Chapter Six: Murphy
     
    Kate took a few seconds to make a cursory
check of the six members of Billy’s gang, and when she was
satisfied they were no longer a threat, she immediately went across
the clearing to release Jodie.
    “Are you all right, Jodie?” Kate asked, as
she gently lowered her to the ground and untied her wrists. “I’m
sorry I couldn’t come sooner, but I had to make sure they were all
too busy to notice me. I had to get them all, because if even
one…”
    “Don’t explain and don’t apologize, Kate. You
showed up in time, and that’s all that counts,” Jodie interrupted.
She started to dig her fingernails into the knotted rope around her
ankle, then glanced up to see Kate still kneeling at her side,
staring at her anxiously. She waved her hand in a shooing motion
and said, “I’m fine , Kate. Thank you for saving my life. Now
I need you to go help the others. That’s an order.”
    “Yes sir,” Kate said, reluctantly rising to
her feet, “I’ll go right now.”
    “And the second you make sure the girls are
all right, go look in the tent. Murphy’s in there, and I think he’s
in pretty bad shape. Do whatever you can for him, then report back
to me,” Jodie added.
    After a brief struggle, Jodie was able to
work the knot loose and remove the rope around her leg. She spent a
few seconds massaging life back into her foot before she stood up.
She intended to go check on her people, but she had forgotten how
badly Billy had beaten her up.
    As soon Jodie got to her feet, she was hit by
a wave of nausea and dizziness. Her head throbbed where Billy had
kicked her, and there was a stabbing pain in her side. She came
close to blacking out before she hastily sat back down. She stayed
on the ground for a while before attempting to rise again, and the
second time she rose much more slowly and cautiously, while holding
one hand pressed to her side.
    By then, the other girls had been set free by
Kate. Steph and Robin had their arms under Merry’s shoulders, and
were half-carrying, half-walking her to where Jodie waited.
    “What did that bastard do to you, Merry?”
Jodie asked anxiously.
    Merry smiled wanly. “I’ll be fine, Jodie. I
just turned my right ankle trying to dodge, while my late boyfriend
was waving that flaming branch around. I probably could walk on it,
if I had to.” She put a little weight on the right leg, winced, and
exclaimed, “ Oww ! Well, maybe not just yet.” She gallantly
failed to mention the burns, although the angry red patches on her
left thigh, abdomen and right shoulder must have been very
painful.
    Steph had sustained some bruises and a nasty
rope burn around her neck while being double-penetrated by the
Carson brothers, but she assured Jodie that other than these fairly
minor complaints and being somewhat sore, she was in good
condition. Jodie was relieved to learn that Charlie had done
nothing worse to her partner than what would have been considered
no more than a light workout by a veteran “Cadet Cunt” like
Robin.
    They squatted on the ground near the tent
where Billy had tossed the unconscious Dick Murphy. While they
waited for Kate to come back, Steph and Robin went into the empty
tent and brought out sleeping bags to cover their nakedness, as the
clothing of all the women except Kate had been destroyed by Billy’s
gang, and the nighttime air in the mountains was quite cool, even
in May. They were huddled together under the opened sleeping bags
quietly comparing their experiences with the hillbilly gang, when
Kate came out to report on Murphy’s condition.
    “It’s not good,” she said. “They hit him very
hard with something, and he has a serious blunt force trauma. I
would guess he has a fractured skull, a concussion and possibly a
cerebral hemorrhage. He’s still unconscious, which may be for the
best. My best guess is that if we don’t get him to a hospital
within the next twelve hours, it’ll be
