Chapter 19
A new master for the teacher
"Come on, let's walk back to the embassy," Bill encouraged his mentor.
"Far safer to get a taxi," Nathanial advised.
The new chap would soon learn not to take chances. He was still enthralled with the appointment, as it was his first assignment overseas. The alcohol was fuelling Bill's bravado, and affecting Nathanial's better judgement.
"It's a great night to take in the sounds and smells of a foreign land. Call it research, Nathanial," Bill laughed.
It was a quiet and pleasant evening. They moved among a throng of people, hardly noticed among foreign businessmen who were out and about in town, drinking coffee at a street corner, or just taking in the sights. The next block was much quieter, when they strolled along a tree lined boulevard near the embassy.
"There you are, safe and sound," Bill announced, as they walked toward a sentry guarding the gated compound. They stopped to show their Id to the marine.
At that moment a flash of bright light lit the dusk. A wave of hot air, as though a jet engine had suddenly turned their way, blasted them from their feet. All three were slammed against the wall, quicker than thought could process what was happening. Shards of metal from a parked vehicle studded the wall, breaking their bodies into tatters of red flesh. The wall gave way under the blast, covering what was left of them in broken bricks. Dust swirled onward into the supposedly secure compound.
A marine officer stepped around the corner of the embassy building, on his way to inspect the reported vehicle. He was knocked from his feet and concussed, but relatively unhurt. The dust was settling, blanketing the courtyard in muffled silence. Windows along the facade were cracked, not broken, having been designed to withstand a blast.
Poor soft human bodies hadn't been so well designed. The three men knew nothing of the explosion, and never would.

"Roger. I've got some bad news, are you sitting down? Are you alone?" Roger's father asked.
Roger was feeling pleased with himself until his father phoned. The serious tone of voice left him feeling apprehensive.
"What is it, what's wrong?" Roger replied, from concern for himself.
"Where's Nathanial's wife and daughter?" he asked.
Roger's hands shook. He was in trouble. What did his father know about them, that had him calling so early in the morning, sounding grave.
"They're, err, in bed," Roger lied. He couldn't tell his father the two women were tethered in the stables.
"Listen to me carefully. Something's happened to Nathanial. He's been killed. Sorry to tell you like this. You're going to have to look after them longer than you thought. No! Listen to me. The authorities are keeping it quiet. They contacted me as I'm his best friend and a contact. It doesn't matter why," he smoothly added.
"What happened? You said killed!" Roger yelped into the phone, sounding distraught.
"Calm down, Roger. Nathanial and Bill were on government business. Look, don't concern yourself with what they were doing. I need you to keep calm and look after the two women. A week, maybe longer. Can you do that?" he requested, making it sound like an order.
"Yea, OK. What do I tell them?" Roger asked. He took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Nothing, not yet. I'll keep in touch. The important thing is to keep them away from the press, and prevent them from making a fuss. Can you do that?" he firmly asked for confirmation.
"Sure. I'll tell them he's away longer than planned," Roger suggested.
"OK. He told me you were looking after them while he was away. You just need to carry on awhile longer. Nathanial mentioned Rachael. Is she still there?" he asked.
"Yea, how did you know?" Roger asked.
"She's Bill's wife. He was worried about Bill finding out. He was introducing Bill to his contacts. You had better keep her in the dark too. I know it's a lot to ask. Just do your best, son," he sympathised.
"OK. I will. Don't worry, I'll look after them. There won't be a problem, I promise," Roger stated, trying to sound confident.
After some small talk the phone went dead.
The time difference in London meant his father was up and busy. As a banker he was involved with financing government business, but Roger hadn't realised it involved dangerous situations. Shit! He hadn't asked if his father was in trouble. A bomb outside a middle east embassy was mentioned. A coincidence his father said. What the hell was going on?
He sat motionless on the edge of the bed wondering what to do. It no longer seemed fun to be looking after three attractive women. He looked at the bedside clock. It was early, though the pony-girls would soon have to be fed and watered.
His slave Rachael was in the next room, sleeping soundly. How could he carry on with her, when her husband had been killed! Get back into a routine, that was the way to deal with it. Push the awful truth to the back of his mind and keep it from them, until father told him otherwise.
"Wake up slave! Your master needs your help," Roger admonished Rachael.
Rachael yawned loudly. She was about to complain about being woken up so rudely. On opening her eyes the events of last night replaced her agitation with embarrassment. The young hunk staring at her had fucked her hard. He was using her as his sex slave!
It was humiliating to be treated so badly, yet it was so very arousing and irresistible. Without thinking she automatically jumped out of bed, to kneel at his feet.
"Sorry master! Your slave is ready to serve you," she sincerely apologised.
In the past such games had been played for just a weekend, with strict rules over how she should be treated. The usual game rules she demanded were void. Nathanial knew who she was, so the threat of her sordid secret being exposed meant she had to submit completely. After a whole week playing the game, the slave role was becoming deeply embedded.
It meant this young man had her at his mercy. He didn't know her husband was an important man, but Nathanial had made it clear she was to obey Roger, until he returned home. Perhaps that's why she was being woken up so early. It was time to leave. She hoped so. Playing the role of slave was leaving its mark upon her, for it was far too enjoyable.
"Make breakfast, then help me with the pony-girls," Roger ordered.
He watched her scurry off to the bathroom, then left to fill the coffee machine. He needed to keep busy, to avoid thinking about the dire situation. He was responsible for the three women, and would have to take care of them. He could do it. He wouldn't let his father down.
After breakfast Rachael followed her young master to the stables. It didn't look as though she were leaving after all. She noticed he was more self-assured, and seemed sterner with his orders. In response to this she immediately jumped to his commands.
Whereas before his demands had been sexual, he was merely treating her like a slave-girl. It wasn't right for an older married woman to be obeying a young man's orders. She didn't treat her servants at home so offhandedly as he was treating her. She just couldn't bring herself to question him. Her self-assurance had evaporated, leaving her completely submissive to him.
The pony girls were awake. They snorted and stamped their feet, indicating attention was needed. They slept naked on straw in the disused stables as they had become used to, during the weeks away at training school. As they were so well trained, they could only communicate like ponies. He figured it would be convenient to keep up the training regime, so they didn't ask awkward questions.
Roger took hold of Bridget's reins, leading her to a drain in the concrete floor. She spread her feet either side of it and let loose. She stood aside to let her daughter take her place.
Roger had found it amusing to watch the arrogant girl in such a demeaning pose, though not today, as he remotely went through the routine. Angela sighed with relief as she peed down the drain.
He fitted a nozzle into Bridget's asshole and opened a valve. The warm water gushed into her, leaving her trembling. The pony-girls obviously didn't like this, but had to stand it. He cleaned the nozzle, unable to watch the woman defecate over the drain. Angela was next. She was less able to cope with the intrusion, so he slapped her ass.
They obediently stood waiting for him to hose them down. Their skin welled up with goose bumps from the cold spray. Their skin was brightly shining, and they shivered, despite the warm weather. He wondered how traumatic the training had been for them to so quickly submit to such indignities.
