Lona winced with pain as she headed into the female physicians'
showers, going over to a locker, slowly and rather painfully shedding her clothing. She turned slightly as she moved in front of one of the dressing mirrors trying to observe the extent of the damage to her backside. She should have definitely known better than to grab that coffee when she saw the nuts down in the cafeteria using a welding torch to heat it up. The area was definitely red but with a soft sigh, she saw that there were no blisters, anyway. She reached into the locker, snagging a towel before heading for the shower hot tub. Maybe a soak would make her feel better.
She had to do something soon. She had those stupid reports to finish and she couldn't do them like this, not when she couldn't sit down without screaming!

Lona sighed once more as she slipped into the water. For some reason, the temperature of the hot tub in there never got too warm, a definite plus at the moment. She slowly lowered herself down, slipping shoulder deep into the water as she eased down on her burn. Okay, still a bit painful but not as bad. She would just stay in here and soak until she was feeling better. She closed her eyes and leaned back, letting the jets of water gently massage her. Yes, she would definitely be soaking in here for awhile.

Paul slipped through the wall, unseen by Lona. When he caught sight of the blonde head leaning back, resting on the edge of the tub, he smirked. He wasn't sure exactly which blonde it was but he knew he could have some fun either way. He edged closer, his smirk growing when he saw that the blonde in question was the one that the loser liked so much. Not only would he get to see that freak lose it when he found out that something had happened to her, but Paul knew that Mary needed Lona to help her with trying to prevent the earthquake.

"See if she can help you after I get finished with her, brat"
Paul muttered as he moved to the hot tub. First he was going to scare her a bit, though. His hands dipped into the water, clouds of steam rising up as the tub started to rapidly cool.

Lona shivered as she felt the temperature change. Just great. The thermostat for the hot tub must have given up the ghost completely and of course she knew that there wasn't a chance that she was going to be able to get Johnny down there to take a look at it any time soon. Se reluctantly opened her eyes and started to stand. Maybe she could give the showers a try instead.

Suddenly, there were hands pushing her back into a seated position,
causing Lona to gasp with surprise.

Paul let out a slight laugh as he pushed Lona down. His hands were moving lower now, starting to touch her more intimately, stroking her breasts with a hard touch as his pleasure started to increase.

Lona let out a scream as she felt the hands on her breasts, the touch painful on the sensitive skin. She reached down, trying to push them away but there was nothing there. Suddenly, before she could react, she felt herself being lifted up, half out of the water, the touch on her body starting to go lower as she kicked, trying to force whatever this was away from her.

"Paul! Leave her alone! What are you doing?" Mary screamed as she came running in through the wall. She reached out, knowing that she just wasn't strong enough to stop Paul but trying her best anyway. She grabbed at his arms, trying to pull him away for a second, to give Lona a chance to escape.

"Keep out of my way, brat!" Paul yelled, throwing the little girl off of him and sending her crashing back against the bank of lockers. His smirk grew when he heard he sniffle in pain. Then he started to frown as he realized the little pest being here would mean that that giant furry babysitter of hers would be along soon as well. Better finish this off quickly. He could always go down to the morgue later and do some other stuff if he decided to. He had a feeling that's what the loser would be doing once he got the news.

Lona was in a daze at this point. Whatever had been holding her had loosened its grip and she knew she should take the opportunity to flee but the cold of the water and the shock of the attack were combining to sap her strength totally. Before she had time to force herself into motion somehow, the grip tightened once more and Lona suddenly felt her head being plunged under water, hard, cruel fingers pressing firmly down on her neck and shoulders.

"Paul, no!" Mary screamed as she saw what he was doing. "Antubis!
Antubis!" She pulled herself to her feet and hurried over, grabbing at Paul again and trying to pull him back, to make him let Dr. Lona go.

Lona tried to hold her breath but that was rapidly becoming impossible, bright lights starting to flash in front of her eyes,
increasing in intensity as more time passed without oxygen. She felt a black void opening up in front of her, felt herself starting to slid down.
It was the female showers, though, she suddenly found herself thinking. At least that meant that Elmer wouldn't be the one to stumble on her body.
Then the blackness took her completely and she knew no more.

Paul looked up as he heard the familiar roar and saw the large anteater rushing through the wall, his teeth bared. "Too late, pest"
Paul said as he stood, letting Lona slump down into the water so that she was floating face down. Mary fell to her knees beside the tub, reaching out for Lona as Paul smirked. "Be seeing you."

'Mary, what happened?' Antubis asked gently as he moved to the little girl's side, his long tongue snaking out to lick at her face, easing the pain from where Paul had thrown her.

"He had Dr. Lona and I think he was going to do something really bad to her." Mary whispered as she started to softly sob. A boy had done something bad like that to one of the mill girls once and she had never been right afterwards. Maybe it was okay that she hadn't saved Dr. Lona if it meant that she would be spared that. "Then he held her under the water and I couldn't stop him." The green mist was starting to appear now as he sobs increased. "He killed her!"
