Gerty ..... chapter 19.... in Things Previously Written

Just a taste right smack dab in the middle of a fairly long story I have been fabricating on the web.. Let me introduce you to me dear friend Gerty....

Melvin worried how much longer his legs could maintain his balance on the small reading table. With his hands tied and the cord around his neck remaining calm had been the first and last priority. Not killing himself still seemed important even if the crazy limo driver seemed bent on his eventually demise.
Melvin heard a car pull into the driveway. There was one small glimmer of hope someone other than his nemesis had found reason to stop by and check on him.

Dinner went smoothly and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and conversation. Charlotte was her usual quiet self. Gerty filled the air with conversation and compliments of the lovely dinner and the the Bergstein’s kindness. Fritz had arrived and begrudgingly joined dinner clearly uncomfortable with the merriment food and wine brought to the evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Bergstein doted over Gerty, happy Charlotte had shown moments of happiness. Seeing their daughter occasionally smile without someone suffering for it was a great improvement.

“So Gerty, promise us you will stay for a bit. You are just a peach and I know Charlotte would love to have you stay longer. Tell Gerty you wish her to stay dear.”

Charlotte thought she did want Gerty around but was uneasy agreeing with anything her parents requested. Gerty flashed a knowing smile.

“Yes Charlotte, do ask me to stay dear. Sometimes I am not so sure. “

Gerty gave her a joking wink for the entire table to see. Everyone but Fritz and Charlotte gave a laugh. Fritz never laughs and Charlotte felt embarrassed by the attention.

“Stay or go. It’s up to you Charlotte.”

Gerty stuck out her tongue at Charlotte and said,

“Well, just be that way you turd.”

Melvin listened closely as the car came to a stop in front of his home. He heard two car doors slam and prayed it was his brother coming to see why he has not come to dinner. There were no voices so a panic rose in his chest. Thought of dread overwhelmed his mind over any chance of escape. Without a knock the front door swung open and Melvin’s fears came to fruition when he heard Gerty say,

“Watcha doin Uncle Melvin.”

“So Charlotte, is there anywhere we could go out and dance and chase some fellas around? This is a fancy city you have here. I’d like to go see the sights.”

Charlotte was suspicious of anything Gerty wanted to do as nothing was as it seems with her.

“There’s places but are sure you want to go out?”

“I got this fancy dress and the night is young.

“ Fritzy will take care of us won’t cha?”

Fritz nodded and replied,

“Anywhere, anyplace Miss Gerty.”

“So there you have it! It’s a plan. I’ll grab my bag and it’s out the door. Mr. and Mrs. Bergstein you don’t mind if we desert you for a bit?”

“Oh no my child. You girls go out and have some fun.”

With those words Gerty got out of her chair and went over to Mrs. Bergstein and gave her a polite hug.

“You bet we will.”

Gerty and Charlotte piled into the back seat of the limo after Fritz dutifully held the door. Both girls looked lovely and dressed for a formal outing and not a trip to local watering hole. Gerty squealed with excitement as Fritz started the engine and pulled away from the house.

“This is going to be a glorious time Charlotte.”

She slid over and crowded Charlotte against the far arm rest. Gerty calmed for a moment and looked into Charlotte’s eyes and whispered,

“Tonight there is nothing to fear. This is a night for us. Only us. We are one in what we do and who we are.

Charlotte was surprised when Gerty leaned in and kissed her long and deep. Gerty slipped her tongue between Charlotte’s lips and brought her hand up under her dress searching for things previously left untouched. Charlotte sighed and became lost in the moment.

“It’s only us tonight.”
Gerty slid back a bit only to pull Charlotte back across and on top of her. She smiled closely and said,

‘It’s your move Charlotte.”

Charlotte realized the vehicle had come to a stop. Glancing around Charlotte realized they were parked in front of Uncle Melvin’s house.

“What are we doing here Gerty?”

“It’s only us tonight Charlotte.”

Fritz had come around and opened the door finding Charlotte still pulled on top of Gerty in her arms. Gerty gave her patented grin and said,

“Time for a little extracurricular activity. Everything peachy Fritzy?”

“Peachy indeed Miss Gerty.”

Gerty stepped into the main entryway with Fritz one step behind. Melvin continued to stand with his face against the wall with the cord around his neck and hands tightly bound. Charlotte brought up the rear puzzled and shocked to see her uncle hanging on the wall

“Watcha doin Uncle Melvin?”

Gerty slowly entered the home touching the pictures and furniture pieces seemly ignorant of the unusual circumstances of the moment. Finally she said,

Fritzy dear, could you be kind enough to get Uncle Melvin down to the floor. He looks uncomfortable.”

Fritz gave the slightest of nods and went up the stairs. Gerty turned on her heels and walked over to Charlotte and put her arms around her. Charlotte was surprised to feel Gerty slowly unzipping the back of her dress.

“We won’t be needing these for a bit Charlotte. Way to pretty of a dress to get dirty don’t you think?

The silkiness of the fabric made for the dress to easily fall to the floor.

“I think we really don’t need the rest either. I think it all has to go so we don’t have anything to explain or worry about later.

Gerty unsnapped Charlotte bra and slipped it down her arms and dropped it to the tile floor. Gerty quickly dropped her dress although there was nothing left to remove.

Once the slack was let out of the cord it was too much for the table which skirted left bringing Melvin down with a hearty thud. Melvin had his back to the girls so he was surprised to see Gerty completely naked and his niece down to her panties.

Fritzy could you get that sock out of Melvin’s mouth. He and I are going to have a chat. I’ll have my toys too.

Fritz was back down the stairs and slipped two blades from his inner coat jacket and gave them to Gerty. He then went over and tore the tape off Melvin’s mouth and removed the sock. Melvin gave a thunderous cough and gagged then threw up on the floor.

Well that won’t do Fritzy, could you pull him away from that? I don’t bodily fluids much. Maybe under the chandelier?”

Fritz grabbed Melvin’s collar and dragged him under the bright light in the center of the room. Melvin was mostly on his back except for his hands still tied behind him. Gerty came over and sat down on his chest straddling his neck.

“Uncle Melvin, it has come to my attention that you are very fond of young girls. I am a young girl. Are you fond of me? Maybe you are fonder of little Charlotte over there. Your little, little young oh so young niece Charlotte. The beloved daughter of your dearest brother and the adored child of her ….. fucking. Heartbroken. Mother!”

Gerty was seething the words as she ended her questions and eyes of daggers penetrated Melvin inner fears. He realized why he was in his situation and had no notion of how to escape this strange girls rage.

“Charlotte dear could you come here? Isn’t there something you would like to discuss with your uncle?

Charlotte had not moved from where her clothes had been dropped and was as shocked as Melvin.

Gerty, you don’t have to do this. It won’t change anything. And you will only get caught and taken away again. Please don’t let that happen.”

But Charlotte my dearest, it will change something.”

Gerty stood up and urinated in Melvin’s face.

“It will make Uncle Melvin wish he had never been born. Do you wish you had been born Uncle Melvin?

Melvin blinked repeatedly trying to get the urine out from his eyes and said,

No Gerty, I wish I never..”

“Shut-The Fuck-Up-You-Asshole. “

Gerty screamed at Melvin but quickly turned back to Charlotte and softy said,

It’s easy Charlotte. He deserves to die and surely he will. The only thing is today is his lucky day. He no longer has to be the putrid piece of shit that he is. See.”

Gerty turned back toward Melvin and dropped to her knees and slashed him across the face tearing one eye in two and exposing the cartilage of his nose.

“Let me make this a clear as I can Charlotte. Uncle Melvin will suffer and die. You will either part of the solution or become part of a problem.”

Fritz walked over to the door and stood guarding the exit.

“It’s your call my love.”
