CHAPTER 15
Starsky sat his glass in the sink as his thoughts raced back to the one thing that had been eating at his sub-concious mind for the past few minutes. The sound that he had completely ignored as they were leaving. Someone had been following them. Why the hell hadn’t he picked up on it?
“Hutch.” He said out loud as his heart pounded wildly and the adrenaline flowed through his veins. He had to get to Hutch’s place…before it was too late. He rushed into his bedroom and grabbed his gun from the dresser…picked up the clip and slapped it hard into the chamber. Then he headed out the door and climbed into his car.
******************************
Hutch arrived at his place and slowly pulled into the driveway…turned off the engine and locked both doors. He strolled up the walkway to his front door and reached for the key above the doorframe where he kept it. He then let out a large yawn as he slowly unlocked the door…and that was all he could remember.********************************
Joe Joe drove carefully with her lights off down the little street and pulled up about a half block from his place. She watched him as he locked his car and followed behind him as he stepped up to the front door. He was unaware of her presence and so he was an easy target as she hit him over the head and his tall gorgeous body fell straight to the floor…completely unconscious.******************************
“Wake up Lover.” Joe Joe whispered as he began to move his head and moan. He was tied to the bed tightly and she was sitting on top of him now…straddling his body.
He was very groggy and it took several moments for his mind to focus on his surroundings. His head was throbbing and he had blood running down the side of his face…he couldn’t see it but he could feel it. He could also feel the fact that he was totally naked. She had obviously stripped him of his clothing before tying him up. As his head cleared he realized that he was completely helpless. The ropes where very tight and his hands and feet were almost totally numb. She began to stroke his hair gently and rub her hands up and down his chest as she spoke to him in soft tones.
“Don’t be afraid lover….Joe Joe won’t hurt you as long as you give her what she wants.” She told him…speaking in the third person as she played with his mind.
“What does Joe Joe want?” Hutch asked in a whisper as he played along with the game. He really didn’t have much of a choice and if he could gain her trust he might be able to convince her to remove the straps.
“Just a taste of what you have.” She said as she leaned in close to his face. “And I’ll give you something you want in return.” She told him as she kissed him softly on the neck and ran her tongue down his hairless chest.
“But I told you…I’m already involved.” Hutch said as he squirmed in an effort to get her to stop…the warmth and wetness of her tongue on his skin was making him naucious.
Joe Joe sat back up suddenly and glared at him angrily. “You mean that little crybaby you hang around with?” She asked him “He can’t be very satisfying.”
“We’ve been together for a long time.” Hutch added.
“Then why don’t you live together?” She posed the question. “I saw you drop him off.”
“I need my own space.” Hutch told her as he pulled at the ropes to test their hold on him.
“Let me show you what you’re missing out on.” She cooed as she looked deep into his pale blue eyes. “You know I can give you so much more.”
“I can’t.” Hutch told her as he tried hard to form his next sentence…put
in
the right context…it was true. But not in the way he was about to say
it.
“I love him.”
*****************************
Starsky drove as fast as he could towards the other end of town…he had the siren on but didn’t bother to place the light on top of the car. If they couldn’t hear him coming he’d just go around them. He had to get to Hutch as fast as possible. The thought of what she could do to him turned his stomach. What an unconceivable way to die. Of all the times they had been shot and everything else that they had gone through together. To picture Hutch on a coroner’s slab with his manhood missing and the other cops staring down at his body….Oh God…it was more than he could bare.
He noted the stale smell of marijuana as it filled the inside of his car but he ignored it. It hardly registered in his mind as his thoughts focused on his partner. If he was too late…at least maybe he could try to stop the bleeding…pack it in ice and hope they could repair the damage at the hospital. Because he wasn’t up on his needlepoint.
************************************
Joe Joe raised her right hand up high enough so that Hutch could see what she had concealed in it. The sharp edges of the knife shined in the overhead light as she drew it closer to his throat and began to run it’s tip gently down his chest in a zig zag pattern. He froze at the sight of it as he remembered what she had done to poor Bobby.
(OH…SHIT!) He thought and swallowed hard as he felt the cold steel edge make its way down his neck. Then he felt it penetrate…slicing a small gash in his chest as the warm blood flowed down his side. Then another one…on the other side a little deeper than the first and more painful. He let out a small moan followed by a couple of short gasps of air as she continued to cut the pattern into his chest. Her face holding a steady cold smile the whole time.
“You can make it stop.” She told him in a soft whisper. “All you have to do is surrender.”
“Surrender?” Hutch asked as he held his head up to watch the knife as it continued down his body.
“Yes….Surrender and make Love to me.” She said as she placed yet another deep gash across his stomach. “Or die…It’s your choice.”
