Thanks again to Shygirlwhore for editing.
By now, you are either into this long story or not. I will mention again that the whole saga proceeds through Sex Slave Lottery, 150th Slave (Alternative version), Concluding Non-Consensual Postscript and Whole New Slave Game 1-7. There will be chapters after this.

Chapter 8 – The Uses of Sex, Hostility and Crime
BACK IN BOLRY AGAIN
My days leading up to the Whole New Game have been full of sex and conspiracy.
I received orders the day after being taken on my condo floor by Gorsuchin that I was to be in Bolry the following Thursday, leaving me four days in Long Island. I told Fred of everything Gorsuchin had said. "Earlier I was threatened that I would be betrayed by Lermanov and the Tolskies or that they would be overthrown and my goose would be cooked by whoever took over. Now that monster Gorsuchin is suggesting that you will betray me. Oh please tell me that is impossible?"
"It is absolutely impossible," Mann was quick to say. He hugged me and gave all sorts of wonderful assurances of love and protection. I believed him but the poison Gorsuchin had planted was not completely gone.
I had now been with many of the men on Lermanov's list. I was fairly confident that Fortmanov was up to something and that Gorsuchin was at least laying groundwork for some sort of move. As to Kohl, Bolontini, Vadimovich, Sazarbeyev, and Yimofeyvich, I was unsure. The Pirko Dupov character was yet another wild card and there were a number more of the men on Lermanov's list to meet. I was pretty sure that Walker was not doing anything but observing the games and playing around.
I got back to Bolry Thursday morning July 14. No one with much authority in Bolry met me at the airport this time. Instead I was met by two lawyers from our office, the extremely subordinate Jacobs and the newest pretty young associate sent to Bolry to try to become a partner through risking becoming a sex slave, Hannah Parsons. Three women sent to Bolry by Sullivan, Smith, Steinheim and Sieger (aka "4S") were now BDSM sex slaves, me, Chiara and Amanda.
Hannah, a very busty and beautiful Chinese African -American, looked to be joining us soon as a slave. I had heard that she had already participated in the Lottery twice and was taking bigger risks. She confirmed that she would be in the Lottery coming up on Saturday and had a one in twelve chance of becoming a BDSM submissive slave for life, "But that means I have a 92% chance of making $40,000 for just standing around a while."
I did not bother to tell her she was an idiot. The fact I am an idiot should have given my advice credibility. Hypocrites and experienced fools know of what of they speak, but I was sure Hannah would not see it that way.
A third person meeting me at the airport was totally unexpected. Ludmila had been connected with various crimes of the notorious Dimitry who, after his fatal accident, was found to have been embezzling. At least that was the story. Ludmila basically had volunteered to become a BDSM sex slave in the Pacific Resort rather than face constant risk of severe physical harm in Bolry. I had seen her at the Pacific Resort and thought she was very likely to live out the rest of her days there unless the world changed drastically.
Ludmila said that she was back in Bolry because of Felix Dvorzhinski telling Svetlana that Ludmila could be useful during the two lotteries that were to be modeled on the special lotteries held in 2009 during which I became a slave. "They are going to whip me between rounds along with other slaves." That they brought her back just for that was not a sensible story. The fact that such a stupid story was being offered showed that whoever brought her back for three weeks wanted to raise suspicion. Ludmila described the two special lotteries to occur before and after the Whole New Slave Game lotteries.
I had been told of these two special lotteries that would create two BDSM slaves to go along with the one to be created by the Whole New Game. Only now did I learn the details. I was not happy about some of the details I learned from Ludmila.
The "Shades of Pain Lotteries" were going to follow generally the rules of the Lotteries in which I lost. This meant there would be a lot of humiliation and perhaps public sex even involving women who did not become slaves. Also, to add to the drama and broaden public interest, they will involve six women from Bolry with notorious backgrounds and six women from the West.
That there would be a lot of public degradation for the participants did not upset me. If women want to gamble their futures for what they see as a lot of money, who was I to talk? The problem was that one of the participants was Assistant Chief of Slave Security, Larisa Borisnova. Much worse, another of the participants who had two one-in-twelve chances of becoming a BDSM sex slave was Sofia Protoskaya. What could have possessed Sofia to take such a chance?
I would have thought the contest must be rigged. The Tolskies need Sofia as an assassin even if they could spare her as head of the Bolrian Lottery Corporation Slave Security Department.
Ludmila presented the theories as to what was going on with Sofia. The official explanation was that Sofia always wanted to do this. It was added by way of explanation that Sofia was depressed about her life as a security guard and a hit woman and wanted to take herself out of it any way she could.
An unofficial explanation was that Sofia badly needed money to help some lover. There was also a rumor that Dvorzhinski had somehow forced her to do this because he did not like competition from an enforcer outside the Security Police chain of command. A still darker rumor was that the Tolskies and Lermanov were completely losing their grip, they had been forced to sacrifice Sofia, and this was the beginning of a shakeup that would lead to Dvorzhinski, Russian mobsters and certain other forces taking over the country.
In this case, I was inclined to go with the official explanation although that is almost never correct in Bolry. But whatever the truth, Sofia and Larisa being in the Shades of Pain Lotteries meant that the unit in charge of keeping me and other sex slaves safe had been decapitated. If some of the rumors were true, I might not come out alive.
Sofia was said to be back from a two-week vacation during which she saw various places in the world that she would probably not get to see if she became a slave. Patagonia, Denali and the African savannah are not places men take women to have sex. That would explain why Sofia had been gone.
Why was Crystal in Moscow? What was Irina doing?
KURBETSKI
I expected to be taken from the airport to the BLC facilities to prepare for the reception I had been notified to attend that night. However, the driver said he'd received instructions to drop me off at the Government Executive Office downtown. A message on my phone said I was going to spend the entire afternoon with Pyotr Kurbetski, Chief of Staff to Premier Pyotr Tolski.
What followed was an unorganized mixture of sex and highly informative presentations on Eighteenth Century Russian History and late Twentieth Century Bolrian history.
I knew Kurbetski was 51. Unlike Lermanov or his boss, Pyotr Tolski, he does not project a sinister gentility or a feeling that there was an iron fist below the velvet glove. He seems more like a policy nerd. Kurbetski is not in bad shape and openly enjoys sex. I do not know whether he is married. Most of them are, but it does not matter.
The first issue was to get through building security through the side door that I had been instructed to enter. There was a metal detector but it was out of order. At least that is what the three male guards said. A guy with a neck about as fat as a telephone poll said I could either strip nude so that they could see I was unarmed or let them frisk me in a thorough manner. There were no female security guards that were available.
I had been in the building a number of times before for meetings and was pretty sure that I had not had this much trouble getting into the building before. I decided I'd rather be felt up than ogled and received one of the most thorough breast and thigh exams of my life. There were a few people at the side door to witness this manhandling, but the other guards and a few passing Bolrian bureaucrats did not contain their mirth.
