Nadine By Littlesilverstar, silverstar222b@yahoo.com One girl vs. 20 male thugs. Guess who wins? Hint: Not the 20 . Nadine hung by her arms from the ceiling, the rope knotted firmly around her slender wrists. She swayed slightly back and forth, back and forth. Waiting. Captured and alone, with no way to call for help. But she did not let the fear take control. She was a survivor. Always had been, always would be. She was twenty-three years old and an investigative reporter. She had driven out alone in her battered old Jeep to this remote location in the Nevada desert, the place that a tabloid claimed was a secret government facility for manufacturing chemical weapons. A story that no "sensible, mainstream" reporter would touch. But Nadine, inexperienced and desperate for a big break, had jumped on the lead. She needed a story. She had found it. The rumors had been true. White-coated men, assembling chemicals and missiles. She had taken her pictures, heart beating fast with triumph, then turned around...and come face-to-face with two burly, uniformed men pointing Uzi submachine guns at her. Now, left alone with her thoughts in this dark room, still swaying back and forth from the ceiling, she did not panic. She had grown up on the mean streets of inner-city Los Angeles, with a father she never knew and a mother who was a cocaine addict. Ever since she had been a little girl, it had always been kill or be killed. She had joined a gang for protection, left it when she saw it would take her nowhere, and survived numerous attempted hits for abandoning the gang. She had quickly become proficient with martial arts and firearms, carrying her first gun, a Walther PPK, at the age of ten, practicing by shooting tin cans in abandoned back yards. By twelve, she had made her first kill, a twentysomething gangbanger and would-be rapist. Even after she had gotten out of that hellhole, gotten accepted to college, and earned her English/journalism degree, she had never forgotten the look of pure terror in the would-be rapist's eyes as she pulled her Walther from underneath her miniskirt, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger. And neither had she ever forgotten the rush she had felt, the feeling of pure power. The door opened, bringing her back to the present. A man walked in, pale, fat, and greasy. He looked at her, licking his lips. She rolled her eyes. It was no surprise, of course. Nadine was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Her 5'6", 120-pound frame was slender and athletic. Years of kickboxing, gymnastics, and cheerleading experience had made her body powerful and muscular, but still petite and feminine. She was Latina, with long black hair, brown eyes, and a nice dark tan. Her skintight, low-cut black leather pants showed off her well-developed and well-muscled bubble butt and her hard six-pack abs. Her tight gray tank top (with no bra underneath) outlined her firm 34C breasts and displayed her slim, toned arms. A black belt with a silver buckle, black combat boots, and black leather gloves completed her outfit. Her elegant, high-cheekboned, model-like face could melt a man's heart when she gave one of her warm smiles...or make it beat rapidly with fear with her icy stares. Like right now, as the greasy man's heart rate increased with fear as Nadine's icy stare seemed to bore right through him. Though she was tied and he was free, there was something about her that made him afraid. Trying to get ahold of himself, the fat man came closer to her with an oily smile. "The torturer will be here soon to find out how much you know. But before you go through a world of pain you and I can have some pleasure." He unzipped his pants. It took all of Nadine's self-control not to unleash her Latina temper on this fat piece of shit. But, seeing her opportunity, she kept quiet as he came closer, closer...His face was right in front of her waist now, as he moved in to sniff her crotch. She struck like a viper. Her legs, which her captors had foolishly not tied, snaked themselves around his neck and squeezed hard. Gasping for breath, he tried to pry himself loose with his hands, but her thighs were far too strong and kept his neck in their lethal grip. He tried shouting for help, but found that no sound was coming out. "Awww, baby," she cooed, her voice a mixture of seductiveness and sadism. "What's the matter? I thought you wanted to get between my legs." He continued struggling and gasping, his face starting to turn blue. "Too tight? Want me to give you a break?" she asked with a dazzling smile. Still unable to speak, his eyes pleaded, "Yes!" "Okay!" With that, Nadine twisted her athletic hips 180 degrees, breaking her helpless male victim's neck. She smirked as she looked down into the corpse's dead eyes. She loosened her grip, keeping him in position with her left leg, while she kicked off her right boot. Stretching her right leg down, she gripped between her toes the handle of a knife that the fat man had been wearing in a sheath. Nadine released the dead body and let it drop to the floor. She then raised her right leg upward in a vertical split, taking her foot high above her head. From there, she transferred the knife to her gloved right hand and quickly cut herself loose. Landing neatly on the floor, she took a few moments to stretch her muscles and bring back full blood circulation. She then put her boot back on and headed for the door, the heavily developed muscles in her deeply tanned forearm springing to prominence as she gripped the knife tightly. She opened the door slowly and quietly, then leaned her head out and swiftly glanced in each direction down the hall. No one was there. She was about to step into the hallway when she heard footsteps. Quickly, she ducked back into the room. A uniformed man carrying a Thompson submachine gun opened the door and poked his head in. He gasped in surprise upon seeing Nadine missing from her former position. He began raising his gun, but before he could do anything the lethal Latina popped out from her hiding place and drove her knife straight into his throat. She gave the weapon a vicious twist, ripping his throat open, then yanked the blade out. He collapsed to the floor, gurgling as he died, blood flowing everywhere. She bent down dispassionately, picked up the Thompson, quickly found the safety and flicked it off, and headed off down the hall. Finding nothing but a dead end, she tried the other direction. When she reached the corner, she peeked around and saw two more uniformed men with M-16 assault rifles about fifty feet further down. They seemed busy talking with each other. Nadine pondered her next move. She could simply shoot them, but the noise would alert others, and she had no idea how many men she would have to face at once. She could throw her knife, but she had only one knife. She decided to try sneaking up on them, only resorting to shooting if necessary. She walked around the corner and started towards the two men, then made a last-second modification to her plan. Slinging her weapon over her shoulder, she threw her body into a roundoff followed by a series of back handsprings towards them. When she was about halfway to the men, they suddenly turned, eyes widening with surprise. As she had hoped, the sight of a beautiful woman backflipping at them at high speed threw them off, and they hesitated before raising their guns. That moment of uncertainty was enough. Nadine could backflip faster than most people could run, and before her opponents could open fire she was on them, backflipping straight into both of them and knocking them both down. Nadine raised her left leg high above her head, reaching a perfect 180-degree full standing split, then brought it down onto the first man's head with tremendous force and blinding speed. Her lethal axe kick shattered his skull easily, splattering his brains all over the floor and her black leather boot. Whirling on the second man, who was slowly getting up, she smashed her knee into the underside of his chin, snapping his neck back with a sickening CRUNCH. His corpse slumped to the floor. Smirking at her brutality and efficiency, she unslung her machine gun and continued on her way. Suddenly, she heard voices coming from a room on her left. She paused to listen. "You ready?" said one voice. "The boss wants this over with quickly so we can get back to business." "Just about, Lieutenant," came the second voice. "Just let me put the last of my tools into my briefcase. I'm looking forward to this one. Torturing men is great, but torturing women is even more fun." Nadine's tanned brown face turned red with rage. She kicked the door open. The two men inside stared at her in shock. One man, dressed in a military officer's uniform with a single gold bar on each shoulder, tried to draw his sidearm, but Nadine hurled her knife at him with perfect accuracy. The weapon flew through the air and lodged right in his heart, burying itself in his flesh all the way to the hilt. The second man, who was dressed entirely in black and standing next to an open briefcase, raised his hands as Nadine pointed her submachine gun at him. "Please don't shoot me," he begged. She advanced on him, expressionless, keeping the Thompson trained on him. When she was almost right in his face, her lips moved into an icy smile. "You must be the torturer," she whispered. "And oh no, I'm not going to shoot you. That would be letting you off way too easy. You're going to die as slowly as you would have made me die if you'd had the chance." She suddenly headbutted him, stunning him. She then tossed her weapon onto a table, grabbed her victim, and lifted him high into the air. Then she dropped him down onto her waiting, leather-clad knee in a perfect backbreaker, shattering his spine with a gruesome CRUNCH and paralyzing him from the waist down. A swift karate chop to his neck from her leather-gloved hand knocked him unconscious. "I still have your buddies to take care of," she whispered. "I'll be back for you after I've disposed of them. Don't run away now." She giggled as she said that. Turning, her long black hair whipping behind her, she picked up her machine gun and headed out of the room. After several minutes of walking through corridors and going down stairs, Nadine finally emerged into an enormous room. The same white lab-coated men she had photographed earlier, half a dozen of them, were there, busy working on their chemical weapons. Another half dozen men wearing camoflauge uniforms and carrying various automatic weapons occupied various positions throughout the room. Nadine took a deep breath, then raised her submachine gun and opened fire. A quick burst into the center of mass of the first armed soldier, dropping him, then moving on. The talented markswoman killed three men before the others could react. As they began shooting back, she executed a perfect sideways aerial cartwheel. Several bullets flew harmlessly between her legs as she was upside down. Landing neatly, she fired another burst, taking out a fourth soldier. She dove behind a piece of heavy machinery for cover as the last two soldiers fired at her. Finding a small gap in the machinery, she positioned the barrel of her Thompson through it, searching for the right angle. Then she fired, killing yet another man. The last soldier sprayed the machinery with bullets. As soon as his weapon clicked empty and he began to reload, Nadine popped up and took him out with a single, expertly aimed shot to his head. Suddenly, she heard the distinctive sound of a shotgun being pumped. Whirling, her long black hair flying, she saw that one of the scientists had acquired a shotgun and was aiming it at her. She performed a standing back handspring, the slug sailing between her legs as she flipped. Back upright, she killed him with a single shot to his heart before he could fire again...but then her weapon clicked empty. "Oh, shit," she said out loud. Another scientist bent down, reaching for the shotgun. Nadine let out a high-pitched warrior cry and did a roundoff followed by a series of back handsprings directly at him, timing her backflips perfectly so that each slug he fired went harmlessly between her legs. She backflipped into him, knocking him down. Another white-coated man swung a wrench at her. She ducked and fired a lethal palm strike into his face, mashing the cartilage from his nose into his brain. Drawing her knife, she bent over the man she had flipped into and slit his throat. As she raised her body back up, she saw a scientist wearing a mask about to spray her with something. She hurled her knife at him, a perfect throw straight into his heart. He fell, the canister he had been holding clattering and bouncing away. Two men were left. One ran out of the room. The other was rigging up a blowtorch. Nadine calmly picked up the shotgun, used her impressive forearm and wrist strength to pump it one-handed, pointed it at him, and pulled the trigger. Click. "Oops," she said. The man with the blowtorch smirked, but before he could do anything Nadine rammed the barrel of the weapon hard into his solar plexus. He doubled over and dropped the blowtorch. She whacked him in the face with the shotgun, knocking him to the floor, then used the empty firearm as a club, brutally beating him to death with several blows to his head. She heard the sound of a door flying open. The man who had fled was back, now armed with a Beretta pistol. As he opened fire, Nadine cartwheeled away behind cover. The scientist pointed his gun around wildly, trying to figure out where his female opponent was. Unseen, Nadine came up behind him in a fast series of cartwheels and front handsprings. He finally turned, but it was too late. Her booted feet kicked him as she went through her final cartwheel, sending him flying. She leapt onto him, drew back her leather-gloved fist, and punched him in the throat, crushing his windpipe. She stood up, heart beating fast, and looked around the room filled with bullet holes and male corpses. She smiled as she examined her handiwork. Looking around at the various weapons strewn about, she picked the biggest one - a belt-fed 7.62mm machine gun - and headed out of the room with her new toy. Hearing voices, she followed the sound. There were two - a deep voice and a high-pitched, whiny voice. "Seems like the shooting's over," came deep voice. "No way it was her. She couldn't have gotten loose. There must have been others with her. All positions, report!" came the whiny voice. Whiny voice grew more shrill. "Fuck, no one's reporting! She must have brought an army with her! That's the only way those boys could be defeated!" "No way a whole army could have snuck in. We would have seen them. She was one petite girl and we saw her and caught her," replied deep voice. "Well, whatever it is, it's time to bug out," said whiny voice. "I'll call for a helicopter. You get in touch with your boys. As soon as we're out of here have them vaporize this place with an airstrike. No one will know there was ever a chemical weapons facility here. Plausible deniability." "Sorry, boys," said Nadine. "You aren't going anywhere or calling anyone." The two men whirled in shock and fear. Sexy Nadine, who had snuck up on them from behind as they were talking, was pointing her machine gun at them. Deep voice wore the uniform of an Air Force colonel. Whiny voice was dressed in a dark suit. The colonel's eyes traveled downward towards his sidearm. Nadine shook her head. "That would be a very bad idea. And my gun's a lot bigger than yours." Both men raised their hands high in the air in fear. "How the hell did you get loose?" growled the colonel. "And how the hell did a skinny girl like you defeat an entire squadron of men?" moaned the whiny man. Nadine sprayed the floor in front of them with bullets, causing both men to dance. "I'll be the one to ask the questions," she hissed. "Now, I want to know exactly what the fuck this shit is all about. Whoever is more helpful I'll grant a chance to testify to the authorities and get put in the Witness Protection Program. The other will just die." "I'm the one you want to talk to! I'm the leader! I know more!" shouted the whiny man, nearly pissing his pants with terror. "I know everything he does," said the colonel. "And he's right, he is the leader. Which makes him more responsible, and less worthy of getting a pass and being put in the Witness Protection Program." "Hmm, good point," said Nadine. "Okay, Colonel, start talking. And YOU" - she addressed the other man - "you just stand there quietly like a good boy. I'll keep you alive for now in case the colonel's answers aren't satisfactory, but if you try any stupid shit I have no problem pumping you full of holes." Whiny voice nodded, trembling like a little girl. The Colonel began his story. "I was assigned to Syria as an advisor to rebel forces. While I was there, I received a top-secret call from this man here. He works for the National Security Agency. The NSA ordered me to acquire chemical weapons from Syria and smuggle them into the United States. We took the weapons to this facility here in the Nevada desert. Our scientists then began disassembling and reassembling the weapons to disguise the fact that they had come from Syria. Once the weapons had been reassembled, the NSA was going to kidnap a bunch of anti-government activists and bring them here. Then they were going to kill them and make it look like the anti-government people were domestic terrorists who had built these chemical weapons but had gotten killed in a chemical accident. The NSA's been hugely embarrassed by this recent scandal that they've been spying on the American people, and this false flag operation would be used to increase the people's fear of domestic terrorism and try to justify spying on Americans." Nadine's face had an expression of fury. "You motherfucking little bitches. I knew you NSA assholes were scum, but I didn't think you'd sink THIS low." "You traitor," growled the NSA man to the Colonel. "The Witness Protection Program won't save you. We have people on our side all throughout the government, in every agency. You can't hide. One of us will get you eventually." "Oh, you don't have to worry about being killed by the NSA or their lackeys, Colonel," said Nadine. He brightened, but his shoulders sank a second later when she continued, "Because I'm going to be the one to kill you." "WHAT?! But you promised me...What about the Witness Protection Program..." "I lied," said the pretty brunette simply. "But you need me to tell that story to the authorities. They're not going to believe just you..." "They'll believe this." She reached into her pocket and held up a tape recorder. The NSA man began snickering, but Nadine put a stop to it by savagely kicking him in the groin. He fell to the floor, clutching his brutalized family jewels. "You have nothing to laugh about. At least HE's going to get a quick death for talking and for not being the one in charge of this shit. You, on the other hand, won't be so lucky." With that, the hot Latina, holding her big gun securely with her right arm, reached out with her leather-gloved left hand. Using her extremely high level of wrist strength, she snapped the Colonel's neck one-handed. Nadine then marched the NSA man at gunpoint back to the room where she had been imprisoned. She tied him, dangling from the ceiling, in the exact same manner that she had been tied, with the addition of also tying his ankles together. Then she got the paralyzed torturer, who was just waking up from the effects of her powerful karate chop, and dragged him into the same room as her other victim. The torturer looked up at her. "Please. Mercy." "The same mercy you would have shown me," she replied. She took careful aim with her machine gun and pumped the entire length of his left arm with lead, shredding flesh and bone into paste. She repeated the process with his right arm. As the man on the ground screamed in pain, she looked up at the NSA man and said, "Watch carefully, because you're next." Nadine began kicking the torturer, first targeting his jaw, breaking it with her first kick. Her following kicks knocked teeth out two or three at a time. She kicked him in the back of his head several times, then began stomping on his face repeatedly. Moving lower, she began kicking his ribs, breaking a rib with each sadistic kick. She continued until she had shattered them all. "Breathe, baby," she taunted him. "Fragments of bone have gone into your lungs. With each breath you take you move those fragments in deeper and deeper. It'll get harder and harder. Soon you'll suffocate." She stood over him, glaring down at her helpless victim, until he had taken his last breath and mercifully expired. Nadine turned her attention to the NSA man, who had both pissed and shat his pants in terror. She laughed as she noticed. "You chickenshit coward. You people think you're so tough, hiding in your back rooms spying on innocent people, surrounded by bodyguards to protect you and lackeys to do your bidding. Well, you're not so tough now." "Please," he begged. "I can get you money. Millions of dollars. Just let me go and you can be rich." The sexy Latina angrily spat right into his crotch, which was at face level for her. "You just don't get it, do you, cocksucker?" she snarled. "I'm not interested in your dirty money. I'm only interested in two things. Your suffering, and your death." With that, Nadine swiftly broke both of his ankles, her amazing wrist and forearm strength allowing her to snap the bones like dry twigs. She then picked up her machine gun. Two quick bursts shredded his feet into paste, and two single shots shattered his kneecaps. Raising her aim, she shot him once in each arm and once in each shoulder. She felt her dark, evil, sadistic side flowing through her as she laughed at his howls of agony. Nadine began punching him in the crotch. Although her arms were slender and feminine, they were also well-muscled, and her blows were very powerful. Enjoying the feel of her leather-gloved fists pummeling her male victim's testicles, she brutalized him with over two dozen punches to his gonads. Then she drew her knife. She grinned wickedly. "Nooooo...Aaaaahhhhhhh!!" The NSA man let out an unearthly howl as she rammed the knife right into his balls and gave it a vicious twist. As she yanked it out, blood began falling steadily. She stabbed him in the side, continuing to carve him open until she had gone completely around one rib. Yanking the rib out, with some help from her knife, she hit him in his bleeding groin several times with his own rib. For the coup de grace, she used the knife to rip his stomach wide open, leaving him to stare down in horror at his own entrails hanging out for the last minutes of his life. Nadine, suddenly feeling dizzy, sat down, waiting for her heart rate to return to normal. She looked down at her blood-covered body. There would be authorities and media to call, stories to be prepared, more work to do. But the most important part was over. She had done it. She had survived. It was who she was.
