Chapter 3- The Hulkess

Within minutes Tyler and I had woken up Jason and Cammie’s new boyfriend, who I now knew as Michael, and ran down the stairs to the lobby of the apartment building.

“Excuse me” I said to the lady standing behind the long, teal colored desk, “Hello, miss, excuse me, HELLO?!”

The lady turned around and looked at me as if I were an alien.

“Yeah, whadda ya want?” she said.

I took a moment before talking to her to size her up, to see if I could take her if she wouldn’t give me the security tapes. She was about 5’6” and had dark brown hair and had dark, chocolate colored skin. She was a pretty big woman, but I figured I could take her.

“I would like to see the security tapes taken a few minutes ago of the second floor please.” I said politely.

“Uh, no.” she responded curtly.

Oh goody, I get to release part of the female hulk inside me. Mwuahahah! However, just before I could go around the desk to beat the woman to a pulp Jason stepped in front of me seeing as I was going to punish the lady for telling me no. ‘Aw, fiddlesticks! No hulk for me!’ I thought to myself.

“Excuse me miss, our friend was just kidnapped from apartment number 214 and we NEED to see those tapes.” he said calmly.

The woman studied Jason for a moment, then responded,

“Oh, alright and did you know that Santa Claus lives right next door to that apartment?” she said sneeringly.

Ok, so now I was walking over to where you could get behind the desk and Jason was walking after me, but he was too late. I was around the desk in a minute staring angrily into the woman’s chocolate brown eyes and yelled,

“Ok, LOOK LADY. My BEST FRIEND was just kidnapped and if you don’t give me those security tapes I’ll…”

“You’ll what? Like you, skinny little white girl is gonna do a THING to Me.” she said rudely.

“OOOOhhh, THAT’S IT!” I yelled as I began to lunge for the woman.

At first it was a calamity of hair being pulled and fists in faces but after a minute Jason and Tyler pulled us away from each other. (I was happy to see that Tyler grabbed me versus the other woman, I smiled inwardly.) In the meantime Cammie’s new boyfriend was just standing off to the side, not worried about a thing.

“OKAY, OKAY. That’s enough, Hulkess.” Jason said to me after seeing the glee in my eyes at beating the black woman more than she had me.

“Will you give us the tapes NOW?” Tyler asked as I began struggling to get free from his wonderful and yet restraining grasp.

“FINE!” she said. “Go to the room at the end of the desk, near the wall and it’ll be in the VCR.” she said as she pointed towards the end of the desk where a small door was located. “Put another tape in when you take that one out.”

Jason let go of the woman but stuck around for a second more to make sure the woman wouldn’t go after me.

By now she was too bruised to want to even look at me. Therefore Jason went into the room and came back a minute or so later. The woman’s once chocolate colored left eye had turned red and the skin around it was swelling. I laughed inwardly at her black eye remembering her words before I beat her ‘Like you skinny little white girl is gonna do a THING to me’ hah. Maybe next time she’ll think TWICE before she challenges ANOTHER ‘skinny little white girl’.

The villain watched the other girl from the apartment he had just come from beat up the woman behind the desk. He laughed softly from outside the building at the girl’s insolence. He turned on his heel and left for the car that he had parked at the spot closest to the building. No one was awake at this time. It was midnight and all the lights were out in the building except for the lobby and the room on the second floor he had come from. The girl on his shoulder was beginning to feel a bit more heavy each step he took. When he reached the car he placed the girl in the backseat and looked at her longingly. Knowing that her friends would find her, eventually, but for now, he had orders.

He shut the door and then walked around to the driver’s side of the car and got in. When he was situated he locked the doors so that if the girl woke up she wouldn’t be able to get out. He looked at her from the rear view mirror as he turned on the car and backed up out of the parking space.

“She will never know” he said to himself.

He knew where he must take her, not one of her friends would know to look there. It was the most obvious of places. He pulled out onto the road, and went straight across.

We were back up in my apartment and watching the security tapes. Tyler had wanted to bandage me up before anything (which I thought was sweet considering Jason didn’t really DO anything to help), but I told him he could AFTER we caught the jerkoff who STOLE my best friend from my OWN apartment. Cammie’s new boyfriend had FINALLY helped out when we returned to my apartment by clearing off a space on the couch which HE had helped mess up.

On the TV screen in my apartment was the hallway outside. One minute there was the hallway and then the screen was black. The screen was like that for a long time. So while we all waited for the black screen to show some sort of movement Tyler and I went into my bathroom to try and fix up my arms and a bruise that was forming on my face where the woman behind the desk downstairs punched me, along with other bruises that had not started forming until now. According to him he had been a lifeguard in high school so he knew how to take care of wounds and bruises, but that’s not the only reason why I let him ‘tend to my wounds’.

“That was quite a beating you gave that woman.” He said. “I kind of feel sorry for her.” He laughed a bit after he said that. “I’d hate to be between one of you and your lifelong friends.”

I laughed a little but it hurt my side and I winced.

“What’s the matter?” He asked, sounding concerned.

“My side, I started laughing and it hurt.” I said as I winced again because it hurt to talk now.

“Oh.” he said. “Uh, this is going to be, umm, awkward, but I’ll uhh, need you to, umm, take your, uhh, take your shirt off.”

"....oh..." was all i could say.

He helped me with my shirt; it was difficult because I winced so much from the bruise, or whatever it was. Boy was I glad I hadn’t eaten those last four cookies that i boughtMonday. A few seconds later he was looking at my side; his hands were on me, trying to see what the problem was. As soon as he touched me I went rigid. He looked up at me.

“I’m sorry this is so……weird, but please, just relax and I’ll try to figure this thingout.” He said.

I tried to relax, and I sort of did, but it was just all too much for me. I didn’t let him know that though, he would think I was childish. His hands were fiddling with the edge of my bra.

“Uhhh, what are you doing?” I asked defensively.

He laughed a little, then said, “Sorry, but the bruise, it goes all the way up your side. I didn’t mean to make you nervous. Sorry.”

As soon as he started looking at me again I thought I heard someone in the hallway, I wasn’t sure so I just let him continue. He began fiddling with my bra again, but I knew that he was just trying to help, so I stayed calm. Right then the doorknob started to turn; we hadn’t locked the door because we thought we’d be right out. The door opened, and there stood Jason, he looked up and saw what was going on, but he misinterpreted it.

‘Oh great’ I thought to myself.
