Wild Rabbit (Illegal drug, also called Rabbit) – Aneminiphine-colax-B; Wild Rabbit bombards the nervous and respiratory systems.[1] It was introduced in Witness in Death when Eve found some in Richard Draco’s goodie drawer. “She opened a small vial, sniffed cautiously, then shook her head like a dog coming out of a pool of water. ‘Shit. Wild Rabbit.’ She fumbled the stopper back in, grabbed for an evidence bag, and sealed the vial. ‘Pure, too.’ She blew out a breath. ‘If he’s using that on his dates, no wonder they all think he’s a sex god. One or two drops of Rabbit, and you’d screw a doorknob.’” She was a little dizzy and annoyingly horny, “and that was only from a quick whiff of the fumes. ‘Stuff this pure goes for ten thousand an ounce, minimum, and it isn’t easy to come by. It only works on the female system,’ she murmured. ‘Only takes a drop too many to overdose.’” Eve then jumped Roarke in the elevator after leaving the penthouse suite: “desperate for release, she rubbed herself against him, bit his lip, moaning as her hands squeezed hard on his butt.”[2]
Eve later told Peabody Draco’s variety pack of illegals included nearly an ounce of pure Wild Rabbit.[3] Michael Proctor said Draco tried to slip his mother Wild Rabbit. “She came into his room as he was putting drops pf something in her drink. She asked him what it was, and he just laughed. He said ... my mother doesn’t use hard language, but she told me exactly what he said. It would make her fuck like a rabbit... It scared her. She told him she didn’t want anything to drink, and that’s when he got mad. He called her names, tried to make her drink it. She realized then what kind of a man he was and she ran.”[4]
In Seduction in Death, Morris told Eve Bryna Bankhead’s killer had given her too much Whore, making her lethargic, so “he doctored the last glass of wine with a little cocktail of aneminiphine-colax-B. Wild Rabbit. It bombards the nervous and respiratory systems, and hers was already compromised.”[1] Louise Dimatto told Eve in her “ER rotation we’d have somebody coming down off Rabbit a few times a month, but mostly Rabbit clones, or Exotica/Zeus combo because the real’s so pricey.” Whore got its name as, mixed with alcohol, “it tends to loosen the system up enough so the ingestor would be amenable to being fucked naked on the ice rink at Rockefeller Center. The ingestor wouldn’t necessarily have the motor coordination left to actively participate, and would unlikely remember doing so, but she’d be damn amenable to suggestion.” Add Rabbit and “she’d participate with the entire U.S. Marine Corps, until she passed out cold, until her heart rate went off the charts and her brain-wave pattern flattened.”[5] Charles Monroe told Eve “only amateurs and perverts use Rabbit, on themselves or a partner. In my circle it’s considered both tacky and insulting... You don’t mix it with alcohol or any other stimulant. And you don’t want to overdose. ODs are extremely rare because the shit costs more than liquid gold.”[6]
Feeney knew of one “local dealer who specialized in the upper-end sex trade and made a profit. Name’s Otis Gunn. and he was in the swim about ten years ago. Had a pretty good line going until he got cocky and started cooking and serving his own Rabbit at parties.” He was doing year nine of twenty at Rikers in Seduction in Death.[7]
In Divided in Death, Blair Bissel had vials of Rabbit, a bag of Zeus, and another of Erotica in the goodie drawer at his studio.[8]
In Innocent in Death, Reed Williams had a supply of sex aids, including Whore and Rabbit.[9]
One of the ingredients in Tiara Kent’s drug cocktail in Eternity in Death was Rabbit (the others listed were Zeus, Erotica, Whore, Stunner, Bliss, and Boost).[10]
Jackson Pike had been doped with Erotica, Rabbit, Zoner, Jive, and Lucy in Ritual in Death.[11]
Whore and/or Rabbit were intentionally not used on Deena MacMasters in Kindred in Death, because the killer didn’t want her to participate or enjoy it - he wanted her terrified and hurting.[12]
Sylvester Moriarity III gave his wife at the time, Patrice Delaughter, Whore with a chaser of Rabbit during a threesome with a Licensed Companion, Ava Crampton. During the threesome, he also allowed his best friend, Winston Dudley IV, to participate even though Pat had nixed the idea. In Indulgence in Death, Pat told Eve about the incident - Crampton found her at a restaurant and told her what had happened because “there were lines, and [Sly] had crossed them, but she would deny ever having spoken to [her] if she told him.”[13]
In Celebrity in Death, Julian Cross explained to Eve that K.T. Harris told him he needed to give Marlo Durn a drink with Rabbit so she’d want to have sex with him, but he’d never do that to anyone. He told Harris to go to hell and pushed her after she shoved him, leading him to think (with a lot of “help” from Joel Steinburger) that he was responsible for Harris’s death.[14]
Dickie Berenski called the tea Trey Ziegler used on women in Festive in Death “a mild date-rape drug,” adding that “it’s not like whore or rabbit, and the user’s likely to feel relaxed instead of jumpy after the job’s done.” DeWinter added, “No memory loss with this. No wild up and downs or desperation. But compliance and escalated sexual desire. His victims, as they’d just what they were, would likely have thought themselves agreeable, even pleased. Afterward, again depending on the circumstances, there may have been some regret or embarrassment.”[15]
In Brotherhood in Death, the rape club members used an early form of Whore or Rabbit on the women they targeted,[16] likely cooked up by Frederick Betz, chem major and heir to Betz Chemicals in his home lab.[17]
In Secrets in Death, Larinda Mars had a large selection of toys and sex aids, including Rabbit.[18]
In Vendetta in Death, Nigel McEnroy had travel vials of Rohypnol, Rabbit, and Whore in his kink closet.[19]
