Chapter 11: What Do We Do Now?

Mrs Clusky now just chuckled to herself as she said this then turned towards the low hedge she was standing by and began talking to it. To Jared who was still back up in the house it looked like she was talking to herself or the shrubbery or some invisible man. It was really weird because he could not hear a word of anything she was saying on account of the rain and the constant roll of thunder over their heads.

If he could have heard he would have heard Mrs Clusky saying this, “You two younguns can come out now. But yuh better git inside quicksmart. There’s no tellin’ when that good for nothin’ varmint will come back.”

There was a brief pause then the wily old woman spoke again into the hedge growth.

“Come on. You can come out now. Ain’t no one going to hurt you now. And if that half brained shiftless bum does show up again I’ll whip his ass good and proper. And he’ll get no warnin’ this time. Come on now. Get out of this storm before you both catch your death.”

As Jared watched his neighbor talking to herself down at the front of his property he suddenly caught sight of two shadowy figures begin to emerge from under the hedge. The rain had just started to ease off a fraction so he was able to see more clearly as those two figures unfolded themselves from their hiding position.

With a sudden shock of understanding Jared realized that they were the mother and daughter that his drunk neighbor from a few doors down had been looking for. Jared also suddenly realized that they had been there the whole time - hiding under that hedge in all this cold rain and wind for anything up to an hour at least. Their concealment had been aided by the leafy foliage of the hedge bushes plus the various other small shrubs dotted around the front garden of Jared’s home.

Jared also suddenly realized with a horrible sick feeling grabbing his stomach that the two women were still wearing nothing but their flimsy nighties. They were soaked through of course and the wet material clung to their bodies like it was just part of their skin. Jared could see every curve and bump of their female frames through that now transparent fabric. He could also clearly see their wet panties and the dark pubic hair underneath in stark relief to everything else around that region of their bodies. Jared could also plainly see their breasts and nipples standing out from each of their chests like they just had nothing on at all. The rain had also plastered the shoulder length hair of each woman right across their faces in a tangled mass of knots and frayed ends. There was also a considerable amount of dirt and filth smeared right around their bodies like they had each just crawled out of a sewer.
