Leather & Lace #12 Leather & Lace #12
1 >Leather & Lace #12 cover Harry, Billy, Pam, and Chris (in dark tights) are at the Leather Goose. Harry asks Chris how she wants to handle it. She tells him she will go in the back, he will go in the front. Harry tells Billy to stay out of the way. Billy wants to help, Neji is their pal too. Billy asks more questions about how he will know when it gets out of hand. Harry asks, "Cripes!!! Does he always talk so much?" Billy tells her to be careful. Harry wants to go since this is getting mushy. Black's HQ: Velvet tells Dick to call her Velvet as they romp. Harry walks into the leather bar and finds an old man with moustache and sea cap, a bare chested cowboy hat wearing big man with a vest on and leather strap and metal ring across his chest, a black leather belt, a Village People like leather man with thin moustache, dark, and with leather jacket, and an old man with long beard and moustache, thick, with dark glasses. The cowboy says, "Well! Well! What do we have here?" The Village People like guy says, "New talent!" A cop like dressed leather vested man with black cap and short sleeves (ripped off) stops him. Harry dives into the man and gets toward the back room. Another cap man and a man with a sock on his head and almost square glasses comes at Harry, who didn't think this would be so easy. Chris acrobats her way into the back. A giant man, bare chested, fat, but with muscular chest and arms, calls her, "Yo bitch!! I know what you want and you ain't gonna get it but you are gonna get something else." This man has white hair or blonde hair and two pigtails down the sides of his face and more hair behind. He has on leather boots, leather pants, and belt as well as at least one bracelet (on left hand). Dick comments on Black's underground tunnel complex which goes on for miles. They can go anywhere in San Francisco unobserved. There have been set backs for Velvet. She has naked captives tied with their hands in metal shackles high above their heads: an Oriental boy, a blond girl, a black haired girl, and a blond boy: a team of do gooders who tried to thwart her in NY. "I keep them around as play things to test my equipment on." Dick likes Velvet's style. A clone boy reports to her about Neji's near rescue. She tells him it has all been taken care of. Harry is choked with leather rope by a man with cap but Harry elbows him. He then hits the old guy with the glasses, which come tumbling off. Billy has his hair long and tells Pam they gotta stay put. Chris acrobats her way around the giant man, kicking him. She almost hits Harry. The two of them get to Neji who is strung up with his hands over his head, the side of his shorts ripped off at the leg, showing bare hip. Chris gets him down, "We've come to get you, sweetheart." Harry picks him up in his arms, "Lead the way. I'll get him." Neji holds Harry's chest. They reunite with Billy and Pam outside but Harry urges them off...Ramone is waiting. Dick sees the queer kid Neji in Velvet's cavernous place. Neji is naked with a thick metallic pipe attached over his penis, his back arched as he is pushed forward, his upper arms shackled to a giant metal pole which slants down between his legs, he also has a metal piece attached to each ear, and there is a ring around his neck. The Neji that Chris rescued is a clone made from Neji's brother!!! A cloneboy is smiling as he tends to Neji. The one here, Neji, is going through severe brainwashing to turn him back into the obedient lizard they want. Dick would like to get Chris or Pam on that machine. Velvet feels the same sentiments. Velvet plans to ingratiate Dick back into Pam and Chris's company and make contact with the fake Neji in order to tear them apart from within. Different Glow bookstore: Ramone hugs Neji tight. Harry tells him that Neji has been through quite an ordeal. Ramone says Harry is right, "Poor thing. Off to bed with you, young man." Billy in tank top tells Chris she is a hero but Chris tells Harry he is one, too. Harry has one hand on Billy's shoulder and one on Chris's. Harry tells Chris that she surprises him. Harry adds, "Yeah...and perhaps you can surprise me some more say....after dinner. Chris says, "Oh, Harry, you old smoothy."
