The captain taunts them

“Oh right, we didn’t get out of that one, didn’t we?”

“…”

“B-but this one is different! I can move my legs this time, which means I can do this!” Annie lifted her leg to attempt a kick the captain, but the jolly woman just sidestepped and raised an eyebrow.

“What was that supposed to do?”

“I... I was going to grab your pants, rifle through your pockets and find something to free ourselves with.”

“With just one leg? Well, you missed in any case. And sadly for you, I don’t have anything on me but my cellphone.”

“Ah, I see.”

“And you also run out of time. The cavalry has arrived.”

Seeing the weird confrontation, the mayor, a middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat, and the chief of police, an amazonian woman that looked like a roman statue that came to life, both sprinted next to the three girls. They both paused when they got a closer look at the captive detectives.

The mayor walked up to Laura and stared at her chest intensively. “Errr, my eyes are up- ECK!” The man yanked Laura’s bikini top away while yelling something in Italian, her curvy chest wiggling with their newfound freedom.

“What the hell? Ah!” The man also did the same thing with her bottom. Laura nervously bent her knees inward, having been rendered naked in but an instant. “Seriously? Why?!”

“I’ll translate,” offered the captain. “The mayor said: That’s my wife’s swimsuit, the one that disappeared while she was swimming in the ocean just yesterday. You’ll pay for this, thief!”

“But I-”

“Aaaaaaah!”

Glancing at her side, Laura found that the chief of police had ripped Annie’s swimsuit with one strong pull. Talk about a monstrous strength. Just like Laura, the whole of Annie’s peachy skin was now devoid of any cover. The junior detective winced, her cheeks acquiring the same color as the morning horizon.

“This is my swimsuit! The one that disappeared at the charity triathlon! That’s what the chief is saying,” the captain translated.

“We didn’t take them!” Laura whined.

“Yeah, this woman is trying to entrap us!”
