Four young college girls get summer jobs together in the same factory. One of the shift supervisors is a pervert who has abused other female employees and tries to take advantage of "S". He does at first, but then and gets a big surprise from The Three J's.
This is the complete story in four chapters with a background prelude and an epilogue. If you read "Three J's and an S go skiing" you can skip background section

Background Prelude

Julie, Judy, and Joan had been friends since before kindergarten. When their mothers car pooled for school events, etc, they spoke of "picking up The Three J's." Teachers, and most of the community soon started referring to them as "The Three J's." In the fourth grade, Sara's mother went to work for Julie's mother as a cook and housekeeper, and since her mom lived in an apartment over the garage, Sara was added to the mix. After that, they became known to their parents, teachers and most of the community as "The Three J's and an S."
To a great extent, Sara was always the "tag along." Partly this was because of the difference in economic status. The Three J's were "from money" with generations of refinement and tradition. Sara was "working class" who cleaned up well, but remained slightly an outsider. Partly Sara was the odd one out because of physical differences. The Three J's were from northern European stock with pale skin, light hair, and blue eyes. Sara was always slightly shorter, more than slightly less pale, and had dark hair and deep brown eyes. But primarily, Sara was the tag along because of the difference in personality.
From their time in pre-school together, The Three J's were all alpha-females with strong personalities and always somewhat of a handful for their parents and their teachers. Sara, on the other hand, was more of a beta, gamma, or even delta personality and tended to defer to whatever The Three J's said or did. Sara was always the quiet little girl in the corner who never caused any problems in class. Still, The Three J's accepted her for what she was, or perhaps despite what she was. Conversely, she accepted The Three J's for what they were and accepted that she wasn't quite their equal and would never be as close as these three girls who had totally grown up together.
The Three J's and an S are now college Juniors who room together in an off-campus apartment. Sara, who has very limited financial means, cooks, cleans and keeps the apartment as her share of the rent, utilities and food. Last January, The Three J's and an S spent Winter Break at a ski cabin time-shared by Joan's father. While there, Judy met Ron, Julie met Kevin, and Sara and Joan finally admitted to themselves what everyone else already knew..., that they were strongly attracted to each other in a loving, D/s relationship.
We rejoin them several weeks before the end of the school year.

CHAPTER ONE
= = = = = = = = = =
It was a bright, sunny, early April morning when Joan walked into the kitchen with her cellphone in hand and announced, "I have some good news and some bad news."
Julie and Judy were sitting at the kitchen table finishing breakfast. Sara, clad only in her black velvet collar, was cleaning up the counter. All three turned to look at Joan as she asked, "What do you want first - the good news or the bad news?"
"You may as well give us the bad news first," answered Julie. "Since you just got off the phone with your dad, I assume this comes from him."
"And from your parents," said Joan. "My dad is just the spokesperson."
She paused a moment before continuing. Then she said, "The bad news is that we are not going anywhere over the summer."
Julie and Judy both groaned. Sara, who had been planning on staying in town and working some sort of summer job, stood quietly behind the two girls. She didn't want to show her happiness that Joan would not be away from her at all during the summer.
"And the good news is?..." asked Judy.
"We don't have to worry about getting some sort of internship onto our resume's." answered Joan.
Julie, Judy and Sara all looked at her as Julie asked, "And what does that mean?"
"Our parents evidently got together last week and discussed the fact that we 'needed some real world experience before we graduated.' They pulled some strings and all three of us have paid internships at a local factory. I will be helping rewrite some technical manuals; Judy will be playing sorcerer's apprentice in the quality control lab; and Julie will be helping set up a new computer system for human resources."
She then looked over at Sara. "They thought a business internship wouldn't really be helpful for an elementary teacher, but a well-paying job on the factory floor would. So, they arranged for you to be a summer replacement on the production line. It might be a little boring, but it will pay twice or maybe triple what you could make at that waitress job you were looking at."
Sara was now free to smile and show her happiness. Julie and Judy, however, were obviously less than thrilled. "I had hoped to be able to spend a lot of time with Kevin this summer," whined Julie. "But they're right," she continued. "Sooner or later we have to do some sort of internship. We might as well get it out of the way this summer."
And so on the first Monday of June, The Three J's and an S reported for work at "Perfect Pets Plant Number 7." Perfect Pets made and sold everything that you would ever need for a cat, dog, horse, hamster or whatever you wanted. Plant number 7 was a food processing plant. It was extremely clean, and the temperature and humidity were very well controlled, but the overwhelming smell of drying pet food permeated the area. Even in the sealed comfort of the office area, everything smelled vaguely of pork, beef, fish, corn, soy and whatever else they were cooking, grinding up, mixing and compressing into "Perfect Pet Pellets."
The first few weeks went by rather rapidly. The Three J's were obviously enjoying their new adventure into the "real world." Sara, however, began to grow more and more withdrawn and quiet with each passing day. Although at first she would quite willingly share what had happened in her day with Joan and the other J's, recently she wouldn't even reply when asked how her day had gone. Even more strangely, Sara began to wear a nightshirt to bed that she didn't remove even when fixing breakfast for The Three J's .
The Three J's knew very well that Sara was a submissive exhibitionist who had no problem showing her body to anyone and everyone. She loved to run around the apartment naked and would probably go to class naked if she could get away with it. If Sara was hiding her body, something was definitely wrong, and it had something to do with Perfect Pets Plant Number 7.
Finally, Joan texted Julie and Judy to meet her during their break so they could talk about the situation. "Something is terribly wrong," began Joan, "but Sara won't talk about it. She just curls up in a ball on the bed and cries. She won't let me touch her or hug her or anything. I think something happened to her or is happening to her at the plant."
"I have to go out onto the production floors and take samples several times a shift," offered Judy. "I'll see if I can find out anything."
"I will go through the recent reports in the computer and see if there is anything that stands out," added Julie. "I don't know if they realized it, but they gave me a full access password and I can get to anything on that system. It had to have been a mistake, but I'm not going to tell them about it until the end of the summer in case something comes up that I need that much access."
"OK," answered Joan. "We meet here again tomorrow and compare notes. I will try to talk to her again tonight, but I don't want to push it too far."

CHAPTER TWO

When Judy went out into the production area to take the mid-afternoon samples, she intentionally changed her path through the steaming and rattling machines so that she would end up in the area where Sara was working. She had hoped to see what Sara was doing, but when she got there Sara was nowhere to be seen.
A young Hispanic woman was working as a bag filler on one of the older, fully manual machines. Normally, filling 40lb bags on one of the older machines was a two person job. One person loaded empties onto the chute and activated the dump, the other pulled the bag through the sealer, which sewed the top of the bag shut, and stacked the bag on a pallet. This girl was doing both.
"Where's Sara?" asked Judy.
The young woman looked around with a very frightened look on her face. "I must keep up," she said with a heavy accent as she pulled a bag through the sealer. "I can't fall behind in production or I could get fired. Please go away. Please go away."
Judy paused for a moment to read the woman's ID badge and then picked up her in-plant radio and keyed it on. "Requesting shut down of bag line A-43. Something doesn't look right with the color and the odor seems a little off. I want to verify mix and quality."
A muffled voice answered, "Fifteen minute shutdown authorized. Remember to complete the notation in the production logs when you have cleared it for restart."
Judy smiled up at the young woman as her machine suddenly became silent. "Maria is it? Or do you prefer Mary? We can talk now. I know you are not supposed to be running this machine by yourself. Where is Sara? She is a friend of mine."
"Your friend is in much very bad trouble," answered Mary. "She is in the supervisor's office, but you cannot help her. Mr. Swanson is a powerful man..., and he has many powerful friends. They do each other favors. I can say no more."
