The Fallen Part 8
Chapter 23 Impregnated Again
Monsieur, it is so nice to go to this restaurant again. It's good that it somehow stayed in business. I thought we would discuss something else over dinner but since you asked me to continue my story and that of what struck the City of Orange over the past eight years, I will oblige.
In short, Monsieur, I went through a third round of the sex, impregnation, more sex, time off, childbirth, a month break and started to repeat cycle as some changes began in the outside world. ...
Oh, you'd like to hear the details of the impregnation. Well, okay, but I will keep my voice down a bit. I don't think they are listening at the next table but you never know.
It began with Alice Wissen appearing again to announce that I was going off contraceptives and it was time for me to be bundled off to the McMasters mansion. I suggested, that in view of the fact that I had produced three genetically superior progeny for the master race that I should be treated with some respect this time and impregnated nicely and with dignity. In response, Wissen laughed and said, "Funny you should mention dignity."
Wissen went on to explain that McMasters had built a big new dining room. She said that the new equipment there offered plenty of entertainment for the people eating at the table but nothing but indignity for "the women to be used as decorations, those women would include you, sweety pie."
Alice further explained that the Helper's were very upset after new birthrate statistics had come out that showed that the national birthrate now is well under the population maintenance rate of 2.0. She explained that they were hopping mad about what they called "genetic suicide" and would be taking it out on what they called genetically superior woman who failed to have as many children as possible.
The next day, they had me put on some clothing and drove me back to McMasters mansion where all that clothing was promptly removed. I was led back to the bedroom where I had been inseminated before and left there with nothing but a bed, a bathroom, and a video camera attached to the ceiling. I would have been happy to find even a Gideon's Bible as some form of diversion. No such luck.
After some hours, there was a knock on the door. A lady who introduced herself as Mrs. Victoria McMasters, came in. She said I could call her Vicky. Victoria said it was almost time for me to attend the dinner.
Victoria was an attractive dark-haired woman with a shapely figure dressed in a tight formal dress cut to display much dΓ©colletage. The dress was adorned with an enormous diamond broach. Mrs. McMasters? I thought to myself. I had assumed that all of these old guys who thought they were benefitting the human race by knocking up young college-educated women had no wives or had wives above the age of 50 who were no longer attractive to youth-obsessed men.
Of course, I don't remember our exact words but I recall that the conversation with Victoria began with her saying that we should leave soon for what she called the exhibition room, but that she wanted to chat with me briefly. I glanced up at the video camera to make sure she knew of it. She acknowledged my glance by nodding. The conversation, mainly a monologue by Victoria, continued more or less as follows.
"My husband sent me here to ask you to come to the dinner out of some sort of whimsy or perhaps precisely because he knew that I would speak to you frankly," Victoria started. "I and two other wives of Spencer's Helpers are to attend the dinner. I think we are to be scared into more faithful obedience to our lawful lords by seeing the life of rebellious women. But it is really not necessary. Although, because of the current political situation, Martha Smith, Elizabeth Stewart and I had to give up careers and married more quickly than we might have done, we are now all perfectly happy as wives and mothers."
I nodded. There was a strange tense look in Victoria's face, a stern look in her eyes and a weird intensity about her person. I was worried that Victoria was crazy.
"We should leave now for the dinner," she said. "It's a bit of a walk to the new wing of the house where the exhibition hall has been constructed since the last time you were here. You will probably be a little chilly in the cold but I guess you are used to being nude in a wide variety of situations."
Victoria said the last sentence in a very catty and condescending manner but changed her tone as soon as we got outside, away from the video camera.
"I have been reluctant to have a third child so soon after my second. Robert, though, insists that I immediately produce another child as soon as possible as well as constantly show my fealty to him. He believes that I should be honored to produce as many children as possible by such a fit specimen of humanity. He has suggested that if I don't fall into line soon, I might soon find myself volunteering to become a sex worker and breeder at one of the big brothels. You were, of course, kidnapped and made into a sex slave, were you not, Stacy?"
I nodded carefully not knowing the safest response.
Victoria continued. "I thought as much. One or two prominent successful women flipping out to volunteer to work in a brothel would be just barely believable. That three or four-dozen such women would do such a thing is something that could only be believed by a very stupid woman or the average man. Also, among the group of men with whom my husband generally travels, it is silently admitted that there has been an active practice of white slavery going on in Orange. They always giggle when they pretend you and the others volunteered, freely discuss what women should next be forced to volunteer, and speak with open derision of those who believe the things that the City of Orange, the mobster businessmen and The Church say officially. They openly giggle about Mayor Murphy being Mayor Cyrus the Great or Pontius Murphy in the eyes of The Church."
She said quietly in my ear that she had had her nose full of being an obedient wife and did not think she would be enslaved. "The mayor and the brothels have said that they would not accept a woman with a young child and I have two. I think I might get out of the country with the children and McMasters might not even care much if he could snare another trophy wife elsewhere." I replied quietly to the effect that she should not rely too much on the statements of politicians and mobsters as to who was safe from kidnapping, particularly if the mobsters are given a green light to grab her by her husband. I added that there are worse things than being made into a sex slave and those things might be done very quietly and fatally.
When we reached the big room with a large dining table in the center, there were many people assembling from all directions. There were three of the men who called themselves Spencer's Helpers, two elegantly dressed women, Martha and Elizabeth, and three other sex slaves Donna, Connie Hunt and Priscilla. It seems that Martha was sent to fetch Donna, Elizabeth sent for Dr. Hunt and a large strong African or African-American man, whose name I later learned was Miles, accompanied Priscilla. After a few minutes, McMasters and two other of Spencer's Helpers entered from a side room along with Alice Wissen who was also dressed as though she was there to receive an Oscar. Three male servants soon followed.
After brief introductions, Victoria said to me in a speaking tone a bit louder than normal, "You must have a wonderful life with all of those hot sexual experiences and society. Of course, I am very happy with my wonderful husband who gave me such wonderful children and just gave me this beautiful broach."
A scary thought went through my head. An even scarier sight came into view. Around the dining room table like televisions at a sports bar were six scaffolds built to secure a person in an X position but with a little adjustable board that could be placed between one's legs. I knew that those things were not there to help me eat soup.
Cocktails were passed around to the six Helpers, the three wives of Helpers and Wissen. McMasters offered a toast to chaste and faithful wives and the ten sipped their drinks.
McMaster next said that they now had a bit of business to do. First, he explained, Donna, Dr. Hunt and I were to be taken to our positions. As I'd feared, we were led up stepladders onto three of the six scaffolds and securely locked in an X position with nothing to block access to any part of our bodies. It developed, though, that we were not the sole entertainment for the evening.
McMasters offered a second toast, this time to science and discovery of the truth. Again, ten people lifted their drinks only this time Robert McMasters threw the remainder of his drink between Victoria's breasts and said one word, "Whore."
