Derek resigned himself to an extended wait when they entered the doctor's office. There were half a dozen women waiting in varying stages of pregnancy. He sat down and picked up a magazine while Sarah escorted Kat to the desk. They returned with a clipboard holding several sheets of paper. Sarah and Kat filled out the sheets then had Derek sign on the line that authorized the doctor to treat his slave. Five minutes after they turned the papers in they were called. Ten minutes later, the two women returned. Kat was rubbing her right butt cheek. "They had it ready for her. All it took was for Kat to drop her pants and bend over and the nurse gave her the injection." Sarah offered as explanation. "She'll get a full exam later. We'll need an appointment for that."
"Let's have a drink." Derek suggested. Sarah was puzzled for an instant as he pulled into the parking lot of the Rhino's Horn. Reading the sign she understood. He wanted to check on his one male slave, Chad. She had heard about the man but never met him. Derek asked the woman bartender if Steve was around. He gave her his name.
"Oh, hi, Mr Robichaud. Of course. He is in the office. My name is Sandy. I'm Steve's sister. He brought me on board almost a month ago." She stepped through a door in the back corner and was back in a moment. She asked if they wanted anything to drink. As she fixed their drinks, she said, "Darren is working on another business so Steve offered me a job as assistant manager. Well sort of assistant and chief gofer. I take it you are here to check on Chad." Derek nodded.
Sandy told him Chad was doing more bartending nowadays than his back room duties. "Oh, I have him go back every now and then, just to remind him of his place." she said with a grin. "But most of the time he is behind the bar. We keep him full time at our place. Well I guess I should say Steve and Darren's place but I live in the cottage out back. Rob sort of rented Chad to me. We split what Chad makes after deductions." This was news to Derek. He asked about the last time Rob had checked on Chad. "Oh, they talk every week, but Rob is trying to get his shit together himself. He got himself a girlfriend. He changed jobs and has learned to save a bit instead of spending his money as fast as he earns it." Derek got a laugh out of that and offered that the whole family had a problem with saving money.
"I have no objections to the deal you made with Rob." Derek said. "If you are willing to do the work of supervising Chad for half the money, that is up to you. You do have a slave owner's license don't you?" Sandy shook her head and disclosed she did not know she needed one since Steve did. "Get one. Today if you can. The test is easy. This slave's mother just had a few years added to her enslavement for not having one. Of course it wouldn't have been more than a fine if not for the felony charges she faced." He explained a bit about the case. Steve arrived and shook Derek's hand. He listened to the story.
"We just had a delivery. I was busy checking in the boxes when you arrived. Chad and my other two boys are putting them where they belong then he will be out." Steve said. "It shouldn't take them more than five minutes to finish." Derek asked about Darren starting another business. "Yeah, his brother has a real estate brokerage. They were looking for somebody to keep the lawns maintained for the properties they manage. Darren is setting up crews to do that. He thinks he can branch out a bit. Just another project. He says he can always sell the slaves and equipment. The hard part is getting slaves for a reasonable price. He went to the parish auction and said their starting price is way too high."
Derek told him about the slave sale where he bought Cheryl and Karen. "There were a lot of males there. The good thing is you can check them out better than at a regular auction. You know something about them other than why they were convicted. Buying second hand slaves is the way to go. You can get some great deals from people who decide they don't want to own a slave after all." Chad walked out into the main bar area. Sarah barely suppressed her amusement.
Obviously Sandy had not relaxed Steve's original requirement for his 'boys' to be made up. Chad wore a little satin vest and hot pants that accentuated his bulge. His face was made up in an effeminate manner. He had no visible body hair and the hair on his head was cut into an effeminate style. He had sandals on his feet. He was obviously not pleased to see Derek but came over to the table where the group sat when Sandy beckoned. Sandy told him to pull up a chair and sit. "This is a health and welfare inspection to make sure I am taking care of you." Sandy announced with a grin. "I hope I pass. Derek might just spank my ass if I don't pass muster." she winked at Derek and smiled. She told Steve what Derek had said about her needing a license. Steve thought that might be a good idea. In the bar his license was all they needed, but since she had Chad staying with her in the cottage, it would be best for her to be licensed as well. Derek said it looked like Chad was in good hands and had found his spot. "Well, I'm keeping him in check." Sandy said with a grin. "I did have to whip his butt for listening to some dumb coon ass slave a friend of mine brought by the house, though." Chad looked down, embarrassed. "This coon ass had heard about some place out in the swamp where slaves can go hide. He was telling Chad that out in the Atchafalaya basin there is no cell phone coverage, so slaves who run out there can't be located and can live free."
Derek began to laugh. "Ahhh, Shangri-La in the swamp. That is almost as big a hoax as the chupacabra. Chad, I would have thought you'd have payed more attention in slave camp. You need to constantly charge your collar. You'll get shocked if the power level falls too far then it fries your neck before it fails completely. Somebody would have to run into the city for gasoline to run the generators, so that means plenty of support from free people. Why would anybody run the risk of being enslaved themselves? Plus I think you will find that part of the charging process needs a cell phone to connect. You can't even read the power level without one. Hey, don't let me piss on your parade. Go play in the swamp. See how long you last." Derek shrugged and grinned. Chad's face turned red as he realized he was indeed a fool for even entertaining the thought.
They talked a little more and Derek said it was time for them to go and asked for his bill. They had each had a couple drinks. "Oh, no. On the house, Derek." Sandy said quickly. "Stop by anytime and bring Sarah. We are trying to make the Rhino's Horn more of a pan-sexual establishment than just a gay bar. I'm bringing in more of my bisexual and lesbian girl friends too. We would like to see more straight customers who don't care how others fuck." Sarah smiled and explained that she had always considered herself a lesbian until 'getting involved with' Chad.
Before they left Derek told Steve to have Darren call him. He had a proposition for the man. At Steve's puzzled expression, Derek explained. "I have some brush I need removed and I need to have a path cleared. It would give him some income plus practice getting his boys to work as a team." Steve said he'd have Darren call that afternoon.
"So that was Chad." Sarah mused as they left. She explained to Kat who had sat quietly listening throughout their stay, all about Chad's back story. "He's in good hands with Sandy. Obviously she is bi-sexual." Derek asked her why she thought that. "She is not only comfortable working in a bar where the clientele are mostly in an alternative lifestyle, she likes her men effeminate. Best of both worlds. Plus she was checking out Kat and me."
"As long as she keeps Chad away from us," Derek said. "she can do what she wants with him. Well, anything legal."
