Voyage into Slavery Ch6

Kieko Yamamoto was still sitting in the chair,she'd been bound and gagged in.Her body was tightly secured,with loops of white rope.She couldn't move her body at all.

In fact,Kieko realised this was the best thing to do.Her eyes were still wide with fear,as she stared at the mounted rifle,that was aimed at her chest.

Kieko's eyes also never left the string,that Yee had attached,to the rifle's trigger,and to her cabin door handle.During her early struggles,Kieko had seen movement,wasn't a good idea.Any vibration in the room,made the string move,and that wasn't what Kieko wanted.

Despite her being still,Kieko also noticed,that her captors had made sure the string,wasn't going to stay that way.She could see it,gradually falling away.If that happened,she was finished.

The large strip of black tape,over Kieko's mouth,kept her effectively gagged.Even if her muted cries had been heard by somebody walking by outside,opening the door,would again prove fatal.

Still securely bound,and gagged,Kieko's desperation was increasing.All she could do,was to hope Jennings would find her,and save her.

It was then,that she jumped in fright,as she heard a knock on her cabin door outside.

'Miss Yamamoto?'It was Jennings' voice!'You okay in there?'

'Don't come in,Jennings-san!' Kieko tried to scream behind her gag,but she barely heard her own mumbling.

He knocked again,and Kieko still desperately tried to warn him,but again,her gag kept her silent.It was then,to her horror,she saw the door handle move downwards.

Jennings had knocked twice,on Kieko's door.He heard no reply,to his query.He waited,hoping Kieko would open the door for him.When this didn't happen after a couple of minutes,his concerns grew.

Better go in,and check it out.He told himself.She may need help.

He grasped the door handle,starting to open it.However,he stopped lowering it,noticing something was odd.

The handle was stiff.All the other cabin doors he'd opened,had proved much easier.

His senses were on full alert now.Jennings put his ear to the door,and listened.He could hear something,but it was very faint.

She's in trouble.He just knew it.The question was,how was he going to get inside?

It was then he remembered the secret entrance,in his cabin,leading to the next room.

Jennings made his way to the cabin,next to Kieko's,and knocked politely.There was no answer,and gambling,he opened the door,and entered.

Fortunately,the room was empty,so there was no need for polite excuses.

He made his way straight over,to the built in cupboards,and opened them up.Sure enough,he could see the same design on the wall,just as his was.He then made the neccessary adjustments,and the wall slid away.

Jennings entered Kieko's cabin,but instantly stopped in shock,at what he saw.

The Japanese girl had been tightly tied up,and gagged,to a chair.Her beautiful black eyes were pleading at him,over her tape gag.It was then Jennings noticed,the mounted rifle,aimed directly at the helpless girl.

For another second,Jennings was still stunned,but then he saw the string on the trigger,and on the door handle inside.

It was going to break!

Just as the string did snap,setting off the trigger,Jennings reacted.

With lightening reflexes,he grabbed the chair,where Kieko was tied to,and got her out of the firing line.The bullet passed harmlessly,into the wall.

Sighing,and with much relief,Jennings gently put Kieko upright,and carefully removed her gag.

'You okay?'He asked her concernedly,as he then started to untie the many ropes,wound tight over Kieko's body.

'Thank you.'Kieko was so pleased to see him,and to be finally free of the tape gag.'I am fine.'

He finally untied the last rope,and helped her to her feet.His reward,was Kieko instantly wrapped her arms around his shoulders,and she gave him a warm,grateful kiss.

'Thank you,Jennings-san.'Kieko gazed at him,with deep affection.'For saving my life.'

Jennings blushed slightly,but he enjoyed her kiss.'You're welcome.'He smiled back,before asking.'How long were you tied up there? Who did this to you?'

'It was the first officer,Yee.'Kieko shuddered,as she recalled being chloroformed.'They wanted to test you,to see what you could do in saving me.'

'If that's the case,' Jennings admitted.'These people are indeed,bad news.'

He then thought a walk,would do Kieko good.

'Come on.'Jennings offered his hand to her,which she accepted.'Let's go up on deck,get some fresh air.'

They both left the cabin,and still hand in hand,headed up.As they left,neither Jennings,nor Kieko noticed,that they were still being watched.

As Jennings led Kieko,up onto the boat deck,he failed to spot Sarah,just coming onto the 'Eastern Princess',from the gangway.His sister,in return,also didn't see him,as he disappeared around the corner,with Kieko.

Sarah was unsure where to start looking.She still remembered that it had been a woman,that had spoken to Suzy earlier.Maybe she should look for a female member of the crew.

Maybe she's seen me come on board.Sarah thought.She had no idea,how coldly accurate this was.

Watching Sarah from the bridge,was Captain Liu.He grinned with relish,as he felt his lions bulge.The English girl was gorgeous.Liu couldn't wait to grab her.

He then issued an order,to one of his crew,setting the plan in motion,to capture her.

Sarah had decided to wait,just by the gangway.Here,she could still see the customs building,and would see Suzy emerge,with the cavalry,should the need arise.

However,at the moment,there didn't seem to be any cause for alarm.Sarah wasn't bothered by anybody,and she sensed the mood of the passengers,was pretty good.

Even so,if her brother was in trouble,Sarah was going to help him,no matter what.Even their youngest sister,Kelly,would do exactly the same.They'd all help each other,as brothers and sisters should do.

Sarah was still waiting by the gangway,when she heard a man's voice speak to her,in English.

'Miss Jennings?'

Sarah turned to face one of the crew.He was a senior officer.Sarah noted that,from his shoulder lapels.

'Yes?' Sarah answered carefully.

'The Captain has requested your presence.'The man informed her.'He's waiting for you,on the bridge.'

'How did you know my name?' Sarah was being careful here.For all she knew,this man might be one of the bad guys.

His response though,soon shattered that thought.

'He told me to tell you,it's about your brother.'His voice didn't sound nasty,or threatening,only informative.'He has important news for you about him.Says he's in danger.'

This made Sarah instantly decide to go up there.'Okay,you take me to him,right now.'She added the emphasis at the end,but the man did obey her command.

He finally led her onto the bridge.Sarah noticed all the bridge crew busy.None of them gave her a second glance,and there was still no sign of anything suspicious.

The crewman knocked on the Captain's ready room door,and after hearing permission to enter,opened the door,and gestured politely for Sarah to go in.

'Thank you.' Sarah nodded,as she did so.The first thing she saw,was the first officer,sitting behind a desk.Sarah recognised his rank,but there was no sign of the Captain.

Yee was pleased to see the girl had decided to come up here.She's just made a big mistake.He smirked to himself,still relishing her impressive figure.She'll sell well.Yee knew that,without a doubt.

However,he kept those thoughts to himself,and went on with the deception.He dismissed the crewman,and stood up,offering his hand to Sarah.

'Good evening.'He smiled politely.'I'm first officer Yee.Welcome aboard the 'Eastern Princess.'

Sarah accepted his hand.'I'm Lieutenant Sarah Jennings,Royal Navy.I understand the Captain wanted to see me.'

'Yes,Captain Liu sends his apologies.He's just been delayed by another matter,but has ordered me,to take you to him.'

Sarah still wanted to check out a few things first.

'I had a message from a Chinese woman.'Sarah remembered the phone call,made to Suzy.'She mentioned my brother may be in trouble,on this ship.'

'Oh?' Yee acted suprised,but was still enjoying himself.'Concerning?'

'I don't know.'Sarah decided not to tell him.After all,he might be one of the bad guys.'All I was told,was that he may need help here.'

Suddenly,the phone on Liu's desk rang,and Yee answered immediately.It was Liu.

'We're ready.'His Captain told him.'Bring her down to me.'

'Yes,Sir.' Yee acknowledged his order,then pressed the hidden switch,under Liu's desk.

Sarah was slightly startled,to see a section of the wall slide away.The lift door,now revealed itself.

'Would you follow me,please,Miss Jennings?' Yee asked her politely,and rose from the chair,heading over to the lift.

Sarah followed him,somewhat hesitant.There were faint alarm bells ringing in her now,but these people had information on John,and she desperately wanted to find out.

Once they were both in the lift,Yee pressed the level he desired.Sarah felt the lift go down a long way,and there was no more conversation,between her,and Yee.In fact,Sarah could feel him looking at her,with perhaps more sinister intent.Her alarm bells,were slowly increasing.

The lift finally stopped,and Yee exited first.Sarah could see a double set of doors,with a sign marked 'Cargo Hold 4'.

Yee had already made his way to the doors,and had opened them.It was then,that Sarah became aware,of a distant moaning sound,coming from behind the doors.Her uneasiness increased,as she noticed Yee gesturing at someone,to come forward.

Instantly,Sarah heard the sound of a woman's footsteps coming closer.She then saw a young Chinese woman enter.Sarah could see,that the woman was really beautiful,but she could also see,from her face,there was only a sinister smile showing.

'Good evening,my dear.' Kim Yang introduced herself.'My name is Kim Yang.I made the phone call earlier,telling you about your brother.'

'Where is he?' Sarah's fear for John was fully evident.'What's happened to him?'

'Nothing at all,my dear.' Kim Yang answered,still smiling at Sarah,which made her skin crawl.'He's perfectly safe,I assure you.'

Sarah could instantly detect the cunning,in Kim Yang's tone of voice.She didn't like her at all.

'What's going on here?' Sarah demanded.It was just beginning to dawn on her,that she was down here by herself.

'Oh,it's very simple,my dear.' Kim Yang went on.'Your brother's a very real threat,to our operation we run here.We had to think of something,that would make him think twice,about interfering with us.' Her smile became more menacing.'We were very pleased,to find you nearby.'

'What do you mean?'Sarah's alarm bells were now ringing inside her,like mad.'What operation?'

'I'll show you.Would you please enter the room,my dear?'

Suddenly,Sarah noticed the Chinese woman produce a pistol,and aimed it at her.Her eyes widened,as Sarah nervously took a step back.

'Now,now,Miss Jennings.'Kim Yang warned her,in a calm,but still menacing tone.'Don't be foolish.You wouldn't get very far,so please be sensible.' The woman sharply gestured with her gun,for Sarah to enter the cargo hold.

Sarah inwardly gulped.She was being kidnapped,and it was all her fault,believing the bad guys lure,to get her on board.Sarah had no doubt at all,she'd be used as a hostage against John.Yet,there was nothing she could do,only to do,as her kidnappers demanded.

Helpless,Sarah slowly walked forward,and into the cargo hold.The moment she was ahead of Kim Yang,Sarah felt the gun prod into her back.

'Good girl.'Kim Yang was satisfied.'Just keep going,my pretty.I did promise you,to show what we do here.'

Kim Yang forced Sarah along,with the moaning sound,now more evident.As they both rounded a corner,in the hold,Sarah couldn't help,but freeze in shock,at what she saw.

Sarah clearly saw all the large cages stashed in here,and all the many single,bound and gagged women locked up securely inside them.All the girls were young,and really beautiful,yet Sarah knew she was going to join them.She suddenly remembered,what Suzy had told her,back in the customs building,about suspected kidnappings.Now,she was their latest prize.

'As you can see,my dear.' Kim Yang gloated,into her ear.'Every girl we have here,will fetch an excellent price,when we put them for auction,when we reach Bangkok.I've no doubt you'll be one of our star sellers too.'

Sarah panicked at this.Being sold as a sex slave,was the last thing she wanted.I've got to get away from here! She thought frantically.But how? The Chinese woman made sure the gun was held,into her back.She couldn't possibly turn around that quick,and disarm her.They had her cold.

Ahead of her,Yee was in the process,of unlocking one of the few empty cages.Sarah knew,this was where she was going to end up.The thought of being bound and gagged,didn't help either.

I need a distraction! Sarah was praying for one.Despite her being held captive,Sarah's mind was still sharp,just waiting,and hoping for an opportunity to present itself.

Yee had swung the cage door open,and turned to face the nervous looking English girl.He smiled,as he produced,to Sarah's alarm,plenty of rope.

'You want me to tie her up,Miss Yang?' He asked hopefully.

'A generous offer,Mr Yee.' Kim Yang however,had already made up her mind.'I'll make sure Miss Jennings is nice,and secure.'

Just then,Sarah felt the gun being taken away,from her back,but before she could react,Kim Yang seized her hands behind her.

Yee tossed the many rope coils over to her,and Sarah felt her wrists being criss crossed with the rope.She gasped in pain,as Kim Yang tightened each loop over them.
The Chinese woman smiled,in relish,as she tied the girl's hands,before finally enjoying hearing Sarah's grunt of pain,as she made the last knot secure.

Suddenly,to Sarah's horror,she felt the woman's hands touch her breasts.This made Sarah squeal,in outraged shock,especially when she heard the woman chuckle,fully enjoying taking advantage over her.

'Very nice,my dear.' Kim Yang whispered into Sarah's ear,still lovingly fondling the girl's impressive bust.'Your breasts are magnificent.They'll certainly make me very rich indeed.'

'Get your hands off me,you bitch!' Sarah shouted angrily.Instantly,she broke free from the woman's grasp,completely taking her captors by suprise.She bolted for the doors,desperately attempting to escape this awful place.

'Get her!'Kim Yang had recovered quickly,and both she and Yee raced after her.'Don't let her escape!' She almost screamed in rage,as she pursued her prey.

Sarah nearly made it,but luck was against her.As she neared the doors,that led out of the cargo hold,Sarah felt herself seized.A strong arm wrapped itself,around her waist,and a hand clamped something tight,over her mouth.

'Got you,my pretty!' A man's voice sniggered,into her ear.

'HMMMMMMMFFFFFF!'Her cry for help,was considerably muted,as the hand gagging her,pressed tighter.

Sarah's eyes bulged in horror,as she realised she was being chloroformed.She struggled like mad,but her unseen captor held her firm.Again,she heard chuckling,only this time,it was from a man.Her struggles got weaker,until finally,the chloroform subdued her.

Liu was pleased.He gently put Sarah's unconcious form down,just as Kim Yang,and Yee appeared.

'That was close.' Yee admitted.'She nearly got away.'

'No,my friend.' Liu was utterly confident.'She wouldn't have.She's tied up.The girl wouldn't have been able to do anything.'

He then watched satisfied,as Yee,and Kim Yang,continued to tie more loops of rope,over Sarah.Just like all the other captive girls,both of them made sure,that every loop was tied as tight as possible.Within five minutes,Sarah was trussed up securely,loops over,and under her chest,her waist,knees,thighs,and her ankles.

The three of them gazed down,in utter lust at Sarah's helpless,bound form,especially Kim Yang.The woman stroked a hand,down one of Sarah's tied legs.

'She's a beauty.I want her,Captain.'There was nothing,but cold determination,in Kim Yang's voice.She couldn't wait,to ravish this pretty prize.'I want her,for my own personal collection.'

Both Liu and Yee knew about Kim Yang's personal collection of young,and gorgeous women,that she'd kidnapped.They enjoyed their visits there,as the ruthless Chinese woman,made sure her slaves followed orders,or else.

'Of course,Miss Yang.'Liu agreed.'You can have her,as long as I can have a piece of her.'

'She's to be unharmed,Captain.'Kim Yang warned.'For the moment,at least.We'll keep her,as a pretty hostage first.We have to deal with her brother first.'

'There isn't just that.' Yee reminded.'Our guests will be arriving shortly,not long after we leave Hong Kong.'

'Yes.'Liu nodded.'I hadn't forgotten.'

In fact,Liu was eagerly looking forward to it.A deal had been struck,with many high ranking criminal bosses,coming here,to inspect his freshly acquired cargo,with hopes of selling the girls to them.

For now though,he was content to watch,as Kim Yang gagged Sarah,with another large strip,of black tape,then Yee carried the still unconcious girl,over to the empty cage,he'd just opened.

He gently put Sarah in,lying her on her side,then Kim Yang put her hand out to him,and he complied,giving her the key,to lock up the cage.

'You two can go now.' She smiled,still drooling with utter lust at Sarah's tightly bound,and gagged body.'I'm going to enjoy myself,with this beauty.'

Both men smiled too,as they watched Kim Yang start fondling Sarah's breasts again.They could see Kim Yang's face,almost snarl in sexual pleasure,as she continued to enjoy Sarah's helpless form.The girl was now slowly starting to recover,but both men laughed,as they knew they'd get a turn next.
