Descent Travel- This is Your Captain Speaking
"Cordelia Lance, you have been a very naughty girl..." the figure said as she approached the chair. "And such shoddy security... I had no trouble figuring out what you were doing..."
"Veronica Normandy," Cordelia said as she tested her bonds. "I always knew something was off about you..."
"Well if that isn't the pot calling the kettle," the shapely Auburn haired woman replied.
"Why am I here?" the tech CEO asked bluntly.
"You are right where I want you to be," Veronica said matter of factly. "We have much to discuss. Well, I have a lot to discuss, you'll mostly listen."
The founder of the anti-trafficking group that hosted a charity event where Cordelia Lance introduced Jenna Roberts to the world stopped a moment, as the Instructress took a step to Cordelia and bent over.
Instructress balled her right hand into a fist, and gave the CEO a short shot beneath the rib cage to knock the wind out of the pretty technology company owner. The woman who physically trained the original Descent Travel employees took an ankle cuff, attached it around the left ankle of the secured CEO, then tethered the cuff to the side of the gaming chair. Despite the kicking and thrashing of the beautiful tech guru, Instructress eventually secured both ankles, splaying the legs of the owner of the VR helmet technology she was destined to use herself. Instructress then took scissors and cut away the annoyingly bright pink yoga pants, exposing the mighty CEO for all to see.
"There is always a badder bitch on the block, you greedy, evil narcissist..." Instructress said to Cordelia before she turned to face Veronica.
"In this case, three badder bitches, Cordy..." the wealthy philanthropist added with a laugh, pointing to Cordelia Lance.
"Three?" Cordelia said questioningly.
"Yes, three..." a voice from the hall said, one recognizable to Cordelia Lance.
"Fuck, I should have known... Alicia Herrman," Cordelia said with disdain.
"Yes, it's me," Alicia Herrman said as she entered the room, nodding to Veronica and Instructress. "You really were an overconfident bitch, Cordy. Some things never change."
Alicia looked at Veronica and Instructress, a wide smile on her face.
"Is everything ready for Cordy, here?" Alicia asked, her smile widening.
"Yes, everything is set," Instructress said flatly. "Lube up the e stim vibrator, insert it, then put the VR helmet on, click run program on the computer on the desk. After 90 minutes, she will follow the commands discussed. She will even help you program herself further."
"Excellent work," Alicia Herrman said, brushing her hand along the shoulder of Instructress, who responded by tossing a set of mismatched keys on a keychain in the air to Veronica, who promptly caught them, then jiggled them at Cordelia with an evil smile.
Instructress glared, then moved away from Veronica, who was dressed casually, and said to Alicia "This makes us even....Lock the door on your way out..."
"I will decide when we are 'even'," Alicia said as Instructress never broke stride and headed out the door.
"So Cordelia, quite ironic, you showing up with the Barbie girl at the prevent trafficking event my charity held," Alicia laughed. "I have had an eye on you for quite a while."
"So what do you want? Money? My company?" Cordelia said, trying to bargain with a pair of twos in her hand against a full house.
"Bargaining, when you have no cards to play," Alicia teased. "Totally your style. I am afraid you won't buy your way out of this."
"Fuck you," Cordelia said, "You can't get away with this..."
"Cordelia, don't be so dramatic darling." her former college rival said laughing audibly. "And I am totally getting away with this."
"I have had people in your organization for quite awhile," Alicia said. "Who do you think AM Temp Agency is, Cordy? Alicia Mangini.. My maiden name. You don't even know who the owner of the temp agency your multi million dollar company uses is? It's no wonder you are tied up there, and I am standing here, laughing."
Cordelia had no immediate response, as she tried to break the bonds holding her in place with a loud grunt like scream.
"Amber, your latest temp, is one of my private security staff," Alicia responded. "I had her audition for you after I watched your little commentary on where you found Jenna... that smirk on your face when you said you found your new girlfriend at the home of your old girlfriend? I knew there was something more to that story..."
"No shit... well she isn't much of a security agent anymore," Cordelia lashed back. "She is a pretty talented little whore though."
Veronica Normandy laughed. Alicia smiled.
"To be honest, Cordy, she never was much of a detective," Alicia said. "She was used because she fit your profile type. She did get me a lot of valuable information though. Maybe she is better off now. Don't worry, she will be put to good use."
The older woman lubed up the e stim vibator, and inserted it in the immobile Cordelia Lance, who flinched at the cold lube. Next, she picked up the helmet and stood next to the CEO.
"You will be put to good use too, Cordelia...." Veronica added with a laugh.
"What the fuck is your game, you bitches?!?" Cordelia demanded.
"You missed the discussion on irony a few moments ago, Cordy," Alicia laughed. "I know what you have been doing, but there's really only enough room in this town for one queen bitch to kidnap, train and use people."
"Shit... so the whole charity is a scam..." Cordelia replied. "I'll be damned."
"We all, most likely, will be damned, Cordelia," Veronica retorted, pointing to Alicia as she replied. "If you believe in such things. But what you have done takes what we can do to a whole new level."
"What the fuck can you do?" Cordelia asked with venom, as she thrashed against the bonds holding her in place.
"What we have been doing, Cordy," Alicia Herrman replied. "Training people and selling them."
"And used that charity as a front... so you look like model citizens..." Cordelia said, sounding as if she was almost congratulating them for their scheme.
"Where better for the fox to hide than in the actual hen house?" Alicia replied, as she and Veronica laughed. "Veronica is the face, I am the funding. It's perfect. Even more perfect now that we have you..."
"And now, you shall see for yourself," the older, more experienced Veronica warned. "First hand, as a matter of fact. But enough of your delaying, Cordelia. Time for business now. You know the phrase 'you have a bright future'- well Cordelia Lance, you have a very dark future,,,"
Alicia Herrman took a Barbie doll out of her bag- a Barbie dressed in a pink business suit- but sporting a tiny little pink collar and leash around her neck.
"This was a very nice touch for Jenna, Cordy," Alicia said.
