Jill turned to him and assumed a fighting pose Just try!
Todd didnt move. He looked at Jeffrey waiting for something.
It was your idea said Jeffrey. You can do it if you want. Im not stopping
you. Not me at least
You but Todd didnt finish the sentence and he just walked away.
Jill watched him going away, not realising Jeffrey was approaching to her. The
young man grabbed her. Hey! What are you doing?.
Come on, be still! said Jeffrey to the squirming girl Todd has a point, and I
need to check on you. Luckily youre wearing just these jeans and this tank top,
so it will be a quick thing.
Let me go, you pervert!
Pervert? You are offending me! Saying so, he grubbed in her pocket finding the
hairgrip she had taken from the bathroom.
Sorry girl Nice try
She gave him a furious glance.
Now, its time to go back to your room. This way!
Not letting her arms go, he dragged her to the bedroom and pushed her inside.
Then he locked the door. See you later, little one.
Jill heard him walking away. She brought a hand to her mouth and took off
another hairgrip. 
Jerk she thought grinning.

Chapter 5

When Miss Grisham entered the lodge, she found the two young men in the living
room. Jeffrey was reading a book, while Todd was sitting on a couch with a bored
expression. Since the power in the house was off, he couldnt watch TV.
At last youre here, Miss Grisham said Todd the babysitter job is not for
me
Where is our little spy? asked the woman.
She is locked in the bedroom where she has slept replied Jeffrey.
Good. The cops are already looking for her. It seems her father hasnt lost
time. If I had a daughter like that one, I would be happy that someone kidnapped
her
He is a doctor said Jeffrey grinning he probably uses chloroform or other
drugs on her when she is too annoying
Very funny. But now we have to decide how to take care of her
Havent you decided yet?
Yes I have, but we need to plan it very carefully. We dont want to be charged
of murderer, do we?
So, do you really plan to
kill the little snooper? Of course! We dont have any other choice! That brat
will report us to the police and they will discover our little drug dealing
affairs.
She wont have any proof. Nobody will believe her.
You really think so? We will be forced to stop our business anyway and the boss
wont be pleased at all!
But
Now stop it Jeffrey. If you have a better solution, you can tell me about it,
but Im sure you havent one, so just shut up and listen to me!
The young man look at her but didnt answer.
Heres what we will do. We will bring her deep in the woods, where no one will
ever look for her.
And then? asked Todd.
And then I will teach her my last lesson: she took off a silenced gun from
her handbag Curiosity is a bad thing
Where did you find that? asked Todd.
The boss gave it to me. Its an unregistered one. Even if they will find the
body, the cops wont be able to find us
Thats great. I want to see if she will be that defiant with a gun pointed on
her cute face said Todd laughing.
Of course said Jeffrey you need a gun to play the big scary guy with a
fifteen years old girl
Shut up!
Im just curious. When you go to the park, do you always bring a bazooka with
you? You know all that little children playing around are so scary
Would you shut your mouth, you idiot? Im tired of you! Shut up or
or what? You want to fight me? Be careful, I could call my thirteen years old
cousin to beat you
ENOUGH YOU TWO! shouted Miss Grisham We have a job to do. Now, Todd, fetch a
couple of shovels.
Shovels? asked Todd What do you need them to?
Try to guess said Jeffrey perhaps she wants to plant some flowers in your
garden which seems a bit too plantless to me or she wants to use them to bury
your biggest nightmare after taking care of her
Jeff, would you please stop your sarcasm? asked Miss Grisham Go Todd, now
Todd was really angry, but left the room without saying a word.
Seriously asked Jeffrey where did you find a jackass like that one?
Please! We dont have too much time. Now Jeff, go to the bedroom and untie the
little pests legs.
Well thats already done. Perhaps you want me to bind her wrist instead
What? You untied her? Are you stupid or what?
Dont worry, I took all the precautions I needed.
I hope so! Then, go and tie her wrist behind her back. Tell her were going to
release her, but we need to take her a bit far to the city so we will have the
time to escape.
What a pathetic lie
Its just to calm her down a bit.
And I suppose when she will see Todd carrying two shovels, she wont have any
suspects
Just do it. Dont be so concerned about it. I will be the one to pull the
trigger. You wont commit any murder.
Wow, now Im relieved
Jeff, I like you, but not youre sarcasm, so please, follow my orders now
yes, madam replied the young man, heading to the bedroom.

Jill heard footsteps coming to the room. She quickly stopped to do what she was
doing and sat on the bed. Jeffrey approached to the door. Before entering, he
stopped and listened. Everything was calm and he couldnt hear any noises coming
from the room. He unlocked the door and opened it. Jill was sitting on the bed
and was looking at him. As soon as she saw the ropes he was carrying, she became
concerned.
Are you here to tie me up?
Im afraid I am.
Why? Dont you trust me anymore?
Ive never trusted you. I just wanted to make you feel more comfortable. But
now its time for a walk in the woods.
A walk? W-where are we going?
Youll find out soon. Dont worry, Im just going to tie your wrist. Youll be
able to walk
Suddenly his voice had become calm and passionless. He seemed different from
before. Jill felt something wasnt right. She began to be very frightened. 
P-please tell me w-what are going to d-do with me!
I cant tell you Now, be a good girl and come here. I wont hurt you.
Jeffrey noticed how the girl was scared. She was nearly starting to cry. He knew
she wouldnt have done it just because of her pride. She didnt want to give
that satisfaction to her captors.
Come on, Jill. Dont make it harder. 
He approached and sat near the frightened girl. She knew she couldnt react
since he was too strong. She was feeling helpless, and totally in his hands.
When he put a hand on her naked shoulder, she almost jumped. 
Calm down, little girl. Give me your arms. I promise I wont tie you too tight
She complied silently. While Jeffrey was binding her wrists, she looked at
window. The padlock was gone. The hairgrip had functioned perfectly, but what if
the young man would have realised it? She had to distract him.
You wont let me go, will you?
Jeffrey didnt answer.
Answer me!
Dont think about it
But mmmh
He clamped his hand on her mouth. She didnt put a great resistance.
Dont cry he whispered to her ear Tough girls like you dont cry. Instead
they try to find a way out. Remember, until you live, there is always hope
He felt she had calmed down, so he pull the hand away from her mouth. Her wrist
were bound behind her back, so he got up and turned at her. Were leaving in a
while, so be prepared. He said brushing her hairs. He was about to leave the
room when his eyes seemed to notice something and he stopped to look at
something in the direction of the window. Jill felt her strength leaving her,
she knew she had been discovered and her only hope was about to disappear. But
after a couple of seconds, Jeffrey turned to the exit and walked away, locking
the door.
Is it possible? He hasnt realised it? the girl was a bit surprised, but soon
she remembered to be in danger. Theyre going to kill me! I must escape now!
She headed to the window and managed to open it even with her hands tied behind.
She looked down. It wasnt such a high jump, but still she was a bit
preoccupied. What if I break one of my legs? It will be the end for me but
this is my only way out come on, Jill! That witch is going to kill you if you
dont jump now 123!!!
She landed on the ground with a low thud. Ouch! She managed to get up. Good,
my legs seem fine. Have to find a way to cut these ropes, but first its better
run.
Not knowing the way to get out of the woods, the girl begun to run in a random
direction.

Did you take care of the brat? asked Miss Grisham to Jeffrey as he returned to
the living room.
Yes I did, she is tied and ready to go
Did you reassure her?
Of course. She thinks she will be free soon said Jeffrey lying but she is a
smart girl, I dont think we will be able to fool her for a long time
Thats not a problem. The journey wont last too much. After having found a
good spot, Ill finish her in a second. She wont even realise it and she wont
suffer said the woman, checking her gun.
Can I see that? asked Jeffrey.
Of course. Are you a firearms expert? replied the woman giving him the weapon.
Well, lets just say I like them. And this is a very good model. The boss must
have a good furnisher.
Here I am! said Todd arriving with two shovels.
Good, its time to go. Jeff or Todd, go get the girl.
I think Todd could do it. After all, now she is tied, so she isnt dangerous
any more said Jeffrey.
Im tired of you, Jeff! said Todd with rage.
Please you two
Fine! Ill go! said Todd and if she tries any trick I wont be as nice to her
as our british gentleman we have here!
Just go! cried Miss Grisham.
Hey Todd! said Jeffrey One suggestion: take a shovel with you.
Why should I?
She can still use her legs
Todd answered with bad words, but, before going up, he took a shovel.
Hes hopeless said Jeffrey.
We must have a little chat after this will be over said Miss Grisham. Youre
a good element, but you cannot keep insult your team mates, even if they arent
as smart as you are
Ill try to control myself, Miss Grisham
Good, I really hope you
Suddenly they heard Todd screaming: Its gone! The brat is gone!
Miss Grisham rushed to the bedroom. What do you mean shes gone? How is it
possible?
She jumped out of the window! Its Jeffreys fault! That idiot!
Well said Jeffrey entering the room with a calm voice if you want to loose
time accusing me, its fine, but shouldnt we go look for her?
You better find her! shouted Miss Grisham Now lets go, that pest wont go so
far.
The three got out of the lodge. Miss Grisham was holding the gun in her hand
while Todd had still the shovel he had carried to the bedroom. 
Lets split up! said the woman I swear that if you dont find her, you both
will be sorry!
Yes maam said Todd.
The woman and the two young men rushed to three separate ways.


Chapter 6

Jill was running as fast as she could. She had an athletic build and her
resistance was high, but she was starting to feel tired. She had several
scratches on her legs and arms since she had fallen to the ground a couple of
times. Besides, having her wrist tied behind her back wasnt helping her. She
stopped and leaned to a tree. She was all flushed and sweaty and was panting
hard. 
Must rest for a two or three second she thought Wheres the exit of this
damned wood?
Suddenly she felt a noise. Trying to breathe as low as she could, she looked
around. She saw no one. She heard that noise again. Slowly she peeked beyond the
tree she was leaned to. Nobody was there, but she saw a little hill. If I go on
top of that, I could see the environment and maybe I could find the road but I
could be spotted, too. Well, I dont have much choice. If I continue running
randomly, I might end up to the lodge again, or faint for exhaustion And both
these things would mean the end for me
The girl headed to the little hill. She had just begun to climb it, when she
heard the same sound she had heard before, right behind her. She jumped in
surprise and turned around. A squirrel was running on the ground. Jill felt her
legs almost like jelly. My god, what a fright you little sneaky creature come
here if you have the guts! she thought with anger and fear. No time for this.
I have to keep going. Just let me reach the top of this But when she turned
around she froze in fear. Todd was standing on the top of the little hill
looking at her. He hadnt had too many difficulties to find her since he knew
the place very well. His expression was a mix of rage and sadism and he was
carrying a shovel.
MISS GRISHAM! IVE FOUND HER!!
Jill realised she hadnt much time. She turned around and started to run. Todd
darted toward her. Come here, you little brat! 
The two ran through the woods. Suddenly Jill stumbled in a root and fell to the
ground. She was stunned, but she knew Todd was behind her, with a blunt weapon.
She turned around and saw the young man who was about to hit her with the
shovel. She rolled on her side managing to avoid the blow. Then she threw a kick
to the shovel making Todd drop it. After that she got up trying to escape, but
the young man was on her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. Let me
go, you freak! screamed the girl, but before she could react, Todd grabbed her
other arm and shoved her to a tree. Jills head made contact with the wood.
Ouch! The girl knew she had to react fast, but the blow had stunned her, and
her body didnt seem to respond. Besides Todd rushed to her, put his hands on
her neck and started to squeeze. Jill realised she couldnt breathe. Hes
strangling me... 
Now youre not that feisty anymore, huh? cried Todd Youre not playing the
part of the though girl who can kick ass to anyone anymore, huh? This is for
your curiosity and your impertinence!
Jill knew she was about to pass out and if that would have happened the game
would have been over. She had only a last try. She concentrated and then she
acted. Her forehead was crashed to Todds nose. OOOW!! Cried Todd letting
Jills throat go. The girl threw a hard kick on his belly and he went to the
floor, squirming for the pain. You little &/+%! You broke my nose!!
Jill was stunned. First she had fallen to the ground, then her head had been
smashed to a tree and yet she herself had used it to conk her attacker. The
environment around her had become blurry, and her eyes were blinking and
rolling, as her body were choosing whether remain conscious or not. No, Jill,
dont pass out! she yelled to herself Not now! Not now! Stay awake!
She tried to focus. Todd was getting up aching. Youre a dead girl! he
screamed. Again she had to act quickly. It seems she had managed to stay
conscious, but the young man was approaching her, and not to kiss her. 
All of a sudden she saw an opening, a way to escape that situation. For an
instant she thought: No... that would be unfair but in the following instant
she had another thought: Hes going to kill you! Why the hell do you care about
the rules?? And, after thinking that, she took all her strength she had and
threw a very powerful kick, directly in the middle of Todds legs. Every
creature in the forest heard the young man screaming. He fell on his knees,
bringing his hands to his groin. 
Go to hell, you bastard! cried Jill throwing another kick, this time to his
face. Todd fell to the ground, nearly unconscious, letting a couple of groans
out.
The girl was panting. Thats what you get when you try to harass little
defenceless girls! she said. Then she thought If my Tae Kwon Do Sensei knew
what Ive just done, he would punish me very hard Well, no time to think about
that. There are still two of them, and they certainly heard him screaming. Must
get But as she turned around, she found herself face to face with Miss
Grisham. 
Hello, Jill said the woman.
Before the girl could do anything, Miss Grisham threw a solid punch to her face.
Jill froze for a moment, then her eyes rolled up and she fell to the ground with
a moan, knocked out cold.

Shoot her! Damn it, kill that little bitch!! shouted Todd. He was still on the
ground in pain, his hands at his groin.
Shut up, you idiot! You want everyone to hear you? said Miss Grisham while she
was checking at the unconscious girl who still had her wrists tied. Todd kept
groaning, weakly.
Now where the hell has Jeffrey gone?? Todd, please get up, we have to go. We
are too close to the road, somebody could see us. Can you get up?
Oooow I think so
Good, try to do it while I wake up the little punk
O-ok
The woman had the unconscious Jill sit up and patted her cheeks. Come on, young
lady, its time to wake up. We still have that walk to do
The girl slowly opened her eyes. Everything was blurry and her body was hurting.
She kept blinking her eyes for several seconds.
Youve been a very bad girl, Jill. I had to punish you, and Im going to do it
again if you dont learn how to behave. Now, be good and everything will be over
very soon said the woman stroking the girls face.
Jill realised Miss Grisham was pointing a silenced gun at her.
Get up, were leaving the woman grabbed the girls left arm and helped her to
get on her feet. Todd, are you ready?
The young man had managed to get up, but he was still aching. His face was full
of rage. 
You see said Miss Grisham to Jill you havent been very nice to Todd and he
is very angry at you. But I wont let him hurt you even if you deserve it. Lets
go now. Dont worry, everything will be ok.
No, it wont! screamed the girl I know youre going to kill me!
Miss Grisham gave her an angry glance. Now, listen, you brat, were going to do
it the easy way or the hard way. If you dont cooperate, Im going to shoot you
in the shoulder, and thats gonna hurt! Understood? said threatening the girl
with the gun. 
Jill knew she had only one chance to snap out of it. Understood, but it seems
your dangler is not feeling well she said looking behind Miss Grisham shoulder.
The woman started to turn around, but immediately realised that was a trick. She
could barely avoid the girls kick on her hand and managed to keep the gun.
That was a mistake, you stupid brad, a big mistake she pointed the weapon at
Jill shoulder.
No! Wait pleaded the girl.
Too late for that replied the woman pulling the trigger.
*CLICK*
What the? she looked at the gun its damaged! How is it possible? I checked
it before! 
She soon realised: Jeffrey!! That son of a bitch!!
Jill understood Miss Grisham wasnt able to use the weapon. She turned around
and tried to flee, but the woman was immediately on her and grabbed her arm.
Where do you think youre going?
Let me go, you witch!
Todd, what are waiting for? Help me keeping her still!
The aching young man reached the two fighting females and grabbed Jill trying to
hold her.
Let me go you bastards! LET ME GO!!!
No way, brat!
HEEELP!! HEEELP!! screamed the girl fighting desperately to get free.
Shut your little mouth, you bitch!! shouted Miss Grisham, hitting Jill on the
head with the gun butt. 
Ow! 
The blow hadnt been too much powerful, but Jill was still a bit dizzy for the
punch she had received and she fell to the ground stunned. Miss Grisham rolled
her on her back and straddled her body, putting a hand on her throat. Jill tried
to keep her eyes opened. Among all the stars she was seeing, two Misses Grishams
were looking down at her.
You should know one thing, Ive never liked you or the way you behave during my
classes. You dont know how many times Ive desired to be in a situation like
this one. Youre too arrogant and feisty, but Im going to put an end at it very
soon. This is how teachers should deal with undisciplined students like you.
You talk about discipline and you sell drug in the school? Youre totally
crazy! cried the girl, while the two women she was seeing were slowly becoming
one.
Youre hopeless, you will never learn what education is, but soon this wont be
important anymore. You know, young lady, I may have lost my weapon, but Ive
still the strength to break this little neck of yours, this is why youd better
be very still. Because if you try one more, just one more trick, it will be the
last thing youll ever do.
Its funny youre threatening to kill me, when youre about to do it anyway
why dont you shut that disgusting mouth of yours?
Miss Grisham grinned. Defiant till the end, huh? I suppose it cant be helped
You know one thing? asked Jill.
No, and I dont want to 
Saying this, the woman raised her arm and slapped the girl hard on her right
cheek. 
Uuuhnn Jill lost consciousness instantly.
This is another thing I wanted to do every time you opened your petulant mouth
in my class!

Is she out? asked Todd.
Help me putting her on her feet, we have to go very fast! ordered Miss
Grisham. 
The two grabbed the stunned girl and had her got up. Jill had regained a bit of
consciousness, but was too weak to react.
Lets drag her away said the woman.
What about Jeffrey? asked Todd.
The guy screwed us. I dont know why he did that, but if Im going to find him,
he will do the same end of this brat!
Hehehe! I really hope were going to find him. Im going to take care of him
Yeah right. Instead of thinking about that, lets hope he hasnt done any other
trick to help this girl to run away
T-the c-cops said Todd with fear in his eyes, looking behind Miss Grishams
back.
Thats right he could have called them!
H-he did
What? as Miss Grisham turned around, she saw them.
That bastard! 
She quickly brought her arm at Jills throat and grasped.
DONT MOVE! POLICE! LET THE GIRL GO!
The policemen were pointing their weapon in their direction. Todd had a
desperate look in his face and was about to start to cry, but Miss Grishams
eyes burned with anger.
Dont YOU move! If you take another more step, Im going to break this little
girls neck!
The officers stopped moving. Miss Grisham said one of them we know everything
about you. You dont have a chance, so let that girl go and surrender
Please, spare me all the cop-talking! If you care about this brats life, you
wont do anything and let me go.
It seems youre loosing control of the situation whispered Jill with a weak
tone of voice.
Just wait until well be alone and then youll stop being that arrogant 
You really dont want to know what I was about to say before?
No, I dont, just shut up
Pity, cause Im going to tell you anyway. You know Ive been a real bother to
you during your classes
You dont need to remind me of it thats why youll get punished
Well I was like that for a reason
Maybe because your daddy has never told you about discipline?
No, its because as a teacher YOU SUCK! saying that, Jill gave herself a
push against Miss Grisham, and the two females ended up directly to a tree. As
her back made contact with the wood, the woman lost her grip on the girl.
Miss Grisham tried to grab Jill again. You little but before she could end
her sentence or take any advantage on the girl, Jill throw a kick directly to
her face, and the woman fell on the ground.
Thats for everything you have done to me, you old witch!
Since she was weak, her kick hadnt been that powerful, but the officers had
immediately reacted and they had grabbed Miss Grisham and Todd before they could
do anything.
Jill felt her legs werent able to hold her anymore and fell on her knees. A
policeman approached to her and started to untie her wrists.
Dont worry he said youre safe now. They cant do anything to you
The girl looked at him. I want to go home she said.


Chapter 7

Are all these exams necessary? asked Jill to Doctor Carl Turner who was
visiting her at the hospital.
Yes, they are, would you please stay still while I check your eyes?
Daddy, Im fine! Ive only a couple of scratches and bruises
Last time I checked, I was the doctor and you were the foolish little brat who
nearly had herself killed for being too reckless, so dont move and let me
finish checking on you.
Hey, dont call me brat! Youre sounding just like them!
Well, you will find out that theyre not so dangerous compared to me when Im
furious
But Daddy
He gave a firm glance to her.
Oook Ill be quiet said the girl huffing.
Kate was in the same room. She was still a bit frightened, but she was relieved
to see her friend safe and sound.
After a while, Carl stopped to visit her daughter and said: You seem to be all
right, only some scratches and bruises
I already knew that... replied Jill rolling her eyes.
You took a big risk, you know? That teacher of yours, Miss Grisham, was about
to kill you
I knew that, too
It seems you have discovered a little net of drug traffic. That woman was
selling ecstasy pills to kids like you. She wasnt too happy to have been
discovered
Kate giggled. And besides by one of her most hated student!
Carl looked at his daughter. Hated? What did you do during her classes?
Jill blushed then gave an angry look to Kate.
Well said the blond girl I meant
Its not important now! cried Jill Lets keep talking about the drug dealing
and Jill-killing stuff!
I will pretend Ive heard nothing said her father anyway, the police has
just searched in her house and found a briefcase full of drug. I think the chief
of police will congratulate with you.
Thats a good news! shouted Kate Ive always knew you were a great
detective! Then she realised Carl was looking at her with a bad expression.
No, I meant
Theres still one thing I dont understand said Jill changing subject how did
the police find me?
From what I heard, they received an anonymous phone call replied Carl.
What? Jill looked really surprised.
Is it possible she thought that he did
Dad she asked did the police catch all three of them?
No, just 2. Miss Grisham has been taken to the police office for interrogation.
The other guy, I think his name is Todd, is here in this building
What is he doing here? asked Kate.
Well, he has a little injury in a very delicate part of the body
You mean?
Yes I do, and I think I know who hurt him.
Both Kate and Carl turned their heads toward Jill, who wasnt listening.
Whats wrong, Jill?
Nothing, just thinking.
About that guy who managed to escape? asked Kate with a little grin.
What? NO! shouted Jill.
Ok ok, dont get mad! Doctor Turner, theres a name for this thing, you know,
when the victim starts to like her captor
Yes, its called Stockholm Syndrome replied Carl.
Would you stop that, you two! cried Jill with anger Kate, you want me to beat
you?
The blonde girl was giggling.
Come on, girls said Carl Its time to go home
Yes, thats better said Jill.
They got out of the room. Walking toward the exit of the hospital, they saw a
door protected by two officers. Kate looked a bit intimidated. Is he in there?
Yes he is replied Carl.
Dont be afraid, Kate. He cant do anything to us. The cops are here for a
reason said Jill to her friend.
Actually said the doctor I think theyre here to protect HIM from YOU
Daddy!
They left the hospital and headed to Carls car.
So said Jill in the end Jeffrey managed to escape
Dont worry about that replied Carl the police is looking for him.
Maybe I should do it
Carl stopped to walking a turned to his daughter. He seemed to be about to kill
her.
Hey, I was just joking! said the girl with a te-hee.
Yeah, what if I knock you out and make you travel home in the trunk?
Youre mean!
Yes I am. You dont know how I was scared.
Im sorry, daddy. I promise I wont to anything reckless again
Carl looked at her for a couple of seconds. Yeah, right he said getting on
the car.


Chapter 8

Harry Jones was really angry. His body was hurting and he felt like he had been
beaten by an entire criminal gang. You have to do something, dad!
Raul Jones was sitting on his armchair in the study of his mansion, holding a
glass of whiskey.
Doing what, son?
Harry pulled his shirt up revealing some new bruises on his torso.
Look at that!
His father was looking at him. How many people did this? he asked with a calm
voice.
Harry didnt answer. 
Only one, I suppose. But maybe he was a very strong one, a wrestler, a boxer?
His son was more and more embarassed. Mister Jones kept talking.
No, right? Let me guess a fifteen year old girl?
Harry nodded.
Whats her name? Jill, right?
Yes! Thats her! That stupid girl! She waited for me outside the school!
And she beat you.
Yes! You have to call her father, sue him!
Now youre doing my job
No its only that
Have I to remind you that you and that friend of yours, Ted Tanned, knocked her
unconscious the other day? And maybe its exactly for that reason that she
remained in the school, discovered what Miss Grisham was doing and was kidnapped
and almost killed. We have to thank God if its not Carl Turner the one who sues
us! Besides, hearing my son crying because he was beaten by a little girl makes
me sick.
But, dad
No but she got what she wanted and now you two are even. If the Principal call
me again and tells me you have touched even a hair of that girl, you will live
very bad moments. Understood?
Ok, dad
Good. Now, go to bed. Ive some business to take care
Good night, dad
Good night, son
Harry Left the room. He was furious, but he couldnt do anything about it. 

Meanwhile his father was finishing his drink.
Come in he said.
Another door opened and a young man entered the room.
Even your son is bothered by her. She is incredible.
Incredible is the right word, Jeffrey. Is she that tough?
Believe me, sir. Ive seen her. Dont be mad at your son. Its not a good
choice to face Jill Turner unless you have something to sedate her quickly. Well
of course Im exaggerating a bit, she is just a little girl, but she can fight.
You can ask Todd, if you want when he will leave the hospital and prison
Todd will be in serious troubles. His family is rich, but they didnt know
about his doings. I think theyre going to disinherit him. But he isnt
dangerous since he didnt know who he was working for
What about Miss Grisham?
She knows that if she will ever say a single word about me, she wont see the
following dawn. Besides I dont think she will stay in prison for long. I know
how to manipulate the law. But if she had killed Miss Turner, that would have
been different. Its more difficult to free a murderer from prison that a drug
dealer not impossible, but more difficult. In fact, you did well when you
prevented her from killing that girl. We may have lost a precious employee for
now, but I have more than one drug dealer working for me. And we avoided leaving
corpses behind us. Besides I know Carl Turner since we were child and if his
daughter would have been murdered, he would have hunted down her killers and
everyone acquinted to them
 Carl Turner....... can be a extremely dangerous person if someone makes the
mistake of crossing him
Yes, it would have been a shame. Such a pretty little girl
What about you? Its better you dont show your face around here for a while.
Are you going back to England?
Im not sure, but, before I go, I still have something to do here
Be careful not to be caught. The police are looking for you
I know that and its not the first time
Why am I thinking that what you are about to do could be quietly avoided?
Lets just say its a risk worth taking
Ok, see you soon Jeffrey
Good bye, Mister Jones


Epilogue

It was almost 11 oclock in the evening and Jill was returning home. She was
really tired, but very satisfied, too. First she had taught a lesson to Harry
Jones then she had been at the Greenleaf Pub with Kate and some others friends.
They were all curious to know about her kidnapping, about how it felt to be tied
and kept prisoner or how the chloroform smelled. She had a great evening, and
she couldnt believe two days before she had lived that bad adventure. But she
didnt realise it was that late. Damn, if daddy finds out, hes going to kill
me. Luckily he has to work this night, but what if he had tried to call me at
home? Im going to tell him I went to bed very early and I didnt hear the
telephone He definitely is not going to believe it! She rushed to reach her
house.
She arrived at the front door and opened it. She quickly entered and closed it
remaining in the dark. 
Suddenly, before she could turn on the lights, someone grabbed her from behind
and clamped a hand on her mouth. Jill tried to scream and started to struggle to
free herself, but her attacker was too strong and her cries were muffled by the
hand. Then she started to find that grip some kind familiar. 
Sssh, stay calm, Jill, dont struggle the attacker whispered in her ears.
Jeffrey! thought the girl What is he doing here?
Dont worry, Im not here to hurt you. I wouldnt have saved your life just to
kill you afterward, dont you think?
Jill stopped her struggling. Jeffrey waited for some seconds, then made her turn
to face him and pushed her against the door, still keeping his hand on her
mouth. The girl looked at him with a bit of fear and anger.
Now Im going to remove my hand from your mouth. You promise you wont scream?
Jill nodded.
Good girl said Jeffrey smiling as he pulled off his hand.
What do you want? she asked.
Hey, you dont even say hello to me?
Yeah, hello, how are you? Hows your family? Dammit, what are doing in my
house??
I just wanted to see how you are doing and say goodbye to you since Ill have
to go away for a while. I bet you know who I should thank for that
And you came here just to say this?
Dont be mad at me. Remember I saved your life.
You really think so? I had the situation under control before the police came.
Yes, you were on the ground unconscious while Miss Grisham and Todd were a
little angry with you and were about to send you to the creator, not with the
gun of course, since someone else had sabotaged it
What? You were watching?
No, Im just a fortune teller
Very funny! So Im supposed to thank you for that. Of course I should forget
the fact that you with the other two jerks abducted me, tied me, chloroformed me
twice and at the end of all this you broke into my house! Many thanks for that!
I like when you are sarcastic. You start to sound like me
Why dont you just... mmmmh
Jeffrey quickly put his hand back on her mouth. Sssh... Didnt your daddy ever
taught you that bad words arent appropriate to a pretty young lady like you?
He pulled off his hand This doesnt mean I dont like your attitude of
course 
Hey, are you trying to impress me? If I remember well, you already have a
girlfriend, which is a bit angry with you said Jill pointing out a light grin.
What a little devil you are. Im thinking about that poor man who is your
father. Life shouldnt be easy for him with a daughter like you. Speaking of
him, he called here some time before you arrived
W-what?
He left a message. He didnt seem very happy to realise you werent here. Im
afraid youll be grounded this week end.
T-thats none of your business!
If I were him, Id tie you to your bed, put an oxygen mask on your face
connected with a cylinder of anaesthetic gas and I would make you sleep during
all week end
I know you would like to do it, but unfortunately for you, youre not my
father, so if you like this sleepy stuff, do it on your girlfriend! Anything
else to say? If not, scram!
Yes, dont worry, Im leaving very soon. I just wanted to congratulate with
you. Even if I had to help, you stopped an evil drug dealer. Youre a pretty
good detective girl and I think criminals would have some problems with you in
town
Jill grinned. Yes, and thats valid for you, too!
Hehe, Im looking forward to our next meeting, but now I have to go. One last
thing: I know what you are thinking and you have to promise not to follow me
now. Ok?
Should I?
Yes, besides it would be useless, since Im very good in having my traces lost
But youre still worried that a fifteen years old girl like me might be able to
tail you said Jill giggling.
Perhaps so, do you promise youll be good and stay here?
I cannot replied the girl looking away.
Jeffrey grinned. Well you know, I was hoping a bit that you answered like
that
He pulled a little cylindrical can from his pocket.
W-whats that? Wait before Jill could finish her sentence, Jeffrey brought
the can up to her face and sprayed a little dose under her nose. The girl
smelled a strong odor and suddenly her body became weak and her eyes heavy.
W-what d-did you she collapsed in his arms.
Sorry girl, but you gave me no choice. Its time to go to bed now
Y-you b-bastard You w-wont get away with this
Jeffrey lifted the half conscious girl and carried her to her room. He laid her
on her bed and proceeded to take off her shoes.
W-what are you doing? S-stop that!
Im afraid youll have to sleep with your clothes on, since Im a gentleman
H-how nice
Are you comfortable?
Y-yes t-thank you jerk
Good, Im sorry, but I really have to leave now he said brushing her hairs
Ill survive
Hehe, I know you will. Now Ill give you another dose of his to make sure you
will sleep for all the night saying so he pointed the can to her face. 
Ill see you he said.
Not if I see you first
Jeffrey smiled and sprayed another whiff on her face. Jill let a faint moan out.
The young man got up and headed toward the exit.
You know moaned Jill. Jeffrey stopped.
I-Im going to catch y-you sooner or l-later
Jeffrey turned at her. She was looking at him with very sleepy eyes. Then she
stuck out her tongue at him. He smiled.
Silly little girl he said walking out. The girl closed her eyes and drifted
off to a deep peaceful slumber.
