Chapter 30 Memory Recovery Project
The next morning, I woke up refreshed and relieved. It was Wednesday; I knew Daddy would be at the clinic early. We would be gone for three weeks; so, he had clients to settle with subs checks to sign, etc. I got up leisurely; I had taken a month's family leave for the wedding and honeymoon. I went from room to room reacquainting myself with our own house and our things, reassuring myself I was safe.
As I toured our huge apartment remembering the events from our lives here, the idea of memory was very much on my mind because of the lost days with Roger. I remembered first delivering to Mrs. Smith all those years ago, when I first saw Daddy's big dick; the Lori chronicles shot in the same sitting room, where we seduced the Samuelsons; all the time spent in the playroom.
I was zoned out on the past, when the intercom buzzed me back to reality. I was thrown for a second, but when it went off again, I remembered Angel was coming this morning to help me with last minute wedding preparations.
"Oh, my God! Miche, what a gruesome episode. He's not coming to the wedding, is he?"
"No, no, no! Daddy, told him never to darken our doorstep again. I have never seen him so angry."
"No fuckin' kiddin', that asshole almost sold your ass. So, what did he do with you for four days?"
"Honestly, I can only remember most of Friday night and waking up yesterday morning. I think he roofied me and kept me half-conscious the whole time. It's really freaky, I recall snippets of things, but no details, just fussy images and sensory information."
"Oh shit! You should go see my friend Camille, she's a hypnotist. I quit smoking with her; one session; I quit just like that. I bet she can help you remember, if you really want to. I'll text her, whadda ya think?"
"Hmm, I don't know. Maybe I don't really want to remember, but what if it keeps coming up when I don't want it to. It happened twice last night and right as I was coming, both times."
"Bummer! what if that's the trigger? Oh, that would suck, girl!"
I called Daddy, he was in the best mood I think I had ever experienced. "Sure, he didn't see any problem with going to the hypnotist. He wanted to find out what else that monster did to me."
He had to get back to work; "bye, Sissygirl." I pause here, just to say how much I loved his new nickname for me. It made feel all gooey inside. I loved being his "Sissygirl."
"All right, text your friend," I told Angel.
"Okay, she says, she could see us right away. She's just down in the East Village." She said five minutes after sending the text.
We got in a cab, and were walking into a hoardery cold-water flat in Alphabet City in ten minutes. The place had a total hippie vibe--a mixture of old weed smoke and Pyramid Patchouli incense. Camille was a very sweet, cherubic looking woman, with long blonde natural hair and a round moon face.
We walked into her front room, really the same as the kitchen and the rest of the apartment, separated from the rest by a line of bookcases. On a small side table next to the couch was the requisite bong, with a recently smoked bowl. This was also her and her husband's bedroom as the couch was also a sleeper. She wasn't personally slovenly, but they kept house... sparingly; the couch/bed bore the distinct aroma of a fresh-fucked pussy, with perhaps a soupΓ§on of ass.
I would have been content to smile quietly to myself about it; but Angel, never one to hold anything back, was blunt and honest--one of my favorite of her traits.
"Jeez, Cammie! What were you, just fucking in here?!"
Camille snickered sheepishly and admitted she just had "a bit of sesh" with her husband, before he went to work. She blushed beet red, but was very casual about it. Her husband Ray was a PI; he had been a police detective when they met, and she helped him solve a rape case by hypnotizing the victim. Now, Cammie helped him in the PI business; this was their main gig, though she still helped people quit smoking, and the like.
"Michelle... Angie says you want to recover a memory?"
"Well, uhm... yes, you see... I was drugged and kidnapped a few days ago; I am missing three days, but bits of memory keep coming back to me. I just want to try to remember what happened."
"Oh, that's terrible, honey! Did you call the cops?"
"No!... it's complicated... we don't want to draw attention. I just want to know what happened."
"You say, you were drugged? Do you know what he used?"
"No... not for sure, but I think it was Rohypnol. I've been roofied before, and I know you could be semi-conscious on it. The first time, I had memories that I thought were my imagination."
"Yeah, same thing happened to me at a frat party in college. The best thing to do is to try to recreate conditions of the event before hypnosis. This is not quite the same, but it might help. Take a hit of this." She handed me the bong and reloaded the bowl.
This "hair-of-the-dog" logic made sense to me. So, I leaned in, as she lit the bowl and sucked the smoke into lungs and held it there. She warned me not to hit too hard; I could tell it was really good shit, but I still pulled as much as I could; I figured to simulate the effects of a roofie was going to take a mighty big hit.
