7) The Scheme.
James
Tom is sitting in my car, right next to me, and I feel both furious and vindicated. I try to hide my emotions; I'm certain that the dark sunglasses are helping. I've always had a decent poker face... it's a must in my line of work... but hiding this sudden flood of emotions is a challenge, even for me.
I set my expression to a facade of humor and surprise... but what has happened isn't funny, nor is it particularly surprising.
Thomas finally collared his wife. I saw it plain as day when she gave him his lunch. 'Mister-High-And-Mighty,'
The Great Thomas Evans,
has finally stooped down and claimed his fatass wife as property.
Up until now, he's had nothing but vitriol for the men who collar women... I wonder how he feels now that he's one of us.
I wish I could just kick the shit out of him right now. He's a deplorable, fucking hypocrite. But I suppose that this is for the best. The goal has always been to convince him to give up this pointless crusade against the payload. His decision to collar his wife is just one step on that road.
He's staring at me with a sheepish, embarrassed look. He's such a pussy. Finally, he makes the right decision for once. He puts his wife at his feet where she belongs, and the act has wounded him. I hate that I was ever friends with this shit-head in the first place.
"So I guess you saw the... uhh..." he gestures to his neck, "...collar on Rachel."
I nod. "Yeah, buddy. What's up with that?" I try to keep my face blank. I can't give anything away.
"Yeah, well. That was... umm... that was an unfortunate thing. But it had to be done, I'm afraid. A guy tried to collar Rachel, yesterday."
Behind my glasses, my eyes widen. "No shit? That's unusual. She's clearly married. Most guys wouldn't try a ballsy move like that."
"Well someone did. Ro-Ro saved the day, apparently. She started crying and scared the guy off when people started looking, I guess. Rachel said that the payload was commanding her so intensely, that she almost gave in."
"Wow!" My voice is full of more surprise than I really feel. Of course some guy would try to collar Rachel. She's a bit overweight, but she naturally has a beautiful face. It's nothing that a little forced diet and exercise can't fix.
And of course Rachel would want to submit. The payload only encourages the natural order. All female sluts belong on their knees. It just took a little computer program to remind them of that.
I don't blame the guy who tried to catch Rachel, either. If she's walking around with a wedding ring and no collar, then
clearly
her husband must be a little pussy-bitch who's too weak to secure his own property. Exhibit A? Thomas "Pussy-Bitch" Evans.
"I can't stand to lose her, Jim. She's my world. She and Rosemary are the reason that I'm fighting so hard to stop the payload. If I lost one of them, I don't think I could make it in life."
I say nothing. I wanna hear all of his thoughts before I make my next move.
"I know how much we both hate the payload, Jim, but I felt like I was running out of options. Rachel was begging for me to collar her, in order to save her from being stolen away from me."
I can tell that he's looking for approval, for acceptance. I won't give it to him. Not yet. If he ever discovers that I actually love the payload, then his trust in me will completely evaporate. That will ruin everything. I continue to stare at him, emotionless.
"I did come up with a compromise, though!" He says, defensively. "I got Rachel to make a list of rules highlighting how she wanted me to behave as her master. As long as I keep my word, and treat her like she requests, then I've maintained at least a portion of her autonomy, right?"
At the moment, I am eternally grateful for these sun glasses. If it weren't for them, Tom would
definitely
be able to see the disgust in my face. This man is a quivering pussy. A weak-willed, pathetic excuse for a man. If he didn't have a child already, I'd swear he has nothing between his legs.
Hell, maybe his daughter isn't even his. I bet Rachel got knocked up by a neighbor, just to feel a
real
man's touch for once. That wouldn't surprise me. Because Tom is anything but a real man.
Hiding my repulsion is one of the hardest things I've ever done. "What rules did she give you, buddy?"
Thomas shrugs. "Mostly petty shit, honestly." He chuckles, "I was expecting her to add all the human rights that she wanted to maintain... but it was mostly about chores and stuff." I see his countenance fall a bit. "And she banned some sex stuff that she's not into... so that sucks."
Okay, now I understand. Tom is actually retarded. What kind of fucking idiot would take a
gift-wrapped
pleasure machine, and then allow half the settings to be turned off?
We've already reached the city, and we're getting close to the Bureau's Field office; I'll be glad to get out of this car. I need to get away from Tom before his faggotry rubs off on me.
I need to brief Bogart on the developments Thomas has made with the case. So far, we've been able to hamstring his efforts without him noticing. Feeding him misleading information and secretly hampering his progress has been like
