Following my meeting with Sidney Grey, I left her apartment with a great deal on my mind. While her issues with Crystal Hilton are no concern of mine…the mention that my sister was a likely target for revenge was a great source of distress for me. The thought that Nyako might be hurt for something I did…especially something that happened many years ago gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach…a feeling that was rarely satisfied by anything other than incredible and horrific violence…
…I can actually feel my skin tingling and my hands trembling…I need to release this anger…less I go crazy here and now…
I take a taxi back toward my sister’s apartment, but I inform the cabby to stop quite a few blocks away. I hand him his pay and start to leave, but he stops me…concerned about where I have chosen to have him stop…
…sweet of him, really…concerned for a woman he has never met and will likely never see again. If the world were filled with more people like him, it wouldn’t be such a giant shit-hole…once again, fortunate for me…
As I walk the rapidly darkening streets, I feel eyes on me, but I don’t slow my pace. This is what I want…what I need. I slump my shoulders and cast my gaze to the ground to make myself a more appetizing target…
…the best way to catch flies and all that…
It doesn’t take long until I attract the “proper” attention…
“Hey there China-Doll…you tired? You must be…you been running through my mind all day!” Laughter echoes, between him, his friend, and the graffiti covered walls.
…what a cheesy line, I should crush his throat so he can never utter another stupid line like that again, but that’s not what I’m here for…not tonight…
I slightly quicken my pace, but not too much…I need them to catch me. The game is no fun if they don’t. As I move along in a rush, I take an ill-advised turn into a darkened alley and before I know it…I come to a dead end…
…such an incredible stroke of luck on my part…
It doesn’t take long for the footfalls to catch up to me. I turn, with a frightened look on my face, begging to be left alone. I play my part perfectly and they don’t suspect a thing. I am easy prey for them…just one more stupid little girl who has wandered too far down the wrong path.
“Oh! You finally tired of running there little China-Doll?” one of them remarks.
When I try to push past him, he grabs me and shoves me back against the wall. I hit the concrete hard, but I stay upright…still playing my role and pleading to be let go. They don’t listen…their kind never do…
…what I was counting on…
As I try to run away, they grab me and throw me to the ground and I hit my head a bit less gingerly than I’d like…
…that will leave a mark for a few days…might be good for sympathy…
I struggle to get up, but they are on me, knocking me back down. Hands groping me…ripping at my clothes as they try to expose me…make ready to take me for their own perverse pleasure. I scream…to make it look good…and it does…
“YEAH!! SCREAM BITCH!! NO ONE IS GONNA HEAR YOU HERE!!” One of the cretins yells.
The other chimes in, “Oh! I’m gonna give her ass PLENTY to scream about! She gonna be liking that shit when I’m done!”
…I seriously doubt it, but stranger things have happened…
I bring my knee up and it meets the first man’s crotch and he immediately falls off me. It’s a major disappointment…I didn’t even hit him that hard. He’s already coughing up blood and that REALLY pisses me off. Not at all what I planned!
CRACK!!
I see stars as the second man hits me right in the jaw with an overhand right…
…that’s more like it…
I hit the ground and curl into a ball as he begins kicking, cursing, and spitting on me. He’s very angry…but I smile to myself…I know that his friend is going to be WAY more pissed off than he is…
