Harold and Mary
Like Chief Beatcom, Harold and Mary are characters from a JatGP fic. I crated them myself as minor villains and I relish the idea of them meeting our favorite RHPS characters. They are in for it!
Chief Beatcom was willing to leave Kayla and her companions alone. He told his officers that Kayla, young though she was, was still a legal adult and after speaking with ted Dalson, Chief Beatcom believed that she was better off with the strange Dr. Frank N. Furter. The other officers just shrugged and let the matter drop. Unfortunately, two people decided to pick it right back up again.
Harold and Mary Williamson were middle-aged childless social climbers who, despite their considerable wealth, were not exactly welcome amongst the elite. Harold was quite fat and pompous while Mary was a shriveled bird-like woman with icy eyes. Both were firm believers in discipline and tended to look down on people they viewed as weak when it came to the younger generation. In short, they were stubborn, snobbish, and often quite cruel.
Despite living in England, the couple had kept up with the case of Kayla Dalson and, of course, assumed she had run off.
"Kidnappers want money fast," Harold had said a few weeks after Kayla's disappearance. "No phone call, no note, no doubt about it. That girl ran off, probably with some boy." Mary agreed.
"No girl with the home life of the Dalsons is truly safe from kidnappers, but Kayla should know better than to mingle with those below them. That Kayla, in my opinion, never learned that lesson so if she's without a comfortable home now, serve her right."
However, gossip runs quickly in small groups and the rich community is quite small compared to the majority of the population. Kayla's current situation was found out quite quickly.
Susan Dalson mentioned her eldest daughter to her best friend Angela, who promptly told another friend, Macy Perkins. Macy soon left with her husband for a vacation in England. Once there, the couple attended a dinner party where Harold and Mary had managed to secure an invitation. Macy, who was a tad tipsy, mentioned during the main course that Kayla Dalson had indeed been found.
"From what I heard," Macy giggled holding her fifth glass of wine, "the girl is in New York City right now, vacationing with a group of people!"
At these words, Harold and Mary exchanged looks. On the way home that night, the couple discussed the matter. True, Ted Dalson had stopped searching for his daughter more than a month ago, but now that she had been spotted, there was no reason in not taking her back, was there?
"Think of what the papers will say, Mary. 'Missing Girl Returned to Family!' Where the police failed to act, we will be the ones to bring Kayla Dalson home. The gratitude we'll get from the Dalson family!"
"Yes, dear. Everyone will want to talk with us. We already have fortune, why not go for fame?"
"Why not indeed. Not to mention a chance to give little miss Kayla a lesson in respect for her status."
"And what of this Dr. Frank Furter, Harold?"
"You leave him to me, Mary. I can handle him!'
Oh, Harold, you idiot, you.
