Jenna in Tonya By Avida Dolor Jenna in the all-girl prison Part 1 Copyright 1997 Avida Dolor My first week in stir: We wake up at 7 a.m. to The Quadriceps: The Four- Headed Monster, Volume 2 of the Tina Lockwood motivational tape series called How to Get Legs So Big You'll Need a Second Brain to Control Them. Bonnie, that's my roomie, has a fucking Bose cassette/clock/radio, in addition to a killer Panasonic Platinum Series CD boombox. Way cool. TV in the lounge only, I'm afraid, but we control the lounge. I leap out of bed ready for another day of, well, like, fun. I'm supposed to be in jail, but I can't help it, I'm enjoying myself. Breakfasts are great; pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, hot cereal, it's like a Carnival cruise, 'cept you stand on line with a tray and all the kitchen help is Mexican. It's the Tonya Harding Correctional Facility for Girls up the coast in Santa Rauncho, for those of you who haven't read of my unfortunate locker room liplock with a demented drama princess in Babbling Brooke, and I'm in for a year, there's no time off for good behavior. Assault and battery, possession of an unlicensed concealed weapon. The fact that it's concealed is crucial; if I had a rifle in my locker it wouldn't have been as bad. They say I got off easy, actually, considering the charges; my wrestling trophies worked in my favor, I could've gotten another year for the gun. Brooke's gun. Anyway, I'll be 18 well before I get out, but that's OK here; you can be sentenced to a year if you're under 18, and when you turn "adult" you don't have to transfer to the big house. Thank my lucky stars for that, whatever ones I have left. The big house is no fun. There are Mexicans and blacks in the big house, and they all carry improvised knives. Shivs, shanks. Shivs make me shiver. Shanks, but no shanks, I'm not into lacerations. Contusions, fine, I have no problem with contusions. There are plenty of contusions available, but no shivs or shanks in Tonya. No Mexicans or blacks either. There's some kind of racial segregation experiment underway in the interests of controlling gang violence, so everyone in Tonya is as white as Tonya herself, and most are as trashy, though we do have some girls here who obviously grew up with silver coke spoons up their noses. We live in dorm rooms, not cells, just like at a party school, and we have roomies, not cellmates, and there's a big TV lounge with a VCR and all kinds of sports and arts and crafts activities, a computer room and a great weight room, tons of equipment. Lifting is happening here bigtime, almost everyone works out, and the bigger your arms the bigger your rep. So I showed up with 16 inches of rep. Well, a lot more, really; I actually had fans the moment I arrived. There are chicks here who followed my high school wrestling career--goddamnit, it hurts to put that in the past tense- -and they even have jerkoff tapes, as they call them, of all the matches that were shown on local cable. I'm sort of a celebrity. Get this: there was a bare fists tournament to be my roomie. No shit. Girls were willing to get beat up to sleep with me. Bonnie, bless her big beating heart, took out three very tough cookies to win the honor of bunking under me (literally, you might say). Now, is this devotion, or what? The first day I'm here, I'm unpacking in the room and Bonnie is hovering around me like a mother hen. A 6-foot, 190-pound gorgeous mother hen who ovulates like an elephant. Bonnie is a big, beautiful 16-year-old freckled redhead, a heavily muscled, voluptuously fleshed super-boobed sweetheart who when she gets mean will tear your head off and shit down your proverbial neck, as Brooke threatened to do to me before I broke her jaw. Bonnie is in for beating a girl so bad during an attempted rip-off at a drug deal that it was called malicious wounding. It was just her bad luck that the crooked pot seller happened to be the mayor of Santa Perva's wayward daughter. They threw the book at poor Bonnie, the unabridged version with the heavy-duty binding: two and a half years, she was only 15 at the time. I turn to her, she's breathing all over me as I unpack, hot fragrant breath that's fogging my brain, and she says, "Do you think you'll like me, Jenna?" "Do I think I'll like you? I like you already. What's not to like?" "No, I mean, do you think you'll like being my lover? I so much wanted to be your roomie!" "Bonnie, it'll be my privilege to be your lover. If you weren't so big I'd sleep in the same bed with you every night." "Oh, Jenna, I'm so glad you like me," Bonnie coos. We embrace and kiss and Bonnie's tongue is filling my mouth like sweet sausage. "I had to hurt three good girls, girls I like, to get to be your roommate." Come again? Yeah, that's the way disputes are settled at Tonya, I learned. No knives--fists. And feet, elbows and knees. Full contact tough gal-style fighting in the ring, no pads on the strike surfaces, and the warden, Mrs. Marlow, is the ref. A steel-jacketed dyke, but, just like fat Mrs. Becker at high school, she's married. These women must hang their husbands on a rack whey they're done playing with them. Anyway, no kidding about Bonnie's fights, I saw them, they were videotaped, as all the fights are. Fighting is prime entertainment at Tonya. We made popcorn, there's a microwave in the lounge. No one made it past the first round with her though, so the whole thing took about six minutes. Bonnie has the slowness of the huge, but she hits like a tank and her defense is pregnantly impregnable. No one could get to her without getting tagged really bad, none of her opponents was over 5-8. But they all fought her gamely just to room with me. I'm still flipped out by this, and I've been here over a week. I've met them all, and they all tossed my salad, even the ones with swollen lips. Salad tossing is the standard means of paying homage around here. For those not in the kneel-and-deal know, tossing a salad is eating someone's ass like it was half a waddymelon and you just finished a summerlong stretch on the chaingang. It's the lap of luxury, and you've gotta keep at it till the tossee is good and wet, at which time it's traditional to flit the clit till said tossee comes likes an emergency sprinkler system. Needless to say, it's really important to keep a clean ass around here, which is why there are boxes of baby wipes in all the bathrooms and every Saturday after lunch is enema hour. But let's get to the crutch-aided crux of this little story. The party abruptly turned sour when I got kneecapped on day eight. Kneecapping is popular at Tonya, as you'd expect. Making patella pancakes, the girls like to call it. Weighted plumbing is what you usually get hit with, there's a lot of spare pipe in the basement level, and I got nailed by two Nancies--a Nancy is what we call those who are not Tonyalicious--blindsided, of course, and spunky little Lee Ann saved me, or I would've got brained, not just 'capped. Nancies, to be more specific, are girls not officially affiliated with the gang that runs the place, the Hards, as they're known, sometimes affectionately referred to as the Ton Ton My How Cute. We love Charles Mingus' Haitian Fight Song, but our favorite piece of music is of course The Skater's Waltz. The head Hard is a big blonde named Stephanie, better known as Def Stef, but I haven't met her yet, she's in solitary behind locked corridor doors way down at the end of D Block. Seems she nearly strangled a Nancy to death about two weeks ago--the stranglee was throttled so bad she got whiplash, and she's still wearing a safety collar, she has some kind of pinched nerve problem, I saw her in the cafeteria (her name's Nora, and she used to be called Nora the Snorer, named by her roomie, but now she's known as Nora the Neck). Stef's not due to mingle with the general pop for another month. Too bad, 'cause she is a serious looker, built like a cinder block cathouse with arms as big as her head, Bonnie and some other high-echelon Hards have Polaroids of her taped up in their rooms. Who's in charge in the meantime is none other than bonny Bonnie, who is the Hard chief enforcer and now acting general. I am presently in the infirmary with a knee swollen about as big as my head, by the way, but initial x-rays indicate no serious damage has been sustained. But I'm getting way ahead of myself. I'm also getting way good head from Bonnie right now, she's been allowed to move into the infirmary with me for protection, there could be a second attack, she's suckling my nether heather like a hummingbird on 'roids. So Brooke got her revenge, kind of. It appears that she hired these skanks over the phone to cripple me--phone privileges are virtually unlimited here, you can pay to have a phone in your room and almost everyone does---for the whopping sum of $5,000, though we don't know who her original contact is inside. They wouldn't do it for less, it's kind of a suicide attack. Retaliation is unavoidable in this closed arena. Brooke's broken nose and jaw are not sitting well on her face, cracked kissers don't go over big with the drama set. She pulled the right strings and set up a kneejob in no time, little Miss Efficiency. I'm sure her rich parents or one of her wealthy college boyfriends put up the money. But, as I said, I'm getting way ahead of myself. My knee is bothering me, or maybe it's the painkillers they gave me, I can't concentrate, but let's recap, so to speak. They got me late at night in the long, lonely basement corridor that leads from the laundry room to the ping pong palace. I shouldn't have walked it alone, that was dumb. One hailed me from the front, this was a tall, skinny pimply girl name of Joan, known as Joan the Bone, something about her strap-on, almost everyone's got a nickname here, some shit about, "Don't I know you from high school?" while the other-- Sarah the Shitass, as she's known, she doesn't favor the use of baby wipes- -took out my right leg from the southeast with one wicked swipe that put me down like a string-snapped marionette. The only reason this psycho bitch didn't get to tee off on my head was at that moment lithe, little Lee Ann, a cute-as-a-button brunette, popped out of ping pong and ran at the pipe swiper in a mad sprint, screaming at the top of her lungs. A bold move, since Shitass is 5-9, 170, and has spent plenty of time with her shitty ass squeezed hard against a bench where she presses an easy 225 for reps. Shitass swung on Lee Ann and delivered only a glancing mistimed blow to her forearm. Lee Ann closed and grappled and ripped off Shitass' ski mask-- yeah, the girl was kneecapping incognito--but Shitass threw her down and took off, 'cause by now some other girls came running to check out the commotion. So Lee Ann, all 5-2 and 120 pounds of her, wailed into Joan the Bone and beat her so badly all her pimples popped. Joan, in fact, is not in the infirmary; she was remanded to Santa Rauncho County Hospital with a broken collarbone, cheekbone and a severe concussion. OK, she was in a coma for a few hours. Her Bone is probably leaking marrow. Lee Ann is a tough little girl, her 120 is all muscle, and it turns out she's got a brown belt in tae kwon do. When I get out of the infirmary, I have every intention of tossing her salad with her choice of undressing. So I sat there on the floor wailing "Why?! Why me!? Why, oh God, why!?" as I gripped my whipped stick in traditional Ton Ton fashion, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Lee Ann kick Joan like she was a torture doll. Now, of course, vengeance is mine, regarding Shitass. She was supposed to do this deed unID'd; Joan would claim she was just asking an innocent question when this masked assailant whisked by in a flash. As if we wouldn't figure it out in five minutes anyway. Shitass was simply willing to get wasted for her cut of the five grand, which I'm sure was at least 80 percent of it. But all that went to hell thanks to Lee Ann, so Shitass repaired to her room and skulked there expecting the worst, like maybe a lynching party. Warden Marlow apologized to me personally on behalf of the Harding staff and suggested that when my leg heals I meet Shitass in the ring of judgment to settle this matter, or, if I preferred, I could name a stand-in to fight Shitass tomorrow. Bonnie instantly nominated herself for the task, which was fine with me, as long as they wheeled me into the gym to watch the slaughter. And they did. Cut to the fight: I'm in a wheelchair at ringside, my right knee in a gyroscopically weighted flexi-rack, which bazoomy Nurse Church calls the space brace, and I'm stoned out of my mind on really fine sinsemilla. Did I mention the great drugs they have in here? The entire population has turned out for this fight, that's about 160 girls at the moment, it's actually undercrowded in here, and I'm sitting in the aisle right next to my second best bud, Lee Ann, who just smoked some best buds herself and is all glassy-eyed and giggly with anticipation. Shitass has been in protective solitary since she was picked up in her room after the attack; her roomie, by the way, is Joan. These girls aren't too smart. But most of the Nancies aren't. That's why they're Nancies; they're dumb, ugly, practice poor personal hygiene or some combination of the three, or else they're in for something that's just too weird, like sodomizing their blind grandma with a 24-inch black anodized aluminum riot baton. Bonnie ran down her plans to destroy Shitass a few minutes ago in the locker room, where she looked so good shadow boxing I think her shadow fucked her. Round 1: hurt her gradually, jab a lot, pound kidneys in the clinches, lay off the right. Round 2: hurt her some more gradually with the jab, pound kidneys in the clinches, lay off the right. Round 3: gradually hurt her with the jab, pound kidneys in the clinches, lay off the right. Round 4: kill her without making her fall down until just before the bell. Use the right, but not so hard as to lay her out. Then top it off with the knee, which will break anything in her face that isn't yet broken. These are four-round fights, three minutes a round. The girls get to wear headgear--it's some kind of ridiculous state law--but there are no gloves, no elbow or knee pads, you can strike with any part of your body except your head. No grabbing, pulling--except behind the head for knee delivery-- gouging or hitting when someone's down. The ref is supposed to keep clinches short and sweet, doling out discretionary standing eights, and the ref, as I mentioned, is Mrs. Marlow, she's a champ and a Hard-hearted woman, which is to say she's on our side. The girls are wearing shorts and tank tops, they're barefoot, and they get the usual mouthpieces and groin and breast protection. Shitass Sarah would normally be a formidable opponent; she's got size, strength, and the girls tell me she's a good fighter, she did this before against a pretty tough Hard and beat the girl silly. But against Bonnie she's toast. I'm kinda wistful about that, 'cause Shitass Sarah is sorta cute. She's a porcelain-skinned 17-year-old short-haired brunette with haughty patrician features--including a fine straight nose that has clearly never been broken--and her bod is mucho hard. Small superfirm breasts, big pecs that she jerks nervously a lot, the kind of body tic I like. She'd be a great Ton Ton if it weren't for the fact that she's got a shitty ass. And shortly she will have a very shitty ass, 'cause Bonnie is gonna beat the shit right out of it. My big Bon enters the ring looking geometrically slam glam: big rounded shoulders; big rounded masses of upper arm; big round fists with knuckles popping off them like concussion grenades; orbital thighs, cannonball calves, uber boobs, she's all rounded forms, some sort of spherical study in sensory stupefaction. Shitass is looking pretty good, too, though that thousand-yard stare of resignation on her face doesn't bode well for her going almost the full four. In Bon's corner is the Head first lieutenant, Tiffany, a drop-dead gorgeous surf bleachie with 15-inch arms who hospitalized two 12-year-old boys who were messing around with her kid sister. In Shitass' corner is old scuzzy Ethel, one of the guards, an overweight matron who, rumor has it, likes to be fucked by her pet dogs. Shitass is persona non gracias since she laid pipe on me, no Nancy'll touch her. The girls come out at the bell to a wild whooping din from the crowd, and Bonnie circles and jabs, feinting well for such a big bull. Shitass pushes some tentative kicks, ducks in low and tries an uppercut that bounces off a massive forearm, then goes for a clinch and punches Bonnie in her protected ears while Bonnie punches her in her unprotected kidneys. Marlow breaks the clinch and Shitass, fast of hand, snaps in a real nice right to Bonnie's mouth on the backoff, bloodying her lip. Shit, first blood for Ass. Bonnie is clearly enraged, wiping her lip with her hand, and flexing her fists like she was pumping up her knuckles, but she has to remain cool, we want this thing to last. They circle again, some more ineffective kicks from Shitass, then Bonnie traps her in a corner and lands a wicked left to the body that doubles Ass over, and, like a reflex, Bonnie's big knee comes up and catches Ass in the maw like a front-end collision. Bon, a knee-jerkin' jerk, lost her head, and Ass is now in danger of losing hers. She's now straightened back up, her arms too high, and Bonnie works a combination to the body that's hard enough to break ribs. Ass, in deep trouble, is now doubled over again, hands up in front of her face anticipating the knee, and Bonnie wisely backs off giving the girl room to move even before Marlow calls for a standing eight. Ass, holding onto the ropes, gets what amounts to a panting standing 32, but she's a little unsteady coming out of the corner, and there's blood smeared all over her mouth, like she was in a plasma pie eating contest, but she's got her hands up and she's ready to fight. She circles, jabs, catches a good jab from Bonnie, then lunges in low under a loping right and scores with a left hook to the tit that makes Bonnie grimace, but before she can counter, Ass has struck again with a right to the chin, then she quickly grabs the head looking to drive the knee, but Bonnie's Hard head isn't coming down, her back and traps swell, this big 170-pound girl can't pull Bon's bull neck low enough, and Bonnie slash blocks Ass' arms right off of her and puts a short right on the girl's nose that opens it up like a hot water tap, blood is running into Ass' mouth, and Marlow steps in fast for a standing eight, obviously looking to prolong the suffering, the wily wonder warden. The capacity crowd is hooting like hyenas, chanting "Bon- knee, Bon-knee," but after a little more circling and jabbing, during which Ass gets her head snapped several times with lefts to the eyes--Bonnie really whips a wicked whistler for her size--the round ends. Well, Number 1 was a total success. I'm right below Bon, facing Ass' corner, and her face is a mess. Sore Ass has swelling around both eyes and a bloody nose and mouth with fattened lips. Her nose is probably broken and some ribs may be too, she's breathing kinda bent and wheezy, it's written all over her face like a paingram. Ethel is mopping her down with a big sponge like she was a nag heading for the glue factory. This is great. Ass comes out gamely for Round 2, but Bonnie catches her right away with a really smashing jab, then follows with a right uppercut that catches Ass on the jaw and lifts her in the air a few inches. Whoops. It's clear she's gonna go down from this punch, and Bonnie rushes in to bull her into the corner and bounce her off the turnbuckle, then she starts working over her body, keeping her standing with just the force of the blows, and after about a dozen thudding body punches, she pulls the head down and drives the knee three times, blood sheeting up like windshield washer, before letting Ass drop on her broken face. Well, so much for the four-round plan. Ass is probably in a coma now and she was no doubt unconscious after the second knee, maybe the first. Bonnie takes a victory walk around the ring to the wild cheers of the crowd, blood and mucus running down the front of her massive leg from the clot of gore that's clinging to the battering ram she was high steppin' with. She shoots me a sheepish look as Marlow makes the official announcement: a KO at 1:27 of the second round. Back in the infirmary, Bonnie is all apologies: "Jenna, I'm so sorry, I don't know my own strength, that right hand got away from me, I knew it was over as soon as it landed, so I had to wipe her out right then." "Well, you really wiped her out. No problem, forget about it." Ass was taken to Santa Rauncho County to rejoin her roomie. She was conscious when the ambulance left, so I guess she won't die or be a vegetable or something. In fact, now that I think about it, the not so total beating she got from Bonnie may have been worth four grand. Maybe I'll have to beat her up myself when we're both back on our feet to get my proper revenge. Then Lee Ann, who's wheeling around in my chair getting a good forearm pump, chirps up with, "Hey, Jenna, why don't you put out a hit on Brooke? I have friends on the outside who'd love to do her for you, no charge." "Me too," says Bonnie with a hopeful smile. "I know a great hitter who'll break Brooke's legs for you, like, totally gratis, she's a fan." "Who?" I ask. "Her name's Hairy Mary, she's got, like, a lot of body hair, buy only in good places, and she's real tough, way tougher than me. She'll do Brooke no sweat. I can call her right now." "Who do you know, Lee Ann?" "Well, most of my friends from before I got busted would do this kind of a favor for me." (Lee Ann's in for drug dealing, by the way, she used to specialize in psychedelics, and her informed opinion of my Brooke experience is Brooke was doing PCP. But of course this can never be proven, Brooke wasn't blood tested, just blood spattered.) "But they're not, like, experienced hitters," Lee Ann adds. "This Hairy Mary sounds pretty good. How big is she, Bon?" "Oh, shit, bigger than me. About 6-1, 210 maybe." "Lemme think about it, Bon," I go. "Everything is cool for the moment. It's not like I've been crippled, I'll be up and around in a few days. We've got plenty of time to nail Brooke if we want to." I lie back and try to decide if I want to ask Lee Ann to get on the bed and straddle my face for a richly deserved toss, when she pops up with, "You should really put a hit on Brooke right now, Jen, it's the last thing she's expecting. You get somebody to break her legs in the next day or two, you'll really take her by surprise. She'll probably have a heart attack, she'll be so shocked." "Assuming she hasn't got any spies in here, now that Sarah and Joan are gone, Brooke doesn't know how badly you've been hurt, anyway," muses Bon. "She may think you're out of action." "She could call Santa Rauncho County and find out I'm not there. That would give her a good idea I didn't suffer serious knee damage." We're assuming Shitass phoned Brooke right after the hit and told her the truth--she got in one good blow and that was all, injury to be determined at a later date. Which suggests the possibility that Brooke is planning another strike, or has already set one in motion. You never can tell around here. There are about 40 Nancies on campus right now, some of them very hard up for cash and very hard in the heart, though not Hard hearted, which is to say they'll risk certain retribution if the money's right, just like stinky Sarah. And most of them are as hard in body as in mind. Nancies have even more motivation to lift heavy than Tons do, since they don't run with a protective pack. Anyway, the upshot is Lee Ann and Bon talked me into calling in a favor with this fearsome Hairy Mary character, and Bon jumped on the infirmary horn to set it all up. It would be nice to get Brooke in the Santa Chucho High locker room just like Brooke got me--the girl's gym is usually deserted in the late afternoon--but Brooke probably isn't working out, she has a wired jaw and cracked ribs. Hairy Mary will have to scope out the situation for a few days, and find the right time and place to strike. Don't worry, she's on the case. "Why would anyone do something like this for you for free, Bon?" I demand. "This Mary doesn't even know Brooke." "This Mary loves me from way back," says Bon. "We grew up on the same block, she was the patient when all of us played gyno. The girl had a full thatch of pubic hair when she was 7. I was 5 at the time, and I was pretty impressed. I mean, I didn't have a bush till I was 9." "Oh. Cool. And she's really stronger than you?" "She could outbench me before I got busted, and I'm sure she can outbench me now." "Awesome." Bon can bench almost twice her weight when she's in the mood. So the next day I'm back in the room on crutches, and that night we do a salad shooter--I toss Lee Ann's salad while Bonnie tosses mine, then we eat each other in a triple dip on the floor. It was a little tough with my leg brace, but I made it work. Lee Ann's ass is so sweet it's like ordering the pineapple platter at the House of Luau. Lee Ann hasn't got a real nickname, though sometimes she's called Lil' Lee, but I've started calling her Sweetass, and she calls me Takedown, as in Jenna Takedown. Bon is just called Big Bon. We three got tight real fast, and Tiffany, who rooms with Lee Ann, known as Tiff the Spliff since she buys tons of dope, makes a very fine fourth wheel indeed. Anyway, nothing much happened the next couple days, 'cept I smoked a lot of dope, ate a lot of seafood and salad and did a lot of seated upper bod work in the gym. Mary was calling in every day with progress reports, and she said it looked like she would soon have a perfect setup, 'cause she had actually befriended Brooke, quite by accident. She was standing behind her in a card store while Brooke was flipping through the latest issue of Sinfully Sinew magazine, when Brooke looked over her shoulder, got a load of the busty amazon standing there in shorts and a micro tee, thick black tufts of armpit hair puffing out from the little sleevelets and a fine line of kinky black curls running from the pubic line up to the deep and inviting navel, and Brooke just started to come on to Mary like they were doing Ecstasy at Debbie's Diesel Dive on Shave Your Slave Night. Seems Brooke has taken a serious shine to muscle girls these days; witness her unprovoked sexual assault on me. Well, unprovoked in that all I did was take off my pungent workout sweats in front of her. OK, it was provoked. Anyway, Brooke took Mary out to dinner--Mary, Bon insists, is a major looker if you like the big, brutal cutoff jeans and hiking boots type, and who doesn't--and it seems Brooke is indeed working out in the gym and spending a lot of time in the whirlpool for her damaged ribs. And her jaw is not wired after all, the getup she was wearing at my hearing was mostly a phony. I didn't break her jaw, after all, I just bruised it. Mary personally testifies that Brooke can kiss like a fish. So, anyway, Mary has been invited to settle her big self in the whooshy water with her new bosom bud. They're working out and soaking together, how cozy. Two days pass, and that's the last we hear from Mary; she's incommunicado, doesn't answer the phone or e-mail. On the third day, Bon checks with some of Mary's friends; she's not at home, they haven't seen her, nothing. Bon is worried. So am I. I feel responsible for all this. A couple more days pass. Mary is missing. She's disappeared. No one's seen her. Friends of mine in town report Brooke is OK and going about her business, and no Hairy Mary is ever seen with her. Then I get a letter in the mail from somebody signed Toosmart, no return address, of course. It's neatly typed on plain paper--Mrs. Marlow says it looks like your standard IBM Selectric--and this is what it says: "Dear jailbait: How's your knee? Heard you had an accident. Hope you're up and around soon, but be careful where you walk, you know? I have a very sad story to tell you about an acquaintance of yours. Seems this acquaintance of yours, a very big girl who looks like she really knows how to take care of herself, insinuated herself with a very fast-lane actress, a rather big and capable girl herself, and the two were cavorting naked in a jacuzzi when the very big girl who looks like she really knows how to take care of herself tried to break the actress' long beautiful legs. Unfortunately for the very big girl, she didn't know the actress had a 6-inch fillet knife sitting under her backpack within easy reach at the edge of the jacuzzi, and the very big girl had an incision made in her belly, right along the very sexy line of black hair that runs from her bellybutton to the top of her unbelievable pubic jungle. This incision, it seems, was very deep, and the water in the jacuzzi began turning red in a matter of seconds, and the very big girl went into a sort of panic and got out of the jacuzzi, her big strong chest was heaving wildly and all her gut muscles were writhing, and some of her intestine popped out of her belly the incision was so deep, and her amazing overgrowth of pubic hair was getting all red and sticky, and then she slipped on her own blood and fell back into the jacuzzi and the actress put down her knife and grabbed the very big girl with both hands around the neck and dunked her head under the water and held her there, but the very big girl thrashed around like a harpooned whale and got her head back out of the water and sucked down a big breath. But the actress, who hits very hard, punched her repeatedly with a phoenix eye fist in the neck and head and then applied a sleeper hold and forced the very big girl under the water again, and really put her broad back into it, and this time the very big girl didn't have the strength to find her way to the air, the water was swirling a deep red, her limbs were twitching pathetically, and she died like that, drowned while bleeding to death, while the actress came like a bitch, rubbing her swollen clit all over the very big girl's very hard- muscled, hairy-cracked ass. The actress drained the jacuzzi, hosed it down and refilled it, and packed the very big girl up in a steamer trunk and disposed of her where she'll never be found. It's a great but sad story and I thought you'd want to hear it, jailbait. Do keep in touch." Well, this threw us for a fucking loop. Bonnie was going nuts, she believed every word of it. She was talking about the necessity of breaking out of Tonya in order to exact a personal revenge. I tried to calm her down any way I could: "Bonnie, this story has got to be a crock. If Brooke killed Mary, she wouldn't admit to it, even anonymously. She's not that crazy." "And she couldn't dispose of the body, it makes no sense," Lee Ann offers. "You couldn't even fit someone as big as Mary in a trunk. And how could Brooke move it? Mary weighs 210. Where'd she get the trunk from in the first place? It's insane." "You told me Brooke was pretty damn strong," says Bonnie, trying to breathe deep and check her anger. "She almost beat you up, Jen. I don't see any reason why she couldn't drown Mary if she stabbed her first. The poor girl, her fucking guts were coming out . . ." Tears well up again in Bon's eyes, and she's smacking her fists against her sides like she's going nuts. I'm having trouble assimilating this grief, since I never met Mary and don't really know her from a hole in the wall. I'm trying to keep in mind that Bon used to play Put Your Feet in the Stirrups with the girl, and it wasn't horsie. We eventually agree to have Mrs. Marlow call Mrs. Becker at the school, the security dyke, and find out if something amiss was going on in the gym. The word back is no signs of foul play were reported, and none were discovered. No one has been found who saw Brooke or Mary enter or leave the school on the day in question, or on any day, since we're not even sure what the day in question is. Mrs. Becker mentions the letter to Brooke, and Brooke, of course, denies any knowledge of any of this, says it's just part of my ongoing vendetta against her. I probably had a friend on the outside type it, maybe Mary herself. I wish. In the meantime, a week passes and there's not hair nor hide of Mary. We all agree that another hit has to be made on Brooke, we're just arguing about how to go about it. Bonnie is negotiating with Mrs. Marlow for a "furlough" to go out and do the deed herself. And she intends to kill Brooke, dismember her and possibly eat her. Like, Bonnie is royally ticked. Mrs. Marlow, understandably, is reluctant to let someone loose to commit a deranged homicide. Then we look over the list of Hards who are due to be released in the next couple weeks, but no one with the makings of a hired killer is eligible. Then we look at the list of short-timer Nancies, and Lee Ann and Bon fix on one name right away: Pissy Paula. She's a water sports freak, who rooms, of course, with her soul mate, Pissy Missy, and Paula's the dom to Missy's femme, no doubt about that. Missy is a tiny 110-pound whippet, while Paula is a 5-9, 175-pound brute who's got the biggest guns of any Nancy in Tonya, they run about 17 inches hot. The thing is, Paula's time is up in a week, and Missy has six months to go. They're in love. They're so in love, Paula was trying to get her sentence extended for bad behavior, but they'd only send her to the big house. So our plan is to threaten Paula with what we can do to Missy during her six months without her bladder buddy. We can bust her up real bad, ruin her kidneys or something. We pay a visit to the tinkle twins to talk it over. Paula is spread out on her bed in the stark fucking nude, looking so damn good I almost forget why we came in. She's deep-tanned and contest lean, all rippling abs and pec-projected titties, she's got a splendid thickly nippled rack that bulges high and hard like implants but they're real. Fuckin' wow. And if her sweet brown bush is a little damp, well, who cares? Missy is conveniently missing when we settle in; seems she's doing the laundry, and you can bet these girls have a lot of it. "So, Paula," says Bon. "You're out in a week." "Yeah. What's it to you girls? You can't have eyes for Missy, she's not your type." "We want to protect Missy," says Lee Ann, "but you have to do us a favor in order to earn the maximum protection for her." Paula scratches idly at one of her sinew-strung thighs. "What's the favor?" "We want you do a hit on the outside. A fucking psycho chick who offed one of my best friends, who ordered the kneecapping on Jenna, and who's the chick who put Jenna in here in the first place." Paula looks at me pointedly. I'm wearing a halter top and track shorts and I must say I'm looking awful sexy with my wooden old man cane that I got from Nurse Church--I'm past the crutches stage--and an Ace bandage on my knee. Sexy in that gimpy sort of strong but vulnerable way that says I can't squeeze you in a scissors but we sure can scissor together, girl. "You know," she says to me, "you and I haven't talked since you got in, but I've always been, like, a fan of yours. I like your style." I smile and realize I have to pee. "Well, thanks, I appreciate it. I think I'm a fan of yours too. Your body's the shit, girl." "Thanks," says Paula, making a point of scratching behind her ear, which causes her right bicep to swell like someone just inflated a football with an industrial tire pump, and her rack shifts on a muscle-taut hinge so her right nipple is practically poking her in the eye. "But what do you mean, a hit? What kind of hit?" We discussed this before we came in, so we know what to say. "Preferably, a kill," Bonnie explains, trying to be real matter of fact about it. "For a kill, you not only get the royal treatment for Missy--she'd be under the personal care of the Hards' top command--but you'll get five thousand bucks cash. Half before, half after. How do you feel about a kill?" Paula sits up on the bed, fingering herself absentmindedly, her spectacular forearms working like an overstrung mass of vein cable, as she shakes her head in the negative. "Come on, girls. I'm not a contract killer. I'm in here for auto theft, not even for fighting." Yeah, Paula had this thing about Camaros and Firebirds, it seems. Like, weird, for a girl. "But you can fight, right?" asks Lee Ann. "Didn't you put that big Nance in the hospital a few months ago in the ring, what was her name? Rockin' Rhonda." Oh, she put Rockin' Rhonda in the hospital, all right. We got the tape out of the video library last night and watched it twice. Awesome. Kneed her in the chest so hard in round three she broke her sternum and partially collapsed both her lungs. Then KO'd her with a left hook that put the girl's mouthpiece in the bleachers and pinged some of her molars off the ceiling fans. Rhonda's new nickname was Rocked On Rhonda. No Hard even thought about challenging Paula after that, never mind a Nance, nor did anyone have any reason to challenge her. She keeps to herself. Doesn't even use the bathroom much. "Yeah, I fought Rhonda in the ring, and yeah, I put her lights out something nasty. But I'm not a killer. You want me to hurt someone, let's talk." "All right," says Bon. "You don't have to kill this girl, just cripple her. The royal carpet for Missy and $2,500. Double kneecaps. She can spend the rest of her life wheeling around on a fucking dolly, I can live with that." "Who's the girl?" So Paula gets the lowdown on Brooke, and agrees to do the job. We'll be in phone contact from the moment she gets out. Missy comes in as we're getting ready to leave. She's a real cute natural blonde, the whipcord pixie type, wiry like a dancer, and the first thing she says is, "Baby, I gotta pee something wicked." I want to ask if I can stay and join the party, since by now my bladder is bursting, but I'm afraid Bonnie might find this kind of frivolous. So I'm overjoyed the next morning when I get an intraTonya e-mail from Paula inviting me over for a beer party tonight in her room. Yes, imported cold beer is available by the case here, for a fee. I'm bringing extra panties and a bathing cap. --30--
