Vic/Tim by Mike Sims

The original book that started a series, the tale of Vickie and Tim.

Vic/tim

Vickie is a corporate executive by profession, but in character is incredibly smart, creative, and lethal.  Like a red rose, beautiful in appearance, and eyes, mesmerizing like a violet flower, but this rose has thorns for those not careful. The adversities in life have victimized her; however, it has only strengthened her skills to gain victory over people and situations. She is physically strong but intellectually skillful and those on her radar get her method of treatment as they fall in her life’s wake. In Vic/Tim we follow her journey through territory and relationships anew. She dispenses her dark comedies and often ironic brand of justice on some while saving people in the process. A reluctant heroine, a Valkyrie that does what she sees as needed without publicity or fortune. But she learns that the lives she tries to change also change her.

Sample text:

He summons his courage and bursts out, quickly over- king Vickie and putting the knife to her
throat. He covers her mouth immediately and tells her not to make a sound.
She stares intently at him and down at the knife. Tim tells
her to comply with his wishes and she won’t get hurt. He
then tells her that he is going to take his hand off her and
she must take her clothes off. He asks her if she under-
stands as, and she nods slowly yes. He releases her and she
slowly stands up to lift her shirt off. She then looks behind
Tim and says, “Thank God you are here.”
Tim quickly turns to see who is behind him and no one
is there. Turning back quickly, he is kicked in the chest
hard by Vickie, knocking him against the clothes drawers.
By this time, she has grabbed his hand with the knife and
turned his wrist, forcing him to drop the knife on the floor.
He panics and begins to try to make a break for it as he
labors to breathe from the kick. However, she is too quick
for him and pushes him against a wall corner. He falls back,
stunned.
By the time he gets up, she has a short wooden stick
about three feet long and cracks him across the back as
he makes it to the stairs. He tumbles, hitting the wall at
the bottom. Looking up in horror, she is running down the
stairs with a look of fury on her face. He runs to the fire-
place and picks up a poker to defend himself, but she has
already deflected his thrust and hits him in the arm with the stick, causing him to drop the poker. He is badly hurt, and she cracks him again across the temple of his head. He is dazed and slowly gets up, seeing everything fuzzy. She is standing there hardly out of breath and staring at him like a lion about to finish its kill. He pleads with her to do no more and he will gladly go to jail.
