Nina
“I cannot believe you went through that, Sherri - how on earth did you
cope?”
The two women were sitting in a quiet corner of the wine bar, looking at
each other over the table. The one who
had just spoken was tall, sitting confidently with her frizzed copper brown
hair falling around her neck and shoulders.
She was wearing a pale cream silk blouse and tan slacks, with heels.
The other woman, the one she called Sherri, was smaller and not quite so
thin, and she sat with her hands tightly clasped round the wine glass, her eyes
cast down. Her dark hair was cut short,
but as she looked up there was a real haunted look in her eyes.
“I don’t know - I closed my eyes and prayed it would be over, but it
wasn’t. Not until the next morning. When
I was finally found, I cried for hours, and now - now I need to recover. Nina, I can’t believe I fell
victim to him.”
“Sherri, for the umpteenth time, it wasn’t your fault. This man preys on women, and you have nothing
to be ashamed about.”
“I know,” Sherri said as she drained her glass, “but it’s going to take
me a long time to get over it, if I ever do.
Physically, yes, but mentally...”
“How has...” Sherri looked up and
said “He held me all last night. I tell
you if it wasn’t for him - or old friends like you...”
Nina put her hand on Sherri’s as she started to sib again. “Give it time, Sherri, give it time,” she
said quietly before her friend wiped her eyes.
“Thanks,” she said quietly, “but I need to get going. Isn’t it the concert tonight?”
Nina looked at her watch, and gasped slightly. “Damn - I’m sorry, but I have to go. Will you be all right?”
“He’s coming to pick me up - I should be safe enough in here. Go - and enjoy the concert.”
Nina stood up, picked up her handbag, waved to Sherri and made her way to
the exit. As she did so, she passed a
tall, well built man in a dark suit, who was looking
at some papers on the table. He glanced
up at Nina, then over at Sherri, before he looked again at the sheet in his
folder.
City: _____________
Victim file #8
Name: Nina Swanson
Age: 48
Marital Status: Divorced
Occupation: Manager, Victoria Centre for the Performing Arts
Children: 2 sons, both not resident at home, but run business from garage
Material Status 1-10: 9
As always, he
had been very thorough in his background checks. The divorce had left her with a comfortable
settlement, and the position she held meant she was both well paid and well
respected. She always dressed
tastefully, even when she was being casual.
As for the business her sons ran, their office was in her garage - an
additional bonus for him.
Physical Status 1-10: 7
From the
nights he had spent in the centre, she had admired her dress sense, and her
taste in shoes. She was possibly a mite
too tall, and was older, but he felt he could handle that.
Time Alone 1-10: 8
There had
been a previous visit, but her boys had been home, and on another time - well,
ironically, she had no t been at home, but visiting her best friend Sherri. He allowed his mind to go back to that night,
and smiled
Target Home 1-10: 10
Yes, her
house was alarmed, but on the second occasion he had got in without any
problem, and left without leaving a trace - she was so bad at remembering to
turn the alarm system on. Also, on a
work night she was never home before midnight - so long as he made sure the
sons were not there tonight, this was it.
Score from 40: 34
Target Ranking 8 of 20
Date for assault: ______________________
He put the
folder and the rest of his papers into his briefcase, finished his drink and
waited for Sherri and her husband to exit first. She didn’t even look at him, as he left a tip
on the table, and then made his way to the car park...
The house has
sat in darkness as he sat in the car, waiting for the darkness to fade enough
for the lights to come on. As the orange
glow came to the lamps, he got out of the car, collected his bag from the boot
and walked the short distance across the playing field, using a penknife to open
her rear gate and making her way across the yard to her rear door.
As he worked
on the lock, he took in a slow breath and then opened the door, listening for
the tell tale sound of an alarm. As no
such sound reached him, he sighed and let himself in, closing the door behind
himself as he relaxed. Using his
penlight, he looked round the kitchen, and then the main living area. He smiled to himself as he saw the ornate
hangings, the pictures, the furniture. This was going to be a very profitable
night...
For now,
however, he would sit and wait - perhaps check the bedroom. After all, he had the whole night before
him...
“Thank you
for your hard work tonight - I think the event has been a huge success. I’ll see you all tomorrow afternoon.”
Nina watched
as the Centre staff went their separate ways, talking about the performance by
the Philharmonic that night. She was
wearing a smart grey jacket and skirt - the jacket was fitted, with a large
collar that had a black lining with white polka dots visible on the
lapels. A similar trim was just above
the edge of her jacket sleeves, which came to just above her elbows.
The large
black buttons up the front complemented the trim, while the grey jacket when
you looked closely revealed itself to be alternating darker and lighter
stripes. The skirt itself came down her
thighs, not quite to her knees, and she wore under it sheer hose and a pair of
black patent leather heels with five inch heels.
Smiling, she
returned to the office and collected her purse, then said good night to the
security guard as she made her way to the car.
As she drove off, she turned on the radio and listened to the news as
she drove along.
“Police are
still looking for the man known as the Midnight Caller, who has carried out a
number of attacks on women in the area.
They warned women to be on their guard...”
“That didn’t
help Sherri,” Nina said to herself, but as she drove along she put the news to
the back of her head, listening instead to the DJ as he played music to take
you to midnight...
As she drove
into her driveway, she didn’t notice the flick of her bedroom curtains, but
instead stretched and yawned as she unlocked her front door and walked in. “Shit,” she said as she looked at the alarm
control panel, “Did I forget to set it AGAIN!”
Placing her purse on the table, she made her way to the kitchen, opening
the refrigerator and taking out a bottle of water. She unscrewed the top, taking a long drink
before placing the bottle back in the fridge and walking back into the main
room.
She only had
time to turn on the lights before she was grabbed from behind, a large hand
clamping itself over her mouth as she heard a man saying “Don’t move a muscle,
don’t scream, don’t struggle - it will do you no good.”
“M”MMMMMGFDDDDDD”
Nina screamed out as she tried to wriggle free, but his grip was too strong,
and she could feel his chest against the back of her head as he pulled
back. “I told you not to struggle, “ he said as Nina caught the gleam of the light against a
knife that was next to her eye “Unless you wish to feel this against your
skin.”
Nina
swallowed hardly and then shook her head slightly from side to side. “Better,” the voice behind her said, “Now I’m
going to let you go, and I want you very slowly put your hands on your head. If you don’t I will cut something, right
here, right now. Nod if you will do as I
say.”
Slowly, Nina
nodded her head up and down, and as the hand was taken from her mouth she
raised her hands, placing them palms down on her head as the sleeves of her
jacket slipped down. Turning slowly, she
looked at the tall, broad shouldered man standing there in an open necked shirt
and slacks, the stocking over his head keeping his hair down and blurring his
features.
“Now,” he
said slowly and carefully as he waved the knife in front of her, “Very slowly,
walk over and take a seat, then stretch your legs out in front of you.”
As she walked
over and sat on the small couch, Nina saw the man open a bag that was sitting
on a coffee table, and take out a roll of silver duct tape. “Are you going to rob me,” she said quietly
as he walked over and knelt in front of her on one knee, taking her ankles and
placing them on his other leg.
“You will
find out soon enough,” he said as he looked at her, and then ripped the end of
the tape free from the roll, holding Nina’s ankles together as he wound the
tape tightly round them. She grimaced as
she felt her ankles been secured together, but said nothing, looking to the
door as if a rescuer was going to come in.
“Do you think
your sons are going to come in and interrupt us? I think they may have been gone home
instead.” Nina stared at the man as he
taped her legs tightly together, both above and below her knees, before she
said “How do you know I don’t have a husband who’s going to come home and kick
your ass to the station?”
“I know,” the
man said as he lowered Nina’s legs, the tape bands tightening around her legs
as he did so, “because I have seen the divorce petition. The internet is a wonderful thing - now, put
your hands together in front of you, palms together.”
Nina stared
at him, as he quickly taped her wrist together, and then to her surprise taped
her arms together below her elbows, making them touch as she gasped out “That
hurts!” She felt her arms pressing down
on her chest as she looked up
at him.
“Then don’t
struggle, and maybe when I am finished I will tie them in a more comfortable
position,” the intruder said as he looked at her. “Now, why don’t you tell me where you left
your purse?”
“It... It’s
in the kitchen,” Nina said as she shifted in the seat, trying to get
as comfortable as she could. “Just
take it and go - even creatures such as you need to sleep.”
“Creatures
such as me? My my
- your fiend Sherri was much more polite when I visited her the other night.”
Nina stopped
when she heard this, and looked at him as she realised what he said. “No,” she finally gasped, “You’re not...”
“I am Nina -
and I already know where your valuables and your jewellery are, so we don’t
need to have this conversation.” As he
said this, the man knelt in front of her and eased her shoes off her feet, his
strong hands stroking and massaging her feet as she gasped at his touch.
“Oh god,” she
finally whispered as his fingers stroked over the soles of her feet, “What are
you going to do with me?”
“Well, for
now,” he said as he stood up, “I need to take your valuables, which means I
need to take care of you and keep you quiet.”
“What do you
mean, take care of...” Nina’s voice
tailed off as she watched him reach into the bag, and take out a bikini brief
which he folded up in his gloved hand.
“I mean I need to keep you quiet,” he said as he walked back over, “so
please, open your mouth.”
“NO!” Nina shouted out and then clamped her mouth
shut, looking defiantly at him. The man
smiled and walked past her, stroking her hair back before he started gently,
yet firmly pull on it.
“I said open
wide,” he whispered as Nina opened her mouth in surprise, allowing him to push
the bikini briefs in and then say “Do not spit those out, or you will regret
it.” Letting go of her hair, he quickly
tore off slapped strip after strip of tape over her mouth, until her jaw was
covered in a layer of silver.
“PLssdntdths” Nina moaned as she tried to
get his attention, but he ignored her for a moment, going into the kitchen
and returning with her purse. As she
watched, he emptied the contents into his bag, before placing it on the side
and smiling at her.
“Well, I
think I need to go and collect the rest of your things now,” he said as without
warning he lifted her feet and swung her round, making her head fall against
the arm of the couch as he bent her legs and placed her feet sole down at the
other end. As he did this, her skirt
fell down, the slit at the back parting as it fell down her body.
She stared
back at him as he walked over, his gloved hand gently stroking her bottom as
she tried to squirm out of the way. “I
know you have seen Sherri, and she told you what happened,” he said quietly as
he looked in her eyes. “Now you stay
here, nice and quiet, and when I come back I will make sure you are more
comfortable.”
Nina closed
her eyes, too scared to move as she heard him climb the staircase. “Oh my god oh my god oh my god,” she said to
herself, “He’s going to rob me, then he’s going to... Oh my god.”
She could
hear him moving about, and thought of the phone - but as she looked over she
could see the wire cut from the wall.
Then she thought of her cell phone - but she could see that next to her
purse, the battery lying by the side.
She wished she had remembered to set the alarm, she wished she had not
had to work tonight, she wished...
“Thinking
happy thoughts?”
Nina opened
her eyes and looked up to see him standing there, a smile on his lips. She could see he had lifted the stocking off,
to reveal his mouth as his tongue moved over them.
“You are a
very wealthy woman,” he said as he reached down and stroked her forehead, “and
I am sure your insurance will take care of it.
But as I am sure Sherri told you, I always like to give the ladies I
hear everything and take the most valuable thing they have. You have very pretty eyes, and soft hands.”
“Fnkku,” Nina said as he took her hands and stroked
them. “I want to feel those soft hands,”
he said with a smile, watching Nina’s eyes widen as he opened the front of his
pants and took out his large cock. “I
want you to stroke this, and let me feel them.”
Nina shook
her head, saying “nnnnplsdntmkkmmm,” but then she saw
him pick up the knife, and she slowly rolled onto her side, placing her bound
hands either side of his cock as she started to stroke it. “Plsdnt,” she
mumbled as his fingers stroked down the length, feeling a light throbbing under
her touch as she looked at him.
“Oh that’s
very nice, Nina,” he said quietly as he looked into her eyes, “Keep it
up.” Nina closed her eyes as she
slightly sped up, feeling the throbbing growing stronger as she did so and
hearing his sigh.
“Ah,” she
heard him say as he looked at her, then reach down, pulling the tape away from
her mouth and pulling the briefs out.
“Don’t stop,” he said as she saw the knife in his hand, and she mouthed
rather than said “Please, don’t make me.”
“Take it to
your lips and kiss it, Nina.”
“No, I beg
you...”
“Do it,
Nina.”
She swallowed
hard and allowed him to gently stroke over her lips with the tip of his cock,
feeling his hard tip over the soft flesh, and involuntarily she parted her
lips, allowing the tip to enter her mouth as she stroked her tongue over it.
“Why the hell
did I just do that,” she thought to herself as she heard him say the words she
had been dreading. “Very good, Nina -
now open wide and take it in, let your tongue take over from your hands.”
“I....”
“Nina?”
She saw the
hardening on his lips, and placed her lips over his cock, sucking it gently in
as her tongue stroked over the base of it.
Immediately, she felt the throbbing, and the way
it intensified as she pushed it back out, then sucked it back in again.
“Ffiddthswlug,” she moaned as she looked into his eyes.
“Keep going,”
he said with his eyes closed, and Nina closed her own, letting out a muffled “Mmmmmmmnnnnnnn” as she felt the cock pressing down on her
tongue. It was swelling, filling her
mouth as it did so, and she was feeling something else as well - a warmth in
her own body, as she suddenly realised she was responding to the feelings
coursing through her from the foreign object she was sucking and licking.
“Whtshppnng,” she moaned out, but the action of trying to
speak only made him throb more, swell more, the tip touching the back of her
throat as she started to suck harder, faster, stronger...
The throbbing
had turned into something else now - more of a growing pressure as she got
faster and faster. It was pressing her
tongue now, only allowing her to say “Mmmmmddmgmmmmmm”
with each suck. She felt his hand on her
hair now, keeping her head firmly in place as he grunted and moaned louder and
louder. She feared what was coming, but
she also felt so much power in herself, and the warmth that was starting to
burn between her legs was distracting her as well.
“Whhtshppngnngggg!!” she screamed out as she felt the cock
swell so much she was unable to do anything, and then the sudden increase in
pressure. Her intruder closed his eyes
and screamed out as a hot, fast flowing mass of liquid hit the back of her
throat, making Nina gag as she tried to swallow the load of cum that was now
shooting down her throat.
“PLSSSMMMKSTTP”
she called out between gasps of air and the continued swallowing, unable to do
anything until he finally let go of her head, his cock slipping out of her
mouth as she coughed and a thin line of white foam slipped down her cheek.
“There now,”
he said as he stood in front of her, “That wasn’t so bad was it?”
“Please,”
Nina started to sob, “Leave me alone. I
haven’t hurt you, why are you doing this?”
“Because you
are a beautiful woman, and you deserve to be treated like the beautiful lady
you are,” he said with a smile, “You deserve to be appreciated by a man, and
made to feel like the complete and fulfilled lady you should be. I know you have been lonely, and now I am
here.”
“But you are
forcing yourself on me, this is wrong,” Nina sobbed,
“please just leave me alone and go...”
“I have not
finished yet, my dear,” he said as he smiled at her, and Nina was filled with a
dread she could all too easily put a name to.
He knelt at her side, wiping her chin with the bikini briefs before he
said “Open wide.”
“Please,
don’t hurt me.”
“I’m not
going to hurt you, I’m going to free you,” the man said, “now open your mouth.”
Nina
swallowed, then allowed the intruder to push the cloth
into her mouth, closing her lips over it as he reached down and kissed them
before covering her mouth and jaw with fresh strips of tape. “Very good,” he said quietly, “now lift your
arms up for me.”
Nina did as
she was directed, watching as he cut the tape away from her arms. She rubbed then to try and return some blood
to them, before she heard him say “I promised you I would make you more
comfortable - roll over and put your hands behind your back.”
“Lllrrtt,” Nina said, rolling over as she placed her hands
behind her back. She lay still as the
man folded her arms into a box, placing her elbows in the palms of her hands,
and then felt the tug on her skin as she heard the ripping of the tape, and the pressure as her forearms were taped tightly
together.
“Fknu,” she mumbled as she was helped to sit up, her back to
him as she felt him sitting behind her.
Looking down, she saw his hands reaching round, and then started to
squirm as his hands groped her chest, her breasts feeling his fingers sinking
into her flesh through the jacket.
“MMGnngnnggggg” she moaned out as he worked her chest,
feeling revolted by the fresh assault, and yet also aroused as she felt her
breasts firming under his touch. He was
making her feel so bad, and so good at the same time, as she closed her eyes
and said “Plsllsstpppppp.”
“No,” she
heard him say as the groping stopped, and then she felt the front of her jacket
opening as one by one the buttons were unfastened, and then her jacket pulled
to the side. “That’s better,” she heard
him say as her nipples were exposed to the cold air, “so nice of you not to
wear a bra tonight.”
“I know,”
Nina caught herself thinking as the assault began anew on her breasts, her
moans increasing as his fingers dug into her firm flesh and began to play with
her rapidly firming, incredibly prominent nipples. She screamed out as he pinched them, but then
her screams turned to sighs as he knelt in front of her, and started to kiss
her nipples, his tongue stroking over the tips.
“HGGDDDDD”
she called out as she closed her eyes, feeling her nipples respond - not just
her nipples but her whole body, as she wondered what he was going to do next to
her...
“You’re
enjoying this aren’t you,” she heard him say, and she felt herself nodding,
despite every instinct screaming in her brain that this was wrong, totally,
absolutely wrong. But her body - her
body was also screaming, and it was beginning to scream louder.
She heard the
rip of tape again, and then screamed as she felt her breasts being pushed
together, looking down to see him wrapping a band of silver tap tightly around
the base of both her breasts, then between them as they were forced into a
makeshift bra.
“WHTHVUDN!”
she creamed out, but then as she felt his lips over her nipples, and his hands
massaging her chest from in front of her, she moaned even more loudly
“HGDDDDNTSTP!!!”
“Put your
legs out in front of you.”
Nina sighed as
he did this, and watched him cutting her legs free, before he bent her left leg
and wrapped the tape around her thigh and calf, keeping it bent to one side as
he secured the other.
“Did we
forget the panties today,” he said in a mocking tone as he lifted her skirt up,
and pressed his finger gently against her crotch, making her moan as she felt
his touch on the damp patch. “Such a
naughty girl - and you need to be punished, don’t you.”
“NO I don’t”
her mind screamed, but her body ached, and she slowly nodded as she felt a
warmth to his touch. She looked
over at him as he stood to one side, and said “I will show you how
beautiful you really are, Nina - and how much you mean to men.”
Pushing her
onto her side on the couch, Nina could only watch as he reached into the bag,
and took out a large white vibrator. As
he twisted the base, and she heard a buzzing sound, Nina tried to
wriggle out of the way.
“OH no,” the
man said as he walked over making Nina go “Mmmmmmmmmmmgggggggdddd”
as he stroked the device over and between her breasts, the shaking in her
making her giggle, “you need to feel every single part of your body respond.”
“Oh I can,”
Nina tried to say, but all that came out was “MNNNNNNNNGGGG” as the man
walked round, and then stroked the device up the back of her legs, making
her squirm even more.
“That feels
good, doesn’t it,” she heard him say, and as she closed her eyes Nina could
only moan and nod her head, allowing him to roll her on her front and pulling
her legs apart as he stroked the device up her backside. She moaned
involuntarily, wondering what he was going to do to her next.
“Maybe
later,” she heard him say, “I want you on your knees now.” Nina opened her eyes and slid herself off the
couch, twisting around until she knelt on the rug, her eyes looking up at her
attacker.
“Whhddustp,” she moaned as she looked at him, her eyes
full of lust despite her nagging fears of what might happen. He smiled as he stood there, looking at her
as he said “You are a truly beautiful woman, Nina - I am going to enjoy showing
you how special you are.”
“Whydumn,” Nina said as
she followed him as he walked behind her, the vibrator still humming in his
hand. “Whrrugngwfthhhhhttt”
He knelt
behind her, looking
at her bottom where her skirt had ridden up, and placed his hands on either
side, gently squeezing and massaging them as Nina pressed herself against them
in response. “WhtrudnnnggggHSWTJSSSSSTHSGDDDD!”
Her sudden
exclamation was the result of him pulling her hose back, and putting the
vibrator on her crack, then allowing the hose to snap back and hold it in
place. She wriggled at the sensations
that were starting to run through her, unable to stop her captor as he made her
sit against the couch, the soles of her feet together
and her legs spread apart as he reached down and kissed her bare midriff.
“WHTRUDNG!” She called this out, her head back
and her eyes closed, as she felt a pressure between her legs, and then the
hose parting, before feeling his lips on her clit, his tongue stroking over and
between the ages as his lips caressed the front.
“MMMGGGGGGGGG”
she screamed out, “Whtruddddmmgfffcknggddddd” Her moans increased
in volume and intensity as he kissed her between her legs, his hands reaching
up and massaging once again her incredibly firm breasts, his fingers stroking
over her sensitive nipples. Every touch
sent a shock through her, like an electric current, which made every nerve
incredibly sensitive, and made her feel as if her whole body could catch fire.
She started
to pant through his gag as she got wetter and wetter at his kiss, and wondered
when it was going to end. To Nina, it
no longer mattered that this masked man was going to rape her - she wanted him
to fuck her, to make her so sore and at the same time so happy she would
forgive him anything...
“Ready,
Nina?”
She opened
her eyes to see him standing there, now naked from the waist down as she
looked at his cock, and despite the still screaming voice in her head she
nodded, waiting as he knelt in front of her and leaned over, kissing her neck
and throat as he stroked the tip of his cock along the slit he had made in her
hose.
The burning
was intense now, and she closed her eyes, letting her head fall back as she
felt him stroking her there, then she looked at him as he stood up. “Soon,” he said quietly as he laid her
on her back, and then moved between her legs, leaning over to suckle on her
once again as without warning he started to force his way in.
Nina felt his
cock in her passage and instantly started to push back, unable to resist any
further as she gripped on him, feeling that throbbing now inside her passage rather
than her mouth. “HGGDDDDFKMMM” she
moaned out as he pushed forward, making her moan more with each press forward,
as she tried to push back and grip him as tightly as she could.
Her whole
body felt as if it was on fire, burning with passion and longing despite the
fact he was a masked rapist, as he pushed further and further in, making her
try and close her legs around him as much as she could to keep him there. She felt his hips against her pelvis, his
tongue on her nipples, his teeth gently nipping around her breasts, and she
wanted it more and more and more.
“OHHMMMMMGDDDDDD<MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS”
The scream
was muffled, but as she gripped his cock inside her and felt him cum within her
she shuddered with the feelings, the vibrator against her bottom adding to the
feeling rather than distracting her. It
was a feeling like she had never felt before, and as she let herself go
completely she bucked in response feeling the orgasm flowing through her.
She felt him
withdraw, bit before she had chance to
calm down he rolled her over, pulling her pantyhose down and removing the
vibrator before she felt him forcing his way into her rear passage. He was still stiff and hard, but nobody had
ever done this to her before, and the feeling was one that was almost tearing
her apart.
“WHTHTHHHLLUDNG,”
she screamed out as she felt him expanding inside her again, and to her
embarrassment she felt the fluid starting to flow again between her legs - her
embarrassment and her supreme joy. Once
more she felt the orgasm coming as he forced his way in, and the pain added to
the ecstasy she was feeling, every part of her screaming as she felt him
starting to sum, and her orgasm beginning in response.
She didn’t
want it to ever stop, as she screamed and moaned in equal parts at what was
happening, but eventually she felt him withdraw, and she rolled
onto her side, her sweat covered body quivering as she heard him standing
up, and the clink of his belt as he pulled his pants up and fastened them.
“Thank you,
Nina,” she heard him say as the first glint of dawn’s light peeked through the
drawn blinds. “I have enjoyed my time
here, but I must be going. I will not
leave you without a present however...”
Nina opened
her eyes, but before she could ask what he meant she felt something being
pushed between her cheeks, and a vibrating starting. “NNNNNNNNN” she called out, before that was
increased as she felt the vibrator being forced into her front passage, and tape been placed over both devices to keep them in place.
“PLSDNTNLFMKKTHS”
she called out, but all she saw was the man collecting his bag, and walking out
of the room, leaving her all alone.
“Mum? You awake yet?”
Nina opened
her eyes and tried to call out, the vibrators still wracking her with pleasure
as the door to the front room and her older son walked in.
“Mum, has
someone - oh shit! DAVEY - CALL THE
POLICE!”
“Hlpm,” Nina whispered as she looked feebly up, the rug
stained at her clit and her backside, wanting release now...
“When Sherri heard what had happened,
she came and visited me in hospital, and we just held each other.”
The reporter looked at Sherri and
Nina, sitting next to each other. Sherri
was wearing a silk roll necked sweater and a blue skirt, while Nina had on a
pale blue jacket and pants with a camisole top underneath.
“They never caught him - how does that
make you both feel?”
The two women looked at each other, then Nina said “I honestly do not know the answer to
that. He hasn’t struck for some time, so
maybe he’s been caught, or
seen the error of his ways.”
The reporter put her tape recorder
away, then said “Off the record - if you heard he had
died, what would you say?”
Sherri had no hesitation in saying
“Good - then he can’t hurt anyone else again.”
She watched as Nina nodded, then stood up and said “Well, thank you for
your time ladies - I know it must have been difficult to relive those
days. I will be in touch when the
article is completed.”
She shook their hands, then allowed herself to be shown out, waving as she walked
to her hire car and then got behind the wheel.
She managed to drive a short distance before she had to stop and started
to weep uncontrollably.
“Gail, you stupid bitch,” she said to
herself, “You had to go and meet them, didn’t you? You just had to hear it for yourself!” She sat there, sobbing for a few minutes,
before gathering herself together and setting the satnav
for her next destination, the next victim she needed to talk to...
