They may have called it the ‘wild’ West, but for Sue Moore, things were quite sedate as another workday at the Azure City Bank drew to a close. The soft-spoken clerk had been so busy pouring over the ledgers for today’s transactions that she didn’t immediately hear the door into her little teller’s office open. “O-oh, I’m almost done, Mrs. White, just finalizing some records.” The doe stammered, not realising that the woman standing next to her was not her employer. That was until she was suddenly grabbed from behind, and a gloved hand shoved a cotton handkerchief into her mouth, that quickly got secured by a second handkerchief tied between her lips. Sue let out a muffled cry for help, but this did nothing to dissuade her attacker from roping her to her chair.
The chair was then spun around so the mysterious robber could tie her captive’s legs, revealing her captor to be none other than the infamous Crimson Wildcat. No matter how much this bandit hid her true identity behind a bandana, eye mask and hat, her beauty was only matched by her cunning and efficiency. Often disappearing with entire fortunes as soon as she had shown up, only leaving a calling card in the form of the tied and gagged victims who were in her way. And now, poor Sue had met that same fate, including getting extra bandanas tied over her mouth to silence her even further.
“Hush now, sugarcube~” Wildcat purred in a flirtatious drawl. “Our poor sherif has very sensitive hearing~” Sue tried to plead to be released, but the gags reduced her cries to adorable whimpers, as she could only watch the Crimson Wildcat expertly pick the lock of the vault in her office that held the last few transactions, loading all the money into a large sack. “Well lookie here, what a catch! Thanks for the help, hun’, but I must be goin’ now~” The feline bandit chuckled to herself, blowing a kiss to the helpless doe before leaving her behind.
“I don’t think your boss has noticed the ruckus yet, and she is too purdy to not pay a visit as well~”
