Chapter 12: The Misses and the Ex
Alice May was a tall woman with a very Daphne like physique, skinny but strong. Platinum blond hair flowed a bit past her shoulders. She twirled two long knives in her hands. The black, leather jumpsuit and whip coiled at her hip completed the imposing visage. Marcie stared speechless.
"What's the matter sweetie? Did you get caught cheating?"
"You're supposed to be in prison."
"I'm on work release."
Shaggy gulped. "Yeah, like what kind of work?"
"Oh you know," she kept the knives spinning in her fingers as she circled the gang. "Murder, espionage, extortion, and once I got coffee for my boss but I wasn't setting a precedent or anything."
Alice moved just like Jekyll had in the video, seemingly going yards in a single step. She smacked Madelyn across the face with the hilt of her knife. When Shaggy tried to come to her aid she bashed his face against the desk. Both were knocked out cold. For Scooby it seemed she had come prepared with tranquilizers. One dart tossed into his flank and he was out as well. Marcie put herself in between Velma and Alice.
"Don't you dare come near her."
"Oh that's sweet" Alice sheathed her knives. "She's defending the little home wrecker."
"You and I are not a couple anymore Alice."
"But we can be. Bill offered you a job with us last year. Why didn't you take it? It could be you and me again, just like old times."
"The old times are over."
Alice grimaced and turned away. Marcie exhaled with relief but then Alice spun back around and hit her hard in the chest. She flew a good few yards and collided hard with the wall. Velma backed up against the control panel as Alice rounded on her.
"She'll come back to me once you're out of the way." Alice grabbed Velma by the throat and lifted her off the ground. She smiled as Velma choked for air. "Marcie and I have done things you can never do with her. We are meant to be together."
"Then…" Velma choked out. "Then why did she wake up with me this morning, instead of you?" Velma thrust her knee into Alice's stomach. The woman released her and she scrambled away.
Alice took out her whip and began cracking it in the air. "My boss wants you alive" she snarled. "He made no mention of what condition you should be in." She opened her mouth and a plume of flame shot out, missing Velma by inches. "So, will you come with me?"
Velma was on the verge of tears but she tried not to show it. She kept her expression stoney as she nodded and Alice kicked her, knocking her out cold.
