Double Details

Madison looked at her watch nervously and scanned the area. There should be sirens wailing in the distance any second. The girl detective bit her lip and decided to press on, cops or no cops. The cellar door opened with a metallic shriek, spoiling whatever advantage could be gained by surprise. Madison moved ahead flashlight in hand down the concrete steps.

Amanda ! Bound ! Gagged !! Her eyes wide and pleading. Madison moved impulsively forward. A hand clamped over her mouth from behind.

MMMmmmPPMMNNGGPPhhh!!

Madison found herself overpowered, gagged and secured awkwardly in the kidnapped girl’s lap.

Where were the cops ?

“Stupid girl ! We gave you accurate directions to recover your friend and the cops got the fakes, they’re clear across town !”

“Plenty of time for us to get away with the ransom, and no one to stop us either. Better luck next time.”
