Just a quibble; wouldn't a shotgun have been a messy weapon to use on the captive while the girls tied him up? I mean, yeah it'd kill him, but that's not what I mean. If the one with the gun pulls the trigger on a
shotgun, she blows
all three of the others away, not just the captive - that's what shotguns do! There's no such thing as precision aiming with those things even at close range! If I'd been one of the other two, I'd have preferred her to pick a different kind of weapon!

Dare to be different... and make a difference.
To boldly go where no one in their right mind has gone before...
