TOMB HUNTER

The Adventures of Larra Court

Episode 8

Larra and the Aryan Nightmare

 

Chapter 6  Return to the Sahara

 

Larra screamed as Featherstone thrust into her.  His phallus was impossibly huge, penetrating to the farthest depths of her womb.  With every thrust of the vile English spy’s hips her belly bulged as the tip of his immense manhood prodded against her stomach from the inside.  Featherstone grinned his cruel and sardonic grin and grabbed her breasts.  His hands were huge and powerful.  They crushed her soft breasts, the flesh bugling out between his fingers in quivering ridges. 

 

“Haa haa haa,” Featherstone laughed.  “Enjoying yourself, Miss Court?  Try this for size.”

 

“Aaahhh!”  Larra shrieked.  She was being ripped apart.  As she watched, horrified, Featherstone’s enormous organ ripped open her belly tearing a bloody hole in her abdomen.  She screamed again her voice rising in pitch until her vocal cords ruptured.

 

“Larra! Larra!”  Melissa’s voice percolated through the red haze of agony.  She opened her eyes.  Melissa was kneeling next to her.  In the background the engines of the JU 52 droned on. 

 

Larra shook herself awake.  She was covered in sweat.  “You were dreaming,” Melissa said.  “I thought I should wake you.” 

 

“Thanks,” Larra said.  She pushed herself off the pile of gear she had slept on.  She was stiff and sore.  She had never had a dream like that before.  She was going to have to do something about Featherstone. 

 

“I’m alright,” she said to Melissa.  “I better go sit with Katie.”  She headed toward the front of the aircraft.  Entering, she tapped Jia Li on the shoulder.  “You rest now.  I’ll take over.”  The oriental girl nodded and got out of the seat allowing Larra to take her place. 

 

“You too,” Larra said to Katie.  “I can watch the controls.  Just give me the heading.”

 

“Keep her as she is,” the blonde replied.  “I’m flying low.  I think that will make us harder to spot and help when we finally reach land.  We can just follow the coast to Cairo.”

 

“Right,” Larra replied.  She settled in at the controls.  A few minutes later she was joined by Melissa. 

 

“I’ll just keep you company,” the girl said.  Larra smiled in reply.  She was feeling a bit better now.  The sleep had helped in spite of the nightmare. 

 

For awhile she and Melissa just chatted.  Then Larra’s eyes narrowed.  “You better wake Katie,” she said. 

 

“Sure thing,” Melissa replied, slipping gracefully from the copilot’s seat.  A few seconds later she was back with Katie.

 

The buxom blonde wiped the sleep[ from her eyes.  “What’s up?”

 

Larra pointed through the window of the cockpit.  “That,” she said.  “I think it’s what got us into trouble the first time.”

 

“Another sandstorm,” said Katie.  “We’ll have to try and go around it.”

 

“Why not over?” asked Larra.

 

“If we have to,” said Katie.  “This plane should be able to get high enough, but that didn’t work all that well last time.”

 

“Do we have enough fuel for all that maneuvering?”

 

“We should have.  We’re only flying one way after all.”

 

Larra frowned.  The Sahara only seemed to have two sorts of weather.  Burning hot and sandstorm.  But they didn’t have much choice.  They would just have to try and avoid the storm.

 

 

“Shit,” thought Katie.  “This is just like the last time.”  Outside the powerful winds of the desert storm buffeted the aircraft.  They were at maximum elevation, but had still not managed to completely clear the storm.  Almost certainly sand particles were being sucked into the engines.  They were well into the storm now.  At first she had tried to fly around it, by heading east, but she soon abandoned that for two reasons.  One was that they were flying directly toward Italian-held territory.  The second was the storm was coming from that direction and the headwind they were forced to fly into made it almost impossible to make any headway.  Sooner or later the aircraft would simply run out of fuel. 

 

They were now headed southeast, the sandstorm winds pushing them along.  They were headed toward the same area that they had visited on their first flight.  Katie thought of the airstrip the Italians had constructed.  By incredible luck they might be able to find it.  If not, then she would just have to bring it down in the desert. 

 

She had tried making contact by radio with only limited success.  The British radio operator she had managed to reach insisted on being given the correct codeword before accepting her message.  Then the storm had interfered with further communication before she had been able to convince him to ignore protocol in favour of common sense.

 

“Asshole,” she muttered as she replaced the microphone.  “We’re just going to have to muddle through and hope for the best.”

 

 

Schallenberger struggled with the cuffs that locked her to the fuselage.  Preoccupied with the storm, the redheaded girl that was supposed to be watching her wasn’t paying much attention.  However, it didn’t seem to really matter.  She couldn’t get the cuffs loose.  She really wasn’t much of a locksmith. 

 

Von Stumpel was next to her, his right hand manacled to the fuselage in the same way that she was.  He too had noticed that Amy was not watching them closely.  He leaned toward her and reached toward her hair. 

 

“Herr Doktor,” she exclaimed.  “Not at a time like this.”

 

“Be quiet you Aryan idiot.  I need one of your hairpins.” 

 

Schallenberger closed her mouth, her lower lip thrust out.  That hardly seemed to suitable thing to say to such a prime specimen of the Nordic race.  She watched with interest as von Stumpel worked the hairpin into the lock mechanism.  In a few minutes there was a satisfying “click” and the cuff opened.  Von Stumpel was free.  He did not bother with Schallenberger.  Just a few feet away was one of the submachine guns.  The redheaded girl was still looking toward the front of the aircraft.  One stride and he had the weapon in his hands.

 

“Don’t move,” he ordered, training the weapon on the three women. 

 

Jia Li froze.  She was the length of the compartment away from von Stumpel and Amy and Melissa were between her and the doctor.  She couldn’t do anything without endangering her companions.  Melissa and Amy did the same.  Neither dared act.  It would have been almost impossible for either of them to have reached von Stumpel before he got off a few rounds, and at the distance he was from them he could hardly have missed. 

 

“Toss the key to the cuffs to Fraulein Schallenberger,” von Stumpel ordered. 

 

Reluctantly Amy complied.  She cursed herself for not keeping a closer eye on the captives.  In a few seconds Schallenberger had removed the cuffs and was free.

 

“Now, on the floor and move quickly,” von Stumpel ordered, gesturing with the submachine gun.  “Gertie, secure them.”

 

Schallenberger waited until all of the women were lying on the floor of the plane with their hands on their heads before moving.  She used the two sets of handcuffs that had been used on her and von Stumpel to handcuff the women together.  Jia Li was in the centre with Amy linked to her right arm and Melissa to her left.  Then she used a short length of cord to tie Melissa to Amy.  She finished by wrapping another length of rope about the necks of all three women, pulling them together so tightly that they could hardly breathe. 


Excellent,” von Stumpel said.  “Now to deal with
Miss Court and her companion.”  He moved toward the front of the plane, leaving Schallenberger to watch the prisoners. 

 

 

Von Stumpel’s arrival in the cockpit stunned both Larra and Katie.  What the hell was he doing loose?  But there wasn’t much they could do about it.  “Turn the plane around,” the Nazi doctor ordered.

 

“No,” Katie said.  “I can’t do that.”

 

“Do it or I’ll shoot Miss Court.”

 

“Do you really want me to, you fool?” Katie calmly replied.  “We’re past the point of no return.  We’ve used up more than half our fuel.”

 

“Then head for Italy,” von Stumpel demanded.  “You should have enough fuel for that.”

 

“In case you haven’t noticed,” Larra interrupted, “we’re in the middle of a sandstorm.  There isn’t any safe direction we can fly.”

 

“Then set us down in Tobruk or Benghazi,” von Stumpel countered. 

 

“Certainly,” Katie agreed calmly.  “Please be so kind as to show me which way to go to reach either of those places.”

 

“You mean you schlampen  are lost?” 

 

“We’re trying to fly out of this storm,” said Katie.  “If you want to live, you’d best let us do it.”

 

“Scheisse!” von Stumpel cursed.  He almost considered shooting the half breed bitch in front of him, but one look out the windshield of the airplane told him they were telling the truth.  They were flying over and through an immense cloud of dust.  Helpless to do anything about the situation he stood watching the storm. 

 

“Don’t try anything stupid,” he warned.  “My assistant has the other three at gunpoint and she will shoot if anything happens to me.”

 

“Don’t worry,” replied Katie.  “I’m too busy trying to survive to do anything like that.”

 

Von Stumpel continued to keep an eye on the situation as the plane fought its way through the storm.  He noted that the aircraft was headed generally south-southwest, but didn’t comment on it.  The two women did not appear to be trying to fly him into British held territory.  An hour later he breathed a sigh of relief as the plane left the storm behind.

 

“Now,” he ordered.  “Fly to the nearest Italian base.”

 

“Certainly,” Katie responded cheerfully.  “Just give me the bearing and I’ll head right for it, but it better be close we’ve only got fuel for another half hour at the most.”

 

“Blöde fotze,” von Stumpel replied.  He was getting tired of the insolence of the impertinent blonde.  But he couldn’t do anything to her.  He needed her to fly the plane.  He was standing about a metre from the half-breed archeologist.  He pointed his Schmeiser at Larra’s head.  “Enough of this.  Put the plane down safely or I’ll blow out the brains of your leader.”

 

“That’s hardly a threat,” replied Katie, seemingly unphased by the threat.  “If I don’t land the soon the plane will land itself.  You better be sure that I’m not too distracted or angry to do a good job.  And just in case you are interested, Larra is the only other person who can fly this thing.”

 

Von Stumpel was impressed by the cool demeanor of the blonde beauty.  “Good Aryan stock,” he thought.  “What great breeding material she would make!”  He wondered if she might not already be pregnant.  She had certainly been serviced enough. 

 

At that point Schallenberger appeared.  “Herr Docktor,” she said.  “What is happening?”

 

Von Stumpel explained the situation. 

 

Schallenberger paled a little and swallowed.  Without a word she returned to the back of the aircraft.  Von Stumpel allowed himself a small smile.  “Not as tough as she thinks she is,” he thought.

 

Returning to the fuselage Schallenberger looked around for a way to protect herself in the case of a crash.  Her three captives were where she had left them.  During the time von Stumpel had spent in the cockpit she had amused herself by making her prisoners ever more secure.  She had found a good supply of strapping in the aircraft and had wrapped numerous lengths of it around each of the three women, pinioning their arms and legs to the point where any chance of escape would be almost impossible.  Three pairs of eyes glared at her when she returned.

 

“Better make yourselves comfortable,” she said calmly, feigning a nonchalance she did not feel.  “We’re in for a rough landing.”  Moving to the bulkhead separating the rear of the plane from the cockpit she settled herself down among a bunch of duffle bags and waited.

 

Amy, Jia Li, and Melissa lay helplessly on the floor of the plane.  There was no way that they could possible protect themselves.  They could only lie helplessly and hope that Katie was able to land the plane as smoothly as possible.

 

In the cockpit, von Stumpel strapped himself into the navigator’s seat.  He could watch the two women at the controls quite well from there and he had made sure that they had strapped themselves in securely before taking his seat.  If they tried any funny business it would take them a few moments to unbuckle themselves. 

 

Katie and Larra were solidly focused on landing the plane.  Dealing with von Stumpel would have to wait until they were safely down.  They had only a few minutes of fuel left now and were desperately scanning the desert landscape for a suitable landing site.  They were flying over a region of dunes.  They knew from bitter experience that despite their seemingly gentle appearance the massive accumulations of sand were far from ideal landing places.  They needed an opening in the unbroken sea of sand.

 

“There,” Larra said.  Her sharp eyes had spotted something.  Far ahead was a faint pinpoint of green, shimmering in the desert heat. 

 

Katie nodded.  With a slight movement at the controls she headed the aircraft in the direction Larra had indicated.  A few minutes later they swept over a small oasis.  It was not the choice either of them would have made, but it offered a tiny area of flat land that might just work. 

 

“I don’t think we’ll find a better spot,” said Katie.  “And it has water.”

 

“Then let’s do it,” Larra replied.  They were out of time.  Or rather out of fuel.  There was no point in crash landing in the desert if they could find a suitable landing area, and the JU 52 with its ability to land on short runways, was an accidental perfect choice. 

 

Katie’s comment also highlighted another problem.  The plane had no food or water.  The oasis had promise of both.  Katie maneuvered the plane into the wind and headed toward the oasis.  She flew over it low and slow, scouting out the potential landing area and then turned the plane in a complete circle.  “OK, here goes.”  The ground looked even enough, but she knew it could hide all sorts of irregularities that could result in disaster. 

 

Von Stumpel watched anxiously as Katie headed toward the ground.  In the back of the plane the other passengers waited in trepidation as Katie throttled back, and then they were down. 

 

It wasn’t as smooth a landing as Katie would have liked.  The plane touched the uneven surface and promptly bounced thirty feet back into he air.  In the back of the plane, the three bound women were hurled the length of the passenger compartment, just missing Schallenberger who had been thrown into the ceiling.  Then the plane came back down, bouncing again but not quite as high.  Several more bounces brought the plane to a halt.  Katie looked at the fuel gauge.  It was just above empty.

 

“We’re down,” thought Katie.  “She started to unbuckle her seat belt.

 

“Just a minute, schlampe,” vone Stumpel said.  “I want you in that seat until I am sure you aren’t going anywhere.”  He turned his head and shouted into the back of the aircraft for Schallenberger.

 

He had to shout several times before the statuesque blonde appeared.  She was rubbing her head and cursing in German.  “Enough, Gertie,” von Stumpel said.  “Be thankful you are still alive.”  He gestured toward Katie and Larra.  “Make sure these two are secured.  We don’t want them going anywhere until we are sure that they won’t wander off.”  He trained the submachine gun on the two women while Schallenberger did as she was told.

 

Larra said nothing as Schallenberger bound her hands behind her back.  The blonde German did a good job, pulling the knots so tight that Larra winced with the pain.  Once again she was in the hands of her enemies.  Her plight was becoming depressingly familiar.  How long could she hope to keep on escaping from one danger after another?  But she gave no sign of how she felt.  Head up and alert, she clambered out of the cockpit and into the back of the plane.  Somehow she would find a way to escape.
