Seeking Revenge

Samantha (Sam) and Barry had known each other since they went to primary school. They grew up together, shared each other’s worries and fears, and eventually got married. But things got no better. Money was tight and they could not afford to buy a house or have kids. James had a low paid job and his esteem went out of the window when he saw all the flash cars and houses his old school chums had. Sam only had low paid jobs. None of them lasted for long. By the time she was twenty, she had already got through twenty five jobs. But none of them lasted long and that was never her fault. Shops moved and factories closed. Sam had plenty to aim for. She was never given the chance to improve herself. Barry got in with the wrong crowd and eventually finished up doing a robbery. In all three quarters of a million pounds was taken. That had to be shared by six people. The police eventually started hauling them in and James had the foresight to grab the cash and stash it somewhere safe. Eventually he too was caught. But they never found the money. All of the thieves were given between ten to fifteen years each. Barry, as a lesser member of the gang, only got ten years. The police had been watching the rest of the gang as they knew them of old. Barry said he had no idea where the money was and because the money was not found, he got the ten years. With time off for good behaviour, he was out in seven years. Sam met him at the prison gates. She had found another part time job that would only last another year, but it paid well and gave her the use of a company van. A few months later Sam found out that Barry had been seeing other women in the prison. But as he couldn’t do anything there, she was safe. Until she found out that Barry had been seeing the women before the robbery and again after he came out of prison. Rosie was furious. But she bit her tongue. If he was to run off with other women, she wanted her share of the money. Eventually they spoke about the money. James told her where he hid it. “I found a deep cave near the sea. It took me some time, but I cover the stash with rocks so if anyone looked into the cave they will think it was a rock fall and would never think there was all that money under it. Some of the rocks were large and heavy. I had to use a crowbar to get the rocks in place”. But he wouldn’t tell her where the cave was. About a year after he came out he told Rosie he was going to get the money. But he needed to let people think he had left the country. Sam lent him the money to get a fake passport. He bought his own official one and told Rosie he was off to Russia for two weeks. He would make sure he was seen there and slip back on the fake passport. Sam said she thought it was a good idea. She offered to pick him up from the airport, but Barry told her not to. “They might see me and you on the CCTV and put two and two together”. He needed her van so told her to meet him at the Alexander Palace. He would stay in a bed and breakfast place until they were ready to shift off to another country. Sam was suspicious. Barry flew out to Russia. He never realised Sam was watching him go through the security gates with one of the women he had been seeing. She was a good five years younger than Rosie. What was worse, she was a lot more attractive. That did it. Sam needed to get revenge. She thought about turning him in, but that would delete the chance of getting her hands on the money. She needed a way to get the money and get take James out of her life. She had two weeks at least to think about it. Little did she know at the time, Barry would need her van to shift the cash. When she found out he needed her, she quickly hatched a plot. Barry returned a month later. She met him at Alexander Palace as agreed. But all the time they were talking, Sam thought of nothing but the money and the women he had been unfaithful with. Another thing that cropped up on her mind was, did that woman who he took to Russia come home or was she waiting there for him? They spoke about retrieving the money and Barry said he would call round to their place when it got dark. Sam’s mind was going flat out. Whatever she decided to do, she had to find out what happened to the woman in Russia. Sam deserved her revenge on her as well. “Does anyone know you have left Russia?” Barry told her that he had been to the British Embassy just before leaving so they would think he was still there. He had returned via Latvia and Stansted Airport using his fake passport. He had gone out from Heathrow on his real one. That night, Barry turned up and Sam went flat out to make him exhausted. They had sex for hours on and off. Eventually, Barry fell into a deep sleep. Sam waited until he was snoring and climbed out of bed. The first thing she did was to check his mobile phone. He had been speaking to the girl in Russia after they had been talking. She knew that as the phone number displayed was not a British number and text messages showed “I love you. It’s cold here in Moscow. Hurry back and warm me up. Love you. Susan XXXXX”. That settled it. Barry had to go. Barry cleared off early the next morning after telling Sam he wanted to get the money in two days time. Sam could not wait. All she had to do was sit back and let James take her to the cash. Two days later, a Saturday where Rosie did not have to work, Barry phoned her. “Pick me up in the van. Then be ready to hand your notice in. We are off to warmer climes girl” He gave her the address where to pick him up. Sam was there on time. Bary was waiting. He had a crowbar with him. Rosie was worried in case he thought about hitting her with it. Barry took Sam to a deserted beach in Cornwall. “I hid the cash in a cave and covered it with large rocks, so if anyone looks in, it looks like there has been a rock fall. In fact there is enough space to put our lounge in” Barry wandered up and down the beach looking up at all the possible places to hide it. It took him twenty minutes to find the right place. “See those two gorse bushes? Behind them is the cave”. Barry said he had better get the crowbar. Sam went with him and picked up her large bag. “What do you want that for?” Sam told him she felt naked without it. Besides if anyone saw them, if she had her bag, they wouldn’t think anything was suspicious. Barry thought about it, but was not in the mood for arguments at this time. He wasn’t even suspicious at the latex gloves she was wearing. “Probably wants to save her nails” he thought. They climbed up to the gorse bushes and Barry pulled them to one side. The pair of them climbed into the cave. The gorse bushes sprung back covering the entrance once more. The pair crawled on their hands and knees to the back of the cave. Sam saw all the rocks lying around. Barry was right. It did look like there had been a rock fall. Barry set up some camping lights and started to move the rocks. It took some time before he had cleared a large enough hole for him to crawl through. There in front of him was three quarters of a million pounds. He handed the bags of cash through the hole to Sam who placed them at the side of the cave. Once he handed the last bag out, he started to crawl through the hole himself. That is when Sam took a cosh from her bag and hit Barry hard on the head. He went out like a light and slid back into the cavity behind the rocks. Sam grabbed one of the camping lamps and crawled through the hole herself. Working quickly, she pulled him into the middle of the space, stripped him naked and folded all his clothes neatly. Not too neatly so anyone would realise a woman had folded them, but just neat enough for people to think Barry had done it himself. She pulled him into the middle of the cavity and rolled him onto his stomach. Taking some handcuff from her bag she cuffed his hands behind his back. Even if He woke up, he would not be able to escape from the cave. Sam ran off to her van taking one of the five bags of cash with her to get to get

a length of chain and some padlocks. By the time she returned, Barry was awake and sitting up against the rock at the back of the wall. “Oh, so we are back in the land of the living then” Barry asked what she was doing. “I have had enough of your philandering. I’m putting a stop to it now” She took a ball gag from her bag and shoved it into his mouth strapping it tightly behind his head. Her next course of action was to pull him to the middle of the space and shove him onto his stomach once more. Quickly she wrapped some chain around his ankles holding them firmly together. She laid out the rest of the chain so that it could reach the wall. Barry found he lacked the strength to stop her as she forced his legs up and locked his ankle to his wrists. Barry discovered this hogtie uncomfortable. “I won’t be long” Sam said as she climbed through the hole in the rocks once more. This time she returned with a crowbar. She pulled the chain tight and levered a heavy rock into place just a couple of feet from his ankles. The rest of the chain between the large rock and the end was snaked, and she placed another rock on it. “There that’s done. Now if anyone does find you, it will look as though you were doing a kinky sex session with yourself. You had the chain under the far rock; the snaked chain will make them think that you would have had enough chain to get to your keys, but this big one fell on it trapping the chain underneath so you couldn’t reach the keys and release yourself” She spread the dust around once more to make it look like only Barry had been there and said “One final thing Barry. Here are your key pieces. Good luck if you can escape, but somehow I don’t think you will be able to. I’ll leave the lamp here so you have a chance to see your keys to freedom. I’ll leave enough space between the rocks to give you plenty of fresh air, you kinky thing. That will give you some time to ponder your misdeeds” With that she placed the key items on the floor about a foot from Barry’s face. “I was going to leave the keys at the top of the rocks, but I thought that if you had chained yourself up like that, you wouldn’t have been able to reach them. The beauty of this is that no one will know you are here. As for Susan, I notice you had her passport with you. So she is stuck in Russia until they can get her a new passport. It will be some time before she realises you are not going back for her. Come to think of it, you aren’t going anywhere really, are you? Of course you aren’t. I bet you are wishing you were back in prison now don’t you. I know you were disappointed by my excess weight gain, but that makes it easier for me. No one misses a large girl. All I have to do is move and lose weight” She laughed at Barry’s squirming and trying to scream through the gag. “To help you make it, you could try shagging the floor. Do you want me to position it so it’s easier for you to have a final thrill? No, oh well I did offer” Sam picked up the crowbar, climbed up to the hole and disappeared through it. Sam rolled on his side to see her looking at him. Sam laughed at his erect penis. “That will be of no use to you now. I did offer to let you use it on the floor” Her head disappeared and he saw a rock take its place. He heard several rocks being moved, the sound getting softer and softer. Sam took all the bags to her car and drove home again. By the time she got back into the cave at home, the camping lamp battery had started to die. Its bulb was becoming dimmer and dimmer. Eventually it went out. Over the next few weeks, Sam opened up several bank accounts under different names. She paid someone well to forge bills in her fake names but with her address. She handed in her notice and began putting money into those accounts. When she was ready, she flew to Morocco and opened a bank account there. Back home she transferred cash over months to her Moroccan account and closed her British ones. Sam closed the door on their dwelling and headed off to the airport.
