To Obey

Chapter 42 "Hong Kong"
Mr Boggis looked through the open doorway. He tilted his head this way and
that trying to work out the new torture technique. From his advantage point
he could see Sue Henderson hogtied in mid-air. Her jaws were clenched and
straining onto a rope that she was holding in her mouth. Beads of sweat ran
down the side of her face.
Mr Boggis moved inside the door way. Sue's eyes watched him as he came in
and looked around. She dared not to speak. Mr Boggis realized why she didn't
say a word. Behind her was a post of razor sharp spikes. If Sue let go she
would be dead or if she was lucky, very sore for a very long time.
"Morning Mr Boggis."
The headmaster turned around and saw Ralph coming down the hallway. To his
side was Priest. His face was mostly covered by a hood.
"Ralph. Priest. How long as she been like that?"
"Since ten last night." replied the porter.
"She's been like that for over eleven hours?"
Ralph smiled from ear to ear. "Yes Sir. She swore at Priest so we gave her
something to think about."
Mr Boggis always believed it was a good idea to take a deep breath and
count to ten. He had already reached fourteen by the time he stuck Ralph
across the head. Ralph stumbled back but quickly regained his composure.
"You let a very expensive student be an inch away from being killed
because she 'swore' at you?!"
"But .. but .. but .." stumbled Ralph. Priest hadn't moved or said a word.
"Don't fucking start with me Ralph. Untie her and get her to her next
class. That goes for you too Priest!"
Mr Boggis turned on his heel and stormed off. The porter and Priest watched
as the headmaster turned a corner.
"It was 'your' idea!!!" hissed Ralph. Before the porter knew what happened
he found himself on the floor clutching his head. The Priest rubbed the
knuckles on his hand and walked into the room to release Sue.
Ralph tried to shake the cobwebs out of his brain. "Fuck in hell?!!"
_______________________
Hong Kong was hot, very hot. Ivy brought two hand fans at the airport and
both John and her waved them furiously as they walked the streets. John
refused to buy any food from the street vendors. Ivy didn't care and
welcomed the chance to experiment with the local tucker.
"Come on John, try some." asked Ivy.
John stared at the funny shaped lizard in her hand. It was covered with a
green jelly. He shook his head.
"Nah. There's a McDonalds over there. Thank goodness for plastic."
Ivy quickly scooped the lizard into her mouth and crunched down hard on
the delicacy. She followed John down the street. John reached the door of
the family restaurant and enjoyed the rush of cool air as he walked into
the air conditioning. He studied the menu for a few moments and decided
on his choice. He turned his head back to see what Ivy wanted.
She wasn't there.
John looked around the restaurant and then quickly went outside. No sign
of Ivy at all. He reached out and grabbed the nearest person but was held
off by a barrage of Chinese swear words.
John quickly realized Ivy had been kidnapped.

Priest pulled the loose end of the knot and Sue fell to the ground. The
rope was still wedged in her teeth. The Priest pulled her hair back and
found that the rope had hooked onto one of her incisors. Sue couldn't have
let go if she tried. A trickle of blood proved the fact. He unhooked the
rope and untied the remaining knots. Sue was just standing up as Ralph
walked into the room.
"Well Slut, you won't do that again will ya!" sneered the porter.
Sue rubbed her wrists and jaw. Fury rose up within her. Ralph continued to
scorn her then all was quiet. The Priest heard the faint gurgle and the sound
of a body falling to the ground. He turned to see Ralph on his knees
clutching his groin.
Sue took a fighting posture. She had learnt some kick boxing from one of
her previous boyfriends. The Priest walked over while Sue glared at him.
He bent down and pushed Ralph over. The porter continued to groan. Priest
turned back to Sue.
"Come on! I'll take you on too, you fucking prick!" Sue yelled.
The Priest smiled and walked over to the slave. Sue lashed out with a
round house kick but the Priest easily blocked it. Before Sue could regain
her balance he pushed her backwards onto the floor. Sue rolled back and
took another stance. The Priest continued to walked forward towards her.
Sue started bouncing on the balls of her feet. She threw a punch which
connected with the Priest's hood but made no impact on his head. Sue then
dropped down to do a sweep with her leg but again didn't connect. As she
turned and stood up the Priest was there in front of her. He stuck her in
the stomach. As Sue bent forward he grabbed her head and brought he knee up.
Sue's brain went fuzzy for a few seconds but it was enough time for the
Priest. He punched her twice in the kidneys and then dropped an elbow onto
the back of her neck. Sue yelped and fell to the ground. She didn't get up.
She lay on the floor sobbing. After a few moments the Priest helped her up.
He wiped some of the tears and blood away from her face.
"Come, slave." Both teacher and slave left the room.
Ralph continued to groan on the floor. A dark patch appeared in his pants.

John retraced his steps from when Ivy had been kidnapped. He scanned the
ground looking for any signs. So far nothing. He wondered how many people
would have even noticed her been taken away let along had done anything to
help her. He stopped and bent down. He saw a scratch on the ground from the
back of a white shoe. Ivy had been wearing white shoes. He followed the
angle of the scratch and looked over to an alley way.
He ran down the narrow alley. A few of the more illegal shop vendors watched
him carefully as he scanned above and in the dark corners. Soon he came to
the end of the alleyway. To his left he saw one of the locals looking at him,
but unlike the others this one was smiling.
"Where is the girl?" John asked. The local continued to smile. John looked
over the local's shoulder and saw a door. He worked out that the man must
have put his chair in the way to hide the escape.
The door shook with the knock. John could hear someone scrabbling on the
other side of the door. He continued to bang but much harder. After a few
more knocks the door opened a crack. John looked into the face of a very
young girl. He estimated she wasn't more than thirteen.
The girl stared hard at John and gasped when she realized that he was
using the local's head to knock on the door. The man had blood dripping
out of his forehead and his eyes had rolled back into his scull.
John kicked forward pushing the girl back into the room.
"Where is the girl?"
No answer. He dropped the front-door man and ventured in. He had succeeded
in getting eight metres into the building before he was hit over the head
by the butt of a gun. Everything went dark.
