Molly's Labours
The email had been precise and explicit. Molly had read and re-read it.
'This is your first 'labour', other tasks that will allow you to progress to your ultimate reward.
The Court of Midnight does not admit beautiful young women unless they can 'prove' themselves to be an asset.
By completing the tasks, we have laid out for you, you demonstrate your suitability to face the court. Many pretty, smart girls have confessed their desire to face our 'select little group' but not all have that 'special' quality.
Be at the specified hotel room by eight precisely. The door will be unlocked for you. You will undress and show your body to the web cameras that will be set up. Don't even think you could trace them, we have far more resources than even you could imagine.
You will be joined by two of the court. Follow their instructions to the letter. If they are satisfied with you. We will contact you again. Miss Hennessey.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THE COURT WILL BE WATCHING YOU.
THE COURT IS ALWAYS THERE.
THE COURT IS EVERYWHERE.
Molly felt quite alarmed about the sense that the elusive 'Court of Midnight ' was everywhere. But she, then considered that those words were designed to put her on edge.
It worked.
She picked up her phone. She thought to call her editor. Thinking again, she opened the WhatsApp and typed in a secret PIN and sent a text.
"Contact 8pm Marriott off A12" Molly pressed send. Her editor would open the message via the PIN and Molly put the phone down,
She stood up and went to sit at her dressing table.
"Are you really up for this?" She questioned her reflection.
Molly was an attractive, pixie cut brunette with a good figure. She was everything she needed to get ahead in the world of independent journalism; ambition, looks, a good intellect and a desire to prove herself.
Her father had always described her as having gumption. His death earlier that year had spurred Molly to get the story that would make her father proud. She had aced her qualifications as a prerequisite for writing as a journalist for the 'Metro-Online News Outlet Division'.
All Molly knew was that she was an independent journalist with no income unless she filed stories that were published. If they liked her stories or managed a a 'scoop' they would take her on full-time.
So only a scoop would do! Molly wanted to make her mark! Make a splash! as he father had put it. He'd been a foreign correspondent in the 70's and had covered some hot stories and still suffered from the shrapnel wound, he picked up in the deserts around the Golan heights.
Molly sat and focussed her attention on her make-up. She would go subtle and natural. Her soft brown eyes were highlighted carefully and she chose colours to accentuate her elfin features. She stood up and looked at herself. She threw off her terry cotton robe and looked at her body.
All her previous boyfriends had enjoyed her body and their sex life. Molly had perky 32C tits, with neat chocolate coloured areole. Her nipples rose to their erect state, like small, upturned noses. She liked her tits, she enjoyed how they felt when they had been stroked and played with. She would get wet quickly when they were licked and sucked. But most of all she enjoyed them being pulled and tweaked between fingers and thumbs. She often orgasmed quicker, when her lovers, who fucked her hard and pulled on her nipples.
She cast her eyes down to her toned stomach and her shaved bare pubis. She brushed her hand across her mound, trying to find any stubble or stray hairs. There were none. She smiled and brushed her puffy little labia. She liked her camel toe shape and would put on tight panties to show off herself tonight.
She would show the 'Court'- she had assets.
The Court was supposed to be a myth. Her editor had told her, her one, good, friend at the office had her and even her research had given not a single clue. But Molly had not given up. Micky, her erstwhile friend, and colleague had asked her out on date and had been shot down. Molly didn't want a boyfriend and told Micky just that.
"We can be friends" Molly had said to him over a beer at the local bar, near the office.
"Story of my life!" Micky moaned.
For two solid weeks, Molly had cajoled him into helping her to find out about 'The Court of Midnight'. A shadowy organisation that had links all over the world and were supposed to have criminal ties to trafficked women. Molly wanted this story, she had scoured the internet and picked up a trace here and there. But nothing definite.
Until, lock-down hit the UK.
Odd phrases and references had begun to appear on the net about women, formally trafficked, being moved around Europe and the World. She had to put this little obsession to one side and do it in her spare time. But she knew it would be gold.
The Court Is In Session.
Molly had been stumped at first. She had filed stories about excessive police fines during lock-down and had found out that households had been breaking the rules and holding illegal gatherings. She, then, found out about a 'informal' brothel had been operating in a stripped out bus. That had caught her editor's attention. He had called her after proof-reading her story.
"Molly, that was a pretty nifty story you've uploaded." The editor had really enjoyed the little details about the girl's lack of apparel.
Molly smiled and switched the phone to her other ear. She knew what he liked. Like a lot of men- it was all 'tits and arse' but it had got her noticed. She's had to work for it though. One of her informants at the local cop-shop had texted her and said that the 'word' was out that a coach was cruising between the two big towns.
With that snippet, she had texted around other independent reporters and was surprised to discover that they had heard rumours but nothing concrete. As luck would have it, she remembered a girl she had interviewed about the 'illegal' gatherings and managed to meet up with her.
Late Thursday night, tucked under a park gazebo, she had learned something on the 'Court'. A group who was setting up illegal, anti-lock down gatherings. The girl, Suzy had been recruited to be one of the 'entertainments'. Quizzically, she would be referred to as 'furniture'. She would be contacted and then be picked up by this roving sex shop.
Molly was now intrigued. What an unusual and obscure reference. 'Furniture'? It itched in the back of her brain.
Molly had convinced Suzy to give her the location and she would join her at the pick-up. She had only a day to prepare. She thought she could blag it and get on board and see what was going on. It had cost her eighty quid, she could ill-afford but thought it was a gamble worth taking.
Suzy was a slight blonde with a trim figure, and as slutty as you like, Before Lock-down she had a good income as an escort but Covid had shut her down and she's had to perform sex acts on herself online, but the money wasn't good enough and the internet was filled with virtual porn. Molly had written a small piece on online porn during Covid and had struck up a mutually beneficial relationship with her. She'd even got her divorced editor a date with her, to verify her as an informant, of course. Benny, her editor was very impressed with himself and Suzy.
Molly waited in the rain alongside Suzy in uncomfortable high-heeled shoes; lacy hold-ups, short skirt and a tight top. She had spiked up her pixie haircut and slapped on just enough make-up to look the part. Suzy was in a mood as she thought Molly looked just a bit too good. Molly reminded her that she wasn't going to be paid and still she cursed that every chap on the bus would want to fuck her.
Molly looked appropriately shocked but inwardly smiled and agreed. She was a good, if not a great fuck. However, Molly had a plan to get out of that bus. She wolfed down a handful of tablets. Suzy looked shocked.
"Are you into drugs then?" Suzy laughed" You take the morning after pill. Afterwards!" She chuckled.
Molly swallowed the last of the pills. "Don't be silly, they're my 'get-out-of-bus-free-card. They're antihistamines. "Suzy looked confused.
"The antihistamines are allergy pills, but they can raise your body temperature. So rather than having to suck off twenty guys tonight. I can complain of feeling hot and put on a cough. If they're as clever as I think they are, they'll dump me somewhere. I've got a mate in a car waiting. I'll phone him." Molly had convinced Micky to give up a night out to help her. At least, he would see Molly in slutty outfit.
