"Phew… That felt pretty good, even if the woman is a virgin."
"..."
The woman - Mary - has finally finished her "business" and felt the need to comment on herself like rating a service. The way she addressed herself reminded me of the possession genre in hentai. As the name suggested, the victim would lose their sense of self and start acting like someone else. The cause could be many, but the usual suspect would be paranormal activity a.k.a ghosts and spirits.
I wondered if the current situation was of the same nature. If that was the case, then avoiding eye contact would not be enough. However, so far, since I still could clearly recognise my sense of self, it might not be the case.
"Oi, stop with the mute act would you? Shutting your eyes if you want to, but it is not like I could control you with words only"
"..."
That seemed true. If she could control me with words like she did with James and the young police then she would have already done so.
"... What do you want?"
"Oh hoh, finally decide to open your mouth huh? But should you not introduce yourself first before asking such a question?"
"I have nothing to tell you"
"Oh come on, don't be like that. I don't know what P did to you but I am not him. If anything, I came here specifically to clean up his mess."
"...P?"
"Yeah, P. The fat dude whose phone was in your possession before it arrived at this police station. That's P."
*Rumble*
I slammed a punch onto the table in a fit of rage.
"That MOTHERFUCKER!"
In my emotional burst, I almost opened my eyes towards Mary. Had it not been for my experience up until now, I would have really fallen for it.
"...Well, I understand your outburst. I have heard from him but I guess it was more intense to go through the whole thing."
"Anyways, back to your question, the reason I have come here is to retrieve the device here."
Mary made a gesture that I assumed was her pointing at the phone on the table.
That fat fuck, not only he made the plan to trap us, he also had allies to rely on. In this game of cat and mouse, it was obvious who had the upper hand.
"But… Honestly, I would rather not pick it up at all."
"Huh? What did you say?"
Was I hearing it right? She did not want to take the phone back even though she had come all this way and attacked us?
"You heard me right. I honestly hate how I have to clean up the mess of P everytime. Not only he truly fucked things up this time, he had the guts to call me without the device. Utterly useless piece of shit."
"..."
From Mary's connotation, I could not help but believe what she was saying was true and not a ploy to trick me into opening my eyes. That being said, I could not afford to lower my guard.
"Say, Mister. It is quite obvious that you hate P more than I do. How about we teamed up to give him a lesson?"
"...What?"
"I have only met you for a short time but I could tell that you were a bright person. Unless you wanted to rot in this police station and left your girl in that state, wouldn't you say we teamed up for the time being?"
"Beth… Is it possible you could turn her back to normal? Return her sanity?"
"Well, technically, your girl should be out of her trance already now that hours have passed and no mind control was reapplied to her. All you need is to come and get her back."
"..."
Again, this seemed to be a deal I could not just turn down. Considering my situation, it was true that this was my only option to get my revenge. But…
"...And how am I supposed to believe your words? The fatso P has tricked us with his deal to exchange the device. How could I know you had no ulterior motive?"
"Hehe, a reasonable argument. I know you were a bright person. But hmm… what about this?"
Mary stood up from her chair and walked away.
*Rustle* *Rustle*
*Grrr*
I could hear the sound of clothes being rumbled before Mary returned to her seat.
*Clank* *Clank*
The table made a heavy sound as Mary seemed to throw something towards me. I could hear it dropping right in front of me, something I could pick up even with my hands being tied down.
I slowly moved my hands along the object. It was made of steel, with a barrel-like topology and a cuboid part extruding from one end.
"This is…"
"Yes, it is a gun."
!
I saw it now, so she was picking up the gun from who I assumed to be James' and gave it to me.
"What do you want me to do…?"
"Well, it is nothing complicated. Since I want you to believe me, it is only fair I give you a reason to."
"..."
I had never held a gun before. Well, technically, I had done it when I played FPS games but those are virtual. This was real and serious.
But right now, I could not afford to be in awe.
Using my right hand to look for the handle, I held it steady with both hands and pointed it at Mary.
"Oh hoh, quite straightforward aren't you? But I recommend you open your eyes for better aim. And just so you know, I am only borrowing this girl's body. I don't mind you killing her but even I wouldn't want her to die."
"I know."
And with that said, I turned my arm to the right and made a shot.
*BANG*
The bullet was fired from the barrel and hit the wall. So this was how it felt to shoot a gun.
I pushed what I assumed to be the level for the magazine and ejected it. I made sure to feel the heaviness of the mag before injecting it back.
*Grrr*
As I carefully inspected the gun, Mary approached me. I could feel her standing in front of me.
"...What are you doing?"
"Giving you better aim of course. From this distance, you should be able to shoot me, or rather the girl, with no room for errors."
"I told you. I won't shoot her."
"Well, I suggest you should at least have the gun pointed at her nonetheless. I might just feel like fighting back for no reason."
"...Didn't you say you would help me?"
"That is that and this is this. People like us dislike restraints and rules. We like to live our life our own way. So I might just feel like fighting back when you start acting too bossy."
"Living your life your own way? Is that the justifications the two of you use to rape innocent women?"
"Hey! I would never rape women! That is more like P thing."
"...What do you call what you did back then?"
"You mean the masturbation? Well, I just enjoy experiencing pleasure from a woman's perspective. Since I am originally a male after all."
"..."
Nuts. All of these people sounded nuts. I could understand the desire to be free from constraints, but their definition of freedom only covered themselves, they did not care if others lost freedom or got hurt.
"But since we are at this, how about…"
Mary put her hand on one of mine and tried to lead it somewhere. I pulled it back just before pointing the gun in her direction.
"What are you doing now?"
"Heh are you scared of a defenseless woman while holding a gun? Come on, just give me your hand."
"..."
I decided to give my left hand to her while the other one was still holding tight to the gun.
Mary took it and placed it on her body.
"Can you feel it? The breasts of this woman are quite small right?"
"...Is that all you want my hand for? To pleasure yourself better?"
"Of course not. Think of this as my way of giving you the OK to fuck this girl. I may not be into rape but if this could gain your trust then I won't mind."
I pulled my hand back as fast as possible upon hearing those words.
"No thanks. Not everyone is as perverted and crazy in the head as you fucks"
"Ohhh harsh. But you know, that actually made me horny."
"Get out of my face and give me the key to the handcuffs if you want my trust so bad."
"One moment. Let me just bust this out real fast. Hghhh."
"Oh my fucking god…"
Mary no longer listened to what I had to say and just decided to masturbate on the spot.
I could not help but regret my decision to cooperate with this fucker already.
Would this be how I spent the rest of the night? As a companion of this fucker?
