Chapter III has a slim basis in fact. None of the characters are based on real people, but I was once at a small Catholic where the coeds felt perfectly well justified in fucking like rabbits as long as they got ripped on booze first so that they could claim that they were not in their right minds. âIt wasnât my fault. I was drunk and got carried away. I hardly remember a thing.â I wish things had been that simple when I was growing up.
None of the characters in this fantasy are real or under the age of 18.
The use of date rape drugs is a sure sign of corrupt character and a bankrupt personality. The use of alcohol to the same end is little better. Real men donât have to trick their way into a girls panties.
The Pit is just what it sounds like. A grimy place with so little light that ridiculously poor IDs are sometimes adequate to get young St Chester Students admitted. In fact, it is such a gloomy place that without the traffic from St Chester, it is doubtful they could have stayed in business. Even so, they have to make some attempt to check IDâs at the door, so I was surprised see Darby Denrose playing pool in the back room. She doesnât look a day over fifteen.
Itâs not like I hang out there; I have an excellent ID, (my brotherâs drivers license from before he shipped to Guam with the Navy). The picture even looks like me. But thatâs an aside. I donât hang out there because I spend most evenings shacked up with Molly. If thatâs hard for you to believe then maybe you donât remember adolescence when your sap was really flowing.
Actually, we donât spend all our time screwing or even making out. Molly is determined to get into medical school so she has to hit the books; Itâs like she says, it wonât do her any good to get good grades if she bombs out on the GREâs. I guess thatâs good for me, too, because she stays on my case to keep up my grades, reminding me that I have to get good grades if I want to transfer to U. H. where she wants to study, so she can keep up her windsurfing skills.
The evening in question, she was hard at work on her senior thesis (she was trying for a double major) and I kept getting under foot (actually, I was trying to get under her t-shirt), so she kicked me out of the room and down to the Pit where I was sitting in the corner of the back room, watching the pool action waiting for a turn but it was slow going and my quarter was just sitting there on the pool table waiting for four more games to end.
Darsy was playing pool with three guys, and that game was going slow because the kids there (looked to be all freshmen) were ripped upâmore drunk than beer should have made them.
I heard a squeek and looked over to see the doorway to the alley open and three kids squirt in. Thatâs funny, I thought, I thought the door was supposed to be alarmed. Thatâs what the sign on the door said. I went over to look and saw that somebody had jiggered the trigger. That explained a lot. Somebody leaned over my shoulder, âDonât say anything!â
I looked up at him. âYa dig?â he added.
âSure. Itâs cool with me.â
âYa want a joint? Itâs AOK stuff?â
âNaw, thanks. Iâm fine. I buy mine by the ounce.â
âI wasnât offering to sell it. I just thought you might like to get high.â
âIâm floating pretty good on brew, thanks.â
âWell, how about a shot of vodka to go with the beer.â
âSure. Thanks.â
He took a flask out of his loose pockets and gave me a good splash. Later I noticed him making several trips in and out the jiggered door. Refilling his flask or doing business? Iâm not sure.
I also noticed that every time Darcyâs beer got topped off, he was there to add a splash of Russian misery to it. Doesnât he see sheâs out of it? I wondered. Later she went to the bathroom and I thought I heard the ugly sound of vomiting and when she finally came out, leaning on a friend, I could see sheâd just had her face scrubbed. âThatâs way better,â she said to nobody in particular.
I went over to talk to her, feeling a little bit of an obligation because sheâs on Mollyâs floor. âHey Darcy, donât you think thatâs enough for tonight?â
âNo way. Iâm going to get ripped tonight.â
âWhatâs the occasion?â
âI flunked my Freshman English course.â
âHey, itâs just midterm.â
âMaybe, but thereâs no way I can average out a zero.â
âOh. Well making an ass of yourself in public isnât going to help.â
âFuck you,â she said and gave me a slap in the face that everybody in the pool room could hear.
âHey, whatâs going on?â Someone said. âHe bothering you?â
âNaw, he just thinkâs heâs my father or something. Itâs cool.â
The guys sheâd been playing with seemed to own the table and next game she was back to playing although she could hardly stand. The next time she refilled her glass with beer and vodka, I thought I saw the guy add something else to the drink, but I couldnât be sure. I decided to keep a closer watch because there was a lot of talk on campus about date rape pills.
Before long I saw Darcy leave by the side door and I figured everything must be okay but I started to worry when I noticed the same guy who offered me the joint passing around selling tickets off a roll, followed by a steady stream of smirking guys leaving through the alley door and reappearing after a short while. Curiousity aroused I made my own way into the dark alley and what I found was a travel van with large side windows surrounded by guys, all holding schooners of beer in their hands.
I moved into the mob trying to make out what had them so interested and what I finally saw made me sick to my stomach. Darcy was splayed out like a fish, flat on her back on a raised bed in the back of the van and guys were fucking her motionless body at every oriface. I saw red. I tore myself away from the mob and hurried back into the bar where I grabbed a pool cue. I had just turned to move back outside when two guys, one of them the pot seller, grabbed my by the arms and spun me around. âLet it rest,â one said.
âNo fucking way. I menaced him with the cue and he snuck a fist under my guard and bent me over with a blow to the groin. This was followed by a couple blows to the head which knocked me to the ground. One guy ground his heel into my hand and said,âLeave it alone. Thereâs no way youâre going to overcome us.â
I lay there while stars spun dizzily in my head trying to shrug the dizziness off. Then, with the two guys watching, I left the pool room and went out of their sight, down the hall to the pay phone on the wall. I dialed 911 and told them there was a fight in the alleyway and hung up. Then I went back to the poolroom, through it, and out the door. âThe cops are coming! The cops are coming!â I yelled.
The guy with the dope was standing by the door of the van. When he heard me his head whipped around. He saw me and started to move toward me. I held the pool cue like a baseball bat and growled, âYou wonât sucker punch me again.â In the night air, I heard the first distant sound of sirens. âYou better make your get away before itâs too late. Leave the girl here or Iâll give them your license number. He looked into the van, yelled out curt instructions, and immediately Darcy was thrown out on the ground along with her clothes and then the van squealed out.
I picked her up in a firemanâs carry. She was a load. Completely unable to help her self, it was all I could do to drape her over my shoulder and scramble down the alley and into the back streets between town and campus. As soon as I found an open carport, I took time to try to get some clothes onto her, but it was a losing struggle and I had to settle for her underpants and t-shirt. The rest were AWOL.
Then I carried her the remaining five blocks to her dorm. The worst thing was when she vomited againâright down my back. Finally,I deposited her in a clump of bushes before sneaking over to Mollyâs first floor window. I rapped on the window. I hadnât stopped to think what I must look like. Molly looked up. She looked pissed.
âGo away!â
âHelp me, Molly.â She couldnât hear me, but I could see her expression change from one of anger to one of concern. I signaled her with my hands, pointing toward the doors. When she left the room, I hurried to meet her.
She came rushing out the door.
âHow dare you come to my room looking like that. What in the hell have you been doing. I thought I knew you,â
âItâs not like that,â I tried to say, trying unsuccessfully to get a word in edgewise.â She just kept on yelling at me. Finally I grabbed her by the arms and shook her and that just drove her wilder and she started to hit me. âMolly, shut up, I need help!â
From up stairs somebody yelled out the window, âWhatâs going on out there?â
That got her attention. âSee what youâve done now,â she said. Then she yelled, âItâs okay. Just a drunk freshman.â
âMolly, listen.â
She gathered herself. âOkay, but this better be good.â
âLook we can work this out later, but now I need your help. Come with me,â I said as I grabbed her hand and pulled her down the stairs and over to the bushes. Darcy lay there curled up in a fetal position, hands between her legs. She looked like just what she wasâthe victim of a gangbang, half naked and covered with cum.
âWhat . . . â Molly started to say, but then she didnât know how to finish the sentence and was left speechless.â
âI just broke up a gang bang at the Pit, but I didnât get there soon enough. Sheâs drunk as a skunk and I think they put a date rape drug in her beer.â
Now Molly showed her metal. âJesus Fucking Christ. Okay, letâs go. Help me, Fred,â she said as she bent over and tried to pull Darcy to her feet.
âThatâs no use. Iâll carry her,â I said. âI carried her here. You just go ahead and make sure the coast is clear.â
âYou stay here. Iâll be right back.â Molly hurried off and returned shortly carrying a bathrobe which I helped her put over Darcyâs sticky body. âThe coast is clear. Hurry!â Molly said.
I staggered down the hall to Mollyâs room. I was about to lower her onto the bed when Molly said, âPut her in the shower.â The rest of the girls showered in a communal bathroom down the hall, but floor repâs had a private bathroom as a perquisite of their job. Putting her down in the shower was easier said than done since I couldnât stand in the small stall and bend over at the same time. It took the two of us and a lot of bumping together before she was a puddle in the bottom of the shower, lying under the stream of hot water that beat down on her.
âWhat did they do to her?â
It was a long story, and since Iâve already related it, I wonât do so again. When I got to the part of the two guys beating on me, Molly looked at me closely for the first time. Then she wet down a washrag and began to mop me up. I hadnât been much aware of how bloody I was. At one point she pushed me off balance accidentally and I reached out to catch myself against the wall. Pain stabbed up my arm from my hand, which I had forgotten completely about. It was black and blue under the blood.
âYou need to get to the infirmary and have them look at your hand.â
I flexed my fingers. They all moved even though it was painful. âItâs okay, I said. I can bend all of the fingers.â
âDamn, weâre never going to get Darcy cleaned up like this.â Molly immediately stripped down to her skin, got into the shower, looming above Darcy and tried to pull her upright. It didnât work. âHelp me out, Fred, will you?â I stripped off my bloody clothing and helped Molly pull Darcy up but that was little improvement. She tottered and it was only by grabbing her to me in a bear hug that I kept her from falling to the floor. So there I was standing in the door to the shower, mostly in the bathroom, and there was Molly against the shower wall with Darcy in between us. Not a stitch of clothing between us.
âHold on,â Molly yelled over the roar of the shower. âIâll scrub her back.â Later, Molly helped me turn her around so she could wash her front. In the process she couldnât help see my cockâs arousal. Yeah, I know, my cock shouldnât have been aroused by this decidedly un-sexy scene, but all that naked skin and, well, you know, the little headâs brain isnât coupled to the big one, is coupled to wet naked skin.
âLook, I canât help what my cock does. But donât worry, I havenât got any designs on Darcy.â
âYou better not be getting it up for me, either. It looks like Darcyâs going to keep me occupied all night.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThis isnât the first time. I know what to do. Yeah, I could take her to the infirmary, but that would make it official.â
âMaybe we should make it official.â
âIs that why you lugged her out instead of waiting for the cops?â
âNo, I just didnât want to lose my ID. God it would be awful for my brother if they caught me with it.â
