In the first part of the story Lisa, a prominent schoolteacher and wife, has been blackmailed into performing sexually for two unidentified young men after they have stolen explicit videos of her which her husband had taken. She has already reluctantly completed two tasks to recover two explicit videos and is now completing her third. Her tormenters do not want money; they require only that she perform sexually for them. Hubby has attempted to stop it without success. The story makes better sense if you read "T.O.Y. Wife" first.
Part 6
We awoke in the morning to another email from Lisa's tormenter:
"T.O.Y., You have been excellent and we are very proud of you. Tonight we plan to show you off to a few others for your grand finale. Look for an email at 7:00. You will not know a soul and we will cover your pretty face for your privacy. There will be no cameras and no one will hurt you or touch you in any way without your permission. When it is over you will have back your home movies and many more memories to carry you and hubby into your golden years. Same rules as before, only tonight big Daddy is invited! Of course, if you have had enough we will be happy to distribute the home movies at the school. Think of it as sex ed for the kiddies. P.s., ask big Daddy to back off with the snooping. In case he needs a reminder of what he's dealing with, please look outside at the Mercedes. Be smart, don't start!"
With that, I ran out the front door. My Mercedes was in the driveway and looked okay from a distance, but up close I could see that all the interior had been slashed, the stereo and gps were gone and the outside had been finely keyed, from front to back. Great.
Lisa seemed anxious about the showing-off part of the email, but she was surprisingly calm about the car. "Sounds like your crack investigator got a little too close", she said, "but I really don't think these boys have any violence in them at all. They have made no effort to touch me, even when I was obviously, uh, vulnerable, last night. Part of me just wants to get this over with. But sweetie, I think I would just die if you were there as this strange stuff is happening. What if I go too far tonight? You won't come, will you?"
"Are you kidding", I said," I won't leave you alone for one second if I can help it. We'll get through this together. " I meant it, but I sure didn't know how I would handle it. "I love you".
Lisa tried to be normal for the balance of Saturday. She trimmed the roses, spoke with the kids by phone and fiddled inside the house until late in the day. If anything she seemed fairly upbeat. I was a nervous wreck.
