Mystery at Sandringham Nursing Home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carol Kirkwood is having a job interview today at Sandringham Nursing home as a nurse. It is a temporary assignment in replacement of a much valued staff member that is currently temporarily out of circulation due to `domestic issues’ but expected to return in time, Mrs. Greelish the director explains while she sizes up Carol from behind her big owl-size glasses and leafs through the credentials that Carol has presented to her.

 

“Ermm? Aren’t you a bit over- qualified for this position Miss Kirkwood? I see that you are a fully qualified UKCP licensed therapist, and that you have held management positions in the private sector as well in the past.” She raises a quizzical eyebrow. “ Oh well, I am afraid that I am currently `in between jobs’ so to say and out of a relationship” Carol flashes an embarrassed smile back. “As you can see I’m also a fully qualified nurse, I’ve written my graduation thesis on the mental healthcare of the elderly, so I am familiar with the problems you might encounter here with your residents, and I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and do the hard work as a Nurse well. As this is a temporary assignment, it would suit me perfectly. I’ve just moved in after my relationship broke up, and I need some time to set myself up over here. And, not in the least, it pays very well, and I can really do with the money!” Carol explains. “Yes you have noticed haven’t you?” Mrs Greelish smiles back. We are a quality private nursing home with a tradition that goes back to 1830. So quality also means quality facilities quality services and quality staff. That is why, compared to the competition, we pay much better. For most of our residents money is not an issue and they are gladly willing to pay for it. That is also why we need to fill in the gaps in our nursing capacity as soon as possible. So when can you start Miss Kirkwood?” she smiles as she hands Carol a contract.

 

Carol studies it meticulously, and then she signs it, hands it back and keeps the copy. “If you want I can start this afternoon Mrs Greelish. I currently don’t have much to do! Thank you for hiring me! I really appreciate that you know? ! I’ll promise you won’t regret it”  Carol smiles back gratefully. “Oh well, sometimes us women end up in tight spots don’t we?” Mrs Greelish smiles back motherly. “And besides, we really could do with your psycho-therapeutical expertise. Madeline, the nurse you will be replacing, was stationed at the `closed wing’ of our nursing facility and some of the patients there are really quite a handful with most peculiar habits.  So I expect you to handle them with tact and forbearance.” she instructs sternly.  “Jenny! Come in please” Mrs Greelish orders through the intercom on her desk. Jenny, the management secretary and personal assistant that occupies the adjacent office comes rushing in. She is a 5ft 9” blue eyed willowy blonde in her late 20’s, dressed in a white doctors coat over formal business attire. “Miss Peckingham This is our new colleague, Miss Carol Kirkwood. She will be temporary replacing miss Craye during her absence. Please fill her in on our procedures and the rule- book, take her measurements and order three uniforms. Then show her around and introduce her to her new colleagues!” with that announcement Mrs Greelish imperiously waves them both out of her office. 

 

“Pleased to meet you Carol!” Jenny smiles warmly. “And don’t think too much of that façade of the stiff upper class harridan the old bat always puts up. She is actually quite nice you know? She even listens to her staff occasionally” Jenny chuckles. “So what brings you here Carol? I can hear you are not a local! And I have noticed that you are a fully qualified UKCP licensed therapist, which is a bit overqualified for a nurse isn’t it?” she asks quizzically. “Ahh the usual! Relationship shit! We broke up after seven years together, and now he is parading around town with my new younger long legged replacement. That really hurts you know? And all of the fond memories you might have about a place or a town suddenly get tainted, because the bastard and all of his friends and family are also in that movie. I decided to make a clean break. This place is as good as anywhere else to start anew and pick up my life again!” Carol shrugs. “Oh yes! Sounds familiar!  I’m not lucky in love either. Too much work! I guess that is the burden of a professional career woman isn’t it?” Jenny replies.

 

“Yeah! I was trying to make it work with my own therapy practice in Bournemouth working 50 to 70 hours a week. And if that shithead felt neglected, looking back now, he really wasn’t worth the investment anyway! Just a waste of time and money. It turns out he already had been shagging that girl for years behind my back while I was paying all of the bills” Carol replies bitterly. “And now that she has come into her inheritance, he dumps me!” she winces at the memory. “Oh I’m so sorry! That must have been hard on you wasn’t it? Sorry that I asked. Sometimes I can’t help myself but I am quite a nosy girl you know? And I felt there was something more to you!” Jenny apologizes as she rubs Carols shoulder empathically. “Ahh make nothing of it! It is what it is! I’m glad I have a job here now at Sandringham nursing home.  That allows me to focus on what’s at hand for the patients and take pride in my work instead of sitting at home heartbroken and feeling sorry for myself” Carol shrugs. “I cannot wait to start you know? Can you fill me in on all the details? A nosy girl knows a lot, doesn’t she?” she winks at Jenny

 

“Oh Yeah! Where shall I start?  All right! Here you have our rule and policy book. Read that at home and learn it by heart. If anything isn’t clear, you can always take it up with me!” she instructs Carol. “But I’m sure you are more interested in the peculiarities of our closed wing patients you will have in your care". she smiles. Whave a couple of dementia patients, like Colonel Faircloth who is still fighting in India and in the boer war, Lady Hazel who thinks she is an opera singer, and Mrs Yannouthrakisvoulos who thinks she is in Lesvos and speaks Greek all of the time. Do you speak any Greek by any chance?” Jenny grins impishly.

 

“Nah. But I’ve spent a couple of holidays there, so in fact I know Lesvos quite well. Never came any further than “Cherète, Kailméra, kaló apógevma, kalispèra and yassas! (hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening and cheers) in Greek though” she admits.  “Then we have Mrs Chadwick who suffers from compulsions, and always locks up all of the doors, so with her on the floor we can rely on the fact that all the doors in the closed section always remain firmly locked” Jenny grins. “And then we have a couple of `intermediates’ on the sliding scale towards madness. “Gerald Dupuis is a worsening case, as well as Algy Jones and Jacob Cattrell.  But the most notorious scoundrel we have around in the closed section is most certainly Beppo Locatelli. Het is an Italian billionaire, but we still haven’t been able to conclusively pinpoint his mental disorder and establish a plan of treatment after 10 years of residence in our institution here. There is so much in this guy that doesn’t add up but he has the disturbing habit of tying up women and gagging them, as the female staff here at Sandringham nursing home fully knows by experience.

 

 

Locatelli's Bondage Party

 

 He is highly intelligent and a typical aristocratic Italian, well mannered, very cultured, courteous, witty and charming to the ladies. He shows you all courtesy, on the verge fawning on you, and then suddenly he jumps you, wrestles you down, and ties you up and gags you.  And then he sits back contently and enjoys himself watching you squirm all over the place to get loose, of course with the occasional grope in the obvious places to amuse himself. But he never goes any further or lowers his pants to take advantage of you.” Jenny explains.

 

“He got you as well didn’t he?” Carol confronts her. “Yep! He did that during a chess game I was playing with him. He is tubby and balding now but he is still a damn good wrestler, especially at floor work, a wrestling coach once told us. So once he gets a hold on you and brings you down, you can struggle all you want but you are finished.  And then he ties you up and gags you to make his hold on you permanent and renders you totally helpless. “ Jenny explains with an embarrassed expression on her face. “Ermm? Wrestling Experts looking at his footage? That means that you are having Locatelli on surveillance the whole time with secret cameras have you?” Carol interjects. “ No we don’t have secret cameras installed, but the staff is always on alert and is very experienced. Locatelli jumps and ties up any woman he fancies when he is in his mood again. There are no restraints on him there.  Imagine what would happen if we turn him loose?” Jenny defends herself. “Yeah! I can imagine the havoc that causes. You'd better contain this or Mister Locatelli ends up in jail for 10 to 15 years or perhaps even dead! ” Carol advises. “Yeah! That is exactly what we did. We made an arrangement with him, his warden, and his lawyers. Everybody of the female staff that gets jumped, tied up , gagged and groped by Locatelli gets an extra bonus of 150 pounds in cash for the inconvenience. So everybody knows this can happen, Everybody knows in advance  what he will do. Everybody knows that they aren't really  are in any danger. You won’t get raped. And you get a hundred pound and a fifty pound note – tax free- stuffed into your cleavage for the inconvenience. Some of the nurses are actually quite fond of his erotic ministrations and the money is quite good so they que up for him” Jenny smiles insolently. Then suddenly she gets serious again and captures Carols eyes. “You’ve been robbed, kidnapped, tied up and gagged before haven’t you?” she asks. “Yep! Twice in fact.” Carol admits. “ I can assure you that isn’t pleasant Jenny.  It is involuntarily and without consent. The first time it was a robbery in which I was brutally rendered helpless and had to wait for what whatever they'd do to me next. Fourteen hours that ordeal took! The second time was a reckoning, and I knew that would be the end of me. I would die! I fortunately got rescued in the last minute, so I still live to tell the tale. But at that moment when I  was about to get killed, I wetted myself  from fear!  Can you understand girl what it is to wet yourself from fear? How humiliating that really is? ” Carol casts a withering glance back at Jenny. “Ohhh sorry! I’m rather naive am I not?” Jenny apologizes. “Yes you are!” Carol vehemently drills in the nail. “But Locatelli rather is a nuisance instead of a real threat isn’t he?” she changes the subject to make good.  “Yeah! I must admit that I rather liked what he did to me. It really turned me on and made me damn horny! Can you dig that? And other nurses as well” Jenny admits hesitantly. “Does that mean I am also a sexual pervert?” she asks timidly. “Nahh make nothing of it. Erotic fantasies are a cesspit. You don’t have a clue what happens behind closed curtains or what confessions my patients make. As long as it is consensual, anything goes if everybody’s fine with that. I don’t teach what to like or what to dislike or what is offensive or inoffensive between a man and a woman in their sexual play. I don’t pass judgement as a therapist. As long as what happens turns everybody on and nobody gets hurt? Who am I?” Carol smiles as she raises her hands apologetically. Jenny utters a sigh of relief, glad she is off the hook, but then Carol isn’t finished with her yet.   Instantly she is back at Jenny “There’s more to this am I right ? I am the replacement of Madeline Craye, one of Locatelli’s favourites.  So what happened to her? Something must have happened to her, or else I wouldn’t be here. Care to explain what that was and how it has to do with Locatelli? Speak up girl!” Carol urges her and shows her natural dominance over the younger woman to show who is boss here. “Ermm. Yes! I’m afraid me and Mrs Greelish haven’t been totally honest with you. “ Jenny admits hesitantly. “Both nurse  Madeline Craye and her senior, head nurse  Dora Cunningham have gone missing on duty one night.  We don’t have a clue what happened to them. We’ve called in Scotland Yard to investigate, but they haven't come up with anything yet. Here’s the card of the officer in charge DCI Rachel Roberts” Jenny explains as she hands it over. “So yes! This job of yours might not be without personal risk. Has Locatelli crossed the line with his vices and  do we have corpses now?  Is there another maniac involved that preys on our nurses? Honestly! We don’t know!. But we have two of our employees and valued colleagues gone missing for two weeks now. You know what that means do you? Both of those poor women might likely not be alive anymore. We have a kidnap maniac in residence over here as one of our patients. Once this gets out you know what happens! One and one makes two for the press!  We try to contain the damage as much as possible here!  So for now  it’s only the closed nursing section staff that knows. They are very loyal, and everybody promised to keep it under the hat, Nobody else knows. We currently keep up appearances here, so Maddy and Dora are still officially on temporary sick leave now, and we hired you and Pammy to fill in the gaps pretending business as usual.” Jenny hesitantly admits. “Oh well, that's your problem not mine, am I right? But a good reminder Jenny! I will always keep my pepper spray close at hand here at Sandringham nursing home!” she snorts.  “Oh come on! Don't be so rude to me Carol! This is a nightmare for all of us. We worked so hard and didn’t ask for this, but we got it anyway.  This is not fair! Surely you’ll understand as a business woman that has held several high ranking management positions in the past?” Jenny pleads. "Why sure! You never do it right don't you?" Carol answers wryly. "But avoiding and postponing decisions is also a decision mind you! There are hard decisions to be made here because you have a very serious crisis on your hands  and this situation cannot be contained for much longer."Carol lectures sternly. Then suddenly her expression softens as the truth begins to dawn on her. " Oh my god! Poor girl! It is actually you that is running the whole place here aren't you?" she speaks softly. "Uhum" Jenny nods timidly. "I'm afraid the old bat is of no use. She's got the position through her connections, but she doesn't have a clue what it really takes to run a nursing home" she admits. "So she leaves you free rein, and now that the shit has hit the fan, it's up to you on your own to deal with it without any support or backup?" Carol asks incredulously. "Oh my god! That's terrible. I can't say I envy you!" she sighs

 

 “Yes! Pretty much so I'm afraid. But now that you know of the mess we're in, will you stay on?” Jenny asks. “I think I will.” Carol smiles back reassuringly. "Right! To business! How about us visiting Locatelli now?” she asks. “Well you don’t have your own nursing uniforms yet, but I think something might be arranged here. I’ve taken your measurements and you and Dora happen to have pretty much the same size. Follow me! I’ll show you to the dressing room.” Jenny beckons.

 

 

10 minutes later Nurse Carol is admiring herself in front of the full sized mirror. Dora’s uniform fits, although it is a bit tight in some places, but then that tightness in these places contributes to her feminine curvy alluringness. “Oh Wow! You’re quite a stunner aren’t you?” Jenny observes admiringly. “I think that our male patients will be mighty pleased with your appearance. I only hope that they won’t get overfamiliar with you, but then you can handle that, can you?” she asks. “Yes! I am a therapist. I’ve had patients on my couch fall in love with me and having naughty dreams about me. That sometimes complicates a working relationship, but not necessarily always.” Carol explains. “Ermm, you have had sex with your patients then?” Jenny blurts out with an appalled expression on her face. “No! Never! But sometimes it helps when they dream about me, and that allows me to sort out their problems with women. Quite a lot of men have these, you know?” Carol answers with a snug smile on her face.

 

 

When they enter the closed section of the Nursing home,  Jenny briefly introduces her to the nursing staff and the patients. “Ermm, where is nurse Puttrawatti?” she observes. “Ohh! Locatelli is at it again!

 

 

Locatelli And Nurse Puttrawatti

 

That is already the third time this week, and this time he’s also drawn Algy into his nefarious games. We’ve sent down the new one, Pammy Paterson, to put him back in line again and to restore order. She is quite good at that. She speaks Italian fluently,swears like a sailor and she really gives him lip! He actually listens to her when she gets mad at him you know?”  Nurse Parker chuckles.  When they enter mister Locatelli’s quarters Carols jaw drops from what she witnesses there. In the middle of the room stands nurse Puttrawatti, firmly tied up with lots of rope ensnaring her curvaceous mature body, and she is gagged with a strip of white medical microfoam tape. Mfff! She looks around uncertainly. In one corner of the room stands Algy Jones like a schoolboy that has just been taught a lesson by the head mistress, and in the other stands Locatelli, also with a subdued expression on his face. And in front of him stands the vixen, bristling with rage, making broad theatrical gestures, and spitting out a tirade in Italian like a machine gun. She is very loud and Locatelli winces at the impact of each word, and seems to grow smaller and smaller in his corner under her vocal onslaught as she pokes him in the chest with her finger to make herself very clear.

 

Then she turns and Carols jaw drops even further in astonishment. “What the hell is this? That woman over there is not nurse Pammy Paterson, but Doctor Bunny Percy from Scotland Yard!” she gulps. Bunny is nonplussed as well when she recognises Carol Kirkwood the devious therapy lady standing in front of her on her undercover mission. She just stands there in shock for a second before she plasters a false smile on her face and holds out her hand to make acquaintance with her new colleague. “Ahh you must be the new one. Carol Kirkwood isn’t it?” she smiles brightly. “Ermm? You two know each other?”  Jenny observes keenly. “Oh no! I was just taken aback by the whole situation. For a moment I thought I saw auntie Gertrude standing here in the room. She has a violent temper as well and she reminds me of you Pammy!” Carol drives in the nail with a poisonous remark and an equally false smile on her face.

 

Doctor Bunny quickly decides to leave the scene as the enmity between the two women is almost tangible, and it looks like they might come to blows should their conversation continue. “Well I think I have put our Italian scoundrel and his accomplice into place again! Can the two of you untie poor Rose over there? I have some urgent business to attend to with Mrs Yannouthrakisvoulos. I was helping her to get dressed before I was called away to put out the fire here, you know?” she announces as she marches out of the room.

 

Doctor Bunny is really raving mad now and she needs a few moments alone to come to her senses. “What the hell? Carol Kirkwood, that scheming blonde bimbo bombshell therapy lady in a nurses uniform here at Sandringham nursing home? That cannot be a coincidence! That snoop must be undercover here as well! Why didn’t anybody tell me about this?” she bristles with fury. “Oh well, better to avoid her as much as I can for now!” she decides.

 

Later that afternoon Carol suddenly gets grabbed from behind, her arm is wrenched behind her back, a hand camps over her mouth to prevent her from screaming and she is brutally dragged into an alcove. “Shit? Locatelli?” is her initial thought, but then she smells that silly `60’s patchouli perfume. “Ahh Bunny Percy trying to show me who is boss here!” she grumbles to herself. “Nine o-clock! The Swan on main street. Be there! And for now stay out of my way is that clear?” Bunny hisses into her ear. “Mfff!” Carol nods in reply as she feels she is being released from Bunny’s grip and she quietly slips away from the alcove as if nothing happened. “Damn policewomen with all of their wrestling tricks! Better be damn sure that next time I have my tazer with me! Then you’ll be in for a real surprise my dear!” Carol promises herself.

 

 

As she had expected, Doctor Bunny is already present at the Swan when Carol enters the pub. There are two glasses of wine in front of her. She invites her to sit down at the table. “Oh my god! Carol Kirkwood again to mess things up! What the hell are you doing here?” she grumbles. “The same as you I suppose! Find the two missing nurses. I got my assignment from Lady Greenwood from the board of directors. She is one of my former patients you know?”  Carol shrugs. “And of course Rachel Roberts is leading the Scotland Yard investigation into their disappearance and she has decided to put you undercover here to solve it, Right?!” she adds snugly. “So how did you get in?” Carol asks. “Same as you! The job offer! As far as I am concerned everybody is a suspect.  There might just as well be something completely different going on here that has nothing to do with Locatelli. Mrs Greelish knows nothing about me, and so does Jenny, although she might be suspecting something after our encounter this afternoon” Doctor Bunny casts Carol a meaningful accusing glare. “So what do you make of Locatelli?” Carol asks. “You tell me!” Comes Doctor Bunny’s Icy reply. “I’ve only talked with him for over an hour, but my first impression is that Locatelli is perfectly sane, although he has a massive fetish. There are no traces of a mental disorder. He is just playing the madman and lays it on thick to amuse himself with the ladies over here. As far as I suspect he is into hiding from the law or from some old friends and uses this nursing home mental patient façade as his cover. What do you think? Is he a Mafioso Pentiti?” Carol asks. “Yep! Either that or he is a Capo! Did you notice that he underwent facial surgery?” Doctor Bunny answers casually. “Yep! I already suspected something like that.  He is Beppo the Clown isn’t he? Everything in his face is slightly askew and warped, which gives him a cheerful childish innocent expression of perpetual amazement, but watch his eyes. They miss nothing. There’s something different there. “ Carol observes. “Yep! Beppo the Clown with the eyes of an old man. Doesn’t add up does it?  Excellent solid observation Carol. I’ll give you that!” Doctor Bunny graciously allows Carol her point.

 

“So what about the missing nurses? Jenny told me that they were Beppo’s favourites that obviously enjoy his naughty ministrations very much. Could it be that they accidentally stumbled upon Beppo’s secrets and he had to get them out of the way?” Carol ponders. “Yeah. I agree with you. That is the most obvious explanation isn’t it? Something must have happened that night that blew his cover. You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time! Bob Marley” doctor Bunny grins.

 

“Do you know if we have security camera’s on the premises? I didn’t see anything.” Carol asks. “No! That is what they told Rachel Roberts. They are kind of old fashioned, keep to the traditions, and most vehemently protect the privacy of their residents. Having some security camera footage would have been a tremendous help in establishing what happened that night. Both of the night nurses missing and no witnesses!” Bunny sighs with a theatrical gesture.

 

“But you’re not convinced are you?” Carol cuts in as she studies Bunny’s face intensely. “Oh dammit you are a pain in the arse Kirkwood!” doctor Bunny grumbles angrily. “No! They must have secret cameras installed somewhere. Especially at the closed section. It simply stands to reason with patients with dementia or mental disorders in your care. You could have your licence revoked as a private nursing home if you don’t meet the security requirements. MO17-SCA 8 regulations. Did you notice that nurses who get grabbed, tied up and gagged by Locatelli are always rescued within the hour?” Bunny smiles back genially. “Yeah, could be, but it could also be a matter of routine you know? This has been going on for quite some time. Everybody knows that it happens with Locatelli around. So staff keeping an eye out for each other? You don’t need secret cameras for that, only a tight schedule so the staff keeps in touch regularly!” Carol objects.  “You have never really worked in a hospital or in a care home am I right Doctor Bunny? It’s teamwork! You don’t have a clue how it works and what makes a real professional! Oh my god! Who is the amateur here? You should have done your homework before you come bustling in like this here on an undercover mission ”  Carol scolds her.

 

“Rubbish! I know where they are! Hasn’t it dawned to you that all of the rooms of the residents in the closed section have mirrors installed on the walls, and that these are firmly bolted in place? Didn’t that strike you as a bit odd? That is where the cameras are. Behind the mirrors, Capisce?” Bunny spits back.  “Point taken! Brilliant observation Bunny!” Carol acknowledges humbly. “You obviously don’t know shit about nursing, but you have a good pair of eyes in your head. I’ll give you that! Do you know where the control room is, and which staff members operate it?” Carol asks. “No! don’t have a clue yet! With modern surveillance technology with motion detectors and Wi-Fi, it could very well be an app on your mobile phone or on your laptop to operate and read out the cameras. Operations- wise the staff members that have access to this surveillance system are most likely one of the head nurses that have to intervene on the floor in case of calamities and in particular your friend Jenny, the right hand of the old bat, that oversees everything! It is a high end secret surveillance system that could only have been installed with the knowledge of the management. And it has to remain secret because it is highly illegal to spy on your employees and on your patients in their private quarters without their knowledge and consent.  It is a severe breach of privacy. But that is what happens right here at Sandringham nursing home!” doctor Bunny explains a predatory smile. “Oh shit! If it is Jenny she most likely knows what happened to the missing nurses, but she pretends to know nothing.  What the hell is the game that is going on here? She feeds me titbits of information. Is that to help me or is she laying a false trail?”  Carol grasps in bewilderment. “Yep! I think that Jenny is the key here. She is not as innocent as she looks, and is quite likely involved in illegal activities. Perhaps she is even the spider in the web! Once that comes out it will cost her dearly. Her job, her reputation and her career! You see? There is much more here than meets the eye you stupid!  It is not only Beppo the clown that has secrets here! I will handle Jenny as I see fit, and that is why you stay out of this, my dear naïve nosy therapist, or I’ll make you stay out of this! Is that clear!.” Doctor Bunny gives her an ice cold glare as she cracks the knuckles of her fist to make her point. “Oh don’t make idle threats here girlie! I can blow your cover any time I want! Never forget that! Poofff! Bunny gone! Off the case, just like that!” Carol snarls back as she snaps her finger in a theatrical gesture.

 

“But, tell you what? I won’t do that because we both have a job to do here. Find the missing nurses remember?  Of course if you leave me no other option, you’ll get what’s coming! I’ll just go my own way here and leave you in peace. I expect you to do the same. So don’t you dare to cross me, miss high and mighty know-it all! I think this conversation is finished!” Carol announces angrily as she raises herself from her chair, picks up her coat and leaves the pub.

 

Carol has a lot to ponder about on her way back to her lodging house, especially about Bunny’s revelations about Jenny. Carol is a very good judge of character. She has learned to trust her instincts on this as a professional, and she is hardly ever wrong. She actually likes the lively bright young dedicated  and ambitious woman. There is a certain openness, uprightness and natural intuitiveness in her appearance and behaviour. Her unfeigned human interest is all natural and in no way forced. She is in no-way the ruthless scheming manipulative kind of person that fits the profile of the spider in the web here. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t play along. She might have been trapped here as well. A good and honest talk with Jenny could most likely provide a breakthrough in the case if she can gain her trust.

 

But doctor Bunny is there as well. She is very dedicated and driven to an extent that isn’t healthy anymore. She is a pro, extremely bright, and she is very good at what she does. She knows what is at stake here. If you cannot pick up the trail of a missing person within a couple of days, the chances of finding them back alive drop sharply.  Bunny will do anything to find the missing nurses alive, even if that means collateral damage to others like Jennifer or who-ever stands in her way. She doesn’t play by the book and she is completely ruthless.  That is why she probably was so good at catching serial killers. It takes a monster to catch monsters.

 

Carol views her undercover opponent with a mixture of admiration and revulsion. If anybody can find missing persons it’s Bunny Percy.  She is one of the best in the business. Carol fully understands that time is ticking away here, but she doesn’t have a clue what a loaded gun like Bunny Percy might do to get a breakthrough soon.  Better to keep a good eye on her, make your own plans and try to slip ahead of her. Timing is everything here! Carol decides.

 

 

In the meantime Doctor Bunny is bristling with fury in her boarding room. Dammit! Carol Kirkwood is really the last person she wants to run into here. There is something very unsettling about her. Good looks, calm, composed, charming, witty, understanding, reasonable and to the point. She inspires trust like the true high grade therapist that she is but there is a predator lurking behind the façade.  Bunny is quite an elusive person for a very good reason, and she guards her own dark secrets close to her chest, but with Kirkwood it feels like she is exposed all of the time. And the bitch has done it again a couple of times during their confrontation in the pub.  She knows when Bunny is lying or doesn’t tell her the whole truth. And then rubs it in with that awfully snug superior smile on her face like a therapist studying a nutcase! Carol Kirkwood has the habit of gaining your confidence, riding your coattails, and then suddenly she cuts ahead, jumps the queue and snatches the prize right before your very nose. She’s done that in the Holtham murder case. All the more hurtful for Bunny because she had it wrong and Carol Kirkwood had it right.  Bunny is hardly ever wrong and has a very good instinct and intuition, but she knows her weak point is that she sometimes tends to get overfocussed. Kirkwood quietly lapped everything up in her wake, observed closely and came up with the vital clue that everybody had missed.  You have to give it to her! Kirkwood is very good at this as well, but she does have that insufferable habit of rubbing it in every time you run into each other. So what to do now? You simply cannot make that awful woman disappear and she has leverage on you because she can blow your cover.  So why not do it the Kirkwood way? Observe her closely, see what she comes up with and then cut ahead with your own strike plan? Sound approach for the next few days! Doctor Bunny decides. “But if she dawdles and is wasting precious time here, I just might take her out and get to Jenny Peckingham myself!” she promises herself.

 

 

The next morning Carol is on the job. After making her mind up she has decided to go full steam ahead and put the pressure on Locatelli. To her relief she finds doctor Bunny behind the desk of the nurse station. “Hi Pammy! I’m going to have a therapy session with mister Locatelli. You know how he is don’t you? So if I’m not back within the hour, and nobody else shows up! (she gives Bunny a big wink) Would you please come to the rescue? I really liked the way you put him into place yesterday!” she smiles. Bunny flashes a small smile back. “Why sure! No Problem Carol! I have lived in Italy for eight years and know how to handle these grabby Italian men!” she winks back, indicating she gets the message. Carol will attempt to lure Locatelli into tying her up and when Jenny comes rushing to the rescue, that is a positive ID of her involvement in the illegal surveillance operation at Sandringham nursing home. Despite the personal adversity  between her and doctor Bunny, Carol feels in safe hands. She has been rescued by doctor Bunny before, and she knows she can utterly rely on her keeping her safe. Of course she cannot rule out that Bunny will stretch the rescue when she finds Carol tied up and gagged in an utterly stressful, compromising or humiliating position, but she counts on some goodwill here because she is willingly sharing her intentions and plans with her for the common cause.

 

Bunny sits behind the desk nurturing a small smile of admiration as she sees Carol walk away. Dammit! Kirkwood is not daft. Who will expect that there is not a single, but there are two different undercover agents present here on the case of the missing nurses? No doubt Kirkwood will play the confidential card to get all the leverage she needs to force a breakthrough. She is not the police, but present here on assignment from the board of directors, so she is in a position to bargain and sort things out without a criminal persecution. But she keeps Bunny behind her back as one of her trump cards with some real teeth. Bunny casually glances downwards into her handbag where she keeps her Walther P38 and her Scotland yard AFO detective batch.  “Clever! Very Clever! Kirkwood! Let’s see how the horses run here, shall we? !” Bunny muses.

 

 

Once she has entered Locatelli’s private quarters Carol instantly gets to business. Mister Locatelli, as you might know I am a fully qualified and licenced UKCP licensed therapist, and from my professional diagnosis based on yesterday’s interview with you,  I have established a treatment plan for the problem you have been here for in Sandringham for the past 10 years. “Stop Playacting!” she barks at him. That bold accusation entices Locatelli into a loud flurry of broad Italian gestures of outrage and absolute denials. “Facial surgery!” Carol cuts him short as she puts in the axe. “Your innocent Beppo the clown face and your old knowing eyes don’t match! Capisce?” she smiles. “Now let me tell you why I’m here. I’m not hired staff, but I’m here on assignment of the board of Sandringham nursing home to find out what happened to the missing nurses. I’m not police, so talk to me Beppo! I know you took advantage of your `mad patients’ playact to satisfy your fetish of tying up and gagging nice comely full figured curvy women with your hands all over them, but you behaved in not lowering your pants and taking full pleasures in their utter state of helplessness and attractiveness. That shows you’re not insane. You are a good man and have a conscience Locatelli. You actually love and care deeply about the women you subdue, tie up and gag and render completely helpless at your mercy don’t you? So what is the deal here? I have Madeline and Dora missing! That’s why I am here! Both of them were your favourite playthings am I right? Come on! Give me something here Beppo!” she urges Locatelli. Instead in response Locatelli suddenly starts speaking Italian and puts up his act as mad Beppo the bondage clown again. “Ahh! Che Bella! Voscenza permette Signora?” Beppo rises from his chair and casually advances on Carol. And then suddenly he turns and! SLAPPP! With his hand palm to her face she has taped her mouth shut with medical microfoam tape he has been holding there. Mfffff! And then quick as a snake  he grabs her in a headlock and brutally subdues her. He turns her on her chair and then ZIPP! ZIPP! Carol quickly gets her hands firmly secured behind her back with cable ties. “Fuck! This guy is a master kidnapper!” Carol realises to her abhorrence. It all happened so fast. She didn’t see it coming. In less than five seconds he has rendered her completely helpless, and now he is going to take his time with her with more, more and more rope in the right places, and all she can do is squirm to no avail and Mfff! helplessly through her gag.  “Ahh! Perfetto! Multo Perfetto! Mia Bella! ” Locatelli purrs into her ear as he lifts her skirt and starts stroking Carols firm pantyhose clad thighs and then.. GHHNN! She feels loops of cruel rope lashed very high up there and pulled real tight. In order to clinch these ropes, Locatelli reaches deep between her legs, brushing his hands at her pussy, and then GNNNN! GNNNN! GNNN!” The ropes are pulled tight and firmly knotted off!”  Locatelli clearly enjoys this. Carol merely casts him a baleful glare. “Sorry! Can’t help myself! Keeping up appearances you know? We’re on camera here! I will talk to you later and explain everything” Locatelli whispers into her ear as he leans over and starts fondling her generous 40DD breasts. “Mfff! Mffff! Mfff! Mfff!  Is the only muffled reply that Carols can utter in response.  “Ahh miss Kirkwood, you are a very pretty woman! Sitting pretty here! Why not letting make Beppo make you even sit more pretty here?” he purrs as he starts lashing Carol even more tightly to the chair she is sitting on. “GGNNN! Mffff!” Carol merely rolls her eyes, because that’s all that she has left to oppose Locatelli.  This is definitely the end to all of her futile struggles she realises as she casts him a plaintive glare. “”Mmmffff!” 

 

Carol is really bristling with fury now. “What a Jerk! I’m offering you the way out here Locatelli and all you can do in return is tie me up and gag me, and then grope my titties and my cunny!” He just counters her glare,  merely shrugs and then retreats into the toilet. “Fucking Wanker! Jerking off on me aren’t you?” Carol fumes through her gag in derision. To no avail. She’s totally helpless and from her own position it is plain that she will have to sit this one out! With whatever’s next!

 

Carol And Locatelli

 

So it takes a while, until all of a sudden Bunny comes barging into the room with Jenny in her wake. Locatelli tries to make a grab for her, but she swerves away from him, elbows him viciously into the yaw and when he bounces back from the wall, she knees him very hard  in the groin to finish him off with a flying kick. And once he is laid out there flat on the floor, the Italian screeching party really kicks off!  Locatelli is really scared shitless and quickly cowers away. “Oh my! I suppose this is `I told you so’ in Bunny fashion” Carol chuckles though her gag as she patiently waits to have all of her restraints removed.

 

“I warned him! He had that coming!” Bunny explains to Jenny. “And you Beppo! Don’t even think of it doing this again to nurse Carol! How many arms and legs you want to have left for the rest of your life?” she answers as she starts tying Carol loose from the chair while Jenny tries to soothe mister Locatelli.. Mfff? Carol asks. “You were right! Jenny is spying on us” she whispers in her ear.

 

Once the three of them have left the room Jenny takes nurse Pammy aside. She is really mad at her. “Beating up our patients is not the way we handle this at Sandringham nursing home miss Paterson! Your behaviour was way out of line. I will take it up with Mrs Greelsish and the board to discuss disciplinary measures. For now you stay away from Locatelli, is that clear?  she announces.  “Sorry to intrude boss, but it was self-defence, didn’t you notice?” Carol points out. “Instead of backing off, Locatelli attacked her and she responded brilliantly. If she hadn’t done so, It would likely have been all three of us ending up tied and gagged there. Remember what you told me? Once he gets a hold on you, you are finished! I now can speak from experience. I didn’t stand a chance against him, and neither would you Jenny” Carol explains. “As a professional therapist I tend to agree with nurse Paterson’s practical therapeutical approach. This has been going on for far too long. This man feels entitled and is utterly spoilt. He knows he can get away with everything so he does as he pleases.  Thus his behaviour gets worse and worse.  You cannot change that with soft therapeutical sessions anymore. Sometimes you have to be very clear and firm to him that there are rules and boundaries here at the Nursing home, and that they apply to him as well. If he breaks them, he faces the consequences! If you like, I’ll explain in private what I have in mind for mister Locatelli’s treatment in your office without nurse Paterson’s presence.” Carol proposes. “Thank you for your professional insight nurse Kirkwood.  I have to admit that Beppo’s behaviour has gotten worse after Madeline and Dora have dropped out of the nursing schedule. We have to do something about it and should discuss this immediately to prevent further escalation of the situation. If you please would follow me?” Jenny answers with a sigh of relief.

 

Carol quickly gives a wink to doctor Bunny when she follows her. Bunny nods back. She gets it. Carol has her one on one with Jenny and now she is going to put up the heat on her and make her talk. 

 

 

Fortunately Mrs Greelish is out and they have the whole office to themselves. Carol kicks off immediately. “You haven’t been totally frank with me, have you? During cleaning duty I found out that you have secret cameras installed in all of the patients quarters and that you have been spying on your staff Jenny! You also know about my conversation with Locatelli and my diagnosis of him. He has had facial surgery, he is perfectly sane and he is playacting! He uses this façade of the mad patient as a cover, because he is into hiding. I decided to put the pressure on him to lure you out, and you took the bait. Jenny rushing to the rescue! That wraps it up doesn’t it?” Carol smiles snugly.  Jenny instantly deflates. “Yeah! Stupid of me isn’t it? I was damn worried that Beppo was going to do something harmful to you because you blew his cover. I simply couldn’t let that happen! You are dead right. Beppo is a former mafia boss that has decided to switch sides as a pentiti and provided evidence against his fellow mafiosi. In return he’s into hiding here in the UK as the mad patient.  He is living in luxury here, and likes the quiet life we provide for him.  Reading, writing, a game of chess, good wines, excellent food, and good conversation. Beppo is a very charming and cultured man. He is in fact very good company. Most of the female nursing staff like him a lot. But as you have witnessed he also has his vices, so we provide that distraction for him as well.” Jenny explains. “So how about the missing nurses. You know, don’t you?” Carol raises a quizzical eyebrow. “Yes I know, but it doesn’t make any sense to me! Nothing happened during their night shift- that is- nothing out of the ordinary” she admits hesitantly.  “Ermm? Nothing out of the ordinary? Nurse Dora Cunningham sleeps with him doesn’t she? A man needs these things as well to keep him happy” Carol cuts in. “Yes she did, and she really enjoyed his cops and robbers games you know? Madeline enjoyed them as well. I watched the three of them play together” Jenny admits with an embarrassed look on her face.

 

“But then, during that night shift, Locatelli handed something to them, and the both of them simply left their nursing station, walked off,  and we never saw them again! Here, look for yourself Carol!” Jenny flips open her mobile phone and plays the video. Carol studies it attentively and then hands it back. “So the ladies are most likely alive and well, but you little snoop couldn’t show your hand here, because that would have cost you your position, am I right?” Carol asks. “Yeah! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! The idea came from Mrs Greelish. She has a nephew who is into the security business and he talked her into installing the spy cam circuit during the renovation of the closed wing  two years ago.  I saw the dangers and was vehemently opposed to it, but she ignored me.  Once it was installed though I really started to appreciate it as a management tool.  It is very tempting and also very addictive. You can even watch and monitor everything from home on your mobile. So I used it quietly to steer and coach the staff and looking for ways to improve things.  Not that they need much coaching. They are excellent! But it is also good to see for yourself when things run smoothly” Jenny explains. “And of course you also get the free bondage nurse videos from Locatelli on your phone. Do they turn you on?” Carol cuts in."After all, you already admitted that you got damn horny by the fashion in which Locatelli tied you up and gagged you, remember?" Carol rubs it in with a raised quizzical eyebrow.

 

“Oh well, let’s just say they are interesting, also from a therapeutical view. You see how their play evolves and how Beppo constantly tries to find new ways to tempt,tease and please the lady with his ropework and his roleplay”

 

Locatelli and nurse Dora In Room 2

 

Jenny answers stiffly with her cheeks flushed. “And of course you are here for a purpose aren’t you Carol? You are not a real nurse but a private detective from what I observed on the cameras. So who hired you?” Jenny bounces the ball back to Carol. “Correct! I was hired by Lady Greenwood from the board of directors to investigate the case of the missing nurses, so I am not the police!” Jenny utters a sigh of relief. “So now that you know what happened to them. What will you do?” she asks anxiously. Carol scratches her chin pensively. “First we’ll have to know what kind of game the three of them are playing. Locatelli knows he’s being watched. But undoubtedly he will get to me and set up a meeting. He promised me to explain everything to me when he tied me up you know?” Carol explains. “Once we know, we’ll try to convince Madeline and Dora to give a sign of life, we destroy all of the illegal spy cams and wrap the whole thing up.” she smiles.

 

“Ermm.. But what about that other newbie, Pammy Paterson? There’s something not right about her either. Is she in league with you?” Jenny asks. “Oh no! Doctor Panny Paterson is the real thing. But she has something with groping Italian men. She has lived in Italy for many years. My professional hunch as a therapist is that she has been a victim of sexual abuse there, and that is why she acts so violently. She is really a sweet lass and a great professional, but abusive male behaviour is definitely an issue with her.” Carol Kirkwood lies smoothly. “Sorry have to get back to my station now! Duty calls! Don’t worry! It’ll be all right Jenny” Carol squeezes her reassuringly in the shoulder as she rises from her chair and leaves the room.  On her way back to the station she briefly drops by the canteen where she quickly scribbles a note to Bunny explaining all that she has found out, which she will slip to her unobtrusively once she returns.

 

“And how did it go?” Bunny inquires. “Oh well I managed to talk some sense into miss Peckingham. You’re off the hook now Pammy!” she smiles as she quietly slips Bunny the note. “Oh and by the way, Mister Locatelli wants to apologize to you for his rude behaviour. Our new therapeutical approach seems to work doesn’t it?” Bunny grins. “Sure looks like it Pammy!” Carol grins back over her shoulder.

 

Back in his quarters Locatelli profusely apologizes for suddenly jumping and tying up Carol and slips a hundred and a fifty pound note into her cleavage. “ For the inconvenience” he smiles broadly with a more than obvious look at the two folded up pound notes. Carol nods. She gets it. There is a secret message there.

 

Once she is out of the room, she fishes the money out of her bra. The fifty pound note says: “Gardeners shed, 3.00 PM” Carol quickly slips doctor Bunny the note. Now they need to find a way to talk quietly and unobserved to coordinate their actions.  Bunny obviously has other plans as Carol is about to find out. She receives the note “Broom closet!” from Bunny but once she arrives there, she is suddenly grabbed from behind. “Fuck! Patchouli girl is at it again!” Carol realises in panic as she feels a wet cloth full of chloroform pressed over her mouth and nose and then everything turns black.

 

“Sorry! But it is for your own good Kirkwood! This is probably a ploy to kidnap you and you stupid cow would have stumbled right into their trap with both eyes open! We cannot have that can we? Two missing nurses is already enough!” Bunny smiles as she lowers Carols unconscious body to the ground. “Now make sure you’re not going anywhere honey!” she chuckles.

 

When Carol wakes up she finds herself tightly tied up and gagged locked up in the broom closet. “Shit! That devious bitch of a Bunny Percy has doublecrossed her! Moreover this is already the second time that she ends up in such a predicament stashed in a closet” Carol fumes. “Mffff! Mfff!” “Beng! Beng!” she tries to make as much noise as possible to call attention to herself, hooting on top of her lungs through her gag and banging at the door with her feet.  To her relief she hears high heeled footsteps down the hall and then the door opens. “Thank god! It is Jenny!” Carol sighs in relief. Mff! Mff! Jenny kneels down and quickly pries the sticky medical microfoam tape gag off her lips. “Zipppp!” “Ouch! Shit that hurts” Carol winces. “Thanks anyway dear! So what brings you to the rescue here?” Carol asks as she rolls herself out of the closet. Then her jaw drops when she sees Bunny, all tied up and gagged squirming on the floor in the hallway! “Oh my god! What is this Jenny?” she asks incredulously. “Oh well. I couldn’t help myself! So after half an hour I got so damn curious about your meeting with Locatelli that I turned the spy-app on my phone on. I didn’t see you around in the closed section, went looking for you, and then I scrolled back and noticed that that devious woman over there had chloro’d you out, tied you up and gagged you and then stashed you in the broom closet. Well I took care of her with your tazer!” Jenny smiles snugly.

 

 

Nurse Bunny with Jenny the snoop

 

“Oh shit! Do you really want to know who that is? That is a policewoman over there! Detective Bunny Percy from Scotland Yard! Now you really are in deep shit you know?” Carol blurts out. "Mffffffff!" Carol instantly gets the sticky microfoam tape gag slapped back over her lips again and ""GNNNN" feels the ropes around her wrists pulled tight again and firmly knotted off. Then "Muaggrrr!" She feels her skirt lifted and "Slapp! Mffff!" Jenny spanks her very hard on her pantyhose clad bum with the flat of her hand. "Oh my God! I cannot believe this! Carol! What a foul trick! Damit! I trusted you, I told you everything,  and in return you doublecross me with this undercover policewoman right under my nose. You should have told me, but instead you lied to me! Don't worry Jenny Pammy is the real thing! My arse! No doubt she already  knows everything I've told you in good confidence am i right?" she bristles as she steps back to let it all sink in on her, scratching her chin pensively. "Well that leaves me no option. I think that you, me and Bunny over there are going to have a nice and quiet little chat together in the storage room, and you won't get out until we all have come to a satisfactory arrangement here!" she  announces as she starts dragging Bunny away.

 

 

Bunny, Carol and Jenny Tied Up

 

“Ahh Miss Kirkwood! There you are! I thought we had an appointment at three at the gardeners shed!” comes the voice of Locatelli as he steps into the hall accompanied by Madeline Craye and Dora Cunningham, the missing nurses. “Oh my god! This is priceless! It is pure and undiluted Comedy Capers here with everybody doublecrossing everybody!"He laughs wholeheartedly as he takes in the scene before him. “We were in fact planning to kidnap you Miss Kirkwood. You knew too much so we decided to buy us some time by having you disappear for a while. But then you didn’t show up at our rendez- vous, so we decided to investigate. Who would have guessed what we found here? This saves us a lot of trouble don't you think Maddy and Dora? Now we already have Miss Kirkwood the nosy therapist tied up. We have that awful policewoman Bunny Percy tied up as well, and as the cherry on the pie,  we now also have your nosy boss, Jenny the snoop,  present here!” Locatelli grins as he advances menacingly on them. “What should we do with her Beppo?” Dora Cunningham asks. “What do you suggest my dears?” he smiles. “Tie her up and gag her!” the two answer as they pounce on Jenny, wrestle her to the floor and start to tie her up as well.

 

Jenny The Snoop Caught By Dora And Maddy

 

In the meantime Beppo takes doctor Bunny’s bottle of chloroform and a piece of cloth and chloro’s both Carol and Bunny out.  It doesn’t take long before Jenny is also tied up with her hands behind her back, ropes above and below her breasts, ropes around her ankles, above and below her knees, and gagged with multiple loops of medical tape over her mouth. “Shall we chloro her out as well?” Madeline asks. “No! I think we should leave her fully conscious as we take the ladies to our hideout. I think she needs some time to ponder about her sins don’t you think?” Beppo decides. “Naugthy Naughty! Miss Peckingham. I was making love to my woman and you were taping it all! Don’t you have any sense of decency? I think she needs a lesson, don’t you think my dears?” Locatelli smiles. “She sure does!” Madline and Dora reply in unison. 

 

“Can you get the van Dora?” I think that nurse Puttrawatti needs a light tie-up treatment as well.

 

When Carol and Bunny regain consciousness, they find themselves immovably tightly lashed to a chair. “Mfff?” Carol asks Bunny who sits squirming on her chair trying to get loose. “Mfff! Mfff!” Bunny answers as she shakes her head. Then she looks over her shoulder and points at the way her hands are tied behind her back. “Mff! Mff! Mff” she indicates. Carol gets it. Both of the ladies have their hands firmly tied behind their backs, and multiple loops lash their wrists firmly to their waist. But their wrists are also tied to the bars of the back-rest of the chair. And with these bars in front of their hands, they cannot use their fingers to pry each other’s knots loose. “Shit! This is damn frustrating! This jerk of a Locatelli damn well knows what he is doing roping women up!” Carol realises as she hopelessly shrugs her shoulders. “Mfff?” she asks. “Mff?” Bunny shrugs back. “Mff! Mff!” comes the reply from Jenny.  She is brutally lashed on her belly to the table top. Her hands are tied behind her back, her panties are pulled down and her bare bum shows a vivid red colour. It is clear that Locatelli and his mistresses have indeed taught Jenny a lesson she’ll never forget. Jenny’s mascara and eye make-up is all over her face as a silent witness of that. “Muhuhuhu!” Jenny has started sobbing again!

 

Then the door opens and Locatelli and his two missing nurses enter the room.

 

“Ahh Che Bella! Essere in una botte de ferro! Che altro voi?” he smiles in admiration of his thoroughly trussed up and gagged victims that are squirming alluringly on their chairs. 

 

“Ahh I think I owe you two an explanation. You both were sent to Sandringham nursing home to bravely rescue my two bondage muses that didn’t need to be rescued, and now you are both are sitting pretty here as a result of your efforts” he smiles snugly.  “I must give it to you! You are both very good, and blew my cover almost instantly. But it all started six months ago. As you have found out I am a mafia pentiti that has gone into hiding here at Sandringham nursing home in the UK, posing as the mad patient. I am a married man, but my wife severed all ties with me when I turned and blew the whistle on my fellow mafiosi and her family. Fortunately I found solace in the arms of my two bondage nurses over here, Maddy and Dora! Night shift was magic you know? What more can a man ask with these two beauties in his bed and the expert passionate care they provide? And then Maddy found out that Jenny the snoop over there had been taping all of our intimacies with a secret camera. Then our private little love shack over here really wasn’t so appealing anymore, so we started to think bigger. Maddy over there is single, and also loves women, and Dora has a bad marriage and is married to an abusive husband.  So why not Beppo having two women, and we all three happy live together in comfort in a big house under the sun. Beppo has money aplenty you know? Money that nobody knows about! Beppo once banker for the mafia, and very good at his job” he grins ruefully. So we quietly make preparations for our new future but then abusive husband beats up my dear Dora and we had to speed up things. So Dora and Maddy disappear and do the job of arranging escape plan and Beppo the Clown stays behind to watch what happens at the Nursing home. Stupid Jenny over there knows the whole thing but keeps her mouth shut, and you two pretties get flown in to the rescue of my damsels that aren’t in distress and almost ruin everything. Beppo also gets beaten up by woman detective Bunny, which Dora over there finds very funny. She says I had that coming” he grins sheepishly. “You sure did! You scoundrel! Excellent job Bunny! That sure taught him a lesson you know? Some men think they can get away with anything” Dora winks at her tied up and gagged captive. “Mffff!” Mfff!” Doctor Bunny answers with a shrug of her shoulders.

 

“So the escape plan is almost ready now with new identities for the ladies. Maddie also plays very good prank on nurse Puttrawatti. She shows Beppo all tied up and gagged to her before she chloro’s her out. So everybody will think that whoever is missing now from the nursing home is kidnapped. We’ll keep you ladies tied up here for a couple of days, and then we phone the police to rescue you when we are out of the country! How about that?” Locatelli smiles. “Mfff! Mfff! Mfff!” all three tied up and gagged ladies obviously agree to Beppo’s proposal.

 

 

Of course sitting helplessly tied up and gagged on a chair isn’t exactly Carols and Bunny’s favourite pastime, so the ladies are quite determined not to sit out all of their time here. The chairs they are both firmly lashed onto aren’t metal but wood, and they are quite old and feeble. When you wiggle on your chair, you can hear the joints creak. Carol shows it to Bunny, and Bunny creaks her chair back in reply. “Mfff?” have you noticed? Mfff? Shall we try?” Bunny Mffs back. And then suddenly both ladies embark on a daring escape plan that isn’t without the risk of serious personal injury. Carol hops on her chair over to the wall, topples backwards and violently slams the backrest of her chair into it. Creak! Creak! She feels something give there. Bunny tries to do it sideways, to even greater effect. Creak! The top joint of her chair gives and the whole structure of the chair collapses, with also Bunny tumbling down to the floor into a heap. She is still firmly tied up, but at least she has room to move now and can use her fingers. Slam! Carol gives it another try and gets rewarded by a satisfying creak. Two of the bars of the back-rest have broken. She gives a tug with her hands on the broken bars, pushes them out of the way and now she has use of her fingers as well. “Mfff! Mfff!” Worked didn’t it? Carol nods at Bunny. “Mfff!” now let’s get out of these damn ropes!” Bunny nods back.  Bunny and Carol move back to back and start prying at each other’s knots. It is an arduous job, but patience and perseverance is finally rewarded when Bunny gets her hands free. “Woahhhh! Finally got rid of that horrible sticky gag!” she laughs after she has pulled the sticky fabric off her face. “Now let’s get you hussy out of your ropes as well presto!” she announces as she starts tying Carol loose in turn. And then they both start to free poor Jenny that got her butt spanked from her ordeal on the table. “Oh Wow! Thank you! Thank you so much Bunny and Carol. It was horrible what these bitches did to me. It really hurt, and they just went on and on! And you two were still out!” she sobs.

 

“So now we finally have managed to free ourselves what do we do now?” Carol asks. “Straight to the police!” Jenny proposes. “Well you are the police here Bunny! What do you think?” Carol grins. Bunny scratches her chin pensively. “Why don’t we get even and give these bastards tit for tat? We can set a trap here. I mean, they are bound to return because they won’t leave us here tied up and gagged without food and drink for more than 24 hours or they’ll have a triple murder on their hands. For sure they don’t want that! I can take out Locatelli and if you two can take out the other chicks?” she proposes. “Oh yeah! I’d really want to get my hands on that bitch Maddy. She hit me damn hard on my butt you know?”  Jenny bristles. “Oh whatever! It’s a democratic vote isn’t it and I’m already outvoted here. So yeah! I’ll take down Dora, although I kinda like her!” Carol shrugs.

 

Quickly the ladies search the house in which they were held captive.  As they had expected with the final preparations taking place, there’s nobody present, but the villains also brought their captives personal belongings with them, including Carols Tazer and Bunny’s bottle of chloroform. “Oh wow! Now these are really game changers don’t you think? We’re in business here ladies! ” Bunny hoots as she waves them around in front of their noses.

 

So they wait for the villains to return and set up their ambush. Fortunately they don’t have to wait too long for their revenge. “Oh wow! This even gets better! We only have Locatelli’s angels at the door! This should be a piece of cake for the three of us!” Bunny smiles as she peeks out the window from behind the curtains. “Everybody in position now ladies!” she orders. Carol is back in the room and will provide the gag talk to distract them and put them at ease. Bunny and Jenny will hit them from behind with the taser and the chloroform. “Mfff! Groarrphhh! Whllpphhh! Whllphh! Snnghgrrbwoah Whllphh mpffff?” Carol almost slips into a fit of laughter with all of the silly gag talk she utters with her own hand clamped over her mouth and she has trouble keeping a straight face. Then the door opens. She sees the appalled expression on Maddy’s and Dora’s face when they discover that Carol has freed herself. She sees Bunny and Jenny emerging behind them and then “BZZZZZZZ” BZZZZZZ” Fully paralyzed by the electric shock of the Tazer, both ladies fall flat on their faces in front of her! “Quick! Ropes and Tape!” Bunny gestures. “Tie them up and gag them!”

 

Jenny The Snoop And Maddy And Dora

 

Everybody digs in with gusto and in no time both Maddy and Dora are rendered completely speechless and helpless. The ladies step back and admire their handiwork. They are expertly tied up real tight, and are totally helpless and absolutely not going anywhere. “So how do we get them to talk? We still don’t know about their escape plan and where Beppo is” Carol asks. “Give them a good spanking?” Jenny proposes eagerly. “Nahh! That’s brutal Jenny! How about some tickle torture? Who do you think is the really ticklish one here?” Bunny scratches her chin pensively. It turns out to be poor Dora and in less than three minutes she is already forced to throw the towel into the ring and confesses everything. The three of them have new prepaid mobile phones, they have new passports and a fake identity and they have a private yacht laying in the marina at Bournemouth ready to ship them out of the country. “Showdown with Locatelli now isn’t it?” Carol asks Bunny as she takes pictures of their tied up and gagged captives and sends them over to Locatelli on his WhatsApp. Bunny has crept up silently behind Jenny and with a big wink to Carol MFFFFFFF! choro’s her out.

 

 

Carol And Bunny Make Short Work Of Their Boss

 

 “I think we have to keep Jenny the snoop out of the way for what comes next if we are forced to bend some rules  here don’t you think Carol? Come on! Let’s make this good !” she grins as they both start tying up Jenny on the bed and tape her mouth shut. Then they set up a confrontation at the Bournemouth marina with Locatelli. He’s ready to turn himself in for unlawful deprivation of liberty and assaulting a police officer, provided Maddy and Dora walk free without charges, but to his astonishment Bunny just tosses him the keys of the van in which he finds his two tied up and gagged angels.

 

 

Nurse Maddie And  nurse Dora Van Ride

 

 “Go ahead! Sail out with the tide Beppo! Be happy together and stay alive!” Bunny smiles ruefully as she waves them away. Carols jaw drops. This is absolutely not what she had expected. Bunny really is a bitch at times but she also has a heart as big as a whale which she shows here! Then Bunny puts a companionable arm over Carols shoulder as they both watch the yacht sail away. “Do you think they will make it?” Carol asks. “Not a clue, but it is a shot at happiness that they deserve in such a bleak world don’t you think?” Bunny replies. “Sail into the sunset! How romantic!” she muses as her eyes turn misty. “Yeah! A fitting end to the story don’t you think?” Carol agrees.

 

 

 “And now let’s get ourselves a drink here in Bournemouth.  You phone Rachel Roberts that we have the whole case wrapped up here and instruct her to free Jenny Peckingham at Locatelli’s hideout!” Carol proposes. “Yep! Sounds like a plan! Why don’t we both also book ourselves a hotel here? I think the two of us have a lot to discuss and to sort out between ourselves and might get massively drunk in the process!” Bunny chuckles. “Yeah, Bondage most certainly creates a bond doesn't it? I am definitely looking at you with different eyes now! So,plan it is! Way to go girl!” Carol smiles back as she gives Bunny a high five.

 

End.

 

 

Epilogue. (five weeks later)

 

 

Carol, Bunny and Jenny are having a pub meal at the Swan on main street. They are all in a festive mood, so it is clear that they have settled their differences. “Oh my! You two are the most terrible staff  I’ve ever had! I was so mad at you!” Jenny laughs.  First you deny me a chance to get even with Maddy, Dora and Locatelli. They really abused me you know? And then my two faithful employees cholo out their boss and leave her tied up and gagged on a bed for four hours. Then Rachel Roberts shows up, unties me, tells me they’ve got the whole case wrapped up and that she will write me an official report before dropping me off at home.  And then at three a clock in the morning, I suddenly get the  two of you the phone, obviously very drunk.  “Yeah! Sorry boss! But me and Bunny had some unfinished business here, Hahah! We’re both as drunk as an owl now, so we won’t show up for work tomorrow. No we won’t! I heard Bunny slur into the microphone. “So you can dismiss us immediately bwahahahah” And then I hear Carol say “ And we don’t care a shit if you do!” (drunk giggles from the both of you)  “But then, we’re willing to stay on until you’ve found a replacement for the both of us” I heard Bunny giggle. “Haha! Both absolutely pissed but also absolutely brilliant and invaluable! Think about it Jenny! Just message us! Bwahahaha! Bye Bye!!! (drunk giggles again)” and then you sods hung up on me!” I tried to call you back but you didn’t pick up the phone anymore!  I really was so fucking raving mad at you! Can you imagine that?” she laughs. “Yeah that was rather insolent wasn’t it?”  Carols gins back. “Better call it serious boss abuse Carol! The two of us seem to be rather good at this don’t you think?” Bunny laughs. “Yeah sorry Jenny we were horrible weren’t we?” Carol asks. “Cannot deny that! You two are a boss’s worst nightmare! So why didn’t I fire you on the spot?” she asks quizzically. “Because you needed us! That’s why!” Bunny and Carol grin back. “It turned out right didn’t it? I persuaded Lady Greenwood  and the board of directors to quietly remove Mrs Greelish to an honorary position and promote you to her position of general manager of Sandringham Nursing home, and Bunny has arranged additional management support and personal coaching for you from the Beresford Foundation. So you’ll now have a whole network of experts and professionals to support you and the pay check you deserve for your dedicated work and commitment” Carol points out.  “Bunny and Carol, All of this may be true, but  I’m afraid all of this doesn’t really make you a lesser pain in the arse, so I’m perfectly  happy to finally get rid of you!” Jenny counters. “Sure! We’re not real nurses. We had a different agenda from the start. We accomplished our mission. Yours has only just started” Bunny and Carol Grin back. “More over we know too much, which could make our future working relationship rather uncomfortable, don’t you think?” Carol raises a quizzical eyebrow. “Too many secrets. That is the bottom line of this whole case, and that is why it all went so terribly out of hand here. Everybody could blackmail and  expose everybody. Everybody distrusted each other and tried to double-cross everybody. Should we simply have talked this out in good faith with everybody involved, none of this would have happened. Me and Carol analysed and evaluated the whole case over a couple of good bottles of wine and made up with each other and settled our differences. We didn’t exactly behave like adults here.” Bunny grins. “It all starts with you Jenny. Of course you know who Locatelli really is, and with your spy cam you discover that Dora is committing adultery, and both of your nurses are having sex with a patient, which is cause for immediate dismissal. And you have it all on tape, just in case it comes in handy in the future to have leverage on all three of them. Maddy finds out, and that could also create a huge scandal with your own head on the stake. But the three love-birds also know how important jour job is to you and that you are terribly dangerous and unpredictable once you are cornered. Because they love each other too much, and their happiness and personal health is at stake, they decide to forego the confrontation, and instead go for plan B, which is to slip away from you and start anew. That in turn triggers the reaction of the two of us getting flown in, and between the three of us it is also the same thing. Each of us can blow each other’s cover. I had to lie and double-cross you to keep Bunny in the game and keep up her cover, and Bunny double-crossed me because I’m stubborn and I was putting myself in terrible danger. Sound assessment as it turns out in retrospect. And then we double-crossed you for the second time.” Carol grins. “Yeah, me and Carol kidnapped Maddy and Dora, tied them up and gagged them to teach all three of them a valuable lesson, but the two of us had already agreed to let them go in the first place. We understand each other you know? That was the only way, and the right thing to do here. We couldn’t have you hothead with a very sore bum and massively hurt pride interfere here. With you all tied up and your  mouth taped shut we figured you wouldn’t be able to press charges” Bunny chuckles.

 

“Yes! But they are criminals! Look at what they did to me! How they abused and humiliated me!” Jenny fumes. “No they aren’t!” Bunny and Carol reply in unison. “There is no criminal act if no charges are being pressed” Bunny explains. “You were never in any danger here Jenny. They only hurt your pride a little, and perhaps your gorgeous bum a bit more!” she chuckles. “Don’t be a petty girl Jenny, it doesn’t become you. You’re much better than that” Carol scolds her. “Me and Bunny both have gone through worse in our lives. Much worse! You don’t want to know!” she explains as she casts Jenny a withering glare. “It did teach us a valuable lesson Jenny. We lived and learned. We both know the importance of true worth. Small things! Love, happiness! We’d never deny our three love birds a chance at that. So if you would have insisted to press charges, Carol and me would have been forced destroyed you. We don’t want that Jenny!” Bunny speaks softly as presses her hand in reassurance. “We’re the good guys here remember! Let’s make this a better world!” she grins. “Yes! We’ve all been taught a valuable lesson here I think. We weren’t exactly bright here weren’t we?” Jenny smiles fondly at her two devious, ruthless, mutinous untrustworthy employees. “No we damn weren’t boss!” comes the answer in unison. “So now that I finally have you off my arse! Can we expect more brilliant stupidity from the two of you?” Jenny smiles. Bunny and Carol turn to each other and look each other deep in the eyes. Then they both smile. “Ahhh who knows? Stupid and brilliant does it for us! Together we make a brilliant team because of our common traits don’t you think Carol?” Bunny chuckles. “Yep! We are true birds of a feather Bunny, much more than we ever thought or wanted to admit to ourselves” Carol answers. “Haha! We only had to exchange a brief glance before we both jumped you and choro’d you out Jenny! It was so funny!” Bunny laughs. “Only thing we’d probably need to sort out is who is in charge!” Carol roars.
