“I’m ready for you, Mr. Rapist, Fred Kravitz, or should I say Dick Stern? That’s your name, right?” Dick stopped mid-step and glared at her.

“It don’t make no never-mind who I am, I’m not ready for introductions. You ready yourself old lady,because thiswillbe quick, but not painless, I’m afraid. I’m saving the good stuff for beauty, there, and the name’s a need to know basis. She knows who I am, and whether I’m Bozo the clown or Captain Kangaroo, ain’t gonna make much difference. You’ll be shouting to God when I fill you up with this goodness. Yeah, call me God. I am a God, and you two bitches will see heaven today.” His laughter filled the air, and he dropped to his knees in the sand. His hands pushed Stella’s legs apart and he grasped at her thin panties with his thick fingers.

“Oh yeah, I’m feeling it, Iwill fuck you until you plead mercy, or until you bleed, whichever comes first.” The material tore off in his hand and he tossed them at Belle.

“Guess you fucked with the wrong Dick, chick,” he said, then began giggling. Belle glared at him and then smirked.

“Well, Dick, go ahead. If screwing ahelpless womangets your rocks off, have at it. But so you know, the poor little girl in your car is your daughter. I pray you haven’t killed her or your grandchild. Go ahead, tell him, Stella.” Dick dropped the gun on the ground and turned to Stella.

“She’s a lying bitch, because I don’t have any spawn. I bet she’s making that up so I’ll go easier. Well, it’s party time, ladies. Lie to Dickall you want. Itdoesn’tmean a lick. Mr. Happy haswaitedfor a pieceof you both for fartoo long.” He held his meaty penis in his hand and rubbed his fingers together as his juices flowed. He brought his fingers up to his mouth and licked them, then moved his hands towards Stella’s mound. Gyrating his hips, he started singing at the top of his lungs.

“This is how we do it…”

The sound of the gunfire made Belle jump, and she watched in shock as the bright red spray burst out from Dicks’ forehead. His face torqued in a sneer as his eyes moved to Belle. Another bullet hole erupted from his chest and thrust him forward. He landed on top of Stella, and she screamed. Belle glanced up and saw Sal and Angel standing a few feet away behind where Dick had been kneeling. Her hands shook, and she looked over at Stella. Angel rushed over and pulled Dick off of her. Stella sobbed as she wiped at the blood that covered her body. She moved to her side and grabbed her dress. Angel helped her up, and she hugged him tight as her body shook with sobs.

“Oh Christ, that was a mite too close for comfort. I knew Sal was out there somewhere, and I felt better when I saw you and Bree making out when we pulled in to the lot. Christ, what a dirt-bag. Where’s Lacey? Is she all right?” She pulled her shift over her head and giggled nervously, now embarrassed.

“I know it’s a nudie beach, but y’all needn’t have seen that much of this old gal. Sorry about that, I’m glad he started with me. I’d havehated for Belle tobeput through that misery. It’s a shame he’s dead, though. I was hoping he’d spend eternity in the joint, but I guess it’s saving the taxpayers some dough.” She glanced up at the sky and winked.

“Thanks for helping,Willie. I know you’re watching down on us, and I know you ain’t gonna see this scumbag up there. Makes me happy to think he’ll rot in hell.” She turned and saw Bree and Lacey walking down the path. Lacey wasin shock, and Stella moved around Angel. Closing the distance, she gathered her in her arms.

“My sweet baby girl, I am so glad he didn’t lay a hand on you. Are you okay? How’s baby bunting in there? I found the pill on the floor. Oh, and thanks for the heads up on things. When you said Jeffery, itconfused me for a moment, then I realizedyou were saying something by not saying something. Christ, it’s your wedding day, too.” Lacey smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

“Mom,I’ll be all right, andI hope this means there won’t be any shootings at my ceremony. I assume he’s the one who shot up Belle’s wedding?” Stellalooked down at the blood spray on her hands.

“With that monster dead,it’s better thanwhen I woke this morning. You’re stilltying the knot, right? I don’t know how we will explainthis fiasco to Horst. We didn’t want to involve him init.I knew he’d getkeyed up and go off half-cocked.” Lacey smiled.

“I still plan on marrying the man of my dreams, never fear. We’ve got to get you back and cleaned up. Hell, whataboutthe police? Has anyone called them yet to tell them what happened?” Stella shook her head and turned around, watching asSal and Angel dragged Dick’s body out in the water.

“Ain’t no reason to call them over a career criminal who may just wash up on shore dead, right?” Lacey smiled and nodded. Belle and Bree walked over and joined them at the path to the parking lot.

“Yeah, I guess that’s the end of that. The scumbag can drift out to sea and have a reunion with his lovely mother Berta. The two of them deserve each other. How are you both? Lacey, did he drug you?” Lacey shook her head no and smiled.

“I spit out the capsule he tried to make me swallow and threw it on the floor at Stellas. I had to pretend to be knocked out, and he wasokay with my acting job, thank God. Whatever was in it wasn’t meant to kill me. Oh shit, what time is it?” Belle glanced at her watched and smiled.

“It’s ten-thirty, why? You late for a very important date?There’splenty of time, don’t fret it.” Lacey glanced over as Sal and Angel trekked up the beach. Lacey wrapped her arms around them both and cried.

“You saved my life, thank you so much, but who fired the shot? Sal? Angel?” Both menglancedat each other,shaking their heads.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, shot? No one was shooting… No one here got shot. I think it was a car back-firing or something. The world is now a better place, though. We have a wedding tohit and it will be amazing. I hear this gorgeous pregnant hottie is walking down the aisle with a tall foreign man, are you invited?” Angel laughed and Lacey rolled her eyes.

“I get it, yep, nothing happened here. It’sa dream wherea big group of friendsheadedto the nudie beach to not get nude and swim. Mums the word, and my lips areas tight as a clam. Can we gonow? I’ve got to get dolled-upfor my shining moment with my Prince. Come,let’s go home.” She looked at Angel and smiled as he wrapped his arms around Bree and pulled her close.

“There’s been manyweddings happening, andwho knows, it might be contagious.” Bree socked him in the arm and giggled. Angel lifted her up and spun her around and kissed her hard.

“I’m just joking, my love. I don’t think either of us are ready for that step, besides, I hear once you tie the knot, things go downhill from there.” Belle looked at Sal as she slapped Angel’s bicep.

“I find it’s the best thing a girl could wish for, to find the man of her dreams. I don’t suppose you and Bree want to borrow the lamp next, by any chance?” Bree gazed into Angels eyes and smiled.

“Hmm… Maybe in the future, but not yet, though. I needa cocktail or ten first, then a hotshower would be nice, and maybe it willsettle my nerves. What do you say Ang, want to wash my back? I promise I’ll do yours, too.” Angel nibbled on her earlobe and Stella glanced up at the two of them.

“Get a room! Better yet,finish what you started in the car.” The group chuckled as Bree blushed.

“Let’s hit the trailfolks. I shall keep my mental notes on this moment for a future Studlove award-winning novel. Do you think folks would believe it?” Belle kissed her on the cheek and they followed the others down the path. She glanced back and gazed at the water. The fins surfaced and the thrashing of the water left her calm andhappy.

“All’s well that ends well, my sweet.” Belleturned back to see her friends moving away in the distance.Sal waited for her at the entrance to the path, giving her a few minutes to take in the view of Dick’s demise.

Inhaling deep, she watched the pairs hand in hand, and her eyes met Sals. He held out his hand to her, and she grinned. The love etched across his face made her believe that they’d done well in handling the situation. The fins behind her disappeared from view, the water calmed, and the waves glistened in the sunlight. She walked towards him, her body tall and straight. Strength filled her heart. Deep withinshe kneweverything would unfold as it should.

The End
