//------------------------------// // 4 - A Million Dollar Girl // Story: Pantyhose Warrior // by Bad Dragon //------------------------------// “Nobody calls me Pantyhose Warrior!” Wallflower almost screamed as she turned back, even though she heard that phrase being said behind her back at least a dozen times already. “That’s too bad,” said the other businessman. The first one added almost before the second one finished. “I guess the one whom the internet calls Pantyhose Warrior won’t receive the million dollars from the Flim and Flam brothers then.” “A million dollars…” Wallflower said as in a trance she was actually in due to the oncoming heat-stroke. “All you have to do is sign this contract, and they’re yours.” The second one said “More or less…” the first one added. It was too good to be true, but more than that, Wallflower thought about the opportunity for freedom. Her last hope of salvation. “I’d need a free hand to sign anything.” One held a contract before her eyes while the other took out a cell phone from his pocket. The familiar red light glared at the desperate girl. “Have you read this contract and do you agree with everything that is in it?” “Yes, I’ve read it and agree to it, now let me sign it.” She signaled with her head to the bound right hand. The first businessman passed the contract to his brother and stuck a cane under all the layers of pantyhoses to make a small opening. It wasn’t much, but it was just enough for Wallflower to free the elbow and then the hand. Not wanting to deal with anybody at that time or in her life ever again, she quickly signed the contract, turned back to unlock the door then ran to the bathroom. Wallflower hoped in vain that she would be able to unpeel all the layers before the call of nature would get the better of her.
