Chapter 3 - A More Problematic Interview
The fourth of my recruits is the teacher, Amanda Cairns. Actually, I was being a
little unfair when I said she was having difficulty putting her thoughts into
words. She is having trouble getting her words out but that is mainly the result
of the gag, I suppose.
She was the one to give us the most trouble at the interview. I think she may
have become suspicious at some point because she refused a drink and seemed to
be trying to find an excuse to leave. In the end I brought the discussion to an
early close, assured her that we were still interested in having further
discussions, buzzed Elly on the intercom to tell her that Ms. Cairns was leaving
early, and escorted her towards the door. Of course, she didn't get that far. I
would not want someone to miss out on an important opportunity simply because
they got cold feet at the interview. I grabbed her as she reached for the door
handle and spun her around against the wall. She kicked out and nearly broke
free as Elly burst into the room with a chloroform pad at the ready - she'd
understood the significance of my intercom call. I held Cairns as Elly clamped
the pad over her face. The chloro' took effect and Amanda's struggles subsided.
By the time she was unconscious though I had bruises on my shins and some
scratch marks on my hands - annoying.
One she was out cold, we parcelled her up as normal - handcuffs on the wrists,
ropes around chest, ankles and knees and a wad of cloth with duct tape to
complete as a gag. Of course one of the problems if you have difficulties is
that you get a bit more careful so I suppose the ropes were tied a bit tighter
than absolutely necessary and the gag used a bit more stuffing and a lot more
tape than usual. Elly grinned, suggested that my powers to charm must be waning
and then helped me to bundle our now unconscious teacher out of the back of the
building and into the boot of our car.
Now the poor girl is sitting up on the frame bed in her cell scowling at us and
grunting through her gag. She's no doubt thinking about trying to escape. I am
thinking that we will have to cut the tape from her gag out of her hair in order
to have a sensible conversation. I decide to leave it there for now. I tell her
about the future. Her eyes widen with each remark and she's shaking her head in
either disbelief or disagreement. The muffled cries from behind her gag get
progressively more intense. I explain to her that she has been brought here
because of her skills and that she will have plenty of opportunity to make use
of them in her new life. She doesn't seem impressed. I also point out that the
fact that she has good legs won't hurt either. That doesn't help. When I explain
that her new life will involve an interesting combination of professional and
personal services she becomes extremely agitated.
She's going to be a challenge but I think she will not prove too difficult to
break.
