I am Baaack! Part 7

Ed turned quickly, and moved toward the living room. "Lou, it's a guy! Watch out!"

'All Right!' thought Barbara, as she swiftly moved around G.A., who prudently moved to get out of her way. She pirouetted and kicked Ed's feet out from under her, then did a leap over her as she collapsed to the ground. When she looked up, Ed found she was looking straight down the barrel of the Webley-Vickers. "Hello, Edwina, nice to see you again," said Joyce, with a wicked grin on her face.

Landing on the other side of Ed, Barbara spun on her left foot around the corner of the entrance way and into the living room, drawing her throwing knife as she did so. Lou was rising from a crouch, pulling a gun from under the sofa cushions, and swinging its barrel toward her. Barbara threw the knife, and it pierced Lou's wrist, causing her to drop the gun to the floor without firing it.

At the same time, Robbie, having stripped for action, dove out of the den doorway behind her in just her bra, panties, garter belt, and hose, did a shoulder roll, and kicked Lou's legs out from under her. Lou was left with the full weight of her torso hanging from her arm, her wrist impaled and stuck to the cabinet of the entertainment center by Barbara's knife.

The knife was a special one, picked just for this possibility. It was more like an ice pick than a cutting knife, so it just held Lou there, and there was very little blood. Sometimes, when the mood struck her, Barbara COULD see the humor in her name. The handle of the knife was pink, and had the famous doll's name and picture on it. It was NOT an official Mattel accessory.

Lou only had time for the barest beginning of a scream, because Robbie finished her roll by grabbing a doily off the coffee table and stuffing it in her mouth.

A second later, Barbara reached Lou, pulled the knife out of the wall, leaving her wrist impaled, and grabbed her right shoulder. Robbie grabbed her left shoulder, and the two hoisted her into a sitting position on the couch. Barbara gave Robbie the once over: "Well, don't you look adorable, Little Miss Easy."
