Although I did get a day or two to relax during my visit to my house in the Women's Republic's second city, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Harry back to the capital. I slowed down on the highway, afraid I might lose my attention for a moment. Then I decided I'd better pull into a rest stop.
I made my way to the ladies' room, and it took me a few moments to unzip my uniform skirt and pull down my panties. My fatigue was catching up with me and I suddenly released my pee just before I had my panties down and out of the way. This shook me out of my non-reverie.
I wiped myself after completing my peeing. I didn't have an extra pair of panties with me, so I carefully removed the ones I had wet and rolled them up tightly in toilet paper to stuff into my handbag. It did feel funny driving the rest of the way bare under my skirt. But somehow, I took it easy, brought some coffee with me, and pulled into the Correction Service's bachelor officer quarters garage and managed to take the elevator to my suite without encountering anyone.
I carefully removed my uniform and was pleased I hadn't stained the skirt during my pantyless drive. I took off my blouse and bra, unrolled my hose, and slipped off my shoes. Then I just fell into bed and snoozed at four o'clock in the afternoon.
My sleep was broken by the phone ringing. It was my former boss and friend, COL Rachel. She said she had something important she needed to discuss with me and asked if she could stop by. I told her that I had just driven back from home, had been asleep, and asked if she could give me 15 minutes to put myself together.
"Of course," Rachel said. "But is it o.k. if I be there in a real 15 minutes? This is important. Don't worry, by the way, neither you nor I are in any kind of trouble."
I told her I'd be ready in 15, so she thanked me quickly and hung up.
When she rapped on my suite's front door in the agreed-upon 15 minutes, I quickly opened it and welcomed her in.
Rachel had a concerned look on her face.
"We may have a problem," she began. "The Chief of Staff sent me a note that she understood a complaint about Nicole and Cynthia had been received. She wanted a full report from me on how it had been handled. I'm scheduled now to go to her office to report orally."
"This does sound like she's at the least annoyed by this," I responded.
"I think I proceeded properly," Rachel said calmly. "I hope you agree as I've involved you in this whole business."
"I have no problem with it, and I don't think this came from Nicole or Cynthia,"
"No, and I doubt that there's been anything further with respect to the officer who originally reported this to me," Rachel suggested.
"So, when do you go?" I asked.
"I need to be there in an hour," Rachel said. "I'm sorry about this but she has also asked me to bring you with me."
I felt my face darken. "Oh boy," I said, "this doesn't sound good--for either of us."
"Don't worry, Kate," Rachel replied, "you'll be all right. I suspect she's annoyed at me about this."
I took a few minutes to straighten my uniform for the meeting with the Chief of Staff. Then I joined Rachel for our walk to headquarters.
We entered the outer office and were met by LTC Sarah, Annette's adjutant.
"The Chief is expecting you," she said. "Go right in."
We proceeded into the spacious office of the Chief of Staff, and LTC Sarah followed us in and sat off to the right of Annette.
"I've read your reports, Rachel," Annette began, "and they appear to be in order. My only question is why you didn't send them to me at the time?"
"The issue, General, was morale," Rachel began. "The complainant, 1LT Jones, suggested that the cohabitation of CPT Nicole and 1LT Cynthia was bad for morale in the camp as they were Commandant and Deputy. She presented no indication that there was indeed a morale problem when I invited her to my office. I invited the First Sergeant, 1SG Louise, who said she was aware of no morale issue. Then I had Nicole and Cynthia in. They stated that they knew of no morale problems."
"I advised them that although the Service does not favor commissioned officers' cohabiting, it is not forbidden unless it creates morale problems," Rachel continued. "I told them that I had not heard anyone suggest that there were any such problems. I also said that I felt that it was appropriate for them to submit to being disciplined because one officer felt that there could be a problem and went so far as to raise it with me as Inspector-General. They agreed and I referred them to LTC Kate to handle discipline in her professional discretion."
"Is there anything else for me to know?" Annette asked.
"Yes," Rachel said. "1LT Jones subsequently went to CPT Nicole and apologized for raising the issue with me. She then submitted to being disciplined for not following the chain of command. She was disciplined by 1LT Cynthia at the direction of CPT Nicole as Commandant."
"Very well," Annette said. "No major problems except you should have forwarded this report to me when it happened."
"I was employing discretion as the complaint was unsubstantiated," Rachel responded. "Obviously, I erred."
"You did and I have determined that discipline is in order," GEN Annette stated. "Stand and remove your skirt."
Rachel, who was in her late 40s, stood, unzipped her uniform skirt, and stood in her jacket, blouse, panties, hose, and shoes.
"Bend over the desk," Annette ordered, pointing to a side desk. "Grasp the far side."
I can't say that I was all that surprised by what was happening in front of me. Annette had always seemed to like both Rachel and me. I wasn't sure why she seemed so offended by Rachel's failing to send her a report of a totally unsubstantiated complaint.
Annette then rose, picked up her duty cane, one that she had kept since her days as Senior Correctional Officer for the Supreme Court, and walked behind Rachel. She pulled Rachels' white panties down just below her bottom. Then she laid the cane across Rachels' bared bottom, drew it back, and began applying strokes firmly and expertly.
She carefully delivered one stinging stroke slightly below the previous one until seven red lines could be discerned on Rachel's bottom.
Then came the order Rachel most dreaded.
"Spread your legs," Annette ordered coolly.
She picked up a small whip, placed it near the carpet in the middle of Rachel's spread legs, and then snapped it up into Rachel's open crotch, hitting precisely in her vulva.
Rachel let out a scream. She had maintained a silence during the caning of her bottom, which must have hurt like hell. I've become pretty expert in wielding a cane, but Annette had years of experience.
Then Annette snapped the little whip up again into Rachel's crotch, eliciting a second scream. Finally, she struck again and this stroke with the little whip was severe, snapping loudly when it hit Rachel's open crotch. Rachel emitted a loud scream and Kate saw and heard a small stream of pee released, which gurgled when it hit the carpet.
This had to have been one of the most painful strokes I had ever witnessed. I did not like to deliver what we call Mistress's strokes, because I feel that there's too great a potential for serious injury. Rachel's likely involuntary release of urine was, to me, a relatively mild response to the shock of being whipped right in a woman's most sensitive place.
"I'm sorry, General," Rachel said with a whimper, "that last stroke made me lose control. I'm terribly ashamed and sorry for this performance."
"LTC Sarah," Annette said, "kindly insert the punishment suppository in COL Rachel's rear." It was a standard rule in the Service that release of urine during punishment required insertion of a suppository. Presumably, the likelihood that the suppository would cause the recipient to defecate shortly was an added aspect of the overall punishment.
The young adjutant walked over to where Rachel remained bent over the desk and inserted what looked to be a glycerin suppository into Rachel's anus.
"Please clean her now," Annette ordered. Sarah then picked up a cloth and wiped Rachel thoroughly between her legs, going from her vulva back to her anus.
"You may recover your panties and skirt, Rachel," Annette now stated.
Rachel rapidly put herself together and stood in front of Annette's massive desk.
"I am not happy with how you handled this matter, Colonel," Annette declared. "You have been disciplined, accordingly. I'm afraid it appears that you require some further retraining. I am sending you for one week to LTC Kate's Disciplinary Unit, where you will join the current class. You will be reduced administratively to the grade of PFC for the week. After that, assuming LTC Kate attests to your adequate performance, you will be restored to your full rank. I know this sounds harsh, but I hope you will now understand that I expect to be fully informed about this kind of matter. That is all."
"It shan't happen again," Rachel said calmly. "Thank you for correcting me, General."
"You may go," Annette replied. "Kate, I need a few words with you."
Rachel stood, saluted, and departed. I wondered what else could now occur.
"I am not blaming you in any way for what occurred here," Annette stated. "You did what COL Rachel transmitted to you. I hope you realize, however, that in any such matter, I need to be informed immediately."
"Yes, General," I responded.
"You may treat her like any other service officer or noncom sent to your unit for retraining," Annette told her. "She gets no special privileges. Is that understood?"
"Yes, General," I reiterated.
"Good," Annette said. "That is all. You may take Rachel with you back to your unit."
In the outer office, LTC Sarah gave me the official orders committing Rachel to the Disciplinary Unit "After she has completed her week at your unit," Sarah told me, "Please send me a report that I will hand over to the Chief of Staff."
I assured her that she would do that. "Is there anything else I should be aware of?" I asked.
"No," Sarah said. "Be aware that the Chief was put out by this and make sure that no special privileges of any kind are allowed."
"Thank you, Colonel," I said, and saluted her as she knew that Sarah was entitled to be saluted as the direct representative of the Chief of Staff.
