The second man turned to see his partner being held against the wall by....nothing. Too scared to fully pull the trigger, he was a sitting duck for Betty, who had finally pulled her wits together and had picked up a metal bar from the deck with her tied hands. She swung as hard as she could and thug number two crumpled like a sack of potatoes to the floor. The one the Shadow had in his grasp was so terrified, he actually fainted.

She kept the bar in hand, not knowing if the mystery assailant would finish with the bad guys before having a go at her as well. Her eyes searching to try and see an invisible man. The metal bar lifted over her shoulder. "Whoever is there..." she started braver than she felt. "...don't try anything funny."
