Chapter 16
Oddly enough, sex had nothing to do with the capture of the two men and the woman-accomplice. Food turned out to be their undoing.
Marsha had this overpowering desire for pastrami, and as a result took one of the cars that night and drove to the delicatessen in the shopping center where the bank was located. She reasoned she would be safe because except for the deli and the pizzeria, the entire shopping mall was closed.
What Marsha didn't reckon on was being seen in the deli by one of the bank's tellers. Mrs. MacGregor had this hankering for Hebrew National hot dogs, and she and her family had gone there for a meal of knockwurst and beans. She recognized Marsha the moment the heavy woman came in, and she remembered Marsha was supposed to have been a kidnap-victim. If so, what was the woman doing here?
Trusting to her instincts, the woman got to a phone and called the police. When they arrived, Mrs. MacGregor pointed Marsha out to them, and they told her to stay out of sight.
The police quietly followed Marsha back to the house where she was staying with the two men and the kidnapped women. They broke in and arrested the men, finding some sort of clothing for the two naked bank employees.
The police wanted to bring rape charges against the men as well as bank robbery and kidnapping. But the kidnapping itself was good for thirty years for each of them-without parole, so neither Adele nor Audrey cared to press the rape charge. Besides, the two of them wouldn't admit it to anyone but themselves, but it would have been wrong to have the men sent to prison for giving them so much pleasure.
