Chapter 11
Steve left Cedric hogtied and gagged the brush around the warehouse. He hightailed it to his car and took off with the engine screaming as he raced to save April. Steve noted that Cedric's map was actually a large U with the city of Franschhoek at its apex. He had no idea about the back roads in this area so he was forced to follow Cedric's map.
Steve knew he was taking the long way around and he knew Johan would have some alone time with April. He hoped that she would be okay and nothing bad would happen, but he knew his desires had an expiration. After about 20 minutes he entered the town of Franschhoek, a town he had never been too. The town was very stylish and seemed to be across European and African styles.
He knew the history of Franschhoek and it was originally populated by French winemakers. As he drove rapidly through the town it was easy to see the French influence on not only much of the architecture, but also the food and clothing displayed in the various shops. He passed many outdoor cafΓ©s and felt his stomach rumble as he did. Unfortunately, right now he was not looking for food or the scenery and really only had one thing on his mind... April.
It had been 35 minutes since he left Cedric hogtied the warehouse and he was just now making the last leg towards Johan's house. He still didn't know if April was there, but it was the only logical lead he had. The more he thought about April the harder his foot pushed the accelerator. A curve came up too quickly on him and his wheels went off the road as he tried to negotiate the tight curve.
The backend of the car slid on the wet grassy shoulder of the road, but fortunately he recovered enough to keep the car actually on the asphalt. Steve slowed just a bit to make sure he didn't lose control of the car, but still sped on as fast as he dared. As he looked ahead, he saw that he was headed towards a craggy mountain with a band of green forest at its base.
According to the GPS he had one more left turn to make before he arrived on the road that led to Johan's house. As soon as he made that turn, he looked for a wide spot in the road or a dirt road to park his car. Up ahead he saw the stone house in the clearing just before the forest and a pickup truck was parked in front. He drove past the house and found a small dirt road on the other side of the house, where he parked his car.
Steve gathered up his backpack and pistol and tried a stealthy approach to the stone house. As he arrived, the front door was ajar in the house was lit up like a Christmas tree. He skulked around looking in all the windows and finally saw a huge man lying on a bed, fully clothed. He looked asleep, so Steve took the chance and went into the house through the open back door. He quickly and quietly searched the house, but found no indication of April, however he did find her slave collar on the kitchen table. He carefully laid down his backpack, took out some large zip ties and tucked his gun in his pants.
Steve had no idea how quickly the man might wake, so he decided to restrain his legs first. He carefully slid the zip tie around man's legs and quickly zipped it shut, immobilizing his legs. Johan lurched awake and bounded out of bed, unfortunately with his legs and zip tied he fell headfirst out of his bed. He was stunned for a moment on the floor and Steve took advantage of the situation zip tying his hands behind his back.
Johan struggled mightily trying to get away, but the zip ties held. Steve rolled him over on his back and straddled him with his pistol pointed at his crotch. Steve had learned in his dealings with a rapist back in Texas that they value their manhood more than their head. He kicked Johan in the ribs with his boots and then growled, "Where is April?"
Johan smiled an evil smile and softly answered, "That's for me to know and you'll never find out. She's mine now and if I can't have her no one will."
Steve softly kicked him in the groin and Johan grunted in pain, but soon his evil smile was back. Steve knew this was going to take a while, but as a trained BDSM master he had also taken many classes in anatomy. He knew where the pain points were without causing any damage very quickly began to use this knowledge to extract information from Johan.

In her stretched backbend April's body began to cramp. This was her second day of bondage and her muscles were starting to give out. She hadn't had anything to eat since her aborted meal at the hospital and her body desperately needed fuel. As a doctor she knew much of the cramping was lack of nourishment. She had fought the gang and Johan and most of her energy was gone.
However, that was not what scared her, it was the noises in the forest around her and the ants crawling up her arms. She felt the ants nibbling on her breasts and belly, gobbling up all of Johan's spunk. Earlier she had some kind of small bird land on her tightly strained stomach and as he hopped around, its talons would scratch and dig into her skin. With her head hanging backwards over the rock, she couldn't see what the bird was doing, but she felt him pecking at her stomach, breasts and nipples.
The African sun was also beating down on her skin and soon beads of sweat formed only feeding the ants and the birds. However, it was the unknown noises in the forest that she feared most. She heard twigs snapping and leaves rustling as though something was prowling in the forest just feet away. She had terror filled visions of strangers walking out of the forest and using her nude bound body over and over for their pleasure. Or she dreamed of a wild animal feasting on her flesh while she was alive.
With the rope around her neck she couldn't see what was going on around her. If she could have only looked into the forest and seen what was there maybe she would not have felt such a terror. Bound naked in the middle of a South African forest let her imagination conjure up all kinds of terrible fates and she didn't even have her slave collar for comfort.
