This isn't a stand-alone story. If you choose to read it as such, I am hopeful you will enjoy the various different encounters of a sexual nature. Reading the first 5 chapters will put this chapter into perspective.

I rolled Shona onto her side. Then covered her with a blanket and put a pillow under her head, anyone sticking their head in the door will think she was asleep, I hope.
I untied the red silk ribbons from my ankles and climbed into the grey sweatsuit outfit that Grace had lent me earlier on. Still coming to terms with her in the US naval uniform. That had to be a con job of some sort. I started to search the room looking for anything that I could use to help me off this ship and out of this nightmare.
I wanted to search the cupboards and the drawers in the cabin first, looking for anything I could use to help me. But decided to work methodically and started in the bathroom. Seeing how most of the crew were armed with machine pistols anything short of a AR-15 would be pointless. I went through the bathroom looking inside the small cupboards over the sink, but nothing. Oh boy. Well at least I had one thing on my side, I was free of Gracie's watchful eye.
I went back into the cabin and took stock of what was there. Still barefooted I knew I would be picked up the moment I ventured out of the door. As I opened the larger of the two cupboards and I struck gold. First of all, it was Gracies toy storage cupboard, everything a girl could need to entertain herself and or her friends. From restraints and various handcuffs, from the fluffy playful types to the iron ones you see used on convicts, along with leg shackles and Chinese finger traps. Canes, whips, chokers of all sorts, dildoes and some rather weird-looking contraptions that I couldn't make sense out of. None of which would help me bring down well-armed and trained military personnel.
Grace was one very complex person I thought to myself.
I kept looking and came upon some work boots, not my size but better than nothing, they would rub my feet raw in no time, without socks on. Steel capped I noticed and just plain pull-on, not your military issue but with a couple of pairs of socks It might help. All I had to do was find them. I went over to her desk of drawers and opened up her lingerie drawer, a nice range of military-issue cotton panties, I grabbed the plain grey ones and took off the sweat pants and pulled on the panties, tighter than normal but good enough. That was the first time I had felt the raised scare tissue of the brand that Lai had instructed I wear forever more. It wasn't painful to touch, just painful to think about. I searched the whole drawer, not the first time I have had my hands in someone else's knickers, normally they were in them at the time, I chuckled to myself as I sometimes find myself amusing. I shuffled around and came upon a treasure trove, my luck was changing.
At the back corner of my drawer, I found my very own firearms, the SIG Sauer P220 Combat and the smaller Smith & Wesson model 340pd. I shook my head, why would you hide them in your undies drawer Grace? I checked them, they were still intact, and fully loaded. Thank heavens for small mercies I thought. I grabbed them, the boots and three pairs of socks and sat back on the bed. Placing the guns next to me, gave me a sense of courage as I smiled down on them and pulled the socks onto my feet, again as luck would have it the socks were larger than my feet. So getting into three pairs of them wasn't that hard. Pulling on the boots felt better, not great but better. Standing up it all started to come together. I went looking for some sort of holsters for the guns, just sticking them into my waistband wasn't going to work. I tried fitting them into a boot, and neither fitted. The S&W 340pd wasn't too big, being a snub-nosed revolver but I needed a holster of some description. I went back to the chest of drawers and kept looking. The P220 definitely needed a holster.
It was only after I looked in the mirror did it dawn on me, USMC Grace wasn't a naval officer at all but a fucking marine, and marines had camouflaged outfits. Oh yes, dear god, thank you I said out loud raising my hands to the ceiling as if I was some sort of evangelical convert. The outfits weren't in the cabin and I realised that Grace had come out of the bathroom dressed. I dashed into the bathroom and looked around but no cupboard. Yes a wash basin and a small mirrored cabinet but no wardrobe but it was in here somewhere. This ship was full of surprises, Lai had a fucking walk-in wardrobe for god sake, so why couldn't Grace have the same thing but hidden? I started looking closely at the wall, realising that one wall would be facing the corridor, so counted that one out in fact there was only one wall it could be, the shower and wash basin took up one wall, the cabin another and the corridor, so I started on the remaining wall. Looking closely at each seam and join in the wall, knowing that one of them would reveal an opening and fair enough, a third of the way along was a gap in the wall. I think black line. I tapped on it and then tapped on the panel next to it, definitely a different sound, all I needed was to find the lock. I ran my hand around what I thought was the doorway, nothing happened.
I stood back and took a wider, longer look at it. There was no obvious doorway or opening. What had I missed I wondered? I went back further until I stood in the doorway to the bathroom, I looked slowly around the room, seeking something that stood out, something that was different. Nothing came into view. No secret hidden lock, I shook my head and walked back towards what I knew was an opening but where the fuck was the latch to open the fucker?
I literally stumbled upon it. My toe hit a raised point in the floor. I stopped dead. Kicked it a little then a little harder. The carpet concealed it until I stepped on it and 'BINGO' the doorway sprung open. Not wide open, but it released a latch, I got my fingers inside it and as easy as that the door opened and there it was her hidden walk-in robe.
I fumbled around for a light switch and found it soon enough and it was like walking into Ali Baba's cave. It had everything I could have wished for. Uniforms of all descriptions, I got into a naval camouflaged one, instead of it being in the standard jungle greens it was more blues than greens. I quickly changed in a perfect fitting outfit. Pulled my boots back on and felt bigger, stronger and able to take them all on.
The weapons, oh my, the weapons, a smorgasbord of weapons. I am certain my eyes were like a kid in a sweet shop who had just been told by mum and dad to go for it. I brought myself back to reality, I picked up the M27 automatic rifle, with night scope and lazar tracking. I found a holster for my P220 but not one for the little S&W. I just stuck it in a pocket on the right leg of the pants.
