Authors Note: These chapters will make almost no sense if not read in order. If you haven't, I strongly suggest you go back to the introduction and chapter 1. Enjoy.
Bob had a tote in the basement with the equipment from the last two times they had used the "program," which included four lengths of carefully measured 1/2 inch high strength steel chain and six high security padlocks. Bob would wrap one short chain tightly around Jill's waist and padlock it.
Their unfinished basement did have a few unpainted sheetrock walls, one divided the basement roughly in half between the "daylight" part that had windows onto the back yard and the front part that was mostly underground with poured cement foundation walls. The daylight part was mostly used for storage plus Bob had a simple workbench and some tools. The front of the basement had no windows and only one insulated door to enter the space. Along the front of the area was an 8 X 8 alcove that was under the main front door stoop. This alcove had a cement roof that supported the tiles in the entryway. This room was intended to be a basement half bathroom and had a simple sink and toilet. Clair had always been told the toilet was there for when they finally finished the basement into a rec-room and had not thought much about it until now. "So THAT's what that toilet is for" Clair exclaimed when she finally figured it out.
Because the room was underground and cement on 3 sides, it never got more than about 80 in the hottest days of summer. Bob had installed electric baseboard heaters that easily kept the area above 75 in the winter. In the middle of the alcove was a steel support column. This column was put in place before the cement floor was poured so it went right down into 4 inches of cement. The top was welded to a steel beam that held up the cement ceiling. Bob would wrap another 20ft length of chain around the bottom of the column and padlock it on, then attach the other end of that chain to Jill's waist chain.
Bob spent the rest of Saturday pulling things out of storage and setting up. First, they had an army surplus metal folding bed frame with wire springs. On top of that was a 2-inch cotton tick mattress. No sheets or blankets were allowed to make it easier for the cameras to see if Jill was trying to masturbate. Nor were blankets needed due to the excellent climate control. A small, 4 ft high shelf was added to the room and stocked with feminine hygiene products, bottled water, a toothbrush, and toothpaste and a small hairbrush.
The white board used to record Jill's program was mounted on a wall just out of reach of her chain.
Next Bob moved the modified family treadmill and spin cycle into the space, mounting their controls outside the space. This left only about enough room for a yoga mat for Jill's exercises. Bob had previously mounted a chin up bar at the perfect height for Jill. The light switches for this space were programable timers and were on the outside of the door, as was the thermostat for the baseboard heaters. The ceiling in the basement was almost 12 feet high so Bob got out his ladder and mounted the two security cameras, on opposite corners of the room at the ceiling and made sure the cameras and wiring were well out of Jill's reach. The cameras fed to Bob's computer and recorded to a large hard drive. Next Bob organized the cleaning closets on the 1st and 2nd floors of the house and, using welded eye bolts that he had mounted years ago, attached the two other long chains with padlocks.
During most of this time Jill simply stood near the steel pole she was chained to or, once Bob set it up, sat on the bed and stayed out of his way. Clair was around for the morning but, if she was curious, she stayed upstairs. Shortly after lunch she hollered down the steps that she was going to the mall with some friends. Jill and Bob chatted occasionally about what he was setting up but were largely silent. Jill was still processing what she had gotten herself into again.
First Night
By Saturday night, Bob had everything set up including a run to Costco for cases of protein drink, vitamins, and other supplies he would need. He picked up some dinner at the local Mexican takeout and arrived home just as Clair was returning from the Mall. While Bob fixed Jill's first dinner in the blender, carefully measuring the ingredients, Clair laid out the takeout dinner.
"Want to take Mom her dinner?" asked Bob.
"ummm no, I don't think so, not tonight." Clair said slowly, "I mean, she's naked right?"
"Yessss," Bob laughed, "and she will be for the foreseeable future. You're going to have to get used to it sometime. It's not like you haven't seen her naked before."
"God Dad, the last time I was probably eight and we went in the locker room to change bathing suits, I think I'll pass tonight, OK?" Clair then looked again at the cup of goo and asked. "Is that all she gets?"
