After driving through the streets of Nulmara for about twenty minutes, the police truck pulled into the parking lot of what appeared to be a soccer field. They were being followed by about a dozen or so cars as well as three news vans.
Olivia was not looking forward to what was to come, but she was relieved that the car ride was over. It had been such a bumpy ride and her skimpy bikini top offered no support. Her tits were sore from all the bouncing.
Officers Letov and Amelin exited the vehicle and walked around to the back of the truck to get Olivia. Officer Letov let down the tailgate and hopped up into the bed of the truck. He grabbed Olivia's upper arm and pulled her up from her seat on the wooden crate. Her guided her toward the back of the truck but did not bother to take off her cuffs.
Olivia awkwardly crouched down. Officer Amelin reached up and grabbed her around the waist and began pulling her down and out of the truck. The bed of the truck was quite high up and Olivia could not feel the ground under her feet at first. She was worried she might fall and began to squirm.
"I've got you," barked Officer Amelin. He placed his right hand under the gusset of Olivia's thong and cupped her vulva in order to support her weight. She felt one of his fingers slip into the crotch of her bikini bottoms. The policeman continued to slide his finger right into her cunt. She squealed at the unexpected intrusion. Officer Amelin then set her down on the ground and chuckled as he patted her crotch. Olivia, flustered and embarrassed, stumbled backwards.
Officer Amein took her by her left upper arm and Officer Letov grabbed her right. They marched her onto the field and toward where the obstacle course was set up.
Olivia's heart was racing. She broke out into a cold sweat as the different structures for the obstacle course came into view. They escorted her over to where the starting line was.
Judge Thorsky and the two lawyers, who had driven to the sports field in their own separate cars, approached the trio standing at the starting line. "Glad to see you made it here without incident," Judge Thorsky said. "As you can see, this is the obstacle course you'll be running." He then proceeded to give her a brief overview of the course.
The first obstacle was a series of bars she would need to clear. She could either jump over them like hurdles or crawl under them. Olivia was not a sprinter, but this first obstacle did not look that challenging.
Next was a tall slanted wall. It was set up at a steep incline. She would have to scale the wall using a rope. Olivia began to feel quite apprehensive. She did not have much upper body strength. But the rope had large knots tied into it every couple of feet. So even with Olivia's lack of arm muscles, the rope would be easy to grab and hang onto as she pulled herself up. It would be challenging, but not impossible. Olivia was confident she could handle it.
Once she climbed to the top of the wall, she would be about twelve feet above the ground. Olivia gulped. She was not a fan of heights.
Next there was a series of twelve foot tall pillars. At the top of each pillar was thick metal spring. On top of each spring was a wooden board.
"So," the judge explained, "When you finish climbing up the rope, you have to jump from the top of the wall to the first springboard. And then jump from springboard to springboard." Olivia was going to have to do this twelve feet above the ground, until she arrived at the next apparatus.
It did not look that hard. The pillars with their springboards were not located that far apart from each other. But what if she fell? Olivia looked down at the ground below the pillars. There was a giant mud pit.
"If you fall into the mud," the judge informed her, "You must climb out and start again from the very beginning of the course."
Olivia inhaled sharply. She dreaded the idea of falling into the dark slimy mud down below. And then having to crawl out and start the whole humiliating process all over again.
"When you reach the final springboard, you will then have to jump to the next and final structure." The last obstacle was the monkey bars. Not that complicated or challenging, Olivia thought to herself. She used to swing from the monkey bars as a kid. But then she reminded herself that, while she certainly was not overweight, she did weigh much more now than compared to when she was a kid. And since she rarely worked out, she did not have the strongest arms. She got the sinking feeling that the monkey bars might be deceptively difficult for her.
The monkey bars were also located twelve feet above the mud pit. And even if she did manage to make it to the end of the bars without falling, there was a gap of a few feet between the last monkey bar and the platform, which indicated the end of the obstacle course. When she got to the last bar, she would probably need to swing back and forth a couple of times to build up enough momentum to jump onto the platform.
"So, if you can complete this obstacle course in under three minutes and forty-one seconds, you'll be free to go," Judge Thorsky said. "But if you fail to finish the course or if it takes you too long, you'll receive one day in the pillory, a mild flogging, and three days of community service. Is that clear?"
Olivia looked over at her lawyer, Mr. Kholod. "Isn't there another option?" she desperately asked.
"If you don't run the obstacle course, you'll get punished automatically," Mr. Kholod said with a shrug. Judge Thorsky nodded his head in confirmation. "You may as well just run the course and see what happens. If you complete it in time, you might be about to avoid your punishment altogether," her attorney suggested with half-hearted optimism.
Olivia looked over at the bleachers that were quickly starting to fill up with spectators. There must have been close to two hundred people. Not to mention the camera crews filming her for the local news stations.
Olivia wanted to point out that the very act of forcing her to run the obstacle course in a thong bikini was a humiliating punishment in and of itself. So there was really no way for her to avoid being punished. But she kept quiet, not wanting to rouse the ire of the stern judge. Her bottom was still sore from the spanking he had given her earlier.
"Officers Amelin and Letov are going to be watching you closely while you run the course, making sure that you don't cheat. Mr. Fukin, Mr. Kholod, and myself will be waiting for you on the platform at the end of the course. We'll announce if you finished it in time, which will then determine whether or not you get punished. Now remember, if you fall off any of the apparatuses, you must start from the very beginning again." Olivia gulped. "You may begin when you hear the gun go off."
