Grab the stockings the woman offers you and put it on your head.

The fabric is fragranced, and the smell immediately gets into your nose… and mind. Sure, that’s how the beauty smells!

And that’s more - the stocking squeezes your face…. and for some reason, it feels nice. It feels safe. Well, you always feel good while held and restrained, so this doesn’t surprise you.

The woman looks satisfied.

“I prefer the stretchy ones, like good pantyhose and young women…”

And before you could react to the words, that make your cheeks feel hot, the woman continues:

“I’m Linda, by the way. So - what’s going on?”

You tell Linda what happened to you and, no doubt, leave her impressed.

“So, if I’m allowed to be metaphoric, you have both lion’s and hare’s hearts… “ - Linda says.

Well, thank you… I guess.

“... and the Scarecrow’s brain. I mean, you lack any”.

That’s rude!

“Don’t you worry, these are the exact ingredients to make a worthy ****”.

If Linda intended to sugar-coat that bitter truth, then… well, maybe she managed to. A bit.

“Okay, let’s see our options. Firstly, I can hide you in the storeroom. But frankly speaking, that’s the most obvious place to look for you. Although, we aren’t even sure these criminals are still chasing you. So the storeroom is… quite comfy to stay in”

You wish! That’d be too easy if they just stop pursuing you. And you don’t feel lucky enough for this.

"The other option is… out-of-the-box. I need more mannequins in my store, and you could become one of them”.

Wow, that’s really creative. Although, what did you expect from the woman that puts stockings on mannequins’ heads?

“Anyway, you will owe me”.

“I’ll do everything, just help me!” - you say with a faltering voice. Yes, these words usually put girls into perils… but you already got into serious problems.

“Everything” is fine for me” - she says predatorily -
