Property of the RC
Chapter 1
Emily Interferes with a Debt
Dr Emily Koumides stepped out of the lift into a long apartment block corridor, she was beginning to regret coming here already, the apartment block was in a rough part of town, and walking through the building she felt more than a little self conscious, as music, shouts, rows, and moans seemed to come from behind each closed apartment door.
As a lecturer at the local college she took pride in her work and wanted all her students to reach their full potential of achievement. Visiting a student at home wasn't really in the college procedures and she was taking a risk trying to persuade one of her best students from dropping out.
She took a moment to pause before ringing the bell at Lucy's apartment, straightening her skirt and buttoning her cardigan a little more, she took a deep breath as she stood outside the apartment door.
Lucy was one of her most gifted and able students and it would be a real loss if she dropped out of college before even taking the exams which could one day lead her to a wonderful career. Yes, she needed to talk to her Mother in person to try and convince her, it was the only thing she could do, and with that she rang the doorbell.
The door opened and Dr Emily took a second to comprehend what she saw "Lucy?" she asked.
"Oh, hi Dr K." said Lucy as she stood there in skin-tight shiny black leggings and skimpy crop top.
"Erm sorry," Emily stuttered "I hardly recognised you Lucy."
Lucy giggled "Well yes, this is me in my loungewear."
Dr Emily wasn't sure if the outfit complete with 5" heeled ankle boots really counted as loungewear, but who was she to judge, she had just called un-announced at students' home after all.
"Can I help you with something?" said Lucy looking a little puzzled at her teacher.
"Er, yes sorry, is your Mum at home Lucy? I need to talk to her, and she hasn't been replying to my messages."
"Well she's here, but she's a little busy at the moment, I'll get her to call you tomorrow." Lucy said as she started to close the door.
"No Lucy, I've come all this way I need to talk to her now about your future!" Dr Emily surprised herself with how forceful this has sounded.
"Ok come in." said Lucy "but you might have to wait a while she's just getting ready for work." and with that she led Emily into the flat her heels clicking on the wooden floor.
"Tell Marcus I'm not ready yet, he's way too early!" came a shout from one of the rooms as they passed along the hallway "You'll just have to entertain him for a while I finish up getting ready."
"Mom, it's not Marcus, it's my lecturer from college she wants to talk to you." said Lucy as she showed Dr Emily into the lounge waving a hand at one of the white leather sofas.
Emily sat awkwardly, things weren't going as she had planned, and now she just wanted to say what she had to say and get out.
"What did you say honey?" came the reply from down the hall, and then a minute later Lucy's Mom appeared wearing thigh high boots, an incredibly short skirt and an under bust corset. She stopped abruptly just as she said "Marcus I'm not ready yet can't you see." she stopped so suddenly her exposed breasts jiggled with the abruptness of the change in momentum.
"Mom, this is Dr Koumides, my lecturer from college" said Lucy with a broad smirk on her face as she saw the awkward expressions on the faces of both women.
Dr Emily was shocked with what she saw Lucy's Mom was dressed like how she would describe a whore, but what most surprised her was her balloon like round enhanced breasts each topped with a nipple piercing in the form of a bar with a chain dangling between each end. These chains wobbled as Lucy's mom stood frozen to the spot taking deep breaths despite the restrictiveness of the corset belt.
"Sorry I thought you were someone else." she said her face changing to a broad smile "...and Lucy didn't tell me we were expecting visitors tonight." she shot a glance towards Lucy.
"I'm sorry." said Dr Emily as she stood up to introduce herself "I just called on a spur of the moment, I really needed to talk to you about Lucy's future."
She took step towards Lucy's Mom she awkwardly realised that with her in her flat shoes and Lucy's Mom in her 6" platform boots it meant that her eyeline was about level with her nipples. Nervously she looked up and blushed a little while offering her hand for a handshake.
"Well sure sit back down honey." said Suzy ignoring the hand and giving Emily a peck on the cheek, she sat on the opposite sofa and then waved a hand for Lucy to sit down too next to Emily, "Lucy never stops talking about your lectures, you're a real inspiration to her."
"Erm thanks." said Emily blushing even more now but starting to relax now the conservation was starting to flow "Lucy is a very gifted student which is why I wanted to tell you it's such a shame I hear that she is thinking of dropping out."
"Well..." said Lucy's Mom "As you can see, I'm an owned slut." pointing to the collar around her neck "my owners bought me in return for writing off my debts."
Lucy nodded politely; she hated the Female property laws brought in after the second global stock market collapse as part of the government's new austerity measures. The very idea that women could be bought and sold or valued disgusted her, let alone that they could be used in collateral for loans and to pay off debts.
"But..." continued Lucy's Mom "My ex-husband, Lucy's father, had to pay off the debts for his failed business by selling everything we owned including myself and Lucy to the RC..". Again Emily's heart sank, she hated the Repatriation Company, known as the RC, knowing that a bunch of Black gang leaders had become the financial backbone of the country post the economic collapse and they had bought up all the debt with their ill-gotten drugs money repulsed her.
Lucy's Mom continued "...and as Lucy's turns 19 next month and she becomes legal to be traded the RC will be looking to cash in on their investment."
Lucy giggled "So no exams for me Dr K."
Emily didn't really know where to start so she just came out with the first things that came into her head "That's barbaric, you can't sell your own daughter to pay off a debt, especially when she has so much to offer society, she could be a doctor or a lawyer or anything she'd like to be with the grades she is on course for..."
"But it's the law." interrupted Lucy's Mom, and "Lucy will be just as valuable a member of society for the RC working as a stripper or a whore like me..."
"Mom!" shrieked Lucy "You know I want to be a Porn star!"
"Hush," said her mom "We'll have to see how well you suck a cock first, before they put you in front of a camera taking it up the ass."
Lucy's Mom laughed at her own comment and then turning to look at Emily said "Well I think we've said all there is to say on the matter so if you don't mind, I've got to get ready for work..."
"No." said Emily this is ridiculous "Lucy is still my student and I still have a duty of care for her education."
"The RC don't care if she has an education!" spat Lucy's Mom as she squeezed her breasts together "They know how to value an asset and it isn't with her IQ."
Dr Emily felt defeated knowing she was losing the argument, and bent forward putting her head in her hands as Lucy's Mom finished by saying "Now I think it's about time you left before Marcus gets here."
Lucy looked across at her lecturer bent forward head in hands and her eyes lit up!
