It was a cold, crisp day and the mist from the night before still lingered. John decided to use today to familiarise himself with his surroundings.
As he had thought, the woods surrounding Mrs. Cook's house were dense, but he found a path that led to scrubby heathland. The wilderness was intoxicating, a new, marvellous sight in each direction. He wandered far, drinking it in until noon when he realised that he was hungry and entirely lost.
Scanning the horizon, he thought he saw what might be a church tower so he headed that way. He was relieved and delighted to find a quaint, picture postcard village. There were green stickers in every front window and John saw net curtains twitching as he walked down the village's only road.
A figure emerged from the last house and strode to meet him. She was wearing combat trousers that would have hung loose on most people but her thick thighs stretched the fabric taut. Her crop top didn't quite conceal her huge breasts and beneath them her midriff bulged slightly over her waistband. Her eyes looked enormous, magnified by the thick lenses of her spectacles. John smiled a greeting, but it was not returned.
"Good morning! I wonder if I could... ARGH!" he said.
An unseen assailant expertly caught John in an armlock, and it felt like his arm was going to break.
"Good work Bren!" bellowed crop-top, "Let's bring him in for questioning."
"Roger that Trace!" said Bren (another female by the sound of her). At the mention of the word 'Roger', the two of them laughed like drains.
"Just a... OOOWW!"
"Shut it pervert!" said Tracey as Brenda tightened her grip making John's eyes water.
Tracey motioned John forward and he did as he was told. They marched him back to Tracey's house and slammed the door emphatically.
"I suppose you think you're pretty tough, intimidating us little old ladies, don't you?" Tracey asked.
John resisted the temptation to give a smart answer when Brenda revealed her face. They were both in their fifties at least. Brenda was taller than Tracey and thick set but there was not an ounce of fat on her.
"Strip search him," said Tracey, it seemed to John loud enough for the rest of the street to hear.
"Really?" he asked.
They ignored him as they tore at his clothes. He was naked in seconds and Brenda pushed him against the wall.
"That looks like a dangerous weapon," said Tracey slipping her hand down the front of her trousers. "See if it's loaded Bren."
