Natasha was getting nervous. Mr. Goode had received a letter from a Mr. Haas, explaining that Mr. Haas' arrival at Morgan House would be soon and unexpected. There was no time to get a guest chamber sufficiently prepared. Mr. Bell would be using Joan. Mr. Kant demanded Penelope and Carmella both, leaving only Irina and Anna for Mr. Haas to choose between. Perhaps she could talk to Mr. Bell. Natasha didn't trust Irina enough to handle a gentleman of Mr. Haas' caliber herself and Anna was nothing but a left over to be settled for by lesser gentlemen.
The letter did mention Mr. Haas bringing someone with him, so that was two guest chambers that needed to be prepared. The other party went unnamed. It was decided. Natasha needed to speak to Mr. Bell.
He would still be in the library. Natasha walked through the mansion with a nervous quickness, candle in hand as night had fallen swiftly. Joan was ahead with a candle of her own. The redheaded slut looked pale and nervous. She came up to Natasha and said, "I need to speak with you alone."
Natasha nodded. They went in to a closet and shut the door, talking in whispers. Natasha asked, "what is it?"
"I found a note," Joan whispered. "It said something about a resistance movement coming and to continue a mission."
"Do you have the note?"
"I panicked," Joan said, "I didn't want to be caught with it so I burned it. I found it in the door under the back stairs."
"Was the door locked?"
"No, it was open."
"Come with me," Natasha said. "Say nothing of the note to no one. Understand?"
Joan nodded. They diverted their course to the back stairs. The small door under them was still open. Natasha's bottom lip quivered. "I just stuck my head in to see if anyone was down there," Joan explained. "I didn't go in."
"It leads down to one of the cellars," Natasha said. "The alchemy cellar, only Mr. Goode and the master has a key. It looks like we have a traitorous slut in our midst. One of the sluts tried to poison the master. We now know why, but we still need to know how and who."
Joan shook her head. "This is too much for me. I just want to be fucked and used like I was meant to be. I can't solve mysteries."
"Well, you're going to have to," Natasha whispered. She went over and quickly closed the door. "If Mr. Goode or Mr. Bell find out about this, they'll send all of us to Black Lake. Pussy is cheap and easily replaced. Why bother wasting resources on a proper investigation when you can just throw all the pussy into a dungeon and buy more? It's been done before. Before, it could have been anyone, but a slut with ties to a resistance cell makes it a lot easier."
"It may have been another gentleman," Joan said. "I overheard Mr. Kant plotting with someone in the library, before I started assisting Mr. Bell. I don't know who it was. It could have been a gentleman or another slut."
Natasha didn't want to hear that, but she was glad that she did. "I'm going to ask Mr. Bell for permission to reassign you to Mr. Haas, who will be arriving shortly. Forget everything that has happened. You're just a dumb whore sucking cock."
Joan sighed in relief. That was all that she wanted to be. She thanked Natasha and quickly left to go back to the pussy chamber. Natasha remained at the staircase and looked at the door that should have been locked. Something was going on, but it was difficult for Natasha to see what it was.

It was two days later when Mr. Haas arrived with a young man of nineteen. They were both well dressed, the young man freshly shaven with a clean face. Mr. Haas wore side whiskers that were thick and authoritative. Natasha found Mr. Haas to be quite the handsome gentleman and the young man to be rather pale and odd looking. Mr. Bell had agreed to use Irina to assist him instead of Joan, who Natasha paired with Mr. Haas. Anna was paired with the young man as she was the left over that he would have to settle for. Unless the young man happened to be a lord, in that case, everything changed.
Carmella was upset. She came rushing up to Natasha as the icy blonde glided down the grand staircase in the foyer of the mansion. Carmella demanded, "why is that new slut paired with Mr. Haas? I'm the best piece of pussy in this mansion. I should be the one paired with Mr. Haas."
Natasha shook her head at her. "You are taking care of Mr. Kant right now."
"Mr. Haas is a far more important gentleman," Carmella complained. "I should be the one taking care of him."
"Has Mr. Kant been to the library recently?"
Carmella shrugged. "I don't know."
"Get back to Mr. Kant and keep your eye on him," Natasha told her. Carmella turned and started walking off but Natasha stopped her. "Carmella, I'm the best piece of pussy in this house and don't you forget it. Go."
Carmella stormed off. Natasha watched her disappear down one of the halls knowing that Carmella would be a problem one day. She very well might be a problem today. Natasha continued down the stairs almost forgetting what she was doing before she was interrupted by Carmella. Natasha was on her way to the library.
Mr. Bell was livid. He was shouting and red in the face when Natasha came in. Irina was crying by a bookcase. Mr. Bell turned right to Natasha and shouted, "the gypsy slut is completely useless! She's lazy and doesn't listen. The whore can barely suck a cock! Useless! Completely useless!"
"I don't know your books," Irina shouted back.
Furious, Natasha rushed over and slapped Irina across the face for daring to talk back to her better. She grabbed Irina by the hair and said, "you are going straight to Mr. Goode!"
Irina was forcefully dragged through the mansion by Natasha with the aid of Mr. Bell. They were the cause of a lot of noise and commotion. Irina was taken to the upper floor where Mr. Goode worked in the study. She was thrown into the room. Perplexed, Mr. Goode asked, "what is this?"
"This bitch had the audacity to talk back to Mr. Bell," Natasha explained. "She must be punished severely, sir."
