Constance got in the elevator with Ray. Demona had taken back her pink uniform, but Ray had found her clothes in Stallion's.
Which is why she was wearing a t-shirt with the words "Sweet Ass Bitch" in a rainbow of colors on the front. It was paired with a latex micro-miniskirt in a zebra pattern and five-inch stripper heels.
"You know, I was wearing a designer dress from Saks when you took me. Manolo Blahnik pumps. A Gucci purse. Probably $5000 worth of clothes."
The elevator door shut.
Ray pressed 10. "Sorry, they were probably burned - Ben was only after what was in the clothes."
Constance watched the numbers count up as the elevator went down. 2, 3, 4...
Her heart started racing. Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed Ray's big hand. "I... I've been here before... with you..." But that was just a dream! 5, 6, 7...
He pulled her close. "You remember that?"
8...
She hid her face in his big chest. What was wrong with her? "It was... real?"
Ray nodded and kissed the top of her head.
9...
She held her breath. Monsters were real. Days ago in this elevator, the doors had opened on level 9 and the monsters had almost taken her. Ray had saved her.
10. She could breathe again, but she stayed close to him. "I thought it was a dream." She looked up into his eyes. "You saved me."
Ray shrugged. "Well, sort of."
"Why?"
The doors opened.
He pulled her along into the hallway. "It's hard to explain. The Church wanted me to lobotomize you."
"What? Why?"
"You're... well, you're short."
"I am not! I'm five foot three!" She was sensitive about her height.
Ray laughed. "It's nothing personal, the Church just doesn't need as many... petite whores as tall ones."
Constance smiled. "You wouldn't let them... you saved me twice. Again, why me?"
He squeezed her hand. "There's something about you. Maybe I sensed you were one of us. Or, maybe I'm just a sucker for redheads."
"Am I? One of you?" She asked.
"Not quite. We're doing what we do to save the world, you're doing it for profit."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing. We all have nice things too, but we're giving back. You'll have to do that too, if you want to be one of us."
Constance frowned. "What if I don't want to?"
"Then, Doctor Constance Burns, you are the luckiest woman to ever set foot in this facility - because we will let you go and let you continue your evil ways." Ray smiled and brushed her red hair out of her eyes.
"Really?" She asked.
Ray nodded. "Or, you can stay here with us... with me." He ran his hand down her face. "We'll make you immortal. You will be loved, cherished."
"By you?"
"Yes, Constance. By me. I can only have twelve mates in my coven. That's forever. I already have four. You will be the fifth. Now, you won't be Constance. Sugar will erase your memory of being a dentist and your side business. You'll be my Rose. Forever."
She smiled and reached out. She traced the thick bulge in his pants. "I'm tempted, Ray. In that cell? With you?"
"You remember that too?"
She bit her lower lip. "Yes. Every second of it. I mean, I didn't know where I was or who I was. I thought it was a dream. But, yes, Ray. I remember it now. I mean you abducted me and I got off on it, I guess I am a sick fuck."
Ray laughed. "We all are."
She ran a finger down the front of his shirt. "And, as tempting as your beautiful cock is? I like who I am, Ray... I think I need to go back to my old life."
Ray sighed. "There is a third option."
"There is?"
"You go back to your old life, but as an agent of the Church of Morpheus. You'll still be my mate, but you'll be Constance. Actually, you'll be a White Witch like Sugar. You'll be immortal, strong, and able to control people with your mind."
Constance stared up at him. "I'd be like Sugar?"
"Yes. It would be like being a goddess. The catch is: no more freelancing, no more selling women to pimps, and no more drugs like molly."
"Oh, so I'd be a good guy?" She asked with a grin.
"Fuck no. We're evil. But we don't inflict unnecessary misery, and we don't tolerate people who do. We love our victims, and we give them back as much as we take. All those women we've turned into giggling bimbos? They are happy. Very happy."
"They're brainwashed."
"Yep. They are. But we brainwash them into being fulfilled, happy members of the New Order. What's better? Being truly happy, or being a nation of depressed, repressed, Prozac addicts?"
She looked up at him and smiled. "A White Witch, huh?"
"Yes. Maybe one of the most powerful beings on earth."
She took his arm. "So, how do we start?"
"Option 3?"
"Who am I to turn down being made into a goddess? But, tell me, the Church? They're okay with this?"
"Oh, yes. No problem."

"No! I absolutely forbid it!" Sister Asmodea roared in the conference room on level three. "You and Ray have overstepped your bounds, Sugar Tits! If Havana finds out, they'll lobotomize the lot of you!"
The skinny latex nun was trying her best to look imposing as she leaned on the table.
Sugar was unimpressed. "Asmodea, calm down."
"Do not tell me to calm down! Goddamn it, I am the Church in this fucking facility. How dare you unilaterally decide to violate Church doctrine."
Sugar looked across the table at Asmodea's thick counterpart. "Sister Alicia, why don't you take Asmodea back to your bedroom and eat the poor dear out. She obviously needs a good fuck - she's cranky."
Alicia looked up in confusion at her beloved.
Asmodea frowned. "She's trying to make a joke, Alicia. And failing. I am not cranky!"
Doctor Demona was sitting at the other end with her pink heels up on the table. "Yeah, you are."
"You! Be quiet. You of all people should know better - we know nothing about this woman. She is obviously a psychopath."
Demona giggled. "Really? Look around, you rubber penguin. The world is mad, and we are the maddest of all."
"A White Witch's IQ has to be..."
Sugar tapped her nails on the table. "Demona?"
"Constance has an IQ close to 180. She's a goddamn criminal genius. Perfect White Witch material. Only one smarter is Maria Marapova. Oh, sorry, Sugar. You're smart as a tack too."
"No offense taken, darling."
Asmodea deflated. "And, what about her people? What are we going to do with them?"
"We'll handle them on a one by one basis."
Asmodea sat down and laid her head on her arms. "We don't have permission to start a new recruitment center. Oh, God, when Havana finds out..."
"Just ask them."
"And, if they say no?"
"We'll do it anyway."
"Sometimes I hate you, Sugar."
"I love you too, you skinny bitch."

Ray opened a door near the lab where Constance had been held. He motioned her inside.
