Dirty Talk/Three Brats/June 17th, 2021/Daniel finds Heidi and Milka

Do you know where to find those two?

It should be no problem. Trust me, I know their spots, so I'll find them for sure.

I'll go wait for Emilia inside. Let's keep in touch just in case something doesn't go as planned.

Oh, you silly little thing… "Within our limits", she says… "I'm not that dumb", she says…

You are an intelligent woman indeed, and a damn kinky one to the boot, but you are also naïve and inexperienced to our ways and customs, Laura. You have no idea how we do things in this village, and it almost makes me feel bad for you…

If a rule gets broken, and someone has a problem with it, that's a cause for discipline in the eyes of Kostikki, and you gave me all the ammunition I need to prosecute them. That's all I need to set them up to be punished. I know how to manipulate young brains and what buttons to press to make them shit their pants, and I'm so sick and tired of them always squirming away, "outsmarting" me, disrespecting me, and making fun of me. Milka, always playing hard to get, and Heidi, always acting like she's smarter than everyone around her… You're BOTH going to learn a valuable lesson in respect today…

Pity about Emilia, though. She looks so fuckable. I sure would've loved to get to know her on a more intimate level, but maybe next time you let me, my dear neighbor…

Still, rounding those two up might be difficult since I don't want to make a scene. I'd prefer to do this alone, but maybe I must give HIM a call to help me out…

I really think I should go.

I agree. What about us, Milka? What should we do meanwhile?

Well, we were supposed to go for a walk around the village. Let's go wait near the park. Maybe Emilia can still hang out after that little talk. Just keep us updated, okay?

Of course. See you soon, I hope.

. . .

There she goes…

*sigh*

What's the matter?

I fear for the worst…

What do you mean?

I… I've bit my tongue so far because I didn't want to upset Emilia, but…

Her mother could be dangerous…

Yeah, she's got issues. I don't like this a single bit either.

. . .

Like good grief, I've never seen anyone do it with a dog before, or ANY animal for that matter! And they were doing it out in the fucking open like it's normal or something!

And what about Danny?

What about him?

What if he's there?

I mean, he is pushy, yes, but he still knows to respect and follow the rules, and -

Y-you don't get it! Emilia is n-not like us!

Milka, let's not overthink the severity of this.

But I can't help it! We know how to handle him, but she doesn't! She's far too inexperienced to be able to protect herself or stand her ground!

Come on now, her mother just called her home to explain the situation. Did you not hear what Emilia herself said?

. . .

She herself said that her mother sounded genuinely worried. We should just trust her.

But… w-what if that's just a lie? A ploy!? You saw what they did! They could make her do something like that!

Oh come on now, no sane mother wouldn't let anything like THAT happen to their daughter!

SANE!? We don't even know her! She's practically an outsider!

Wait, are those tears? She's seriously crying…

She could be no different from those "tourists" who come here wanting to rape children because they think it's okay here!

Milka, she's a mother, not a monster! Emilia herself loves and trusts her. Shouldn't that matter to us as well?

B-but this i-is all my f-fault!

Is this what this is about? Does she really feel responsible for all this?

And what if HE really IS there, just waiting for her to come home!? What if he tries to p-push her too far or blames her!? What if SHE tries to blame it on her!?

Milka, please relax…

I-I can't h-help it! I dragged h-her into this!

Stop blaming yourself!

. . .

Fuck, I can't believe I yelled at her… I need to calm down… We both need to…

This is not your fault, Milka…

B-but, I… I'm s-so afraid f-for her…

S-she doesn't even k-know how to look out for herself, or… or protect h-herself…

Milka… Don't cry…

W-we… We h-have to m-make sure she's gonna be o-okay… I'm so afraid… *sob* …she m-might get hurt…

Please calm down!

. . .

We'll go, okay!? We'll make sure she's going to be safe! So just relax!

*sniff* Yeah…

Is she actually trying to was the star off with her tears…?

*ptui* Won't be needing this today… ✰

Y-yeah, right… I'll lick mine off too… Probably not a good idea to wear one today…

Let's go…

I'm almost afraid to come here knowing what happened just a while ago…

You could say that again…

Like seriously, doing that shit out in the fucking open… Idiots! What were they thinking!? At least Milka has calmed down a little, but my heart is still racing so much…

How do you even approach a house like this? It's so big, and no matter what happens, we won't be able to hear a peep.

Is approaching it even a good idea? I mean, we can't get a good look unless we get close, but because the yard is so open…

Yeah, we could get caught.

Maybe if we stay here in the bushes, we can -

Still up to no good, I see.

*gasp*

Shit! Milka was right!

You girls are nothing but predictable…

Danny, we're just -

Come with me.

No! We're just here for -

Don't you raise your voice at me, Ms. Ahlroos. You're only making it worse for yourself.

You can't take us! We're not even wearing stars!

I'll be the judge of that.

Huh…?

. . .

This fucking asshole, I swear…

Just come with us, girls.

Henry! Why are you here!?

I mean, I'm glad you're here, but…

Daniel told me everything. About what you did.

What are you talking about!?

Be. Quiet.

*jangle* …And stay still.

He's got handcuffs! Do they think we've been cursed!?

Wait…

Fucking wait…

Am I?

You can't do this! Heidi already said we're not wearing stars!

You have broken the rules, so who fucking knows what you could be hiding under those clothes.

N-no we have not! We're here for Emilia!

You won't be meeting her. She's grounded for the day, and you two girls are trespassing on private property. For the second time today, nonetheless.

We're just worried for -

Calm down, you two. There's no need to be worried, and Daniel only wants to have a talk with you. So just come with us.

Oh no…

Oh fucking no…

There isn't a fucking black star STILL hidden somewhere in my body right now, is there!? I made sure to wash it off, and nobody saw it when I was wearing my swimsuit earlier either, but… What if it comes back later…?

Heidi, please stay still. It's for your own good.

You too, Milka. Relax.

. . .

Just like that, Ms. Ahlroos, nice and easy…

Why did Milka stop resisting!? She looks so surprised, but… why is she nodding? Just letting Danny tie her up like that! Why!? And Henry, you asshole! Why are you enabling this!?

That's right, just do as you're told. No sudden moves.

Henry, please no…

Listen to me. You'll be safe. He just wants to -

B-but Henry! You don't get it! I think I'm cursed for real!

Huh? What are you -

I'm serious! He's going to fucking rape me if he finds out!

Jesus Christ, Daniel was right! Heidi's shaking in fear, on the verge of tears…

I didn't even take her for a believer. I mean, I had my doubts for years as well, and she's always been a skeptic, but… Fuck, I thought Daniel was going to just play around a little and give them a talking-to, give them a little scare in an attempt to correct their past behavior, but this is serious…

I didn't know what I was doing! I made a horrible mistake! But I didn't mean to!

Calm down!

Please, promise me he won't hurt me! I beg you!

You will both be safe. You have my -

What are you two whispering?

I'm just trying to calm my sister down and explain what's going on, Daniel.

Well ain't that just sweet. Your sister sure looks scared…

This seriously can't be happening! How could I be so stupid!? I should've believed in what Sanni and Milka taught me!

And guilty too…

It's too late now… I can't even bear the thought of what he will do to me if he finds a black star on my skin…

I'm not sure if I can keep on just watching, given how scared my sister is…

Like, can I trust Daniel? Fuck…

Danny's rubbing my shoulder… I'm sure I checked all over, but… Does he know where it is? I mean, Milka told me that Jokers know who's been cursed or not, even though the star is hidden…

Now those are the eyes of a girl who's been cursed and she knows it…

Danny, please stop…

I can't fucking watch this after all. But even though I brought my gun… Fuck, my heart is racing just at the thought of actually pointing it at him, my own mentor…

It's only a matter of time before I -

She said STOP you god-damn FREAK!

Milka, be fucking quiet or -

She hasn't done anything wrong! It was all me! I dragged Emilia into this!

. . .

. . .

Oh my god, Milka…

So don't you DARE put your hands on her!

Well, well, well…

It's ME who you should punish!

Why would you do something so reckless!? You're throwing yourself in harm's way! You idiot! I don't want you to get hurt either! And Henry! For fuck's sake, why aren't you putting a stop to this!?

Milka, calm down. He won't punish either of you. He just wants to have a talk with you.

Stern talking-to, yes.

Still, that's a confession of guilt if I've ever heard one…

Well, it seems like I'm not the only one here wishing to protect Heidi. I want to protect Milka too, but… I can't pull a gun on Daniel, no way in hell…

I need to calm down and think this through rationally… And I seriously need to have a talk with this guy…

Thanks for the help, Henry.

Girls, get inside.

Daniel, wait just a second.

Sure.

Girls, let me help you with seatbelts…

Henry, don't let us go alone with him!

Heidi, relax. Let me handle Danny, okay?

Just stay where you are. I'll have a quick talk with Daniel.

Alright, I'm closing the door for a minute, Daniel.

What's this about, Henry?

You owe me an explanation.

Are you that worried for them?

Yes, I am that worried, but not just for them. What the hell are you planning?

I already told you on the phone, didn't I? They have broken the rules. Milka even confessed just now.

But have they really been cursed?

I don't know if they have been, but I -

Don't play dumb. I know you're a Joker.

That doesn't mean I have superpowers, Henry. I can only go where the Raven leads me. Nobody can "sense" a curse.

That to me sounds like nothing more than an excuse to molest them, Daniel.

I just have to make sure by interrogating and searching them. That doesn't mean I wish to hurt them, Henry.

You say that, but what will you do if they are cursed?

I will do what I must.

I don't like the sound of that…

It's not my first rodeo, Henry. You can trust me.

Forget about me. They don't trust you.

Milka and I go way back, you know. She trusts me.

But what of Heidi? She thinks you're a liar.

And Milka is afraid of deathly afraid of going to a dentist too.

What does that have to do with anything?

What I mean is that children are irrational and emotionally charged little things, and they don't always know what's good for them. I know Heidi distrusts me to an extent, maybe even hates some parts of me, and it brings me no joy to hear that, but I'd rather be a bad guy in her eyes than let her get away with breaking the law. The same goes for Milka.

. . .

For the last time, I do not want to hurt them, and I don't want it to be traumatic for them either. But as an enforcer of both law and our local ways, I have to do what I must.

Daniel, I get it…

But this isn't a game for me, Daniel. This goes beyond police work too. She's my family.

And that's exactly why you must sit back on this one.

Let me come. I wish to punish Heidi myself.

No. That's final. I can't let your emotions get the better of you.

How can I trust him when he doesn't even want me to come with him? He's definitely planning something, I just know it. But what the hell should I do? Demand to go with him, not just ask kindly? Fuck, Heidi doesn't call him a liar without reason… I know this guy has his issues within his family too, so I know he's a liar…

But even though I know he's not a rapist… I just can't push this ugly feeling in my stomach away…

I don't want to potentially sacrifice these two girls to even for a second, but perhaps if I play my cards right, if the worst comes to pass…

I think I know what I must do…
