The Burglars
by M. C. 
Penny deals with the neighborhood burglars - and a friend

Penny sat in her math class and looked across at Bill. For as long as 
she could remember, she had a crush on him. She knew his story. Product 
of a broken home, an abusive step -father ; but that didn't seem to 
bother her. For whatever reason one person is attracted to another, 
Penny was attracted to Bill. Unfortunately her affections were not 
recipricated -Bill hardly seemed to notice her. They were both seventeen 
years old. He was a star on the high school football team ; she,  the 
no. 1 tennis player and a guard on the women's basketball team. She also 
lifted weights and studied karate for ten years. Penny was a beautiful, 
talented, athletic and intelligent girl. She could probably get any guy 
she wanted; except - it seemed - Bill. Several days later that was all 
to change. 

It was a clear, moonless night. Penny sat by her bedroom window looking 
up at the stars.  As she did so, she couldn't help but notice that a 
certain car seemed to be returning every few minutes past the house 
across the street. The Johnson's were abroad for a few weeks and their 
house was vacant. Penny remembered that everyone in her neighborhood was 
warned about the rash of burglaries that were happening and they should 
report anything suspicious to the police. As the car drove up again, it 
stopped and five men got out. Penny watched one of them stand near the 
house while the others broke open a side window and climbed in. She 
walked over to her dresser and took something out. She put it in her 
pocket and went across the street. As she approached the' lookout ' she 
formulated a plan in her head. Suddenly she stopped. . . . . . . . it 
was Bill. "Penny, what are you doing here ?", he asked. "I live across 
the street - what are YOU doing here ?" as if she didn't know.  "Penny, 
you must get away from here now "he warned. "I know - you and your 
friends are robbing this house, aren't you ?".  "Penny please leave - 
you don't know these guys - they're tough and mean".  Penny approached 
him and said in a soft voice , "I'm sorry that this is necessary ". She 
then landed a hard roundhouse kick to his head, followed it up with a 
hard punch to Bill's gut and finished him off with a solid uppercut to 
his jaw. In five seconds the five-foot six inch 130 pound girl knocked 
the six-foot three inch 225 pound football player out. She looked down 
at him and said quietly , " I'll deal with you later ". 

As Penny approached the broken window she reached into her pocket and 
took something out. It was a mask that she had worn for a Halloween 
party two weeks earlier - a batgirl mask. She smiled at the irony as she 
climbed through the window. Twenty minutes later she climbed back out. 
Penny walked over to where Bill lay - he was just regaining 
conciousness. She helped him to his feet.  "Come on, Bill; the police 
will be here any minute. We've got to get to my house". Bill was groggy 
and didn't quite comprehend what was happening. They heard police sirens 
off in the distance. "Come, let's go", Penny insisted. 

"I've never seen anything like this", the police sargent said to the 
patrolman as they looked over the scene. They had recieved an anonymous 
phone call informing them that a robbery was in progress. When they 
arrived at the location the front door was wide open. As they entered 
the house, they saw a large man lying, face down, on a coffee table. His 
hands were tied to the front two legs of the table and his legs, to the 
back. His pants were pulled down and his rear end was very red. "The 
victim of a severe spanking", the sargent smirked. As they searched the 
house, they found another man sitting on the toilet. He had a black eye, 
a bloody nose, and a very swollen lip. His hands were tied behind his 
back and a pair of dirty panties were stuffed in his mouth. The 
clincher, however, was in the master bedroom. There the police found two 
large, muscler men lying in the bed. They were both naked. One was on 
his back, tied to the bedposts. The other was on top of  him, also tied 
to the bedposts, facing the opposit direction - the classic sixty-nine 
position. The only clue as to what happened, was a small note they found 
near the bed. It read: 

"Good evening officers of the law. I decided to give you an easy evening 
- Batgirl" 

Penny and Bill watched from her bedroom window as the burglars were 
carted off in a police van. After it drove away, Penny turned to Bill 
and asked the obvious question. . . . why.  "Why do you want to ruin the 
rest of your life. You have a good chance to win a football scholarship. 
Do you think any college will touch you if they find out about this?" 
Bill hung his head in shame.  " I-I don't know, I. . . " At this time 
Bill broke down and started to cry. Instinctively, Penny hugged him(how 
many times did she fantasize about hugging Bill in her bedroom - but not 
like this). "Are you going to report me to the police ?" he cried.  "Not 
this time. . . . . . but promise me you won't do this sort of thing 
again "she said.  "It really doesn't matter if you do or not. . . . . . 
the others will tell the police everything", Bill sobbed. Penny reached 
into her pocket again and took out some polaroid pictures she took with 
a camera she found at the Johnson's house. She showed them to Bill. He 
stared at them in disbelief. They showed his tough gang all in their 
battered and humiliated conditions -just the way the police found them. 
Penny smiled at Bill. "I don't think your friends will be ratting on 
you. I told them that if they do, these pictures will be posted, along 
with their names, on the internet. I also told them that if they mention 
your name to the police, I'll be waiting for them when they get out of 
jail". Bill looked at her. "Why are you doing this for me ?" Penny 
thought for a moment and then said,  " I have two reasons. First, you've 
had a very difficult life;with your parents divorce and that bastard 
step-father of yours. This could have ruined you. I think you deserve a 
second chance".  Bill pondered this for a minute and then asked, "and 
the second reason?" Penny took him in her arms. She began to kiss him 
passionately. . . . . . . . . . and he understood. 

A few days later Robert Morgan - Bill's stepfather was found, battered 
in a parking lot near a bar he frequented. His beating was so severe 
that he had to spend several days in the hospital recovering. He never 
said who beat him up - or why - but because he was such a large and mean 
man, everyone assumed that it must have been somebody very, very tough. 

Penny and Bill lay on her bed, cuddleing after a passionate lovemaking 
session. He was on his back slowly running his hand through her long, 
beautiful hair as she rested her head on his chest. He looked at her and 
asked "it was you, wasn't it - you beat up my stepfather?" "Yes, that 
was me", Penny said. "You're my boyfriend now and nobody has the right 
to treat you the 
 way he did. If he ever lays a hand on you again, let me know about it 
". He kissed her. "Penny, how could I have ignored you for so long ? 
You're so. . . . . . . .  incredible". She smiled  and kissed him back; 
" better late than never ".
