Chapter 6: Herod's Whore
I woke up naked in a dimly lit room lying on my back on a hard mattress with a large pillow under my ass. Despite the lack of clothes, I was sweating in the warm room. My head was still spinning from all the Molly that had been added to my water bottle at the Velvet Groove, and I saw flashes of color in the dark shadows. My stomach ached from Herod's blow. I wanted to curl up in a fetal position but couldn't move. My wrists were tied together over my head. and secured to the bed frame. My ankles were each fastened to a corner of the bed. The ropes weren't tight, but they only had a little play. I tugged on the knots, but they were securely tied. I wanted to scream for help, but I was gagged by a hard rubber ball that I couldn't push out of my mouth.
I was terrified. Now I knew Herod was the box cutter murderer, and he had me captive. I was going to be his next victim. I wept as I jerked on my bindings, over and over. All I managed to do was to wear myself out and tear the skin on my wrists. I pounded my head against the firm mattress and sobbed. I remembered the coroner's pictures of Inesa's corpse. I could feel the blade slicing down my chest, across my stomach, right through my clit and all the way across my anus. I whimpered into my gag and arched my back. I pulled hard on my bindings hoping to break the metal bed frame or the thick rope. The room spun around as I hyperventilated and passed out.
I woke up with water pouring on a thick towel covering my face. I couldn't breathe through the water-logged cloth. The gag in my mouth didn't prevent water from flowing into my gasping mouth. I was going to die, and I didn't even know who was killing me. My body began shaking with terror. I saw a light in the distance and started running toward it. I felt a sense of peace as all my life's pain faded away.
The wet cloth was ripped away from my face. A bright light blinded my sight. The gag was pulled from my mouth, and I gasped for air. Someone moved in front of the light. I blinked and tried to make out their face.
I heard Herod's voice, "Welcome to my home, Jean. You've been out for almost two hours, and it's time to get down to business. I spent everything I had and more for two girls from some fucking backwater Eastern European country. David or one of those fucking Jackson brothers killed Inesa, and then you helped Samuel steal Marian from me. So now you're working for me until you pay off what I lost on the two girls. From now on, you are Krystal. You're my whore, and we can do this the easy way or the hard way."
I turned my head to look at the knot securing my wrists. It looked like handcuffs made from rope. The knot wasn't anything an Eagle Scout would tie. I felt relief. Perhaps Herod wasn't the boxcutter killer.
"No, you're making a mistake. I'm not a whore. I wasn't working for Samuel, and I won't work for you. I'm Professor William's intern. He thinks David is innocent of Inesa's murder and he's trying to get him freed. We found out you followed Inesa the night she was murdered. I just wanted to find out what you saw. The professor knew you wouldn't talk to him. We thought you might talk to me if I worked as a waitress at the Velvet Groove. Maybe I just should have asked."
"Dumb bitch, you're wasting your time. I didn't see anything. Jamel and Yousef have a bad habit of stiffing working women. I followed them because I was planning on teaching them a lesson. They led Inesa into a condemned house that was used by prostitutes, homeless people, and drug addicts. I had been inside once to buy heroin for one of my girls. I thought it was boarded up tight with only one entrance. I waited outside planning to surprise the deadbeats on their way out. After an hour, I went inside. I found out someone had smashed their way through a heavy board sealing the back door. The bastards were gone, and they took Inesa with them. I never saw her again. Inesa died in an abandoned building a block away from the crack house. The police found David in an alley near where she died. He was covered in blood and incoherent. The cops charged him with Inesa's murder. I have no reason to believe they didn't get the fucker who butchered my girl, and nothing has happened since to change my mind."
Herod hadn't provided me with any new evidence that David was innocent, but Professor Williams had never convinced me that the young man on death row was innocent either. I had never met David and didn't have any feelings about the young man. All I wanted was proof of his guilt or innocence so I could get credit for my internship. Unfortunately, one hard-earned piece of information after another had proven useless. I had no reason to disbelieve Herod. But it didn't matter anyway. Once again, I had learned nothing of use in a courtroom, and it looked like I would once again pay a high price for being the Professor's flunky.
I tugged on my bindings, "Could you please untie me. I think we both made a mistake."
Herod sat on the edge of the bed next to my hips. His hand cupped my bare crotch, and he rubbed my hairless pussy as he continued to talk.
"Damn, you are a dumb cunt. Just how do you think I made a mistake? I know you fucked half the front line of the Eagles your first night on the streets working for Samuel. I must hand it to him having you work the Velvet Groove to interview me. However, he made a couple of mistakes. His biggest mistake was putting his trust in the bartender. John despises Samuel and couldn't give a shit about protecting you since you don't work for him. Who do you think was doping your water with Molly all night long? Sure, as shit, there is nothing that wrong with the tap water in North Philly."
Herod had tied me loose enough that I could squirm under his touch but not loose enough to escape his probing fingers. I groaned as he eased a couple of fingers into my moist vagina. Judging from my body's intense reaction, I was still under the influence of the massive amounts of Molly my supposed protector had slipped me.
I jerked as my captor flicked my clit with his thumb, "Oh fuck no! Please, let me go. Oh God, please stop."
He laughed and explained how he had abducted me. "Samuel's second mistake was forgetting about the fire escape that led to my car parked behind the building. Jasmine did an excellent job of having the bouncers guard the doors, but she also forgot about the fire escape from the back room on the second floor."
"Herod, you're the one who is making a mistake. Professor Williams will alert the police as soon as Samuel tells him you took me."
The pillow under my ass forced my body into an arc. My back bent further as I drove my hips up to meet his thrusting finger. Oh god, the pleasure was too intense. I wondered if the massive amount of Molly I had been given had permanently rewired my brain.
"Krystal, why do you think I keep moving around? No one knows where to find me. I doubt the police will even bother to look for you, but if they do, they'll lose interest after they raid my last apartment and find it empty with no forwarding address."
I groaned as his fingers began caressing my clit in earnest. He forcefully thrust the thick fingers from his other hand into my dripping wet vagina.
"I need to get you working soon so I can pay for three new young girls I want to buy from Moldovia. Judging from your resistance, Samuel did a poor job of breaking you in. Fortunately, that is my specialty, and I've lined up some friends who are eager to help. I'll have you happily servicing Johns in nothing flat."
He stood up and dropped his clothes. I watched him peel his foreskin back and give his cock several quick strokes. I remembered him fucking me hard in the club, but he had taken me from behind. Now that I could see his big fat cock, I was afraid. His cock wasn't as long as Jamel's or Yousef's, but his dark brown cock was thick. It might even be wider than the monster the big black guard from the Philadelphia Eagles had shoved into me.
"You're too big. You'll break me."
"Oh, I intend to break you and break you fast. I'm not worried about hurting you with my cock. You loved it when I fucked you before. Hell, it's not even as big as the beer bottle you sucked into your pussy. If you can take that bottle without any problems, you can handle my cock."
Herod shoved the hard gag back in my mouth and crawled between my legs. I whimpered as he pressed the tip of his cock against my pussy. I couldn't see what he was doing, but I felt his fingers spread my engorged labia. All the while he pressed his thick cock hard against my tight opening. Herod grunted when the head of his cock plunged into my tender vagina. He didn't pause. He kept pressing. I was thrashing around on the bed straining against my bonds. My twisting only helped his progress. I hated the way my body began to respond, but I knew I had been intensely aroused ever since I had downed my first bottle of Molly laced water at the Velvet Groove.
