Voyage into Slavery Chapter 30
Angela and Kelly were now hopelessly lost. They'd tried to keep Jennings in sight, but this had backfired on them, as they didn't want him to see them. Both called to him, as loud as they dared. There was no reply. In fact, they were on a different floor to him. There was still a heavy presence of heavily armed men, as they raced past the two hiding girls. It looked as if there was going to be a major gun battle.
'Where is he?' Kelly was now anxious. As long as they'd kept Jennings in sight, they'd felt secure. Now, with no sign of him anywhere, they felt as if they'd walked right back into the lion's mouth.
Angela was just as worried. She desperately wanted to be with him, but the longer they couldn't find him, the greater the risk of being recaptured. Angela prayed that wouldn't happen. They had both decided to split up.
'I'll go down. 'Angela nodded at the English girl. 'You try this floor, then go up. He's got to be close.'
'Got it. ' Kelly replied. 'Be careful.'
'You, too. ' Both moved away from each other, not seeing that they were being watched.
Captain Liu observed the two women with relish. He and one of Madam Chen's men made sure the girls couldn't see them. They both watched them split up. He whispered to the man.
'You get the Chinese woman. I'll grab the English girl.' The man grinned, and quietly closed in on Angela.
Liu still kept his eye out for Jennings, but so far, hadn't seen him. He produced a small bottle, and dabbed the familiar chloroform generously onto the large cotton wool pad.
The girl still had his back to him, as he moved nearer to her. She was gorgeous. Liu admitted. Even better to have her back, as one of Madam Chen's sex slaves.
Kelly called out. 'John, where are you? I need you.'
Still no response. She finally conceded that he wasn't on this level, so slowly stood to check elsewhere.
Liu fully admired the girl in her naval uniform, she did look stunning in it. Then, he grabbed her.
Kelly gasped in shock, her scream never leaving her lungs as Liu clamped the cotton wool pad over her mouth.
'Hello again, my pretty. ' He sneered in her ear. 'Not leaving us, are you?'
Kelly's eyes were wide in fear. She'd never been chloroformed before, and she couldn't escape from it. The cotton wool refused to leave her mouth, and her eyes rolled upwards, as she fell limp in Liu's tight grip.
Her captor smiled. 'I think Madam Chen will be delighted to see you. '
He put away the chloroform soaked pad, and lifted Kelly over his shoulder. The girl's arms and hair flailed limply down his back, as he took her away. All that remained was to be told that the Chinese girl had been taken.
Angela was still searching for Jennings. Please let me find him. Her thoughts were desperate. There was always the hope, that he'd find her first. It suddenly occurred to her, that she was now completely lost. Angela really started to get more nervous. Despite the empty corridors, she still heard men shouting in Thai. No doubt, the bullets would start flying soon. Angela now felt naked, without any weapon. Maybe, she'd better find one. She never got the chance.
A hand clamped over her mouth, stifling her surprised yell. Her arms were forced behind her, and Angela's eyes were huge. The hand tightened, and she froze, as a gun was held at her neck.
'I strongly suggest you do as you're told. 'A man's voice told her calmly. 'I'm sure you value your friend's life. We have her. So, are you going to be sensible?'
Helpless, Angela had to nod.
'Very wise, Miss Lee. 'The man still kept her handgagged, as he forced her along. 'Now, let's take you to her. '
She was dragged quickly into a waiting lift. Her eyes still searching for Jennings, and she couldn't help, but still try to call out for help. The hand was effective though, keeping her cries to a bare minimum. The lift sped downwards for a few moments, and Angela tried to see where it would take her. All the time, she was firmly held, and silenced.
The lift finally stopped, and Angela could now see, that they'd arrived deep underground. A small boat came into her view, and there were only a few armed men standing guard over it. However, Angela knew them to be Madam Chen's loyal men, and much to her horror, she suddenly recognised Captain Liu. The man was grinning, as she could see that he now held Kelly, over his shoulder.
He carried her onto the boat, and Angela found herself being forced on it. The boat could still carry several people comfortably, and it also held plenty of supplies.
Liu was pleased to see that it also had plenty of rope. Just what I need. He thought maliciously.
'Right, let's get them tied up. 'He curtly ordered.
Already, he'd gently laid Kelly's unconscious form on the floor. He pulled her arms behind her, and crossed her wrists. The lengths of rope were already in his hands, as he wound coil after coil over the girl's wrists.
He was pleased to see Angela being forced onto her knees. The pretty Chinese girl gulped, as her captor did the same with her wrists. Satisfied that the girls' hands were secure, both men then tied the prisoners' ankles together.
'Put them back to back. 'Liu ordered.
This was promptly done. To make the bindings even more effective, Liu added another couple of coils over both their wrists.
He smirked at Angela. 'Just to make sure you can't help each other. '
Angela realised with dismay, that he was right. Her hands were secure with Kelly's. There was no way they could help each other, to try and free themselves. The ropes cut harshly into them, and she could see more of them being prepared. Despite the fear crawling inside her, Angela stared defiantly at Liu.
'Jennings will save us, and he'll deal with you. '
Liu still kept his smirk, as he wound more loops of rope over her's and Kelly's breasts. He pulled the loops tight, as he tied the knots. Now, Angela and Kelly were tied back to back.
However, Liu still hadn't finished. He then secured more loops under their impressive chests.
'Well, then. 'He replied unfazed to Angela's taunt. 'We'll just have to see how it goes then, won't we my dear?'
He ignored the girl's glare, as he then produced a roll of white tape. Tearing off a generous strip, he gripped Angela's chin to close her lips. Then, he firmly placed the tape over her mouth.
'Very pretty. 'Liu pressed the tape more firmly in, reinforcing the gag. 'Just like your friend. '
He did the same to Kelly, making sure she was tightly gagged.
The English girl was slowly recovering from the chloroform attack. Liu lovingly stroked his hands over Kelly's legs. Angela could only watch horrified. Liu noticed it.
'Don't get impatient, Miss Lee. 'The sexual lust fully evident in his tone. 'You'll be next. '
He stopped stroking Kelly's legs, as he then finished tying them up. To make the girls even more helpless, he wound plenty of the ropes above their knees.
'There!' He was pleased, as he gazed down at his two pretty hostages. 'You'll stay like that, for quite some time. '
Angela's fear was still running amok inside her. She heard Kelly mumble faintly behind her. Evidently, their gags would ensure their silence.
Liu then picked up a radio. He smiled as he made contact with Madam Chen. He had some good news to tell her. Madam Chen was indeed pleased.
'Excellent work, Captain. 'She listened with pleasure, as Liu informed her of Angela and Kelly's recapture. 'I'll be there shortly, with another pretty slave. '
She stared with mischievous intent at Louise, still bound and gagged to the chair. The girl had started to struggle more desperately against her own bonds. Her soft gagged moans excited Madam Chen, who always enjoyed watching her vain attempts.
'Patience, my pretty. 'She slid her hand down Louise's cheek, smiling at the girl's pleading eyes. 'I'll get you out of here very soon.'
This wasn't what Louise wanted to hear. She could only turn her head away in disgust, as Madam Chen gloated at her. Inside her though, Louise's hopes of rescue were still there.
This was reinforced, when one armed man suddenly came into the room.
'The police are here. Madam Chen.'
The woman wasn't alarmed at this revelation. Instead, she asked calmly. 'How many of them are there?'
'A lot. They're armed too.'
'Really? Well, you'd better deal with them then, hadn't you?'
She then ordered several of the men guarding Louise, to go with the man. Only one man remained on her orders. She looked at Louise, and the girl shrank back as her blood ran cold hearing Madam Chen order coldly.
'If her brother comes, kill him. I want the girl alive. Understood?'
The man nodded. His own expression giving him the appearance of a cold blooded killer. He just stared at Louise.
With that done, Madam Chen left the room to go and check what was happening outside. She never saw Jennings hiding.
Finally! He thought. Only one to deal with. Creeping up, he watched the man to see if he had his back turned to him. He had. Louise was sitting in her enforced position, with her own back to him. So that was a bonus. If his sister had seen him, she could have unwittingly given his position away. He saw that the door was open, and quietly crept up to the guard. The man's weapon was aimed at Louise, but Jennings knew what to do. He suddenly grabbed the man in a stranglehold, and squeezed. He'd caught the man totally by surprise, but knew he had to finish him quick. The man collapsed within moments.
Louise couldn't see what had happened, as she was straining her head to see what was going on. When she saw her brother turn her chair around to face him, tears of joy streamed down her face. Jennings smiled in reassurance at her.
'You okay?'
Louise nodded, still trying to speak against the gag. He took it away, and she could at last speak.
'John!' The relief was overwhelming her. 'Am I glad to see you. ' Her voice shook as she said that.
Jennings now started to cut away the many ropes bound all over her. It was then they both heard the sounds of gunfire.
'What's that?' Louise yelped, jumping in the chair.
'Hopefully, it's the cavalry. 'Jennings answered. He knew he'd have to help Inspector Panna and his men. The amount of firepower Madam Chen's men possessed was unbelievable. They wouldn't stand a chance.
I'll think of something, he always did.
Finally, he cut away the last of the ropes. Louise instantly grabbed him in deep gratitude. She was still gently crying, as she held onto him.
'I thought you were dead, John. '
He returned her hug warmly.
'Hey, you know I won't leave my favourite sister. '
She knew what to say to that. 'I know what you say to Sarah now. '
Jennings kissed her gently on her cheek. 'Both of you are my favourite sisters. You and Sarah are my life. I won't let anything happen to you both. '
He still had to get Sarah, but he would see to Louise first.
'Can you stand?' He asked her. The gun battle could still be heard, as she slowly tried to. However, Louise shook her head.
'John, I can't. '
'Don't worry. 'He reassured her. 'I'll carry you out. '
He picked her up easily, but then Madam Chen's voice came in.
'Going somewhere?'
Jennings spun around to see the Chinese woman standing in the door frame. She was alone too. A quiet, confident smile was visible on her face, as she advanced into the room. Jennings instantly pulled his sister behind him.
'I've been looking forward to this moment, Jennings. 'Madam Chen told him politely, even though her look never left the girl.
Jennings felt Louise cling more tightly to him, as she almost buried her face deep into his back. He suddenly spotted the knife the woman held. He was glad to have his own blade, but he was confident himself at taking this woman on.
'Well, my dear. ' She was now addressing Louise, peering in fright over her brother's shoulder. 'I did promise you your brother's death. Let's see if he's the worthy fighter I think he is. '
Jennings looked in contempt at Madam Chen. 'I'm going to make you pay for what you've done. 'He meant every word. Still keeping his eyes on the woman, Jennings half turned to his sister, whispering.
'Louise, when I tell you to run, go. Okay?'
'No, John. 'Her reply was adamant. 'I don't want to leave you. '
Madam Chen heard that, as she assured her favourite slave. 'You won't escape, my dear. I'll make sure you don't defy me again. When I punish my slaves, they'll always stay in line.'
Jennings shook his head in more contempt. This woman was mad, as he heard her then say. 'I'm going to enjoy punishing you, Louise. '
'Louise is not your slave, nor are any of all the other girls you've kidnapped. 'Jennings suddenly got the extra second he needed. Madam Chen had just opened her mouth to sneer in response, when she felt him kick the knife painfully, out of her grasp. Then, she found herself kicked in her midriff. She tumbled back onto the floor.
Jennings grabbed his sister from behind him. 'Louise, run!' Louise didn't hesitate. She bolted out of the room. Madam Chen watched her run, unable to prevent her.
'Stop her!' She shouted angrily outside, praying some of her men were there. 'Get the girl!'
She could hear the running sounds of her men close by, and attempted to rise. Jennings however, kicked out again at her. His swipe hitting the woman's legs, causing Madam Chen to tumble back. As she did so, her head hit one of the furniture pieces. She lay stunned.
Jennings had no sympathy, and would have liked to have inflicted more punishment on her. However, he hurried out after Louise. He found her just outside. She'd waited for him. Quickly, he grabbed her hand and led her towards the main entrance. Suddenly, more armed men came into their view, and Jennings could see that they'd been spotted too. Weapons were aimed at them, and he made sure his sister was under cover.
'Stay down, okay?' he told her, as he prepared his own weapon. Louise nodded, but he could still see that she was scared stiff. Already, they'd opened fire on him, the bullets passing uncomfortably close to them both. Louise covered her ears, as she tried to sink even lower to avoid being hit. Jennings knew he had to be quick. A long firefight here could prove disastrous. The longer he and Louise stayed, the more chance the bad guys had of escaping with Sarah and Kieko.
Quickly leaning out, he then began to return fire at his opponents. His own shots were deadly. The men facing him were not professional soldiers, they just blazed away at him. Jennings had fought in many battles, and knew precisely how to eliminate any threat. He was grateful for the brilliant training in the British army. It really was the best. Every time he fired, he made sure he hit his targets. Within a minute, he'd finished them off. Their bodies lay sprawled all over. Even so, he'd better make sure.
Glancing at Louise, he touched her shoulder. 'Stay down, Louise. 'he warned. 'I'll just make sure its clear. '
'Don't be long, John. Please. 'She insisted, desperate to get away from this awful place.
He nodded, and slowly began to check the area out. No more armed opposition came out to face him. Grimly satisfied, he was just about to turn around, and tell Louise it was clear, when he heard her scream. Seeing why, he froze.
Madam Chen held her tight, and she had a gun at Louise's neck. An evil smile on her face seemed to make the Chinese woman appear demented.
'Drop the gun. 'She ordered.
Jennings didn't obey. If he did, he was finished. Instead, he slowly knelt, keeping his own weapon aimed. However, he could not get a clear shot. Madam Chen made sure of that, as she kept her head behind the girl's.
'Let her go. 'Jennings' own tone was hardly human.
Madam Chen had no such intention. She suddenly clamped her hand over Louise's mouth. Her expression betraying something. Jennings saw the shadow move behind him, and he spun round to shoot the man creeping up on him. The man had hoped to ambush him with a knife, but the surprise was still there on his face, as he fell.
However, as Jennings turned back to face Madam Chen, his own body was struck by gunfire.
The woman smiled in sadistic delight, as she coldly gunned Jennings down. He was hit several times, and he collapsed backwards. Louise screamed in horror behind the hand gagging her, as she watched her brother fall.
Still smirking, Madam Chen gripped her prisoner more tightly. Louise fought with almost superhuman strength to try and break free. It was useless. The hand stayed firm over her mouth, and no amount of violent shaking of her head could dislodge it.
'Well, I don't think your brother will be rescuing you any more. 'Madam Chen gloated. 'Will he, my dear?'
Still struggling furiously, Louise was dragged away. She was now crying, as she was forced away from her brother's unmoving body.
Madam Chen chuckled, as she took her into the waiting lift that would take them to the waiting boat, down below. When they reached the boat, Louise was shoved into Liu's eager clutches.
'Get her tied up, and gagged. 'Madam Chen ordered curtly. 'We'd better get out of here. The police will eventually overrun the place. '
Liu had already forced Louise onto her stomach, and had grabbed her wrists behind her. There was still more than enough rope to bind another pretty slave, he grinned to himself. Tying the rope around Louise's wrists, he was a little surprised to hear her shout angrily.
'You murdered him!' She suddenly saw that she wasn't the only captive on the boat. Angela and Kelly were looking on in shock over their large white tape gags. Sarah was there too, lying beside them, completely trussed up with coils of strong white ropes, the same gag applied over her mouth. There was also the young Japanese woman, who was laid out next to Sarah's immobile form, just as helpless as all the other girls were.
Liu finished tying Louise's hands behind her, and was now starting on her ankles.
He asked, somewhat faintly surprised. 'Jennings is dead?'
Madam Chen smiled at all the bound and gagged girls. It was a nasty smile, as she confirmed.
'I'm afraid your knight in shining armour, won't be able to rescue you anymore, ladies. '
This made her prisoners look on in more disbelief. There was a moan from them all. None of the girls could believe it, but this was reinforced when Louise was still glaring at her captors in half hate, half terror. Especially at Madam Chen.
'You murdering bitch!' Louise practically screamed it out in despairing rage. The memory of John being so coldly gunned down, still fresh in her mind.
'Oh dear. 'Madam Chen feigned mild shock at the girl's outburst. 'I think we'd better gag you, my dear. '
Liu threw her the large roll of white tape, and Madam Chen tore off a more than generous strip. Then, she gripped Louise's struggling head by her chin, and planted it forcefully over the girl's mouth.
'So much better, my pretty slave. 'The woman sneered in Louise's face. 'I told you I'd punish you for your defiance. '
She then helped Liu, who was now wrapping ropes over her upper body.
'Nice and tight. 'She chuckled, tying Louise's thighs together.
'Don't worry. 'Liu reassured. 'None of them are going anywhere. '
Finally, Louise was securely bound and gagged, just like all the other girls.
Liu then asked. 'The usual place?'
The woman nodded, and smiled as she watched him prepare the boat for departure. She then leaned over Louise, whose eyes were still glaring at her, over the tape gag. She stroked her finger down the girl's cheek.
'We have a nice little country retreat, just in case things like this happened. 'Madam Chen's face was almost touching Louise's gagged face. She was going to enjoy ravishing this gorgeous beauty.
'Nobody will find you. 'She faced the other girls. 'None of you will ever be found. You're all my latest collection of new slaves, and I'm going to show you, what you can expect. '
The boat was cast off, and made its escape.
Madam Chen then began to start on Louise. The girl screamed ineffectively into her gag, as the woman's hands fondled and squeezed her huge breasts with relish.
The other girls could only watch in total despair, unable to help Louise.
Madam Chen was highly skilled in her love making, as she continued her assault on the English girl. Louise clenched her eyes fiercely shut, as she knew the woman was going to rape her. She ignored Madam Chen's warning.
'Don't resist, Louise. I can make you come anytime I want. 'The Chinese woman was secretly impressed though. She admired the girl's defiance, it would make it more pleasurable to break her.
Finally, she won through. Louise cried in shame, as she felt her climax overwhelm her.
Madam Chen grinned in triumph. She took Louise by the hair, and turned her face up to look at her captor. Madam Chen was thrilled with the look of shame and defeat in them.
'Very nice, Louise. 'She complimented. 'I've waited a long time to do that for you. 'She kissed the girl's gagged mouth. 'There'll be more to come, that's a promise. '
Her lust wasn't satisfied however, as she gazed intently at the frightened bound and gagged girls.
'Now then, ladies, who's next?'
