The very same Friday that Dan was going down, frogmarched into a police car and heading for a night in the cells, Mary was moving up. Career-wise, that is. Her promotion to area marketing director was confirmed, and with it a much bigger salary and matching bonus. While Dan stood shivering in his knickers and bra before the duty officer at the local police station, Mary was settling into her new large corner office. She was looking up online real estate agencies with a view to buying that large house in the nicer area that she'd had her eye on for the past month.
Mary's feel good moment was brief, wiped away by Alice's phone call telling her about Dan's arrest. Then Alice did what Alice was very good at. She had a plan to sort it.
Alice was going to make use of her very intimate relationship with the local magistrate. She had knelt between the magistrate's strong legs and pushed her face up under the magistrate's course tweed skirt to lick her Honour's pussy more than once at various intimate gatherings of the local Sapphic club. Alice was confident the magistrate would agree to accept a guilty plea from Dan to the over-the-top charge laid against him, then go with the house arrest option with Mary as his custodian. From Mary's perspective, turning Dan into a totally compliant and controlled slave would suit her new busy executive life. She now had an upwardly mobile career to focus on, and wanted to focus on that full time.
One conference call between the Chief of Police, the Magistrate, Alice and Mary, and the deal was agreed. Mary would keep Dan totally secluded for the first three months of his sentence during which time they would move to a new address in the gated community that she had been planning to move to anyway.
The next morning, Saturday, Dan had his wrists cuffed on either side to a thick leather belt which was cinched tight about his waist over his orange overalls. His ankles were shackled with leg irons fastened by a one foot length of chain between the cuffs. Dan could just about keep up, in an undignified shuffling trot, with his escort, one on either side of him, as they each gripped one of Dan's elbows and forced him along at a brisk pace out of the cell block and into the yard at the back of the station. You've seen in on TV; the perp 'walk of shame' at the end of which, head pushed down from above, Dan was unceremoniously whooshed into the back of a police car and the door slammed shut behind him. Unshaven, unwashed, and before he even had a chance to use the toilet, which would have unfortunate consequences later, Dan was on his way for his date with the justice system.
It being a weekend, the court convened at the Magistrate's home, a big colonial style building on the outskirts of town. Dan was shuffled in a side entrance and into a small room with no window. Might have been a larder of some sort in the old days. Waiting for him was Officer Sullivan, who had arrested him the previous day at the community college. She told him that legal representation had been arranged for him by his wife, indicating a young woman standing to one side, who looked like she'd hardly finished high school, never mind college. She wore a short grey skirt and a tight white blouse. Hint of a Britney Spears teen vamp about her. She wasn't shy either. Britney immediately spoke up.
'Mr Murnaghan, I'm your legal counsel, appointed by your wife on your behalf. I've have examined to the papers in the case, and the photographic and video evidence. (Paused to give an exaggerated roll of her eyes.) I have spoken with both the Magistrate and your wife. She told me about your slave status and how you obey her in all things.'
At this both the lawyer brat and Officer Sullivan looked at each other and sniggered openly, before she continued. 'Please confirm if that is the case?'
Dan thought briefly about his options and decided he had none.
'Yes, Ma'am, I obey her in all things.'
'Good. Your wife and the Magistrate have agreed that you should plead guilty. I agree. This is an open and shut case. There is clear, detailed, photographic and video evidence of a gross indiscretion of a sexual nature. The video is backed up by forensic evidence drawn from the stain on your trousers. No need to say any more.
'In my experience, a full contested trial in public would be a media circus of the century. Move over OJ, here comes Dan - the erection man. The judge would probably feel obliged to hand down the severest sentence to assuage the popular press and public opinion. You don't want that. Do you? Certainly your wife doesn't.
So, we are agreed. Guilty. Okay?'
Dan nodded his acceptance of the guilty plea.
The kid lawyer reached into her cavernous bag full of documents. Dan expected her to pull out a confession for him to sign. He was very surprised when, instead, out came a large pink ball gag. He recognised it as the one Mary used on him regularly at home.
'Your wife suggested, and we have all agreed, it best if we put this on you,' she said grinning from ear to ear. 'The main purpose of the gag is to emphasise your slave status. That will play well with the Magistrate. Mary has made her aware of your status in her household. The Magistrate is particularly fascinated by the idea of domestic male slavery, apparently. So this will play well with her.'
'Okay,' agreed Dan numbly. 'What next?' was all he could think, as he bent down and opened his mouth wide to make things easy for the schoolgirl lawyer. He assumed the ball gag would be forced into his mouth anyway if he tried to refuse, since Mary had wanted it. Officer Sullivan tightened the gag straps from behind, forcing the large ball behind Dan's teeth, stretching his jaws. He spluttered and choked slightly before settling into a steady loud snorting breaths through his nose. His cock stirred in his panties. Hr hoped the thick cotton of the orange coveralls would hide it.
The lawyer kid was still talking. 'In light of your guilty plea, which I already entered on your behalf, the Magistrate has agreed that we proceed immediately to a full hearing of the case.' She nodded at Officer Sullivan, who moved in and took a firm grip of Dan's arm. 'Your case will be decided here and now. You will be sentenced immediately. You should prepare yourself to be taken from here to the State penitentiary to begin serving your sentence. You can expect to be put away for at least three years. That's the deal we have agreed.'
Instinctively, Dan made a pathetic attempt to run for it. And Officer Sullivan was ready, being well used to this type reaction by your average middle class convict-to-be when faced with the reality of what is about to befall them. Even without her firm grip on his arm, Dan was never going to get anywhere. His legs were shackled. The door was closed. His hands were tied to his sides. All Dan managed to do was bounce up and down a few times while shaking from side to side as he tried to free himself from Officers Sullivan's grip. He snorted wildly like a bolting pony. As quick as it began it was over. Dan's inner Elvis accepting that he is caught in a trap and he can't walk out. He settled back down in defeat, the rattle of his leg irons eased and the inarticulate guttural grunts from behind his gag subsided. In the silence, a slow dark stain spread across the crotch of his orange overalls, eventually reaching half way down his thighs.
'Oh my God, he's pissed himself.' sniggered the brat lawyer, reaching into her bag and pulling out a phone to photograph Dan's humiliating disgrace.
'He's pissed himself yesterday as well when I arrested him,' added Officer Sullivan unhelpfully. Dan blushed with the shame of having these two woman discussing his lack of bladder control like he was some errant toddler that had wet himself in the playground.
Turning and opening the door to the hall, the lawyer called over her shoulder as she passed through, 'Officer Sullivan, kindly take your bed-wetting prisoner into court.'
Dan was led, shuffling, down the hall and into a large drawing room. There were armchairs and a couch before a grand fireplace at one end. At the other a large mahogany dining table filled the width of the room. The people sitting behind the table and facing him were silhouetted by the light from the three big windows behind them. Officer Sullivan, still gripping his arm tightly, brought Dan up to the mid-point table and placed him standing about one foot back from the table edge. There were no chairs on that side of the table, 'Stay,' she said to him, like he was a dog. She moved over to the far end of the table and took a seat. The brat lawyer has already taken up station at the opposite end and was assembling her papers in front of her. Blinking in the bright light, Dan could make out five people facing him on the other side of the table. Directly before him sat a heavyset women in her sixties. She had short iron grey hair, a coarse wool suit and wore thick black glasses. She looked all business. Had to be the Magistrate.
The Police Chief, another large lady, was sitting to her right. She was in full uniform, her blond hair permed and tidy, and looked very official and officious. Mary, his wife and owner, sat to the immediate left of the Magistrate. Outside her sat Alice and Bette respectively. Dan was surprised to find them there. The police chief and magistrate's heads were together as they looked over some files. Mary was in deep whispered conversation with Alice and Bette. Dan's entrance was ignored by them all. He stood before them breathing his snorting breaths. At a small separate desk in the corner, a mousey bespectacled women sat hunched over a stenograph machine. That's the court reporter, concluded Dan. He took a deep breath and waited.
'Myrtle,' called the Magistrate, turning in the direction of the court reporter. 'I want you to write up the record of this court session fully and properly as if we were in the county courthouse. This is a formally constituted sitting of the court. We are going to be quick. It's the weekend after all, and I'm sure we all have better things to do. I have golf game to play and I'm due on the first tee in an hour. You'll dot the i's and cross the t's for me won't you, Myrtle?'
'Yes Ma'am,' answered Myrtle, who then called out for everyone here present to respect the court etc. etc. 'The court is now in session,' she concluded, and began tapping rapidly at her machine.
The Magistrate, never once looking at Dan, addressed the people on either side of her.
