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...
