Derek's heart was warmed that each slave commiserated with Wanda, telling her she wished Wanda would get set free. None of the women appeared jealous. He knew each wished she was the one eligible but they also knew they were all guilty of their own crimes. Wanda was the sole exception. He overheard Rhonda say. "God! I hope you get free. I hate to lose you but I want to see you walk away a free woman. You fuck'n deserve it, girl!" Louis Fontenot was working the case with Lou.
Wanda and Bonnie approached him the first night. "If I am not your slave anymore, will you still help Bonnie get through school?" Wanda asked. "I mean at least until I get on my feet. Then I can pay you back."
"Sure, as long as she indentures herself to me for the next five years." Derek said. Then he cracked up at their stricken expressions. "I could not resist. Of course I would not do that to the girl. I will pay for her schooling just like I promised." Then he paused and grinned. "Maybe I ought to think about a good punishment for you for even thinking I might go back on my word. I am considering having you report to my room every night for a week. I'll have to think about it."
"Oh, yeah, take me to me to bed and fuck me senseless. Teach me a lesson, Boss!" Wanda giggled. Then Wanda turned to her daughter. "You know we have sex."
Bonnie grinned. "Yeah. I was just thinking about volunteering to screw him to pay for my education. Especially if he lets me live here. That's not prostitution. It's just working for my keep." Wanda had a brief expression of shock her daughter was even saying such a thing and then laughed when she realized Bonnie was joking.
"I might have to bounce that idea off Sarah and Lou. Playing with the slaves is fine but a free woman, well... they might see that as cheating." Derek offered, going along with the kidding. Privately, he thought Bonnie's comment might have been half serious.

Sarah wanted to go along when Derek picked Richard up Monday. His flight would not leave until late afternoon so they had a few hours to kill. Derek wanted to have a little heart to heart with the man. He wanted to develop an understanding of what he expected and what he intended for Richard's future. He knew Richard would harbor some major anger issues. His resentment was inevitable. Of course, Richard was smart enough to make sure his animosity and especially his future intentions would be well hidden. But Derek wanted to mitigate that a bit. He wanted Richard's cooperation.
Later, before Richard was finally set free Derek would issue a few threats of his own. Like if something ever happened to anybody in Derek's family he would know at whose feet to lay the blame. He also knew that a carrot went a long way to get cooperation.
Richard blushed seeing Sarah standing in front of him as he stood nude in the induction's center modified 'present' position. It was a modified military 'at ease' position. The hands were folded in the small of the back but instead of spreading the feet eighteen inches or about shoulder width apart, "present' required a full two feet or better, completely exposing the groin.
When Richard was first taught the position he wondered who devised it. Did the person just want the groin exposed to maximize humiliation or did the person realize one could easily kick the exposed person in the groin. Nobody could shift their weight to cover his groin fast enough for at least the first full blow to the balls. It certainly made him feel vulnerable whenever he was ordered to assume the position.
Derek motioned to have Richard follow them to the lobby where Richard was allowed to dress. He was given the track suit he had worn to the facility. That told him they would go somewhere else before he was taken to the airport for his return flight home. He was not wrong. Derek intended to take him home for a while.
"Tell me about your experience." Derek said before they got to the car.
"I'm sure you already know." Richard said sullenly. "They beat my ass, fucked me over and made me suck cock several times. Ms Dubois told me she was gonna punish me for screwing with you years ago. I had to ask the washroom guys to use a bigger nozzle for my enemas. They did, giggling at my pain the whole time. I got my asshole stretched wide and my guts washed out three out of the four days I was there. I was taken to what they called the staff break room every evening to suck cock there too. I can't tell you how many of the guards or staff I did in there. That was in addition to the guys in my class. Even when nobody screwed up, the guards would occasionally make us pair off and suck the other. We had to make our partner cum. Cheating wasn't allowed. The first day two guys tried by saying the guy swallowed, and we all got our butts strapped.
"Sounds like you at least got off several times yourself.' Sarah offered. "Beats being in a cage, huh?" Richard did not answer, wondering if the question was rhetoric. "Okay, I have the report about your behavior I asked for. I have not read it yet. Do you think it will say you were a bad boy? You know that means a makeover and getting your butt marked."
"You and I both know you intended to tattoo my ass from the get go." Richard said, sullenly. "And all that other crap, too. What did you call it? ... a full makeover? So let's get on with it."
"Actually, asshole, I ALWAYS make an effort to be fair when I set a penalty." Sarah gritted, now angry. "The mark on our asses is something all the women wear. Me included. Unless you got a bad report, I was NOT gonna do that to you but you had to run your mouth. Now about the makeover, you will get part of that too since you so nicely volunteered. I MAY let you substitute some of it." Sarah tapped her phone. "Yeah, Sue, it looks like I will keep that appointment after all. I'm not sure how far we will go but the boy just volunteered for the tat. Yep. Tell Gloria I want the full tat not the superficial semi-permanent makeup type."
"You mean you really didn't already decide to do all that stuff to me?" Richard asked, querulously.
"Nope, I told you I am fair. So is Derek. But you made your bed so you will lie in it." Sarah said. Richard sat slumped back in his seat knowing his big mouth had written a check his ass had to pay, literally.
A half hour later Richard found himself laying naked, face down on a low table. His right butt cheek was swabbed with alcohol and a transfer was applied. That would give the tattoo artist a template for the design he would likely wear forever. He had thought the emblem cute on Karen's ass, but had NO desire to have it adorn his own buttock. Once the symbol had been stamped indelibly into his flesh, Sarah ordered him to be lathered with hair growth inhibitor from the neck down. "Or do you want to volunteer to have it applied to your whole head and face too?" she asked. "All you have to do is make another comment." He shook his head. He had liked having a mustache and until his head had been shaved to go on the auction block, he had never been totally bald. He had only thought about doing it one time in college when a few of his friends bet their hair on the outcome of a football game.
Sarah was pleased with the results of his treatment. "Okay, Richard. How about we open this report? Want to make a little wager? Like nipple rings for a bad report? Or do you want to tell me I am cruel and gonna do that to you anyway?"
"I'm sorry for my earlier statement, Ma'am." Richard said politely.
Sarah nodded. She opened the envelope and began to read. She got to the conclusion Rachael had written. She read part of it out loud. "Richard was surprisingly well-behaved. He made an effort to be compliant despite his obvious humiliation. I even ordered him to request a larger enema nozzle like I did for a few of Derek's other slaves. The report I received was he asked the tech immediately and politely."
"Wow! Richard. I am impressed. Had you not run your mouth earlier, we three would be sitting drinking beer.. Well you and Derek would be drinking beer. I can't. Instead you have a new tat and a smooth hairless body for a few months." Sarah grinned at him.
Instead of going home Derek decided to go to a bar. He chose the Rhino's Horn. Steve greeted Derek with a hug. Derek returned the hug suspecting by Steve's smirk, the man was purposely trying to make him a little uncomfortable especially when he held the hug longer than necessary and made a little extra effort to rub up against him. Steve grinned then broke out laughing. "Well you DID take my assistant manager away from me." Steve said. "With Darren running his lawn service company, MY job has got one hell of a lot more difficult." His grin widened. "But Sandy says she could not be happier. She is thrilled to manage your Florida connection. That is MY take not hers. She just said she was thrilled with your offer." Derek introduced Richard as one of the slaves Sandy was managing in Florida. Steve already knew he had been sent over to go to slave camp. Drinks were served. Steve told the bartender, "Whatever they want. On the house."
"Darren's business is going gangbusters!" Steve gushed. "Thanks to you, largely. You helped him out tremendously at the beginning. I mean we had some cash to get him started, but you taking him to that slave sale and giving him the advice you did. That just made everything so much easier."
Sarah wanted to talk to Steve a few minutes. She turned to Derek. "I'll leave you to talk with Richard for a few. You know we sort of have a LGBT coalition going. Helping each other in business." Steve escorted her to his office.
