Chapter 15

Edited by Steve

Tim called a famous nightclub on the station to make the reservation for a room with a private dance floor. He also called the army supply store. With the information Jim gave, he figured he needed better armor for himself and the girls.

Pauline ran into the bridge, “Tim, both the girls are coming down in a few minutes.” She jumped into Tim’s lap and hugged him. “Thank you. I’ve never had a shopping trip before.”

Tammy came to the bridge, “Tim, Madlyn was thinking of not coming, but we talked her into it.” She leaned on Pauline and gave him a big kiss.

All the girls were now on the bridge and talking up a storm. Tim was silent for a moment, and then he said, “Ladies, if you’ll allow me,” He waited for them to settle down, “I’ve ordered a limousine to take you shopping. While you’re shopping, I’ll run a couple of errands myself. Tabatha, I’ll give you my account number. All of you girls have access to an almost unlimited amount of money to spend.”

We will gather at the Hollgates Hotel in the lobby at eighteen hundred hours. Then we’ll go into our rooms, change, and prepare for dinner and dancing.”

The girls were all jumping around and talking about what they wanted to get; Madlyn slid up next to Tim, “Thank you, but you don’t have to do this for me! I’ve only been with you for a short time. So, I’ll go along and watch.”

“Tabitha, come over here, please,” Tim asked; Tabitha walked over, “Madlyn feels she doesn’t deserve anything. Could you and the others make sure she purchases many items? Each of you needs this time. Enjoy, and see you later.”

Tabitha grasped Madlyn’s hand and walked her over to the other girls. “Ladies, Madlyn seems to think she has nothing to do with us; she thinks she needs nothing.”

“Every woman is always looking for something new. So, beginning with our foundation, an erotic pair of undies will be a good beginning.” Tammy said. “The hotter, the better. You always want them to know it’s there but not seen.”

“Then we rely on it, with a real blouse in sexy silk, skinny, to show our assets.” Said Pauline.

“Then we will cover our treasure with a short yet tight-fitting miniskirt,” added Tabitha.

“But you need a good and stylish pair of sexy stiletto heels,” Tammy added.

“Have we made you change your mind? If not, we will find you a real naughty store to buy whatever you need there.” Tabitha said.

“OK! OK, I’ll go,” Madlyn said.

Sarha announced, “Ladies, there is a limousine outside waiting for you. Enjoy your evening. And Madlyn, the doctors, and I will attend to Jeanne!”

Tim waited for the second limo. After it arrived, he directed the driver to the army supply store. The driver asked why, and Tim told him, “I need equipment for my team. Why?”

“There is a superior mall in the hub of this shipyard. With multiple stores for the military. Would you want to go to the army supply store, your choice?” The driver said.

“I’ll take your advice; we’ll go to the mall. Do you know any of the suppliers?”

“What are you looking for? Most of the builders are there.”

“I want the best, nothing less. What is your name?” Tim asked.

“I am Mike. I’ll make a call. They will have someone at the front doors waiting for you.” The driver pulled up in front of an enormous storefront.

Tim asked, “Mike, Are you in a rush? If not, wait for me here. I’ll need to go to the Hotel Hollgates from here.” He then got out and walked to the doors.

The doors were opened by a gorgeous female, “My name is Mandriel. I am with Lake Amulet Armory. If you would please follow me this way.” She turned and started walking. Tim thought about how she walked, ‘If I did, I would break every bone in my hips.’

Mandriel asked, “May I please have your name, Sir?”

“Colonel Tim Bodge Retired.” This was to let her and others know it was for military use. Tim reached into his vest pocket for his ID, handing it to her.

Walking up to the storefront, “Thank you, Sir.” She opened the door; an older woman was standing right there. “Madam Kellie, this is Colonel Tim Bodge, Retired. He is looking for space armor for his crew. Mandriel handed her Tim’s ID, turned, and strutted away.

“Colonel, I will be here waiting for you,” Mandriel said as she walked back out the doorway.

“Colonel, what would you wish to see in the equipment?” Madam Kellie asked, standing in front of a display case.

“I only want to see the best you have. Look at the credit chip before you ask more questions.” Tim said and stood waiting.

Madam Kellie was scanning Tim’s credit chip. Seeing the security clearance and the amount, she turned to him and said, “If you would come this way, Sir.” She led him through a rear door.

Tim looked around, seeing a lot of equipment that was unfamiliar to him. Madam Kellie said, “This equipment is not for everyone, but you might have seen some in your field of work.” Tim looked closer, recognizing some of the items his men had used.”

“Is there anything special you wanted to see?” She asked as they walked around, examining the various items.

“What is the best thing that you have to protect the body? Both for men and women?” Tim asked.

“Will one of these be for you?” Madam Kellie asked, “If so, please try the black set there, and it comes in both male and female sizes.” She pulled out a black set of armor for Tim to try on. She continued, “This armor will withstand an impact from a 30-millimeter shot with no damage.”

Tim got into the suit and walked around, checking for comfort. Removing it, he said, “I’ll take two male sets, this size, and ten female sets. My assistant will send you their measurement. Could they be delivered to platform 13 tomorrow at 14:00?”

Madam Kellie said, “Sir, that’s not going to be a problem. They are delivered in security cabinets, each with a male or female tag and size on the outside. Do you want our delivery service to bring them on board for you?”

“No, leave them next to the ramp. It’s a secure docking bay.” Tim said. He called, “Sarha, I need you to send measurements of each female, all 5. Please. Send them to Madam Kellie’s attention, in care of Lake Amulet Armory.”

“Tim, the information you requested is on the way. Anything else?” Sarha replied.

“No, the items will be delivered by 14:00 tomorrow. Please, keep a watch for these items.” Tim turned to Madam Kellie, “It was nice doing business with you. You have a great day.”

“Colonel, Thank you for your business. If you need anything else, call, and I’ll get it to you.” Madam Kellie replied. She showed Tim to the door, where Mandriel was waiting.

Mandriel thanked Madam Kellie. She turned to Tim and asked, “Is there anything else I could help you with, Sir.” She had that horny look in her eyes, and they sparkled, and the way she moved, she put her whole body and feeling into it.

Tim knew he had four beautiful women waiting for him, “You have been very helpful, but I had better leave before I get into trouble.” He walked outside, where Mike had waited for him, and Mike took Tim to the Hotel Hollgates.

Tabitha, Tammy, Pauline, and Madlyn left the ship and got into the limo. The driver said, “Ladies, my name is Dannas; where would you like to go?”

“To the best dress store on this station!” Tabitha said with a giggle. All the girls were sitting around laughing and carrying on.

“Well, we have three of the best shops on this side of the galaxy. Which one do you want?” Dannas asked. He turned to look at the girls. He has seen many things in his years of work, but three cat women and a sexy female with big tits, well, he will have to keep his head looking straight ahead.

Tabitha looked at the girls, and they all nodded their heads. Then, she told Dannas, “We would like to go to all three, and we don’t care which one first. Could you wait for us?”

“I have been booked for you. No matter how long it will take. Besides, you will need a second limo to carry your boxes with how you girls are carrying on.”

“May I call ahead? That way, someone will meet you at the doors.”

“You had better tell them at least two salespeople for each of us,” Tammy said. All the girls laughed and shook their heads yes.

Dannas called all three shops to let them know what the girls needed and what they wanted. Making sure the managers knew they were big spenders.

They stopped in front of the first store; the whole front of this store was decorated in a military theme, with pictures of soldiers dressed in the store’s clothing. A group of people came out to meet them, and all were dressed in military uniforms. The manager introduced himself. When Tabitha got out of the limo, two saleswomen came up to her, dressed in combat fatigues. “We will be here to help and serve you, mam?” They acted like we were the top brass of the space force.

After Tabitha, the rest of the girls received the same treatment. Each girl was asked where they wanted to start. They went from store to store for the next two hours, and each store gave the girls the same treatment. Finally, the managers had all the packages labeled with the girls’ names and stored in the limo.

Dannas sat in the limo, verifying that all packages had been placed within the limo and which store each package was from, along with the girls’ names.

The girls finally finished shopping. He drove them to Hotel Hollgates and called ahead to have hotel porters ready to help the girls.

Tabitha and the girls walked into the lobby, followed by about fifteen hotel porters loaded with their packages. They looked around the hall, all adorned with large flower pots. The walls are painted a pale blue, with white pillars holding the ceiling in place. They were looking at the ceiling, seeing a blue background with white spots, making it look like the sky of their home planet. The manager told the hotel porters to take the packages to the Emperor Suite. Tabitha was looking at the rest of the girls with her jaw dropped. She and the girls just followed the hotel porters.

The Hotel manager handed Dannas an envelope saying, “This is for you, from Tim.” The envelope contained his payment plus a large tip, asking if he could be available around 8 p.m. For a dinner run.

Dannas told the manager, “Yes, tell him I will be here.” Dannas turned and walked back to the limo. He knew this would be a great thing, waiting on this group. Not every day do you get a large payday, along with being surrounded by such beautiful women.

Everyone tried to tell Tim everything in the Emperor Suite and showed him their new clothes. Tim was sitting there, enjoying everything that was going on. It was more confusing than some of the military planning committees. Where nothing got done, but here, he was enjoying it.

Tim asked for quiet; everybody turned to see what he wanted, “Ladies, please, we have dinner reservations in an hour. Please get dressed.” The girls turned. Tim heard someone say, “But I don’t have a thing to wear.” The whole room exploded in laughter.

Tim left and headed to a bedroom. He had a tuxedo laid out on the bed, waiting for him. After dressing, he returned to the living room to wait for the girls.

The girls ran into their rooms and dressed in their new outfits. About half an hour later, Tabitha was the first one out. She wore a long red evening gown with a formal, elegant deep neck that showed off all her curves. It was an off-the-shoulder, form-fitting dress in satin with a slit up the right leg molded to her body. She slowly turned around, allowing Tim to see how beautiful she was and how well her dress fits. She was wearing red over-the-knee stiletto heel boots. She asked, “Is this OK?”

Tim stared at a completely distinctive but beautiful woman. Finally, Tim said, “You are more than OK; you are breathtakingly beautiful.” Then, he walked over to the woman, held her hand over her head, and spun her around for another look. “Mother Nature ultimately met her match. For instance, your beauty tonight is far more than Mother Nature could ever do or think of doing.” Tim relayed this with a sparkle in his eyes.

“Thank you, but you are too kind, with such beautiful words, but you will have to see the other girls, Tammy, come on out!” Tabitha smiled as she spoke.

Tammy came out wearing a stunning black open-back formal evening gown with spaghetti straps, half sleeve, lace with sash ribbon sequin, and black pointed-toe with two-inch heels. She also did a slow turn, showed off the whole woman, and then stepped to the side, looked back to the bedroom door, bringing her arm up and pointing at the door.

“Next, we have the beautiful Pauline,” Tabitha said.

Pauline stepped out of the doorway, still in her feline form. She was wearing a lime green-colored luxurious satin long-sleeve evening gown with a deep V-neck (the v part came together at her waist and only covered half of each of her breasts.). She was wearing leatherette sparkling glitter heels and doing a pirouette and stepped aside. She also pointed to the doorway.

“And finally, our doctor,” Tabitha said. At this time, Madlyn stepped through the doorway.

Madlyn came out wearing an elegant evening gown, a cream-colored long-sleeve maxi long empire waist, sheer silken sleeves, with a flowy A-line skirt.

Tim stood there and looked at the four most beautiful women he had ever known. He looked at each of them, “No words can express the beauty that I see before my eyes. I see the four most beautiful women that were hiding their beauty. But they are now gracing this world.

The women started towards Tim, each telling him thanks and asking, “When is dinner?”

Tim called the reception desk and requested they call Dannas since they were ready for dinner. Tim and the ladies exited the elevator, parading through the lobby. Everyone in the lobby halted to look at Tim and his entourage, and everyone just looked, seeing one man accompanied by four beautiful women.

Tim let the ladies exit first. The doorman held his hand to help each lady as she stepped out of the hotel. Tim watched from just inside the door. The passersby stopped to watch these beautiful ladies, one just as beautiful as the other. It was a breath-stopping sight.

The grace of each lady, flowing between the Hotel doorway to the limo, was like watching butterflies in an open field and enjoying the freedom of free flight.

Dannas had waited for them as soon as they exited the main entrance. He assisted each woman into the limousine, informing each exactly how beautiful she looked. Once Tim got in, he told Dannas the restaurant they had reservations for. Dannas drove them to the restaurant and planned on waiting there for their return.

They entered the restaurant, and the head waiter confirmed their reservation was for a private room, guiding them to the room.

In the room, he held the door and told every lady how breathtaking she was. “Sir, you are the envy of all men to be in the company of such beautiful women.” The head waiter said.

He told Tim there would be someone to look after them soon. Tim, always a gentleman, held the chair for every lady. Then he sat down himself. They all started talking. Five servers entered the room, filled the water glasses, explained the menu, and took their food order.

“Are you ladies enjoying yourselves?” Tim asked. Each told him yes and thanked him for the enjoyable evening. The dinner went quite nicely, and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks.

“I have never been treated like royalty before. Tabitha, were you treated this way all the time?” asked Pauline.

“No, if I were, I would still be there.”

“Ladies, you should be treated like royalty because, in my eyes, you are,” Tim said.

Tim saw the ladies were ready to leave and helped each out of their seats.

To show how much each appreciated Tim’s handling of the evening, each one kissed him and thanked him.

They left the restaurant, and the people outside stopped to see who all the commotion was for. Seeing Tim and the four women, Tim heard, “That’s some lucky guy.”

Dannas again helped all the women into his limo and asked Tim, “Sir, where to now?” He turned to start the limo up and was ready for the name, and he was aware of most nightclubs by name and location.

“Do you know of Brandyland nightclub?” Tim asked. He took a seat and motioned for the girls to quiet down for a minute.

“Yes, Sir, I do. Do you want the front entrance, or would you like the private entrance?” Dannas asked. “If it’s private, I’ll make the call now. I know the doorman, and he’s my brother.”

“Private, if we could,” Tim said. Then, he turned back to the girls and started talking to each of them.

Dannas drove up to the private entrance. He stepped out of the limo to help everyone out. Finally, the doors to the club opened. Coming out was a large man. He hugged Dannas, and Dannas said something.

He stepped back inside for a moment. He returned with a woman next to him. Dannas was looking at Tim, “This is Linda. She will be your guide for tonight, well, that’s what we’ll call her, as long as you are here. Ask her for whatever you need or want, and she will make it happen.”

“Ladies and Sir, please follow me. I’ll show you to your party room.” Linda said. Tim and the girls followed her through the corridors and the second-floor room. She opened the door, allowed Tim and the girls to go in first, followed them, and closed it.

She walked to the bar and told the bartender that these were her guests For the evening. She turned to Tim and the girls, saying, “This is Jacqueline Levine. She will get or make any food or drink you may want. They will only be two other servers in and out of here. This room is yours for as long as you are here. Enjoy!”

Tim looked around the room. A table was set up for them. In front of the table was the dance floor. The wall to his right was a half wall; the bottom half was glass, and the top half was open so they could hear the live band’s music.

The girls gathered at the half wall, looked down onto the crowded dance floor below, and moved to the music. Tim sat at the table to listen to music and watch the girls. Jacqueline walked towards Tim. “May I ask your name and what would you like to drink?”

“I’m Tim. I’ll have a beer, any kind, as long as it is cold.” Tim answered. He watched all the movement at the half wall. There were four fantastic, covered behinds, all swaying to the beat of the music.

Jacqueline walked over to the women, taking their drink orders.

Tammy started to dance, found it hard with her heels, stopped, and removed them. She danced by herself, eyes closed, letting her body move to the beat.

Tim watched her; her movement was a wonder to watch. He didn’t know a body could move so many ways simultaneously. She looked so natural at the same time.

Tabitha and Pauline turned to see Tammy dancing, and they moved next to her, removed their shoes, and started dancing. Madlyn turned, saw Tim sitting at the table by himself, walked over, and sat down.

“Why aren’t you dancing?” Tim asked. He looked at the girls on the dance floor and talked to Madlyn at the same time.

He turned his head, looking at Madlyn. She turned to look at the girls, seeing them moving with the music.

“Tim, they are all young. I’m about twice their age, and I’m 30 years old. They have energy, and I lost mine a few years back.”

“I’m older than you, and I can still dance like them,” Tim said. He sat there, laughing.

Tammy, hearing Tim’s Statement, went over, grabbed his hand, “Come on, old man, you said you might want to try to do it.”

“I said I could do it. Not try.” Tim said. He grabbed Madlyn’s hand, “If I can, you can too.” Everyone on the dance floor made room for them.

Tim started dancing with Madlyn to the fast pace of the music. In a few moments, the rest of the girls joined them. Everyone was having fun and enjoying the music, food, and drinks.

Tim and Madlyn had to sit down for a while. “I guess the music is a bit too fast for me,” Tim noted.

The evening went by fast. Before everyone knew it, it was two in the morning.

Tim settled the bill and called Dannas to see if he could take them back to the hotel.

“I’m waiting right outside now,” Dannas said. As the girls came out, he helped them into the limo. Finally, Tim and everyone was ready to head to the hotel. As Dannas pulled away from the entrance, two black limos drove by him, speeding.

“The way they are driving, they’ll have an accident,” Dannas said. A few minutes later, he had traveled down the road, saw flashing lights ahead, and slowed down. Saw the two limos blocking the street. Dannas pulled up to the scene.

Dannas started to get out to see if he could help. Tim said, “Dannas, could you stay in the vehicle? I’ll go see what can be done.”

“I’ll get out with you. Maybe I’ll be able to help.” Madlyn said.

“No, you need to stay in the limo; I’ll call if needed,” Tim asked. She sat back down to wait.

All the girls now moved closer to the window to see better. They saw the two limos blocking the road.

Tim steps out of the vehicle and heads toward the vehicle, noticing a body on the ground. He asked, “Is everyone OK?” Tim looked around and saw only the two guys on the ground and the other standing next to him.

The one standing did not bend over to see if the other guy was hurt. This made Tim believe this was a setup. But why? Tim walked over very slowly to the guy on the ground, bending over to see if he was hurt.

As he knelt to check the man on the ground, he was hit on the back of his head and collapsed to the ground, out cold.

The girls watched what had happened and started to get out. “Stop, everybody, sit down, Dannas back this limo up,” Tabitha said; everyone looked at her; she looked out the front window and only saw the two guys. The one lying on the ground started to get up.

Dannas put the limo in reverse. He hit something, looked behind him, and saw another limo driving behind them. They were now blocked in.

From the right side of their limo came a tapping on the window. A man stood there and asked, “Ladies, get out of the limo.” He stepped away, and they saw he had a weapon.

“Dannas lay down on the floor and do not raise your head for any reason. Ladies, please remove your shoes before getting out!” Tabitha said. We will wait to see what they want. We know Tim will be OK,” She looked at each girl, “if it is trouble, we’ll do our best.” Sarha, “Please, send a shuttlecraft down now with four bots. Have it cloaked and land in the middle of the roadway.”

Tabitha opened the door and stepped out. The man pointed his weapon at her and motioned for her to move to the right, she obeyed, and the rest of the girls started to get out. Tabitha now saw nine men come out of the darkness.

One of the guys said, “I think our friend was right. These girls must be part of a royal family. We’ll hold them and should get a reasonable price for them. The girls looked at each other and moved a little further apart. Just a few inches at a time so the guys wouldn’t notice.

“What will we do with the old one?” The same guy said. Everyone turned to look at Madlyn, and Madlyn just stood there with a melancholy look.

“We’ll deal with her later. For now, let’s get these nice kitties into the limo.” Another guy said, and the men started to pair off for each girl.

Tabitha nodded her head, and the action started. Tabitha allowed her claws to come out. Her left hand came across her body and raked the face of the man on her right. He grabbed his face and dropped to the ground, screaming.

Simultaneously, she swung her right foot around and took out the man on her left kneecap. Now, with both men on their knees and their heads bent over with the backs of their necks exposed, she raked their necks with her claws, killing them both. Then she bent down to make sure they were dead; without seeing any movement, she looked around for another target.

At the same time, Tammy dropped her hands to her side, allowing her claws to come out. When she heard the first man scream, she twisted her wrist and pushed her clawed hands deep into the men groin. Both men were bent over, holding their groin; she jumped into the air and plunged a foot into each man’s throat, forcing the claws through their windpipe. Then, she did a backflip and landed on her feet. Finally, she was ready for the next person. Both of her men were now dead, lying at her feet.

Pauline was bracketed by the two men when they heard the shrieks. When the men turned to see where it came from, Pauline thought, ’what to turn into ... No, I need something sharp. Sword, yes, each hand and arm turn into a sword.’ She now thought of the sword. Both of her arms and hands start to vibrate and shimmer. They turned into two-foot-long swords.

The men lost track of Pauline for a second, so she bent her knees and collapsed to the ground. Her hands and arms were now long, sharp blades. She pushed the blades into each man’s belly from the front just above their belt and into their heart. Pulling her blades back out, she now thought, ’claws, changing the swords back to claws.’ When the vibration and shimmering stopped, she had her claws back. She moved toward Madlyn to see if she needed help dealing with her man.

Madlyn, a doctor, knew the points to hit on a man’s body. With only one man standing beside her, he turned and grabbed her right arm when everything started. With her left hand, she jammed her left index finger through his eye. When he let go, he placed both hands up to his face and was now screaming in agony. Next, she kneed him in the groin. While he was hunched over, she brought her knee up, and with her elbow coming down, both met on the guy’s head and broke his nose, which punctured his brain. She stopped to wipe the blood from her finger on her new dress.

“And I just bought this thing. I hope Sarha can clean it up.” Madlyn said.

The two men from the front limo came running, and the first man fired at Tammy, hitting her in the shoulder.

Two more men came out of the darkness. They came up behind Pauline and Madlyn and just stood there and saw everything happening. They wanted to help but didn’t know where to start.

Pauline stood beside Madlyn. Madlyn looked towards Pauline. She saw Pauline vibrate and shimmer. Madlyn stepped a little further away from Pauline to give her room.

Pauline thought, ‘need something bigger and stronger, remembering some of Sarha’s pictures. She then decided what she needed to go to.’ She just stood there thinking, ‘12-foot-tall gorilla’. Her body started vibrating and shimmering, and it only took three seconds to change into her new form.

Madlyn saw the vibrating and shimmering stop. She saw that Pauline was now a 12-foot-tall gorilla weighing about 1,300 lbs. The man standing next to her stood frozen for one second too long. She backhanded him, sending him into the air about 15 feet away. He was impaled on a tree stump through his chest. The other man tried to move to get away from Pauline. She turned, made a fist, and drove it into his chest, pushing him into their limo and crushing his ribs. She moved her hand away from his body, instantly dropping to the ground with no movement.

She then turned toward Tammy. Pauline started towards the man with the weapon. He only had time to pull the trigger once. Then, seeing what was coming at him, he fired, missing her since his hands were shaking. Her hand dropped to the top of his head and pushed his head straight down and into his chest. There was not much left of him. “Look, we have a headless man,” Pauline said.

Tabitha finished the two she started with and looked for Tammy and the others. She saw the two guys, one firing at Tammy, start toward them. The one with the weapon had a petrified look on his face. Tabitha looked to where he was looking, saw a 12-foot-tall gorilla, knew it must be Pauline, and smiled.

The other man turned to run. As he turned, he ran into Tabitha. She looked at him, shook her head, and did a roundhouse kick, claws out, and finished standing on her feet, the man’s head lying a few feet away, with a shocked look.

“Tammy, are you OK?” Tabitha asked.

“Thanks to Tim, I’ve stopped bleeding already, but it did hurt at first,” Tammy answered.

Pauline now took one of the limos in front and raised it, threw it towards the limo in the rear; just as three guys jumped into it and started to get away, both limos burst into flames and exploded.

Pauline looked around, saw it was over for now, and changed back into her feline form. “Going out and having a good time may ruin your new clothes.” She said, standing there naked.

Madlyn looked around. There were bodies all over the place, with only one limo left. Now that everything was quiet, the girls ran over to see how Tim was doing. Tim was starting to move a little but slowly.

“Did I miss much?” Tim asked, looking around, seeing one or two bodies, and there was one that looked like a pancake. “Was anyone hurt?”

“We are doing OK. These guys just wanted to kidnap us to get some credits from our family.” Tabitha said.
