Spellbinder
Vs The Collector Part 4—The Climax&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paula McKenzie, being forcefully
pulled by the tight crotch-leash, couldn’t resist the Collector as he pulled
her into the dank dungeon without extreme pain between her legs. She was
so close to freedom to be caught by a “computer geek”—how humiliating.
She was dragged over to a steel exam table where several henchmen held
her down as they removed the straps holding down her naked body. The henchmen’s
hands were everywhere—brushing and squeezing her breasts, inner thighs,
and crotch. Paula struggled for all she was worth but the hands were too
strong. They were slipping her legs into something very tight. She looked
down to see some type of latex body suit being pulled up her body. The
material felt very thin but strong.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Spellbinder vs The Collector</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/spellbinder-vs-the-collector/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/spellbinder-vs-the-collector/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="spellbinder.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spellbinder vs The Collector&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spellbinder vs.
The Collector&lt;/strong&gt;
Part 2  The
Collector’s Revenge—The Trap&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After his defeat to Spellbinder, the Collector had to lay low for six
months&amp;ndash; plenty of time to plan his revenge.  He had set his traps&amp;ndash;
his hand playing with the microwave remote controller.  All he needed
was the proper bait.  Spellbinder had destroyed his reputation of
never failing, the mob was after him and his money reserves were almost
completely drained.  This had to be a precise operation, three quick
abductions to re-establish his reputation and his cash reserves and get
Spellbinder.  He had to execute his plan quickly and effectively before
word of his return reached the “mob.” 
The Collector pushed the first button on his remote.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Spellbinder vs The Collector</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/spellbinder-vs-the-collector/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/spellbinder-vs-the-collector/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spellbinder vs.
The Collector&lt;/strong&gt;
Part One&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kelsie Chambers, star reporter for the Tribune, was putting the finishing
touches on her latest story on Spellbinder.  Spellbinder had captured
the biggest drug shipment ever to enter Capital City and sent the city&amp;rsquo;s
Mafia groups running.  Her assistant comes rushing into the office,
&amp;ldquo;Have you heard?  The Collector is back in town.&amp;rdquo; Kelsie stops typing
and looks up, &amp;ldquo;The Collector huh.  A high profile kidnapper to the
highest bidder.  No one knows who he is or how he gets his victims. 
I heard from my sources in the FBI that every agent sent after him never
comes back.  They even set-up a sting with their best looking female
operative, put her into the city&amp;rsquo;s club scene, built her up as the next
upcoming supermodel/actress.  Surrounded her with the best security,
tracking devices and 24 hour surveillance and the Collector still got her&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Spellbinder vs. the Collector - Part 3</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/spellbinder-vs.-the-collector-part-3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/spellbinder-vs.-the-collector-part-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;(story continues from &lt;a href="spellbinder2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spellbinder vs The Collector&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

Part 3

illustration by Don&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paula McKenzie, ex-CIA and
ex-navy-seal, floated listlessly in the inky black water on a moonless
night, invisible to the naked eye. Now a private investigator hired by
the Mayor of Central City to stop the Collector and recover the missing
supermodels and Spellbinder. Paula, floating 200 yards out in Central Bay,
pointed a sophisticated infrared scope at the private pier of exclusive
import-export company of Blue Horizons, a company that specialize in cutting
edge high tech and medical supplies. Paula’s contacts suspected the pier
as the Collector’s hideout. A complicated array of microcomputers was mapping
out the layout of the warehouse and proving her contacts right was several
secret floors below the water level of the pier. 
Paula studied the layout,
only one-way in and out and security looked tough.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Vengeful Spirits</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/vengeful-spirits/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/vengeful-spirits/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The powerful private women club simply called Harmony Association had
its usual monthly meeting at their leader&amp;rsquo;s posh apartment.  The order
of business was to kick out one of their own.  Cassandra Chambers
has been accused of embarrassing the group with ranting of witchcraft and
revenge when treated unfairly in a job dispute.  The leader of the
group, Alexandra Burke, led the crusade to expel Cassandra, taking the
embarrassment personally and a bad reflection on the group&amp;rsquo;s professional
image.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
