I went into the back door of the plant and saw Sarah near the end of the pressers' work area. She was checking the quality of the cleaning and pressing functions and pushing the clothes down the line to Lucy who was bagging them and putting them in on the storage conveyer according to the assigned number on the check-in slip. I waved at Sarah and went into the office. I pushed the door closed and sat at the desk.
It took about ten minutes before Sarah came into the office. "I've missed you, Boss," she said. "When you have the time, I need to talk with you about some personal stuff."
"Now is as good a time as any," I said.
She approached the desk and loosened her sleeves. She pushed them up and I saw bruises along her arms. "What happened?" I asked. "Who did this to you?"
"I told you that my husband was back and I think that out of consideration for me, you stayed away for a few days," she said. "I appreciate what you were trying to do but I've needed you, not for sex as much as for advice."
She locked the door and opened her blouse. She loosened and removed her bra and turned toward me. Her shoulders, breasts, and ribs were a multitude of colors ranging from browns to purple. "Isn't this pretty?" she asked. "My husband and his twin brother announced that I had not been doing my wifely duties so now I was going to have to service both of them whenever they wanted me to. As you can see, I resisted and they beat me into submission. They held me down and took turns raping me in my vagina and in my asshole."
"Have you seen a doctor?" I asked.
"Yes," she said. "They thought they had killed me so they took me to the hospital and dropped me off at the emergency room. They told me to tell them that I was in an accident. I told the doctor what really happened. They took pictures and did vaginal and anal swabs but the doctor told me that because they are identical twins, their DNA is the same. He said all that would be proven is that my husband had sex with me."
I put my arms around her and she held me very tightly and sobbed like a baby. It was the first time since it happened that she had someone to hold her who really cared. "Sarah, I promise that they will get as good as they gave," I told her. "Are they working?"
"They are working on that new school they're building at Conway," she replied. "They go to Connie's Bar after work. They rape me every night now. I don't want to go home."
"They've raped you for the last time," I said. "Don't even think about it anymore. Get squared away. I have to leave for a few minutes."
I drove across town and made a call to Dave and Mike, a couple of guys that I loaned money to when no one else would. They indicated that they owed me and would do anything for me. They are wrestlers. They are big, they are brutal, and they are gay. I explained what the twins had done to a friend of mine and how unhappy I was about it. I said that I really didn't care what happened to them but I thought they needed a good ass fucking. They agreed. I don't know what happened to them but witnesses say they were shanghaied in Connie's parking lot and two hours later were dropped off about three blocks away wearing nothing but their pants with the seats cut out.
At six o'clock that evening, Sarah and I were sitting in my car in the driveway of an empty house-for-rent across the street and two houses down from where she lived. Just for the fun of it, we had closed and locked the gate across the driveway to her house. At a quarter past the hour, her husband and his twin brother sped up and noticed that the gate was closed just in time to keep from hitting it. They jumped out of the truck and ran to the walkway gate and even though we had not locked it they were unable to get it open. They finally got over the fence and into the house. We almost wet our pants laughing at them.
"Do you want to go inside to see that part of the show?" I asked. "I'm sure it's funny."
"No," she replied. "What happened to them? Why were they bleeding from their butts?"
"I'm sure I don't know but if I were to guess I would say that they found out what it was like to be raped," I said.
"You did this for me didn't you?" she asked looking at me with a look that could only be described as adoration.
"Of course not," I replied. "I don't do that sort of thing."
"I don't mean the rape," she said. "But you paid them back. I mean, had it done. If it weren't for my nosy neighbors, I would kiss you long and hard."
"If you did, you would miss this," I said as the twins ran out of the house. They didn't even try the gate. They threw their suitcases across the fence and gingerly climbed over as if they were trying to protect their rectums. Tossing the suitcases into the back, they jumped into their pickup and sped away as if they had stolen something. We were laughing as we followed them at a safe distance. We watched as they pulled onto the Florida Turnpike headed north. I took Sarah back to the plant to get her car.
Pulling into the plant's parking area, we noticed Lucy's car. I was a little surprised to see it there after seven but was not unhappy to see it. I really didn't want to have sex with Sarah tonight but I suspected that she wanted to show her appreciation. I just wanted to put a little time between the day's events and anything that happened between us in the future. Plus, I had not had any time with Lucy in a while.
"What have you two been up to," Lucy asked accusingly with a smile.
"What would you say if I told you that Sarah and I have been out having wild and passionate sex?" I kidded her.
"I would say great," she said. "Both of you looked like you needed it but it couldn't have been that wild or passionate to be that quick. You haven't been gone two hours."
"What would you say if I told you we had some business to take care of?" I asked.
"I'd believe that quicker," she said. "But would hope that both of you would find that wild and passionate sex you mentioned." She caught herself and added, "I didn't mean together. I meant I just hope you'd find it."
Sarah and I were laughing at Lucy stumbling, trying to get it right. Sarah asked, "Lucy, why are you here so late?"
"I had a rush of customers at closing time," she replied. "Then Beegee Cuningham came in asking about her bill which I couldn't find. Then I thought I'd finish putting these clothes on the conveyer. I clocked out at six fifteen because you had not approved me staying late."
"Sarah, I don't want to get into the decision making process between you and your employees but I think that Lucy is responsible enough to make decisions as whether to stay or not, I said. "Plus, we do want her paid for all her time, don't we?"
"Absolutely," Sarah answered.
"I'll leave you two to work it out," I said. "I've got work to do that I didn't get done today." I left them and went to the office.
Sarah stopped by the office on her way out. "Thanks again," she said. Her face was filled with emotion. She was smiling as big a smile as I've ever seen on her and tears were welling up in her eyes. She leaned over and kissed me hard enough to hurt my lips and left.
