Two days after graduation ceremonies, Wanda and her bully gang had one last
bit of unfinished business to attend to. The school principle, Koestler, had
some paper work to attend to for the week after school let out. There were
times during the course of the day when he was on campus quite alone. Thursday
morning he was seated in his office glaring at a large tray full of complaints
from parents and teachers that were demanding his resignation. He knew he was
not going to get through the year unscathed but this mountain of mail was
emotionally killing him. Just then Wanda burst in to his office. She was
wearing a white muscle t shirt with the words" Spoiled Rotten" in a graffiti
font. She announced that she was there to keep her part of the bargain but
that they had to go out to the parking lot. As they walked, Koestler noticed a
small paper bag Wanda was carrying and a large manila envelope. When they
reached a clearing, Wanda spun around and dangled the bag in mid air. She
said: "the video and all the pictures are in this little goody-bag, now let's
see the cash" she demanded. No one, not even her friends, knew that Wanda had
sweetened the blackmail, even more, in her favor. Three hours before she
arrived she phoned Koestler and said $5000, 00 in cash and the video was sold.
Koestler handed her the money and before she gave him the precious bag she
made him sign a receipt and confession that the five-thousand was hush
money.He signed the document quickly and Wanda stuffed it back in to the
manila envelope. Little did Koestler know that the entire exchange was being
videotaped by Heather who was behind a large hedge in front of the science
lab. Wanda held out the bag and Koestler seized it like a hungry dog. "I do
have a little parting gift Mr. Koestler" she matter-of-factly said. Suddenly
two muscular arms reached around Koestler from behind and restrained him
tightly. It was the classic hold you give someone when you want to "sucker
punch" them. Wanda lifted her knee in to his groin and the then in rapid fire
punched his stomach continually and when he doubled over too much she'd give
him an upper cut. Nona and Rhonda let go and Koestler slumped to the asphalt.
Wanda kneeled down and whispered in his ear "if you try to tell the truth
about anything that transpired this last year, I hope you'll think twice about
this pain you're feeling first. Wanda and her girls walked away leaving
Koestler panting for breath and agonizing about his future.

Chapter 5: the Driving Force: The Series of articles in the La Habra Star were
incredibly popular. Even street editions were selling out and readers were
riveted to the Wanda saga. Now, however, the letters to the editor were asking
to explain what it was the made Wanda so sinister? Was she just plain evil?
Was she a secret Satanist? Or was there something else which made her so
obsessed with bullying? Was there a troubled childhood? Low self esteem? The
next set of articles would address these issues but would require some
digression.

Back when her father"Jammin" Jerry Jorgenson, was still alive and successfully
boxing, he was invited to an exhibition match in Bangladesh with India's
champion Vuta Khosla. While in India his hosts took him and his daughter out
for a day of sightseeing. The guide asked if they'd be interested in some
unusual, out-of-the-way places and Jorgenson and his daughter consented. The
excursion took a half day but the small van made it to a backward country
called Bhutan. The famous "tiger's nest monastery" which was built in to a
Himalayan mountain was a rare find for any tourist. They walked through the
amazing edifice and one of the Buddhist priests approached Jerry with a
strange looking amulet. The priest's English was quite broken but he
complimented Jerry on his extraordinary physique. The priest continued by
asking who he was and what brought him to Bhutan. After Jerry gave the priest
the run down of facts concerning their visit, the priest revealed his purpose
in speaking to Jerry and his daughter and what this unusual piece of jewelry
was. He told Jerry and Wanda in confidence that legend has it that 300 years
ago Bhutan's greatest king was strong- bodied in the same way Jerry is. The
people believed that when one had that kind of strength that they would be
equally wise. The priest continued:"as a gift for honoring us with your
presence, I will give you half of this amulet. Our ancient king, Bowraa used
this to rule over Bhutan. No one has been worthy to posses it since then. If
you win your match tomorrow, you may return to claim the other half". In
typical kid fashion Wanda asked if there was anything special in owning both
halves. The priest replied "the power of goypano is available when both halves
come together". Jerry thanked the priest. The next day his match with Khosla
went 6 rounds before knocking the big Indian out. In the hotel room that
night, Wanda reminded her father that they were obligated to return to the
monastery at Bhutan. Jerry's Manager, Brice Lyons defiantly announced that
they had to catch a plane next morning and returning to Bhutan was impossible.
There had always been something about Brice Lyons that disturbed Wanda and she
would fully realize her misgivings later.

During the flight, Wanda asked a stewardess if any of the flight attendants
knew what the term goypano meant. The first three didn't know anything of
Bhutan or its language or legends. Finally one elderly lady who was 4 rows
over caught the term being used by the stewardesses. The woman came over to
Wanda and told her that she was a descendant of a Bhutanese family. The word
goypano meant ... . The power to shape Shift".

When they arrived home Wanda feverishly wrote letters to the priests in Bhutan
asking them to be patient and that her and her father would return. Jerry told
Wanda he had no desire to return to Bhutan and he didn't believe an amulet
contained such magical powers. Still Wanda wrote letters twice a week to
Bhutan, promising that they would come back for the other half of the amulet.

Years after Jerry's untimely, Hong Kong death, a letter came from the
monastery. It said that there had been recent structural damage to the
monastery and if she still wanted the other half of the amulet it would be
hers for $75,000.00 American dollars. The money was needed to make repairs and
they still knew no one else that could rightfully claim it. That letter
changed Wanda's life for good. She would get the money somehow and also be
worthy of the amulet's ownership.

Every action that Wanda undertook was ultimately motivated by her desire to
acquire the needed money for the amulet. She also harbored a grudge against
Brice Lyons the former manager for her father. Call it a secret sense but she
believed Lyons had been involved in manipulating "Jammin "Jerry's death.

When school ended, Koestler's hush money had increased her savings to
$50,000.00. Now the remaining funds would be collected by the merchants. How
that transpired is the basis of the next lesson for the bully academy.

Chapter 6: lessons in extortion. Wanda and her girls had been planning a major
offensive on one of La Habra's leading businessman. His name was Yazhari Abidi
and his son, Kazem, had attended La Habra High school the same years as Wanda.
Kazem had been a victim of Wanda's random attacks on more than one occasion.
He had feared her and he went so far as to tell her so one time during English
class. Wanda savored the remark because it gave her a feeling of incredible
power.

Kazem's father owned 5 convenience stores within the city limits. He also
owned 3 gas stations in the neighboring town of Brea. Chuck, Wanda's personal
computer hacker, had been tracking Yazhari's movements and transactions for a
good 3 months. By the time the plan was to spring in to action, Wanda knew his
home address, cell phone number and the types of car everyone in the Abidi
family drove.

Convenience stores customarily are 24 hour operations and Abidi's 5 stores
were no different. One night, about 2 AM, Nona and Rhonda drove up to one of
the less trafficked stores Abidi owned. They were sensually dressed and their
physiques were becoming works of art. They lured the man behind the counter to
come over to an isle and reach for an item on a tall shelf. While he was
attempting to grab it Nona pulled a gun out and pointed it at him. The store
clerk thought it strange that as buffed as this girl was that she still used a
revolver. In a funny way it was an erotic moment for him. Nona demanded that
he shut the closed circuit cameras off and wait in the rear stock room. Rhonda
motioned to another car outside that the coast was clear and Wanda walked in
escorting a young man that had a gunny sack over his head. Wanda was wearing a
ripped T shirt that exposed her magnificent arms and delts in a savage
display. The words across the front were simple and bold "Cruel and loving
it". They locked the door and took out a cell phone and punched in Abidi's
personal number. The clerk was brought to the phone and instructed to appeal
to Abidi to come to the store at once." It really is a serious emergency Mr.
Abidi" he begged.

Abidi arrived 20 minutes later and entered the rear door through stock room.
As Abidi walked in, there was his overnight clerk sprawled on the floor
nursing bloody and black and blue marks that peppered his face and neck. Wanda
laughed and said" he doesn't protect your property to well does he?"

"I know who you are "Abidi said" Wanda Jorgenson, You're the bully that made
my son's time at school miserable". Wanda quickly retorted with: "Well I've
graduated, 4.0 GPA by the way, I'm no longer a school bully, now I'm a full
fledged gangster". Abidi took a deep breath and said "What do you want from
me?"

Wanda slowly walked to the front counter turned and hoisted herself up so as
to sit on the ledge. "It seems that 5 convenience stores are very vulnerable
during the overnight hours. My girls and I would like to offer you some
protection". Abidi had been approached by thugs before with this old con that
goes back to prohibition and speakeasies. "No way!" he declared "you get out
of my store now" Wanda motioned to Nona to remove the gunny sack that was
covering the unidentified male. There was Kazem looking a bit roughed up but
not bruised as the clerk still on the floor. "Well, I'd enjoy giving Kazem a
ride home then if you don't mind", Wanda said sarcastically. Abidi saw that
all 3 girls were carrying guns and their muscular physiques could only mean at
best, a pistol whipping and at worst, a shooting. "How much do you want"?
Abidi asked with a defeated demeanor. "$10,000.00 in cash now for 3 months
protection of your stores" Wanda said in an almost casual manner. Abidi had a
safe on the premises of this particular store. This had been all part of the
plan since Chuck had discovered the whereabouts of abidi's safe. He opened it
and handed Wanda the money. Wanda grabbed the cash then passed it to Nona. She
followed this motion by shoving Abidi and his son to the back room. She
proceeded to threaten the two men by clinching her fist and showing them her
knuckles close to their faces. If they went to the police, "this fist would be
breaking some Abidi jaws" she vowed. Abidi promised he wouldn't talk and
Wanda, in exchange assured him his stores were in good hands. As Wanda walked
out of the store, a song by Joan Jett thundered in his head. The tune, "This
means war" could have been sung by Wanda because the lyrics reflected just how
menacing she had been.

It was small consolation but Abidi was relieved that Wanda had said nothing of
protection for the 3 gas stations he also owned. Meanwhile Chuck continued to
track Abidi's movements and noted that every Thursday afternoon at 2:00 PM he
visited his bank that held his business accounts.

Two weeks after the convenience store encounter Wanda and her girls stopped
Abidi in the bank parking lot. Wanda was dressed to kill; she wore a Levi
mini-skirt and a royal blue tube top that had the superman logo on it and
words which said "I beat up superman and all I got was this lousy shirt". She
told Abidi she had something to show him and pulled out a set of photos. The
pictures displayed the interior of one of his mini-marts adjacent to one of
his gas stations. The pictures revealed the clerk had been beat up and the
freezers and counters completely ransacked. "You didn't tell me you had gas
stations that needed protection as well" Wanda playfully asked. "Another
$15,000.00 should just about cover our expenses to drive back and forth to
watch over your property don't you think? She said. Abidi stormed in to the
bank and withdrew the money as Wanda and Rhonda stood at his right and left.

Again he handed her the cash and pleaded her to leave him and his family
alone. "We'll see" and winked as she got in to her car to drive away.

Lessons in Extortion learned: Always scare the victim first by how much you
know about them. Quickly follow this up with a turn of the screw when they
admit defeat. Give them a short breather then tighten the screw more.

The next morning Nona took Wanda to the airport. All 3 girls planned to meet
up with each other in 3 days In Bhutan via different air flights. Wanda
finally had the total cost for the amulet. The plane ticket for the next
flight to India had been a dream to Wanda for too many years. In Minutes,
Wanda would be heading for her long awaited destiny of the ultimate
acquisition of power. The power to shape shift ... . the very thought of it
made Wanda's powerful skin break out in goose bumps. Wanda's final
instructions had been given to Chuck.

"Forget Abidi, concentrate on my dad's old manager Brice Lyons. Hack in to his
computer and tell me everything when I get back"

PostScript: if you have been with me through out this disturbing story of a
victorious bully, I'd like to know if it warrants a continuation. (I do have
further thoughts on plot development) but would appreciate feedback. This is
my first time writing in this vein and so compliments or constructive
critiques are welcomed and needed.
