J.J.†‬was feeling quite pleased with himself.†‬He had finished shaking down a mid-level coke dealer and had a fat wad of cash for his troubles.†‬On top of that,†‬he had had the lovely opportunity to beat up both the dealer and his accountant until they coughed up the†‬$50,000†‬he wanted.†‬He was serious about arresting them,†‬too.†‬Well,†‬if they had not paid up,†‬that is.†‬Every now and then he felt like he had to make an arrest just to remind people that he was still on the payroll.†‬He never did show up for the court dates and the people he bothered to arrest would be set free,†‬but the important thing was scaring and inconveniencing those he didnâ€'‬t like.†‬The down side was†‬he couldnâ€'‬t beat up people he was going to arrest,†‬or steal their moneyâ€; ‬so there was a†‬tradeoff.
After beating the men up,†‬J.J.†‬was horny.†‬The two seemed to go together.†‬He had thought about fucking the accountant,†‬he was cute in a geeky sort of way,†‬but J.J.†‬was not really into men at the moment.†‬No,†‬it came back to Elaine.†‬For now,†‬heâ€'‬d find some prostitute for a quickie,†‬but he knew he had to get Elaine back.â€
Raping her a few times†(‬could you actually rape a slave, he wondered.†‬He preferred the idea that you couldâ€) ‬was just going to be the start.†‬The Studio had contacted him.†‬Since they had already paid Sergei and Mark for her they felt they had a legitimate claim,†‬but were willing to sweeten the deal to make sure she was delivered.†‬J.J.†‬wanted revenge on the†‬slaveâ€;‬ he wanted payback for†‬her†‬escaping him,†‬for leaving him cuffed and naked with bruised balls.†‬He knew what The Studio did to women and he was more than willing to use some of his new found wealth to make sure they did it to Elaine.†‬All he wanted was to be the one who delivered her there so he could watch them film†‬her die.†‬And,†‬of course,†‬there would be the long drive to Canada for him to enjoy her as much as possible.
He had been on his way to stake out Royâ€'‬s place when he saw Hunter drive off with Elaine in the Bronco.†‬That simplified things a bit.†‬He was not going to risk a direct confrontation with Hunter.†‬He was not stupid enough to want to go head-to-head with Hunter,†‬but he might be able to pull an ambush or something else sneaky.†‬He parked near Hunterâ€'‬s house,†‬watched and waited.
The American taxpayers had†‬been kind enough to pay for some pretty sophisticated surveillance equipment for J.J.â€'‬s use.†‬He was supposed to be using it to track criminals,†‬but finding a fuck toy for his revenge was fine with J.J.†‬A parabolic mike on the open window let him hear Hunter and Elaine and cameras covered all the comings and goings of the house.
J.J.†‬had been tempted to ambush Hunter when he took Elaine for a walk:†‬pull up behind him,†‬one quick shot to the head,†‬grab Elaine and run.†‬But homicides on a city street in daylight tended to attract the sort of attention J.J.†‬wished to avoid,†‬so he watched and waited.†‬He discreetly followed them to the Strip and when they went into the Association bar he went back to Hunterâ€'‬s house.†‬He could tell that the place had cameras and†‬alarmsâ€;‬ he was not going to be able to sneak in.†‬More waiting.
When Hunter and Elaine came back,†‬J.J.†‬had taken lots of pictures.†‬Elaine looked so sweet and innocent in the shorts and blouse,†‬he took a few extra close-ups of her lovely legs.†‬J.J.†‬spent the next hour or two thinking of all he had done to her and all he wanted to do to her.†‬He somehow managed to miss the large van that was also parked across from Hunterâ€'‬s.†‬That sort of van just naturally blended into the scenery of Vegas and J.J.†‬was too†‬distracted.
Hunter had left and J.J.†‬was going to make his move,†‬but the van was there first.†‬He didnâ€'‬t think too much of the man going in with a big suitcase and coming back out a few minutes later with the same case.†‬He did snap lots of pictures,†‬though.†‬This was Hunterâ€'‬s house,†‬the man traded in all sorts of thingsâ€; ‬anything could be in his suitcase.†‬It was only when Hunter got back did J.J.†‬realize that Elaine was gone.†‬J.J.†‬cursed himself for the missed opportunity.†‬It was only then that he checked his phone and saw the message from Amanda.†‬He had missed her†‬onceâ€;‬ he wasnâ€'‬t going to miss her again.
Later,†‬he was back at his trailer looking through the pictures and trying to figure out what to do next when he got the message from Anna.†‬He smiled.†‬A chance to fight with Anna again and to get Elaineâ€? ‬Of course he was in.†‬Maybe heâ€'‬d get to kill Anna while he was at it.†‬At the very least,†‬heâ€'‬d have Elaine in his power again.
----------------------
Elaine was crying.†‬She had not wanted to,†‬she had wanted to keep her composure and her dignity,†‬but she was failing miserably.†‬She supposed she had good reason to cry.†‬She was being led by a leash off the houseboat and up the ramp to the buildings above and whatever awaited her there.†‬She had no idea who held her leash except that he had made it perfectly clear that he would do whatever it took to ensure her compliance.†‬She had no idea what was in the buildings above except that someone,†‬maybe lots of someones,†‬would be using her for their pleasure.
She held back a sob,†‬a little victory,†‬but tears flowed freely down her cheeks.†‬It was not just the uncertainty,†‬or the certainty that she would be fucked hard and often,†‬it was fatigue.†‬She was cold,†‬tired,†‬sore and hungry.†‬The night before last her owner,†‬Roy,†‬had had her up all night and used her hard.†‬She smiled briefly thinking about that but fell quickly into despair when she thought that she might never see Roy again.†‬After that,†‬she had slept for a few hours then Hunter had taken her away to his house for†‬more sex.†‬Then she had been stolen by Syd and had spent the last night†‬being tied up and raped.†‬She had been fucked a lot and slept†‬very†‬little and it was†‬all†‬catching up with her.â€
Elaine tried not to look at the guards or anyone else.†‬She knew what she looked like.†‬She was naked except for a collar and cuffs on her wrists and ankles.†‬Dried and drying semen from Sydâ€'‬s all night use of her was on her legs and ass.†‬There were welts from Hunterâ€'‬s riding crop and Sydâ€'‬s belt on her back,†‬ass and legs.†‬There was no doubt what had been done to her and the leash and collar were an open invitation for others to do the same.
Elaine noted that it was a beautiful morning.†‬The sun was just up and the light clear on the desert.†‬Sprinklers turned on and began watering the grass of the compound.†‬The cottonwoods and olive trees still had their leaves and the shadows were crisp and clear.†‬But it was the desert,†‬it was October and Elaine was naked,†‬so†‬it was chilly out.†‬She could feel the goosebumps on her fair skin and knew her nipples were rock hard.†‬Elaine was led across the†‬courtyardâ€;‬ a few other people were stirring and gave her curious glances.†‬Finally she was led into a two story stucco†‬building at the edge of the grounds.†‬Her leader carded in one door,†‬then entered in a combination on a keypad.†‬The door,†‬a very solid door,†‬opened with a clank and Elaine was led inside.
It was warmer inside and Elaine felt a little better,†‬but not much.†‬She was standing by a†‬counterâ€;‬ it reminded her of a registration desk at a hotel.†‬The lobby was small,†‬a couple of chairs,†‬the counter and another stout door.†‬There was no one at the counter,†‬but the man who led her reached over the counter and grabbed a key.†‬He keyed in a combination and the door clicked open.†‬He gave Elaineâ€'‬s leash a tug and led her through the door,†‬deeper into the building.†‬Elaine saw a cozy looking living room to her right,†‬but she was pulled to the left and down another hallway.†‬At the end there was another door.†‬The man used the key he had picked up from the desk to open it.
â€"‬In here,â€"‬ he said to her.
â€"‬Yes,†‬sir,â€"‬ Elaine stepped into the room.
She was pleasantly surprised.†‬The room had a small door off one side and a curtained window off another.†‬There was a bed against the wall,†‬a chair and a small table.†‬Elaineâ€'‬s eyes quickly went to the table.†‬There was a covered plate on it and Elaine could smell bacon.†‬Her stomach rumbled.
The man took off the leash and removed the cuffs from her wrists and ankles,†‬leaving her wearing only her collar.†‬She flashed him a teary look of gratitude.
The man opened the small door off the side of the room and revealed a small bathroom.†‬Except for the window,†‬Elaine was reminded strongly of the basement room in Samâ€'‬s house.†‬She shuddered a little thinking of what had happened in that room.
â€"‬Eat,†‬get cleaned up and sleep,â€"‬ he ordered her.†"‬Someone will be here for you later.â€"
"Yes,†‬sir,â€"‬ Elaine said,†"‬thank you,†‬sir.â€"
He left and locked the door behind him.†‬Elaine parted the curtains to look out the window.†‬It was barred,†‬of course,†‬and offered a limited view of the lake.†‬She could see the far shore and wondered where the van was.†‬The window was secure,†‬she assumed the door was secure and if that was not then the other doors after it were.
Time to take care of herself.†‬Elaine attacked the plate of food ravenously.†‬There was bacon,†‬scrambled eggs,†‬fruit and sourdough toast.†‬It did not take her long to eat every last bite of food.†‬She was tempted to just fall asleep,†‬but she had been ordered to clean up.†‬She took a quick†‬showerâ€;‬ just enough to get clean then collapsed onto the bed and was asleep within minutes.
--------------
â€"‬J.J.,†‬meet Doug,â€"‬ Anna introduced the two of them.†"‬Doug,†‬this is J.J.â€"
The three of them were in a chain motel off the interstate on the fringes of Las Vegas.†‬It was a quick and easy place to get to without all the hassle of going through a casino.†‬J.J.†‬had offered his place,†‬but Anna had refused to go anywhere near that sty.†‬She suggested he clean it up with a flamethrower.
â€"‬You're the cop,†‬rightâ€?" ‬Doug asked as he shook the shorter man's hand.
J.J.†‬smiled.†"‬Well,†‬I'm paid to be a cop.†‬You're the breaking and entering man�"
"I've done some work in that line,â€" ‬Doug answered modestly.
J.J.†‬turned to Anna.†"‬She's not at Roy's or Hunterâ€'‬s.†‬Why do we need a b and e guyâ€?"
Doug stiffened,†‬but Anna calmed him with a hand on his arm.†‬Same old J.J.,†‬she thought and was relieved.†‬This would make this all the more fun.†"‬Doug is one of the best at getting into places and getting back out again with what he was after.†‬He always keeps what he was after,†‬too.â€" ‬Anna knew about J.J.†‬losing Elaine and could not resist the dig.
J.J.†‬laughed.†"‬Nice one,†‬Anna.â€"‬ He was going to enjoy the game,†‬too.†"‬Fine.â€"
"If our little slave is not with Roy or Hunter,†‬then where is she�"‬ Anna asked.
â€"‬Someone took her away in a suitcase,â€"‬ J.J.†‬said and opened his laptop.†‬He opened the file with the pictures and found the ones of Syd going in and out.†"‬Know himâ€?"
Doug looked at the pictures and shook his head.†‬Mentally,†‬he was sizing up both J.J.†‬and Syd.†‬Doug knew enough about J.J.†‬and others like him to be wary of the man.†‬J.J.†‬had the classic short guy complex,†‬was sensitive to every slight and violent in response.†‬There was not much†‬self-control to him.†‬Doug had no doubt he could take him,†‬heâ€'‬d had Green Beret†‬training while in the army,†‬but he did not want to fight with a member of his own team if he did not have to.†‬Syd did not seem like much of a threat,†‬at least from the few pictures he could see.
