Wildwood, Pennsylvania...
"Man, I hope I'm not walking into a trap." Jenna Nichol's mother calling Heath Talbot felt sincere, but she did lie to him at first saying she was a friend but ended in fessing up to her ruse. He could tell Erica Nichol's was emotional as well as afraid of her own husband, so she had to really be concerned over her daughter's safety. What troubled Heath was that it didn't sound as if this was the first time. Why hadn't Jenna told him?
"Maybe this is why Jenna is so submissive toward me. Could be her dad groomed her and her mom was just too afraid to report it. This Erica did say Wayne had connections in law enforcement so Erica probably knew there was nothing she or Jenna could do outside of shoot him dead. This shit is more headache than I need right now. No job, not sure how I'm paying Margo rent, playing with fire messing with my best friend's baby sister, now running into the proverbial burning building for some bitch I only use for sex. Trouble on my resume if I get arrested over this will ruin my life. My parents will disown me. Fuck!"
Edgy as he was, he still made his way through the streets of Wildwood heading straight for his old high school. Thoughts addled over his best move he had a brainstorm. "I wonder if Frannie knows of any connection between this Wayne and her ole' man Riley? Frannie could be my ace in her holes seeing as she likes being my fuck slave. Deputy Dog did say to make her happy, so...?" Pulling up to the front of the school he parked in a clear view of every door and both directions of the street. Cell unhooked from his car charger he eyed the clock, "It's almost lunchtime. Let's text Frannie and see if she can meet me before I go walking in like Buford Pusser carrying a bat." If he had a bat. He did have knee and elbow pads being a former wrestler for the school.
Texting her he wrote, "YΕ Fannie! Master needs advice. Keep what we talk about to just you and I. Matter of life and death!" A few minutes later she responded, likely still dealing with her before lunch Spanish class.
"Are you in trouble?"
"Not yet! I could be within the next hour. Meet me during lunch by the pool in the gym?"
"Riley is bringing me lunch. Let me tell him where to find me. I'll kick off my heels and put my feet in the water."
"What I say might not be for Riley's ears."
"Give me five minutes the bell is about to sound. I'll call you from my desk first."
"Thanks slut!"
"You know it Master." A winking emoji. "Miss you Sir!"
"We'll get together soon. Promise!" A clapping hand emoji ended the conversation, leaving Heath to sit in his Xterra searching for signs of any trouble. "This Wayne might not even give a shit where Jenna is right now. The guy has to have a job so he would probably be at work. At least I hope so. No guarantee I guess considering he was home late yesterday to take Jenna like he did. It was Sunday though! Who knows? Hopefully Frannie."
Hearing the lunch break bell clear across the courtyard Heath found a flood of students migrating outdoors into the sunlight. Smokers and slackers all! His kind of people except for the nicotine clouds. "Damn! Some of these bitches had their titties blow up since I attended here. There's ole' Patti Hickonbottom. What a name?" He grumbled. "Ha! From Fannie to Bottom. It just calls out, doesn't it? Patti lost her fat ass, not too bad now that she's a senior. Vapes! What a waste!"
Cell ringing startled him; it just wasn't like him to be this jittery. Where was Mister Master's balls, rock hard and ready for anything? Answering Frannie with a "Took you long enough." Ballsy was back in small doses.
"I didn't want any of my kids overhearing me. So, what's going on?"
"You recall Jenna Nichols? The girl I had join you at the school carwash?"
"I knew her long before that day Heath."
"Master!"
"Heath for the moment. You sounded stressed so let's just keep this normal until we get through whatever you need my advice for. In asking me for advice that overrules your authority. I'll circle back once you do."
"Right! Yeah, this really is the wrong time to be a bear. Listen, I think Jenna is in some serious trouble. We had phone sex last night over Facetime. Her dad cut in and raped her right in front of me. I threatened to call the cops and he told me to give it my best shot. Do you know anything about this Wayne guy? I don't want to see Jenna get hurt. Matter of fact her mom called me to come rescue her here at the school where she's hiding out."
"It was only a matter of time." Frannie Filmore sighed, "Heath? You should probably let this go. Wayne Nichols... is a dangerous man."
"Would Riley help me get her to safety?"
"I'll ask him to help but this might go beyond his authority. I don't know the details, but I can only guess. You must not tell anyone what I suspect, it could hurt more than Jenna."
"Tell me! I'll take it to the grave."
"I believe he's in witness protection. Did you happen to notice his accent? It's rather thick as if from the Bronx. I almost want to connect him to the Mob. His wife would know more. Jenna was probably left clueless simply moving as her family did."
"Does Wayne have a job?"
"That's my other clue. To my knowledge he sits at home drinking heavily and well, who knows honestly. Chances are we the taxpayers of Wildwood support his habits."
"Witness Protection... I've known Jenna since like 8th. grade. How is he still here?"
"I really don't know Heath. Speculation is all I can offer. Are you outside now?"
"Yeah, across from the front entrance. Pretty sure Jenna is with Mister Gallivant the swim coach. He would protect her."
"Okay! Listen, I'll walk down to the pool and meet you. You can't create a scene in front of Riley. Let me talk to him and see if I can get him to help us move her to a safer location."
"I'll take her out to Margo's it's deep in the country. Plenty of places to hide if it becomes necessary."
"If Wayne knows your identity, he will track you to your home. You wanted my advice, I'd say take her where you have no real connection."
"I might have a place."
"Good! Don't tell me."
"Right! Meet you in another five by the pool. I see Riley pulling up now."
"Alright! Let me hurry, I'll call him on my way. Give us room when you first come in. Let Riley come to you."
"Will do! Thanks Slut!"
"You're welcome, Master." Back to normal in his mind.
