Voyage into Slavery Chapter 23
As the explosion occurred, everybody on the bridge was thrown off balance. Instantly, the alarms started to wail. Captain Liu picked himself up, and immediately ordered the vessel to stop. Then, he asked for a damage report. Secretly, he was fearing the worst. That explosion was massive, and it had to have caused serious damage to his ship. However, Liu knew always, that an excellent Captain at sea, would remain in control of any life threatening situation. He stayed calm, and issued fresh orders to two of the bridge crew.
'Get some men together, and make sure the passengers remain calm. I don't want a panic starting. '
He was pleased to see the two men salute him, and they hurried away. He then grabbed a radio, and called for Yee. There was no reply from his friend. After a few more fruitless calls, one of his officers came up to him. The man's face was grim.
'It's bad, Captain. 'He reported. 'I'm afraid she's sinking. '
Liu couldn't help showing the shocked expression on his face, as the bombshell news was told to him. There had to be some good news.
'What about the emergency pumps? Can they not do anything?' His hopes were crushed immidiately.
'Sabotaged, Sir. 'The crewman answered. 'She's finished. No doubt. '
Liu still couldn't believe it. He'd lost his ship!Damn that Takachi! He tried one more time.
'What about the watertight doors?' Again, the man shook his head.
'There's no hope, Captain. None at all. 'Liu would check himself personally, but he did glance at his watch.
'How long have we got?' The officer had already done the grim calculations.
'About an hour, Sir. Maybe an hour and a half. Not much more. '
Liu nodded, as he made the decision no Captain would ever want to order.
'Very well. Uncover the lifeboats. Get the crew to ready the passengers to their lifeboat stations. Prepare to abandon ship. '
Of course, there was also the added snag, that Takachi had destroyed their radio. How were they going to send out an S. O. S? Fortunately, one of the bridge crew suddenly called out to him.
'Captain! Ship sighted!'
Instantly, Liu had his binoculars up. Yes! The ship was heading towards them. He was pleased to see, that it was an ocean going vessel, like the 'Eastern Paradise' Thank God! How it had got here, he had no idea, but he was elated. At least, everybody had the chance to be saved.
The approaching ship was signalling them in morse, by one of the powerful flickering lights. Liu was highly skilled in reading it. He saw them flash, 'Do you need help? Understand you have bomb threat. Standing by to assist you. '
For a few moments, Liu was puzzled how they knew about the bomb. It was then he remembered what Madam Chen had told him about Jennings' other sister. It must have been her, when she was helping her brother. Obviously, it was Jennings that had seen the bomb, and told the girl. He ordered the ship's signals to be returned.
'Send this back to her. 'Glad you are here. Sinking. Request all available help. '
His order was promptly obeyed, as everybody on the bridge looked to see the ship return their signal.
'Glad to assist. Standing by. ' There was a great deal of relief, as everybody understood that.
Liu was also pleased to know, that Madam Chen had managed to get all their bound, gagged female captives discreetly over, to her own ship. Her own vessel was cruising way off their position, but he knew that they would stay in the area. Liu was also grateful, that the weather was calm. The sea was completely calm. No swell at all. He'd have hated launching lifeboats, especially in a stormy sea. So, it looked as if they'd all be saved. Although, Liu privately hoped that wouldn't be the case for Jennings and Takachi. He sincerely hoped both of them would kill each other, deep in the bowels of the ship.
He remembered Louise, still trapped down there. A pity, he thought. The girl was very pretty, and perhaps, if he had time, he'd send somebody back to retrieve her. Liu was positive Madam Chen would be pleased, if she was taken. For now, he had more urgent, and pressing matters to deal with.
He called the bridge crew together, and began to explain his wishes. Liu knew all of his crew. They were also his accomplices in his dealings with the slave trade. He knew every one of them was totally loyal to him, and never ever questioned his orders.
'Right, gentlemen. 'Liu told them. 'I want you all to to make sure, that when you get to your lifeboat stations, keep the passengers calm. 'He then informed them, of what they wanted to hear. 'We have what we came for, and I assure you, our beautiful cargo, is all nicely tied up, and ready for delivery. 'There were smiles at that. Liu was smiling himself, but he went on. 'Remember, gentlemen. We must show the passengers, that we are still a highly efficient crew. When we get them all safely off the ship, they'll still compliment us for not showing any panic. That will mean extra rewards for us all. 'He then asked, if they all understood. They did.
Satisfied at that, Liu dismissed them. He then made another call for his First Officer. Again, there was no response.
Deep down in the 'Eastern Paradise' the sea continued to flood in, at a furious speed. Louise still fought frantically against the many ropes that held her. She could see that the water wasn't that far off from reaching her. Still making anxious glances for John, she saw no sign of him. The gag stayed tight over her mouth, as she kept vainly trying to call for her brother. Only soft mumbling was the feeble result.
Suddenly, Louise saw the menacing figure of Takachi advancing slowly on her. She screamed ineffectively into her gag, as her searching looks for her brother, now became more desperate. Takachi's face was battered and bloody, due to Jennings' hard blows. It practically made him look inhuman. He continued his slow, deliberate advance on the tightly bound girl. Takachi was eagerly relishing the young woman's distress, and he couldn't wait to get his hands on the girl.
'Well, then, 'Takachi sneered at Louise. His voice didn't sound human either. 'It looks as if your brother didn't save you after all. Did he, my dear?' He was amused to see the girl try to back away from him. Natrually, the tight ropes he'd tied her up in, kept her firmly fixed to the support pillar. She wasn't going anywhere. 'Now, you're all mine. '
Louise still kept trying to shout for John, as she realised she couldn't get away from this monster approaching her. Her eyes were huge in terror, and she could see that Takachi was enjoying her fear. The Yakuza gangster had looked for Jennings as well, but there was no sign of the Englishman. Hopefully, he'd been killed by the bomb's explosion, or perhaps he'd fallen into the still rapidly rising sea. Either way, he couldn't lose. With Jennings now safely out of the way, he could enjoy some payback. His face was still in agony, as Jennings had almost beaten him into a bloody pulp. What better way for payback, than to ravish his pretty little sister?
He was almost on her, but before Takachi could grab her, he felt a hand grab his shoulder. He was pulled savagely back. Jennings had caught his nemesis completely by suprise. The relief in his sister's face was immeasurable, as she watched her brother stop him, just in time. Jennings' face was enraged. This man had deliberately blown up a bomb, endangering hundreds of innocent lives, on board this ship. Yet, it had been what he'd done to Kieko and Louise, that made Jennings determined to finish off this Yakuza thug, permanently.
However, before they could start fighting all over again, the room suddenly tilted downward. Both men went sliding down. Louise, tightly tied to the pillar, didn't follow the falling men. Even so, she was now at an angle, as her bound body now leaned over. Her eyes were still wide, as she anxiously watched John, just manage to get a hold of something, to prevent himself from falling into the flooding sea.
He could see that Takachi, had also managed to get a grip too, although he was further down, and it appeared that the Japanese man's tenure wasn't secure. The sea was still pouring in under them. Jennings grimly managed to hang on, but it was a struggle. He could see that if he did fall, that would be it.
He suddenly heard Louise cries, the gag reducing them to whimpers, but he heard her. This motivated him.
Get up there, you idiot! He sharply told himself. Louise needs you!
Raising a leg, Jennings somehow managed to get a more firm footing. Then, he began to pull himself up.
Takachi watched in sheer rage and frustration, as his hated enemy seemed to make it. He then pulled out a knife, and made ready to throw it to strike Jennings down.
Louise saw what he was going to do, and she tried to warn her brother, with frantic gagged sounds. Jennings turned to see it, but he needn't have worried. The ship tilted down again, with more effect. Jennings held onto his sister, keeping her in place.
Takachi was caught off guard, the motion of the ship caused him to lose his grip, as he fell screaming into the water below.
Jennings began to cut away Louise's bonds with his own knife, then gently peeled away the tape gag from her mouth. As soon as she was free, both brother and sister hugged each other warmly. Louise clenched her eyes in overwhelming joy, as she held onto him.
'John!' She was still crying, but this time, her tears were of relief. Jennings kissed her forehead gently.
'Its okay, Louise. 'He whispered comfortingly, and then squeezed her hand in affection, and reassurance. 'I'm here. '
He could see the water was now almost upon them, and he gently picked his sister up in his arms. Guessing correctly, that she'd been tied up for so long, Louise wouldn't have been able to walk or run. Quickly, he carried her away from the pursuing sea. Jennings tried to shut every watertight door he passed through, but sometimes he couldn't. There was wreckage everywhere that seriously hindered their progress. The angle of the ship's long passageways were now dangerous obstacle courses. Jennings tried everything he could to delay the water's advance. Anything to get them some extra priceless time. He felt Louise cling to him more, and that made him even more determined to get her safely off.
On board Madam Chen's impressive luxury cruiser, she and Captain Liu were watching the slow demise of the 'Eastern Paradise'. Both were scanning the ship with binoculars. The bow was now completely under the surface, and the massive twin propellors were now well out of the water. The rescue of all the passengers had gone remarkably well. All had made it safely to the ship, that had offered assistance.
Still, Madam Chen sensed that this wasn't the end of the drama. She was constantly thinking of the English girl she'd left tied up and gagged, deep in the doomed ship. Privately, Madam Chen was hoping the girl would survive, and still scanned the decks, hoping to see her there. Liu was also wondering about his friend, Yee.
He asked. 'No sign of Yee, then?' There was much disappointment in him, as the woman shook her head.
'Nothing, 'She simply answered. She was still peering intently, at the sinking ship. 'How long before she goes?'
Liu glanced at his watch, and at his ship. It was still tearing his heart out. He loved that ship, and to see his vessel being destroyed by an act of sabotage incensed him. Not only that, but he'd have to think of something to explain to the customary hearing, on why the ship was lost. That may prove complicated. By God, if Takachi did survive this, he was going to make him pay dearly for this. He'd answered Madam Chen's query immediately.
'I don't think she'll last much longer, its been over an hour. '
Then, he heard her order one of her own crew. 'Find the pilot, and tell him to get the helicopter airborne. Get a rope ladder on, and make it secure. Get somebody to go with him, in case he needs help. '
The order was swiftly obeyed. Within five minutes, the helicopter had lifted off from her boat, and was now flying towards the stricken ship.
Just at that precise moment, Jennings finally made it to the boat deck. Still holding Louise in his arms, he kicked a door open violently, that had blocked their way out. It had been a tough struggle to make it here, but both were glad to have done so. Despite that, Jennings could see that they'd just about ran out of time. No more lifeboats awaited them. They'd all gone. He saw several of them clustered around another ship. Obviously, they were still picking up people. He was proud of Sarah. She was the true hero, as she'd saved all these peoples lives. Now, his and Louise's lives were in serious peril. Both of them noticed the helicopter flying towards them. A rope ladder was dropped from it, and the helicopter hovered near the monstrous stern. Jennings knew they'd both have to go for it.
Just then, Louise spoke. 'John, I think I can walk. Put me down. '
He did so, but she still kept a hold off his hand, as they grimly held onto the railings, gingerly making their way up to the stern. Louise had reached the stern, and the ladder was within her reach. She was just about to grab it, when the stern suddenly lifted sharply. Momentarily, she lost her grip on her brother's hand, and screaming, her body fell over the edge. Fortunately, the railings had slowed her fall, giving Jennings that extra second to instantly dive after her. He managed to regain his hold on her hand, but now noticed his sister was dangling precariously over a sheer drop. If she fell, it was definitely curtains for her. No chance. He thought determinedly.
Louise was still screaming her head off. 'John! Help me, please!' She looked down, and instantly knew she'd made a big mistake in doing so. Her eyes were frantic, pleading at her brother.
Jennings however, was determined to save her. He dug his foot into the railings, praying he had a more secure footing. Then, he leaned over the edge. Wrapping his arm around Louise's back, and then under her shoulders. Gritting his teeth, he began to lift her back. It wasn't easy, but somehow he managed to get Louise back on board. She literally clung to him, crying.
'John, I'm scared!' Inwardly, her brother agreed. They were unable to stand up straight, as the angle of the ship was now higher. The railings were the only thing that kept them from falling. He gently kissed Louise's forehead again, squeezing her hand as well.
'Sshh. 'He whispered into her ear, trying to comfort her. 'You'll make it, Louise. I promise. ' He then led his trembling sister to the ladder. Grabbing it close, he felt Louise's grip on him tighten.
'I'm not going without you, John. 'She was still crying gently, but there was some strength returning in her eyes. Louise meant what she said. Her brother smiled gently in return.
'I'll be there with you. 'he promised her. 'Remember though, its ladies first. '
He helped her, as Louise reluctantly stepped onto the ladder. 'Keep a tight hold, and a good foothold. 'He cautioned her. 'Whatever you do, don't let go, Louise. '
She nodded, but was anxious for him to follow her onto the ladder.
'Come on, John! Hurry!'
Jennings was just about to join her, when there was an ominous roar. The stern lifted again, much higher, forcing him away from his sister.
'John!' Louise screamed in horror, as she watched, frozen at the awesome sight unfolding before her. Being forced away from the ladder by the ship's sudden movement, Jennings had nearly lost his own grip. It was now his turn to dangle helplessly over a sheer drop. Glancing down quickly, he realised that the 'Eastern Paradise' was now making its final plunge into the icy depths.
'My God. 'he whispered fearfully. He was trapped. All he could do was just hold on. If he fell, he'd definitely be killed from this height. Maybe at best, suffer a serious injury. He thought about jumping, when the stern reached the surface, but he knew the suction would just pull him under. Glancing up at what he thought would be his last look on earth. He saw Louise still clinging to the ladder. Yet, despite his own predicament, he saw there was something wrong. She appeared to be frozen, her face paralysed in fear. In fact, he realised that she should have been lifted well clear of the ship. Instead, she was following him down. What the hell? He wondered, then saw the reason why. The ladder had become entangled in the ship's railings! He could just about reach it, and he swung an arm over, to try and unloosen the jam. He was able to just touch the ladder, but maddeningly, couldn't do it. He tried again. Still nothing.
As his arm swung back, Jennings suddenly felt the knife he had sheathed in his back. Quickly, he pulled it out, and made desperate lunges to cut the ladder loose. He just did it, his sister appeared to shoot away from him. He never heard Louise's anguished shriek, as she watched her brother, still clinging to the railings, disappear beneath the waves.
'No! No! John!'Louise howled in despair, praying he'd come back up. However, all she could see was a mass of giant writhing bubbles on the surface.
The helicopter now flew back to its home vessel. The pilot guided the aircraft skillfully over the impressive looking boat, gradually descending, until the waiting boat's crew reached the girl, still clinging to the ladder. They had to prise her fingers open, as she wouldn't let go off it.
Before Louise could say anything, one of the men, a big burly type, suddenly seized her roughly. He placed her over his shoulder easily. Startled, Louise was too stunned to react at first, but she recovered quickly.
'What are you doing?' She yelled out in protest, at this rough treatment. Her fists banging uselessly into the man's back. 'Put me down, you big ape! PUT ME DOWN!' Her screams were ignored, as she was carried into the boat.
The man took her into a large, and luxurious cabin. Anybody who slept in this cabin, had luxury beyond belief. Its main attraction was the king sized bed. The man grinned, as he threw his prize, on her back, onto the bed.
Louise was stunned, as she fearfully, crawled backwards away from the man. What was happening? The man made no move to grab her, or molest her. Instead, he simply folded his arms, and watched her intently. A quiet smile on his face.
Louise realised that she was being kept under guard. But who by? It was then to Louise's horror, she suddenly heard a familiar, but unwelcome woman's voice.
'Good evening, my dear. ' Louise's face was full of alarm, and her eyes raced from side to side, as she spun round to face the grinning, yet sinister Madam Chen. Behind her, stood two burly crewmen, and one of them held plenty of coils of the familiar white rope. All three of them eyed the English girl with lust.
Instinctively, Louise scrambled off the bed to flatten herself against the wall. Her hands behind her, and her breathing was rapid, making her huge breasts even more impressive. The three noticed that, and were pleased.
Madam Chen then told her. 'I'm so pleased to have you back, Louise. 'She was really overjoyed, to have her favourite slave back in her clutches. 'I really thought I'd lost you, when the bomb exploded. '
Louise was too stunned to answer. All she could do, was give the three of them terrified glances. Her eyes darted between them all.
'A great pity about your brother. ' Madam Chen went on, not feeling any pity at all for the girl's brother. 'I'd hoped I'd been able to fight him. 'Her grin became more malicous. 'Just to prove to you, that I would beat him, and I was the superior woman. 'She then sniggered. 'Still, at least he did rescue you, even if it was a temporary one. 'The lust suddenly increased in her tone. 'I'm now going to enjoy your company, Louise. '
Madam Chen slowly rubbed her hands together, relishing what she had planned for the girl. Louise suddenly found her voice. It didn't sound like hers, but she somehow managed to tell the Chinese woman. 'You're insane. '
She couldn't disguise the real fear in her whispering tone.
Madam Chen merely smiled politely at her captive.
'Nonsense, my dear. 'The admonishment was gentle, but her eyes quite clearly, told a different story. 'If I really was insane, I wouldn't know what I was doing, would I?'
The woman stepped menacingly towards Louise. 'Believe me, my dear. I know precisely what I want to do to you. '
Louise was still hanging onto the wall, with her hands behind her. She tried to move away from her tormentor.
Instantly, Madam Chen snapped her fingers at the two crewmen.
'Get her. '
Grinning, both men sprang forward eagerly, and each seized the girl's arms. Louise yelped in fear, as they forced her down onto her knees.
Madam Chen was amused, as she listened to Louise's screams.
'Get your hands off me, you creeps! Leave me alone!'
The cruel elegant Chinese woman then knelt down by the girl, producing a large, wicked blade.
Louise's eyes bulged, as she shut up immediately, when she saw the knife.
She gulped inwardly, as Madam Chen gently used the face of the knife, to stroke through her long hair. 'Such pretty hair. 'She chuckled, relishing her power over the girl, as the silky tresses glided along the polished blade. She was very much looking forward to playing with that hair among other things.
Then, she used the knife face to tilt Louise's chin up to her.
'We're going to take very good care of you, my pretty slave. 'Her voice was calm, but the menace was unmistakable. She then ordered the two men holding Louise. 'Tie her up. '
The men forced their prisoner's wrists behind her, and they started to wrap the lengths of rope over them. Louise glanced desperately around her, for any sign that she could escape. Madam Chen saw this, and increased the despair in her.
'There's no escape. 'She had taken away the knife, but still held Louise's chin. 'It will be so much better for you, if you obey. '
Louise suddenly gave a sharp cry of pain. One of the men had been a little too forceful on her.
Madam Chen tutted at her men. 'Gently now, boys. We don't want to damage any fresh merchandise now, do we?'
Louise groaned in dismay, as she felt the familiar loops of rope being tied over her. The men were making sure she was tied tightly.
Madam Chen assisted, as she wound coils around the girl's ankles and thighs. The men enjoyed tying four loops over and under her breasts. Her chest was magnificent, as the three drooled over the many ropes bound there. Finally, more lengths of rope were tied over her waist. Louise remembered, that this was how she was tied up, when she'd been kidnapped back in Hong Kong. She was totally at their mercy.
Louise made an appeal to them, hoping for any sense of humanity from her captors.
'Please, let me go. '
Madam Chen personally checked the ropes, and was satisfied. The girl wouldn't be able to undo her bonds. The ropes had been pulled as tight as possible, and the knots out of her reach.
Madam Chen turned Louise onto her side, and drank in the sight of the girl bound in her Customs uniform. Then, she pulled out a large white silk scarf, and folded it over several times. She decided to answer the girl, before she applied the scarf on her.
'Why should I let you go, Louise?' She stroked the girl's face possessivelly. 'You're worth a great deal to me, and I want to keep you. Besides, ' A nasty smile lit up on Madam Chen. 'I have something you care about very much. '
Louise struggled in vain against her bonds. The fear in her was multiplied, as she still had to endure the woman's hands crawling all over her. No doubt about it. The woman was a sexual deranged lunatic.
More chuckles from Madam Chen, as she continued to enjoy feeling her helpless captive's body.
Somehow, Louise had the strength to ask, albeit in a shaky tone. 'What do you mean, you have something I want?'
'Well, I have some good news for you, my dear. ' Madam Chen was now smirking at her. 'You may have lost your brother, but we have your elder sister, Sarah. '
Louise's face was shocked and aghast at this bombshell news. She could only gape in horror, at the smug faced woman.
'You kidnapped Sarah?' Louise's voice was full of disbelief. 'Why?'
Madam Chen eyed her prisoner with false kindness. 'Well, Sarah's very pretty, just like you. And I wanted her, for the same reasons, to do the same things I'm going to do to you. '
Louise shook her head again, as she repeated her earlier opinion of her captor. 'You're mad!'
Madam Chen smiled, but ignored the girl's insult.
'Don't worry your pretty little head though. She's perfectly safe, nicely bound and gagged at the auction house in Bangkok. '
'I don't believe you. 'Louise prayed she was bluffing. Yet, somehow she sensed that Sarah was in trouble.
Madam Chen then produced a large photograph. The evil smirk was still on her face, as she showed it to Louise. Stunned, Louise saw the image of her sister, dressed in her white naval uniform. In the photograph, Sarah was bound and gagged, and her eyes were staring wide in fear at the camera. The ropes had been tied exactly the same way as Louise was. The only thing different, was that Louise wasn’t gagged yet, but she was sure that wouldn’t last long. There were even hands touching Sarah's tied legs, and even more shocking, a knife was held at her throat.
'Sarah's very sexy, isn't she, Louise?' Madam Chen correctly observed. 'Just like yourself. We're taking you to her, and there's plenty of time for a nice family reunion. 'Her eyes settled on Louise's heaving chest. 'I have other more… 'she paused, before continuing, 'pleasurable things to enjoy. '
Louise's eyes suddenly flared in hate. She shouted at the woman angrily. 'You sick bitch! Go to hmmmmffff!'
With lightning reflexes, Madam Chen jammed the thick silk scarf into Louise's mouth, filling it completely. Then, she made sure it was secure, as she tied a double knot at the back of the girl's head. Louise gave a tiny mumble of dismay, as she was gagged. Madam Chen enjoyed tying the gag over the girl’s long hair. She fastened the last knot tightly with relish.
Louise realised she could barely make any sound at all now, she was completely silenced.
Madam Chen then threw her prize onto the bed, still on her back. Still stroking Louise's cheek, she noticed something. 'Why, both you and Sarah have the same eyes. 'She enjoyed looking at them. 'That may come in handy later, if I decide to sell you both. '
Louise tried to drag herself away from her, but she was easily grabbed back, by the two still silent crewmen. Madam Chen dismissed them both, but she did thank them for their help.
'I'll give the girl to you later. Once I'm finished with her. '
Both men grinned in eager anticipation, and left.
Louise tried to scream, not for help, but from the terror that was just dominating her. Her gag was highly efficient though, barely any sound came out at all.
Madam Chen then pounced on her, she was growling like an animal, determined to ravish this pretty slave. Her hands went back to fondling and squeezing the girl's impressive breasts. She sneered at Louise's vain struggles.
'This time, Louise. Nothing will stop your voyage into slavery. No one is coming to rescue you, and you won't escape. ' The menace was fully there in her voice. 'The only thing now that I want from you, is your total obedience. 'She seized Louise's chin again. 'Do you understand, my pretty?'
Louise's eyes blazed back utter hatred at her. Madam Chen simply laughed that off.
'Well, in time. Perhaps you will. I'm sure you wouldn't want anything nasty happen to Sarah now, would you?'
Louise was now totally defeated. The overwhelming despair made her realise that she had to obey, for Sarah's sake. If ever she needed a miracle, it was now.
Madam Chen was still enjoying herself immensely, the girl's face was enough to tell her, that she held the upper hand. Who knows? The two English girls could be used as highly prized hostages, should the need arise. If not, well, there were two more gorgeous sex slaves added to her personal collection. She was amused to see Louise start to cry. No doubt thinking of her late brother. Madam Chen mused correctly.
Louise was thinking of John. The awful memory of him being taken to a watery grave, still fresh in her mind. If he was still alive, there was always hope. Now, with her brother dead, her hopes of rescue had all, but faded. Madam Chen then increasingly made her more alarmed.
'Don't worry though. I won't sell you, my dear. The auctions always attract some highly dangerous, and unpleasant people. '
She lifted Louise up from the bed, by the back of her neck. God, she was gorgeous! She smiled, which the girl hated, especially what she said next.
'Its been known that if they fail to buy the girl of their choice, its guaranteed they'll attempt to kidnap her for themselves. '
Louise could only still mumble weakly into her gag. Somebody help me, please! Her thoughts were desperate, as Madam Chen began to enjoy her captive's sexy body again. It was then, that the woman's mobile rang.
Not pleased at being disturbed, Madam Chen answered the call with a sharp, 'Yes?' She listened for a few moments, and Louise, grateful for a reprieve, listened. She could see that Madam Chen's face was clearly taken aback.
'What do you mean, he survived?' She couldn't believe what she was hearing. 'That's impossible! I saw him go down with the ship!'
Louise's eyes suddenly flared in renewed hope. John! He was alive! Still mumbling weakly into her gag, she strained to listen to more of the conversation.
'Was he picked up?'Madam Chen was asking. 'Damn! How is he?'
Louise desperately tried to hear that part, but the woman answered it for her.
'I see. No, just follow where they take him, and don't lose sight of him. '
She turned to face Louise, her face was still mad. For the first time in ages, Louise felt relieved, and glad. However, it still wasn't nice to hear Madam Chen say. 'Don't worry. I'll take care of him. After all, I have some pretty bait to lure him in, when he comes to rescue his sisters. 'She then ended the call.
Madam Chen's mad expression stayed for a few moments. How the hell had Jennings survived that? He must have had a guardian angel watching over him. Still, she calmed down, as she then roughly pushed Louise back onto the bed. She saw the new life in the girl's eyes, but that didn't bother her. It would just make it better, to destroy that new hope, and still have Louise completely in her power.
'Well, well. It appears your brother must have been very resourceful, to have survived that, Louise. '
Louise ignored the woman's taunts. He's coming for me. That was the only thing she was thinking, and despite her current predicament, a bound and gagged hostage, or slave. Louise was smiling inside. She just hoped he'd get to them, before this mad woman did decide to sell them into some sex maniac's clutches.
Madam Chen was of course, privately pleased. She was also looking forward to Jennings' return. Now, she could fight him, and prove to her favorite pretty slave, that she would beat him. For now, she concentrated on enjoying Louise's bound and gagged body with more lustful intent.
'Well, I shall enjoy seeing him again, just as you will, Louise. ' Her next statement made Louise's fear come back, and increase in her. 'I did promise you, that I would kill him, didn't I?' Louise felt her chin painfully gripped, as the woman whispered lovingly into her captive's face. 'Still, there's plenty of time for that, so let's enjoy some quality time together, shall we, my dear?' Louise then felt the woman start on her again. She whimpered into her gag, praying that John wouldn't take his time.
Next
