Reverse It - Part 1 Archie Fan - betty_cooper72@yahoo.ca After the mysterious disappearance of Cheryl Blossom, Veronica makes a discovery in Dilton's basement... This story was written for my friend KissTheManiac ****************************************************************************** ****** The mood in the town of Riverdale was tense. Homecoming Queen and head cheerleader Cheryl Blossom had vanished four days ago without a trace. While almost everyone suspected that Cheryl had been abducted, the police refused to rule out that she hadn't just run away without any sort of evidence one way or the other. However then an unmarked envelope had shown up at the police station. Inside was a note that simply said, "Cheryl was just the first; I'm not done." That had been enough to send the town into a full-fledged panic. Police were now convinced that Cheryl had indeed been abducted; although they didn't know whether she was alive or not. The more immediate concern for the police was protecting everyone else in town; since whoever was responsible had said they were going to abduct someone else. Sherriff Hassle was at Riverdale High, all of the students were gathered in the auditorium for an emergency assembly. "The Riverdale Police Department is going to be enforcing a town wide curfew," Hassle announced. "Until our suspect has been arrested we will also be enforcing a buddy system. All students will be paired up. After school, you are to go to the home of the student that lives closest to school and remain there until a parent or guardian can come pick the other one up. Principal Weatherbee and the rest of the staff has decided on pairings. Any students who live next door or across the street from each other have been paired up so that they can both go home at the same time if so desired. Principal Weatherbee will now read off the pairings." "Archie Andrews and Jughead Jones," Weatherbee began. "Alright," the two best friends exclaimed as they high-fived. "Reggie Mantle and Betty Cooper," Weatherbee continued. Betty and Reggie both looked at each other and then shrugged. The two of them did live next door to each other so it made sense. "Dilton Doiley and Veronica Lodge," Weatherbee announced. Veronica grumbled in her seat. She knew from the moment that Hassle had mentioned that students living near each other would be paired up where possible that she was going to get an undesirable pairing because Veronica lived further away from the school than everyone else. And now she was stuck with the biggest nerd at the school. As the assembly ended Dilton approached Veronica, his head down looking at the floor. "I... I know you're not too happy about being paired with me," Dilton mumbled. Veronica noticed that her friends Archie, Betty, Reggie and Jughead were all watching her. Veronica didn't want to come across as a total bitch. "Well, maybe my grades will improve from studying with you," Veronica said trying to come up with something positive out of this. "Yeah, yeah I can help you with that," Dilton said with a smile. "And if that goes well then maybe..." Veronica cut him off by putting a finger in his face. "Don't get ahead of yourself Poindexter," Veronica said. Dilton turned around walked away with a sad look on his face. "That wasn't very nice Veronica," Betty said. "I'm not about to date him or sleep with him," Veronica stated. "No but you could have let him down a little nicer," Betty suggested. "He'll get over it," Veronica said. ****************************************************************************** ****** It was after school and Veronica had gone home to Dilton's house as the new town rules dictated. Dilton had brought Veronica to his laboratory in the basement so they could study chemistry. As Veronica looked around Dilton's laboratory she was impressed, he had more and better equipment than what they had at school. It was no wonder that Dilton had such high grades. They had been study for almost an hour when Dilton suddenly stood up. "Oh, oh I'm so sorry," he apologized. "Sorry? Sorry for what?" Veronica asked confused. "I didn't offer you a beverage," Dilton replied. "Oh that's okay," Veronica said. "No, no it's not. Social protocol states that I must offer you a beverage," Dilton said. "What would you like?" "I... um..." Veronica stammered a little caught off guard and confused. "Never mind I'll just bring everything," Dilton stated as he hurried out of the laboratory and upstairs. Veronica just shook her head in disbelief. She then stood up and began walking around Dilton's laboratory. There was lots of fancy and expensive looking equipment that she had no idea what any of it did. Veronica then noticed that in one corner of the room Dilton had a rather large and elaborate electric train set. Veronica's father was also a fan of electric trains, although Veronica didn't really care for them one way or the other. Veronica went over and looked at the track. She saw that there were three separate lines each with it's own train, but when she looked at the control panel there were controls for four lines. "Huh, that's odd," Veronica muttered to herself. "Well maybe he's planning on building a fourth line eventually." Veronica moved the dials. One train moved, then a second, however when she moved the third dial it didn't cause the third train to move. Instead the wall next to her slid open reveal a secret room. "What the hell?" Veronica exclaimed. Veronica walked into the secret room and looked around. There wasn't much in the room, just one device that Veronica had absolutely no idea what it did. It sort of reminded her of the device from the movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, although this one was smaller about the size of a TV camera. The device was sitting on the work bench. Veronica went over and examined the device. As she did accidentally touched something and the device emitted a yellow beam. The beam struck Veronica for about half a second before the device shut off. Veronica reflexively stepped back in shock and began feeling herself. She didn't seem to be wounded. All of sudden however Veronica was overcome with a feeling of vertigo. She placed a hand on the work bench to steady herself. However it felt like the room was shrinking. But as quickly as it began the feeling stopped. Veronica blinked and looked around. She was certain the room had shrunk her line of sight had changed and everything seemed lower. However then Veronica looked down at her arm. Her thin skinny arms were now lean and toned, like those of a fitness model or cross-fit athlete. "What the..." Veronica mumbled. Veronica then looked down at the rest of herself. She noticed her boobs, which had been a C-Cup looked to have grown to at least a D-Cup, maybe they were DD's now. Veronica then examined the rest of herself, her stomach now had washboard abs and her legs had grown lean and tone just like her arms. Just then Veronica heard the sound of the doorbell ringing upstairs; it was probably her ride home. Hurriedly Veronica left the room and closed it putting everything back the way it was. "Veronica your ride is here," Dilton called down the stairs. Veronica grabbed her coat and put it on, even though it was quite warm out now and went upstairs. "Well thank you for all your help," Veronica said to Dilton. "I think I'll do really well on that next chemistry test." "You're welcome," Dilton replied. "Are you... taller?" "What? No, it's just my shoes," Veronica lied. "Anyway see you at school tomorrow." Veronica then hurriedly left getting into the car with Gaston their family's chauffeur. ****************************************************************************** ****** When Veronica arrived home she was greeted by her father, Hiram Lodge. "Hello dear, how was your study session?" Hiram asked. "Oh, uh good," Veronica replied. "Well dinner is just about ready," Hiram said. "I um... I ate at Dilton's already actually," Veronica lied. "What? Why didn't you let me know?" Hiram asked crossly. "Sorry, we'd just finished eating when Gaston showed up," Veronica stated. "I'm just going to go up to my room." "Well, alright," Hiram said with a grumble. Veronica made her way upstairs to her room quickly and she locked the door behind her. She then took off her coat and then stripped down to just her underwear and then examined herself in the mirror. There was no doubt about it, Veronica had definitely gained muscle tone; and it wasn't just mass, she looked fit. On top of that her breasts were definitely bigger, they were spilling out of her C-cup bra. Veronica undid her bra let her breasts bounce free. She was surprised by how little sag they had. It seemed that they were well supported by her developed pectorals. Veronica the flexed her arms and watched with intrigue as 15-inch biceps sprang up from her arms. "Jeez I wonder..." Veronica mused. Veronica dropped to her knees and then placed her hands on the ground and began doing push up. She dropped down until her now bigger breasts were squished against the ground. She did it over and over doing more than fifty push ups in less than two minutes with ease. "This is too easy," Veronica said to herself. "Let's make it a little more difficult." Veronica put her left hand behind her back and then repositioned her right hand and then proceeded to do one handed push ups. Veronica was able to do nearly one hundred before she started to feel a bit fatigued. "Wow... I'm really in shape," Veronica commented. "Betty and Nancy are going to be so jealous." Veronica's best friend Betty, as well as Nancy Woods were two of the best female athletes at school. But Veronica was sure that now she was a better athlete than either of them, perhaps than both of them put together. Veronica then went to her massive walk-in closet to pick out an outfit to wear tomorrow. However two hours later she hadn't found anything. Because she was taller, more muscular and bustier a lot of her clothes no longer fit properly. And Veronica Lodge was not one to show up in improperly fitting clothing. "This simply will not do," Veronica said out loud. "I guess I'll have to go shopping." However, when Veronica looked at the time she realized that the mall was now closed, and if she ordered anything online it wouldn't show up till tomorrow, probably in the afternoon. "Ugh, well I guess I'm not going to school tomorrow," Veronica said. She then went to her bed and opened up her laptop to try and pick out some new outfits to buy. However as Veronica browsed about a thought crossed her mind. What if she could get even bigger? Veronica didn't know exactly how Dilton's device worked, all the science behind it was too complicated for her. But she did know what sort of effect it had. If just a tiny little burst from it had done this to her, what would happen with a longer one? Veronica grinned as she thought about the possibilities. She could be stronger than Big Moose. Veronica closed her laptop, there was no point in shopping since she didn't know how big she could get, and even then she would probably need custom made clothing. All she had to do was figure out someway to sneak into Dilton's home. ****************************************************************************** ****** "Veronica honey get up you need to go to school," Veronica's mother Hermione called. "I... I can't," Veronica responded weakly from her bed. "I... I feel sick." A few moments later Hermione was upstairs and in Veronica's room. She had to admit Veronica looked rather pale and sweaty. She placed a hand on Veronica's head which was clammy to the touch. "Oh my you certain seem sick," Hermione said. "Do you want some soup?" "No, *cough* no, I think I just need to sleep," Veronica replied. "Well alright dear, you get some rest," Hermione said. As soon as her mother had left the room Veronica quietly sprang out of bed. She went to her bathroom and wiped herself off. She had put a space heater in her bathroom and cranked in up to full blast and essentially turned her bathroom into a sauna to make herself appear ill. "Ugh, I do look terrible," Veronica said. "Well I can shower after I grow myself." Veronica put on her gym clothes which were the only things that still fit and went over to her window. She saw her father's car sitting in the driveway. Veronica knew he would be leaving for work in just a few minutes so she had to move quickly. Veronica quietly opened her window and climbed out and with her newly gained athleticism climbed down the side of the house and ran over to the car. She popped the trunk and quietly climbed in, closing the trunk just in time as her father left the house. "See you later dear," Hiram said to his wife. "Tell Veronica that I hope she's feeling better." "Yes dear," Hermione said as she kissed her husband good-bye. Hiram then got into his car and drove off, having no idea that his daughter was not sick and that she was currently hiding in the trunk of his car. Hiram drove along until he came to a Starbucks and he pulled in to go through the drive thru. While her father was making his order Veronica pulled on the emergency release for the trunk and peeked out, she didn't want anyone seeing her and causing a scene. There were no cars behind him so Veronica quietly opened the trunk and climbed out and closed the trunk behind her and then ran off, as Hiram pulled around to the window to pay and get his coffee he had no idea what had just happened. Veronica jogged along to Dilton's house. Not only was she stronger, but her endurance had greatly increased as well. When she arrived Veronica was barely breathing heavy. The house was quiet. Dilton's parents were both at work, his father was an accountant and his mother was an elementary school teacher. Just yesterday Dilton had showed Veronica where the spare key to the house was under a potted plant in the backyard. Veronica retrieved it and let herself into the house and then made her way down to the basement. Veronica then went over to Dilton's trainset and used it to reveal the secret room. Just as Veronica was entering the room she heard something. "Help me!" a quiet and high-pitched voice cried out. Veronica looked around but she couldn't see anyone. "Is someone there?" Veronica asked. "Help me!" the voice cried out again. Veronica looked around the room; perhaps it was some sort of recording thing that Dilton used, maybe to play a joke on his parents or something. She didn't know, Dilton was an odd boy. As Veronica was searching she came across a notebook; it had a picture of Dilton's growth device on the cover. Veronica opened it up wondering if perhaps it would explain how to use it. However the book mostly contained complex scientific formulas with some comments from Dilton about how his device worked in various trials. Veronica then flipped to the last page. "Shrink test was a success; now I just need to find a way to get her in front of the device," it read. "Shrink test?" Veronica exclaimed indignantly. "That little nerd was planning on shrinking me? Well I will show him!" Veronica threw the notebook aside and marched over to Dilton's device. She looked it over trying to remember how she'd activated it yesterday. "Pretty sure it was this," Veronica mumbled as she flicked a switch. The device shot a beam out at Veronica for about twenty seconds before it shut itself off automatically. Veronica looked around but nothing seemed to have happened. She thought that perhaps Dilton had done something to disable the device when suddenly she was overcome by the same feeling of vertigo that she'd had yesterday. This time the effects were far more dramatic. Veronica's head quickly rose up towards the ceiling. Her body swelled outward and her muscles grew larger as did her breasts, tearing her clothing to shreds. Veronica soon found herself having to crouch to fit inside the room. When her growth finally stopped Veronica guessed that she was about twelve feet tall. Her tits had grown even bigger and she guessed that her musculature was comparable with the biggest of female bodybuilders, just scaled up to her twelve- foot size. "Oh yes this is awesome!" Veronica exclaimed as she flexed a massive bicep and wondered just how big it was. "But what if Dilton tries to turn me back to normal?" Veronica had only been a muscular giantess for about a minute, but she had no desire to change back to regular normal Veronica. "Maybe I can just destroy this machine," Veronica thought. "Oh but what if this is only temporary, and Dilton could always build another one..." Veronica thought for a moment trying to come up with a better idea. "Perhaps I could shrink Dilton," Veronica said aloud with an evil chuckle. "Wouldn't that be a good turn about. Of course if he sees me coming like this he'll probably just run away. Not that I couldn't catch him; no I've got a better idea." Veronica reached over and activated the device for a second time. The device struck her with another twenty second burst. Veronica felt the sensation once more and this time she burst up through the ceiling as she grew, erupting into Dilton's backyard. When she had finished growing Veronica was now twenty-four feet tall or so and as muscular as the biggest male bodybuilders with gigantic breasts. "Hmm, so his secret room was added to the basement," Veronica mused as she looked around. Veronica then climbed out of the basement into the backyard. She then reached in and carefully pulled the device out. "Let's see just how big I can get!" Veronica declared. Veronica activated the device again with some difficulty. This time growing herself to 48 feet. She activated the device again and now she was around 100 feet tall. By this point she was so big that she could not activate the device any further; however at this point she no longer cared. Veronica flexed her enormous muscles, biceps bigger than a transport truck sprang up on her arms. Her breasts, which were around 15 feet in diameter and probably weighed more than 20 tons each, stuck out from her chest in complete defiance of gravity supported by dense pectoral muscle. "This is fucking fantastic!" Veronica exclaimed. "To think what I can do now!" Veronica took one step and easily went from Dilton's backyard to the street. Her foot crunched down on a car on the road, crushing it as flat as a pancake. Veronica chuckled at the destruction. Just then a car came racing around the corner. Veronica grinned as she immediately recognized the blue Ford Mustang which belonged to none other than Reggie Mantle who was likely skipping school himself. Reggie slammed on the brakes and skidded to a stop just in time to avoid crashing into Veronica's huge foot. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Veronica asked with a chuckle. Reggie could only stare up out the windshield at the towering visage of his occasional girlfriend. Veronica reached down and grabbed Reggie's car and picked it up. In her hand it felt like a mere plastic toy. Reggie looked down at the ground and screamed at how high up he was. "This is nothing personal Reggie," Veronica said. "But I don't really need you anymore to make Archie jealous." Veronica then placed Reggie's car between her breasts and then squeezed them together with her hands. Reggie screamed and the metal of the car groaned. Veronica then squeezed a little harder and the groan of the metal turned to a screech while Reggie's screams went silent. Veronica then let go of her breasts and the mangled remains of Reggie Mustang fell over sixty-five feet to the ground. "That was fun," Veronica said to herself. "But now what?" Veronica looked around. From her towering vantage point Veronica could see the clock tower at city hall which was 120 feet tall and the only thing taller than herself. Veronica didn't like the fact that something was taller than her and she made her way towards the clock tower. Veronica took a direct route, not worrying at all about where she was stepping. Her feet destroyed, trees, cars and homes as if they were made of paper and cardboard. As she got closer she reached some larger brick commercial buildings. However Veronica's feet smashed through the buildings like a child kicking over toy blocks. People inside the buildings were buried under rubble if they were lucky or killed instantly beneath Veronica's feet if they weren't. Veronica reached the clock tower; the clock face was about even with her face, however the roof of the tower was about 20 feet above her. Veronica lashed out with her fist, punching right through the clock face, her fist emerging on the other side of the tower. A few unfortunate people were crushed by the falling debris. Veronica withdrew her fist but the clock tower remained standing, although it was teetering rather precarious. Annoyed Veronica gave a low roundhouse kick to the tower, her leg smashing completely through. The top of the tower toppled over, crashing down onto main part of city hall and causing the roof there to collapse. Inside dozens were killed and even more were injured from the destruction. Veronica put her hands on her hips and admired the destruction she had caused. "Nothing is going to be taller than me," Veronica said. Just then there was the sound of sirens. Riverdale's police station was just a block away from city hall and it hadn't taken the police long to respond. Sheriff Hassle, got out of his car on a bullhorn. "Put your hands up and surrender or we will open fire," he ordered Veronica. Veronica turned and looked down at the police. There were six police cars and eight officers. "You think that you can stop me? That you can order me around?" Veronica asked indignantly. Without warning Veronica then stomped her foot down at Sheriff Hassle. Hassle was so caught off guard that all he could do was stare at the dark underside of her foot before it came slamming down on him and crushed him flat in an instant. The remaining police officers all opened fire at Veronica. The bullets now simply bounced off of her and to Veronica it felt like she had several ants walking across her skin. Undeterred Veronica slammed her fist down into the ground as hard as she could. All of the police cars rolled over from the shockwave crushing four more of the police officers beneath them. The remaining three police officers soon realized they were completely outmatched. They turned and fled. However, they didn't get far. Veronica stepped on one and she bent down and snatched up the other two, one in each hand. Veronica lifted them up to her face and then looked them both over. One of the officers was a skinny Asian man, while the other was a large overweight white man that reminded Veronica a little of her high school principal. "Hmm, you're a little small," Veronica said looking at the Asian police officer. Veronica then casually tossed him over her shoulder as she switched her attention to the overweight white officer. The Asian officer screamed in terror as he flew hundreds of feet through the air before he hit the ground with a sickening splat. "Now aren't you just a plump little treat," Veronica said. "And all this growing has made me hungry." Veronica then lifted the officer up over her head, holding him with just her thumb and index. She tilted her head back and opened her mouth wide and dropped the officer in. The officer squirmed and struggled and grabbed onto Veronica's teeth to try and prevent himself from entering her mouth. However Veronica gave a light shove with her index finger and forced him in before closing her lips. Veronica then chewed a few times before she swallowed. "Mmm, mmm, mmm," Veronica moaned with satisfaction. She hadn't been sure what to expect taste-wise, but she had found that she had rather enjoyed that. With her hunger sated for now Veronica remembered just why she grown in the first place. To deal with Dilton who had planned to shrink her. "Time to take care of that little pipsqueak," Veronica muttered to herself. Veronica then made her way to Riverdale High leave a path of destruction in her wake. Veronica stopped at the school thinking about how she wanted to do this. She thought about simply destroying the school. But there was a chance that Dilton could make it out in the chaos. A better idea was to threaten the lives of everyone else and force them to turn Dilton over to her. "Bring me Dilton Doiley or I destroy the school," Veronica threatened loudly. Veronica then waited impatiently, but she didn't wait long. Only about a minute later Dilton was forced out the front door of the school by more than a dozen students who quickly took shelter back inside. Dilton took one look at Veronica and turned to try and pull the doors to the school open but they had either been locked or were being held closed. Chuckling Veronica bent down and snatched Dilton up in her hand by his waist. "Well, well, well, isn't this interesting," Veronica said as she stood back up and brought Dilton up to her face. "What do you mean?" Dilton asked nervously. "I found your journal. You were planning on shrinking me down to the size of one of your little miniature action figures. What did you think you were going to do, treat me like I was your toy?" Veronica asked angrily. "Well now the tables are turned. Now I'm the one playing with you like a toy!" "I thought something like this might happen," Dilton said. Veronica was caught off guard by his remark. "What? What do you mean?" She asked. "Do you really think that I didn't plan for something like this happening?" Dilton asked her. Dilton then tapped his watch. Veronica eyes went wide as she saw a drone fly up out of a skylight in the roof of the school which had a device attached to it that looked familiar. "What is that thing?" Veronica asked worriedly. Dilton didn't respond but just grinned. The device on the drone fired a purple beam at Veronica and Veronica soon found herself shrinking. "What? No!" Veronica cried out. She went to try and swat the drone out of the air and destroy it, but it flew up and out of her rapidly shrinking reach. Veronica turned and ran dropping Dilton. Dilton's deployed a parachute from out of nowhere and gently floated down to safety. Meanwhile the drone flew after Veronica still firing the purple beam at her and causing her to shrink. "There's no use running Veronica," Dilton shouted as he watched Veronica flee with a satisfied grin on his face. "The drone is equipped with cameras and sensors designed to track you and it won't stop until you've reached the appropriate size." Veronica ran anyway. She figured she could use the device back at Dilton's house to counter the effects and perhaps even grow again. She followed the path of destruction she had left back towards Dilton's house. The drone continued to follow her all the while Veronica continued to shrink. As she reached Dilton's street Veronica was almost back to her normal height. Veronica soon realized that she was shrinking further still. As she reached Dilton's drive way she was only three feet tall, and before she could even reach the front door Veronica had shrunk down to one foot tall. Veronica realized there was no way she could reach the door knob and get in. She then decided to run for the backyard where she had broken out of the basement. However the drone continued to shrink her until Veronica was only three inches tall. As Veronica reached the back gate she realized that she had stopped shrinking. Perhaps she had a chance, it would be difficult but she could probably manage to activate the device even at this size. First however she had to get past the gate. She couldn't open it, but at her tiny size she figured she could squeeze underneath. Veronica got down to crawl under the gate when a hand suddenly grabbed her and snatched her up. Veronica turned her head to see that it was Dilton. Veronica began sobbing as she realized the ironic turnabout that had just happened. "Well now isn't this just interesting," Dilton commented with a sinister chuckle as he held Veronica in his fist. Veronica pounded on Dilton's fist. While she was now quite tiny Veronica still had the muscular and busty body she had gained. However her fists were not enough to make Dilton let her go. Dilton made his way into his house and down to the basement. He took Veronica over to what appeared to be a large hamster cage sitting on top of a scale and placed Veronica inside and then shut the cage. "You won't get away with this Dilton!" Veronica shouted at him. "People will come looking for me! You can't imprison me!" Dilton simply laughed. "I'm pretty that I can and will get away with this," Dilton replied. "If I am not mistaken you were the one that went on a rampage through Riverdale. In fact there's already a video on YouTube of you eating a police officer, oh my. Well you are quite the monster, I must say. With everything you did I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be lauded as a hero. I'm the one that stopped the big rampaging billionaire heiress. I might get a medal." Dilton then leaned back down towards the cage, his face looming large over Veronica. "And even if you hadn't gone on this rampage, it wouldn't be the first time I've covered up a disappearance," Dilton said sinisterly. "So don't worry about being lonely in there, you've got some company." Dilton eyes then looked towards a dark corner of the cage and Veronica looked to see a figure emerge. Veronica had been expecting to see a hamster, mouse or rat but instead what emerged was the missing Cheryl Blossom. Cheryl was the same size as Veronica and also looked to be more muscular and busty than when she had disappeared. Cheryl looked at Dilton terrified. "I'll leave you girls to get reacquainted with each other," Dilton said with a chuckle. ****************************************************************************** ****** One Month Later... Things had gone almost exactly how Dilton had predicted. Dilton was praised as a hero for helping save Riverdale from Veronica and her giantess rampage. One thing he had been off on, was receiving a medal. Dilton had actually received three. One from Riverdale, one from the state governor and one from President Hillary Clinton herself. Dilton had claimed that he had disintegrated Veronica as the only way to stop her. Veronica had nobody in the media defending her. Even her own father had publicly disowned Veronica, mostly as a move to save the stock price of Lodge Corp, which had taken a hit. Most nights Dilton would take Veronica and Cheryl out of their cage and sadistically torment them. He would taunt them about how small they now were compared to him and poke and prod them. He would quite literally get off on the pleasure of tormenting them, masturbating and spraying his load on the tiny girls. ****************************************************************************** ****** Betty Cooper was walking home with Dilton. The curfew was still in place and the two of them had been reassigned as buddies. As far as Betty knew Dilton was a hero who had saved Riverdale, she had no idea that he was the one responsible for Veronica even being able to go on a rampage in the first place, nor that he was responsible for Cheryl's disappearance. "You know Dilton, while it's sad that Reggie got killed during Veronica's rampage I'm glad that I ended up with you as my new buddy," Betty said. "Me too Betty, me too," Dilton replied. Dilton turned his head away from her and smiled. Betty was so gullible it would be easy to add her to his "collection". To Be Continued...
