"Damn, that was some lesson," Nikki said when she got out of bed after an evening with her now reunited girlfriend Alicia Anderson, who the researcher knew as Alexis Phillips. "She taught you well holy shit, Alli..."
"So I'm Alli now, huh?" the former Alexis Phillips asked with a laugh and a shrug. "I guess I am, since I can't figure that out at the moment."
"I don't care what your name is, I care about you and who you are," Nikki responded, stretching as she stepped out of bed. "I just want to be with you, whatever the world calls you."
"Damn, you always know just what to say," Alicia said with a smile. "We gotta figure out what we are doing."
"Yeah, about that, we need to figure that out quick," Nikki replied. "If your last owner, that Jasmine bitch is clever enough to use fucking radio signals to get you a message so nobody would know, I am sure she will figure out a way to find us."
"Us?" Alicia said questioningly. "I don't want you anywhere near this shitshow my parents got me into."
"Sorry babe, I am not going anywhere," Nikki said. "Not after not being around you the last few months."
"Fuck, I don't want you to get killed or become a slave like me....." Alicia responded, a hint of fear in her voice.
"Well, I think they figured out I am no longer working at the Mason Group...." Nikki answered, pointing to the clock which indicated it was well past time to be at work.
"Holy shit... what do we do from here then, since I can't get rid of you..." Alicia said, trying to make light of their situation.
"We fight. Together. No matter what happens," Nikki said, taking Alicia into an all encompassing hug.
Once the hug, one Alicia hoped would never end, was broken, Nikki grabbed Alicia by the hand and led her out of the bedroom.
"Shower, then we talk strategy," Nikki said, trying to sound confident.

"Where's our boy?" Jonah Hale asked as his new partner, Dr. Sofia Sorina entered his office.
"He is getting a well deserved rest, Jonah," the psychiatrist replied. "He did amazing work yesterday, and his strength is drained after such wonderful performances. And it allows us time to discuss things."
"Understood. He did do very well yesterday, but I do want to make sure he is not getting any ideas of his own," Hale answered. "Especially after yesterday's discovery with our little lovebirds."
"Yes, that is a surprise," Sorina answered. "But I suppose when you are in espionage you never really get out of that even if you retire and work on your own. But look on the bright side, our boy's interrogation landed you a federal agent who is very plugged into things."
"True," Hale said. "That little asshole, Assistant Director Bryant, is behind this investigation, according to our pretty little agent. It was what she wrote in her confession from Kingmsman last night."
"And why is this Agent Bryant looking into you, Jonah?" Sofia asked.
"He was pissed that I promoted someone over him 15 years ago," Hale said. "He was a little ass kissing jackass then, and I am sure that has not changed one bit."
"I see," Sofia replied calmly. "Our little lovebirds programming is complete this morning."
"That's excellent," Hale said. "I was waiting for you to see them in their room."
"Perfect, then let's see them," Sofia said, as Hale moved from his desk toward the door. "You know, Jonah, paranoia isn't what we need right now."
The pair of slavers made their way to the apartment complex created in the building, just outside the programming room.
"Paranoia? Hardly. Caution is more like it. Especially when you have worthless little shits like Bryant looking into you," Hale reasoned.
"Well Jonah, one man's caution is another man's paranoia," Sofia cautioned. "What we need now is steady consistency as we ramp this up."
"I am steady, Doctor. I don't need your armchair diagnosis," Hale replied with purpose. "It is precisely this type of action that has gotten me here, and kept me out of the spotlight. And you as well, Your record is not exactly spotless. Now I will hear no more of your 'paranoia' nonsense."
"Of course, Jonah," Sofia said, taking out the keycard giving her access to everything on the floor as they approached the suite before them.
"Remember, Doctor, I was the one who spent a fortune rehabilitating your image," Hale said sternly as he grabbed his partner's elbow. "And I will not be made to regret it."
The Romanian psychiatrist nodded, looking at her partner with a look as if to say to never touch her this way. Using the keycard, Sofia opened the door and ushered Jonah Hale inside. What they saw amused the pair greatly.
"Why Agent Doherty, that is quite a powerful stroke you have there," Hale quipped as the pair entered the room. "You seem to be enjoying this very much."
Agent Cassidy Doherty stopped long enough to stop the spanking she was giving her fiance, Edward Meeks, who lay across her lap with a very red bottom and tears rolling down his face, before swinging again.
"Attention!" Hale shouted.
Agent Doherty dumped her fiance on the floor and immediately stood at attention, awaiting orders. Hale looked at the Doctor and smiled. She was wearing a simple, nondescript bra and panty set, accentuating her youth and figure.
Meeks simply lay on the floor, keeping his red bottom off the floor as he flopped in pain. Hale moved and stood in front of the blonde agent and smiled.
"Were you enjoying that, Agent?" Hale asked.
"Very much, Sir!" the agent replied with military precision.
"And what was our little computer nerd being disciplined for?" Hale asked.
"Sir, he left his work laptop out and left me access to it," the agent replied. "Nobody working for you should ever be careless with your equipment, Sir!"
"Excellent, Agent. Tell me what is your assignment as of now," Hale asked.
"Sir, I am to maintain my cover with the Agency, let them keep thinking I am working for them to find evidence against you. I will destroy any evidence found and keep you updated on what the investigation is doing, Sir!" the blonde agent responded.
"Where is your allegiance, Agent Doherty," Hale asked, knowing the answer but wanting to hear it for himself.
"With you, Sir!" the lovely blonde Cass Doherty replied.
"Of course it is, Agent," Hale said, eyeing the tall blonde from blonde head to perfectly manicured toe. "You are a very fine addition to our team."
"Thank you, Sir!" the agent answered.
"Now continue your discipline of our failure, here," Hale said. "He has been demoted. And for now, you will continue your cover as being engaged. But make no mistake- you are in control of this relationship, Agent. Discipline him as you see fit."
Meeks made it to his knees, and eventually to his feet, his naked rear end red and sore as Hale made his way in front of the demoted computer expert.
