The Boarding School

St Josephine's boarding school for girls,was located deep in the Cornish countryside.The massive building dated back hundreds of years,although the school itself,was founded just over a hundred years ago.

The school was completely isolated.Only one single track led to a main road,and to the outside world.A forest also surrounded the school,with very few trails.Many girls attending the school,had got lost here,although all were recovered safely.

Even so,that didn't put of many eager girls,who applied to enrol here.St Josephine's had an excellent reputation,for releasing girls who went on to highly successful careers.It was always a great honour,to be chosen,but to do that,every hopeful female had to pass a strict interview test,with the school's headmistress,Miss Hunter.

Miss Hunter was a middle aged woman,but she had a first class brain,and missed nothing.She had a bad reputation amongst the girls she'd rejected,but she did this for a very good reason.She wanted to know everything about any girl,who was applying to enrol here.Her intimidating manner during the interview,upset many girls,but she was pleased to see many more stand up to her.That was something she relished.If she liked and accepted a candidate,who passed her strict criteria,she would offer them a place in her school.However,once the girl was taken in,Miss Hunter watched her new pupils,like a hawk.

At the moment,Miss Hunter was sitting in her well spaced,and well equipped office.She sat behind a large,mahogany desk,which was kept tidy.Miss Hunter was extremely organised,and made sure her pupils followed suit.She was also watching one of them.The school had a highly efficient security camera system.CCTV was located all over the place,and there were also hidden cameras,in every girl's personal room.

Miss Hunter was observing a very pretty girl,who appeared to be reading a book on her bed.However,the headmistress had a keen eye for detail,and could see that this girl,was clearly nervous.The headmistress knew this girl,and she was enjoying watching her unsuspecting prey.The girl was still wearing her compulsory school uniform,a white,double breasted pocket shirt,with a plaited skirt,falling just above the knees.Miss Hunter allowed her pupils to choose any nylon leg wear they so desired,but she made certain they all wore smartly polished,black high heels.Not only did this make every girl smart,but it also made them,highly desirable to Miss Hunter.She had indeed,enjoyed many of the girls company,who she'd selected to be with her,but not one of the girls had.

This was one of the reasons Miss Hunter was observing this particular girl.She had read about her.In all her interviews,Miss Hunter made sure she knew everything about the girls who came here.This was done for her,by some very sinister people,in her employ.They always proved most efficient,and there was nothing Miss Hunter didn't know about her targets,once the information was given to her.

She had the file of the girl she was looking at right now.Miss Hunter had already read the file,and knew her subject's name.The name 'Jennifer Sanders' was written on the front,and Miss Hunter had enjoyed reading it.It confirmed,that the Sanders girl,was no promising pupil,but an undercover spy.Of course,it had made Miss Hunter a tad irritated,that her activities were being monitored.Yet,she was still supremely confident,that nobody would ever find out,what she was really doing here.

As she continued to watch Jennifer,there were two men standing close by to her.These were loyal employees for her.She called them Mr Smith,and Mr Brown.They were both silent,but hard men.Their eyes showed a mean streak,and Miss Hunter was glad to have them on her side.These two had done everything she'd asked of them,and it had been quite a lot.One of their tasks,was to obtain intelligence on all the girls coming here,and they'd done an excellent job of doing so.

In this case too,they'd been ordered to get the personal details of the girl,but this had been handed over willingly to them.Miss Hunter had an excellent ally,who always warned her,of any threats to her schemes here.She would send a personal message of thanks later,but right now,the girl had to be dealt with.

Miss Hunter remembered her.Jennifer had been bright,keen,and she had indeed,impressed.Not only that,but Jennifer was highly attractive.She had shoulder length brunette hair,warm brown eyes too,and Miss Hunter knew she had a very good catch.

She chuckled at that thought,and decided to bring her in.She picked up the phone on her desk,and dialled the girl's internal number in her room.She was amused to see her prey jump slightly,as the phone rang,but she answered the call.

'Hello?'Jennifer's voice sounded nervous.Excellent.Miss Hunter was pleased at that.

'Good evening,Miss Sanders.'She made sure her own voice didn't sound intimidating.A lot of her pupils cringed back from her,knowing she frightened many of them.

'Would you mind coming to my office please,Miss Sanders?'Miss Hunter then asked her.

'Er,well.'Jennifer's reply was slightly hesitant.'I was going to do some important studying,ma'am.'

I'm quite sure you were,my pretty.Miss Hunter knew precisely what sort of studying the girl would get up to.

'Highly commendable,my dear.'Miss Hunter responded,pleased to hear that too.However,she was adamant the girl would obey her wishes.'I won't keep you long.There are just one or two things I need to clear up with you.'

'Concerning what,ma'am?'Jennifer wasn't stupid.Even better.Miss Hunter loved intelligent women.

'You'll find out when you come here.'She then added the right amount of impatience in her tone,adding emphasis.'Don't keep me waiting,Miss Sanders.'

'Very well,ma'am.'Jennifer answered.There was more concern in her own voice,and perhaps a little more fear creeping in,but then Miss Hunter ended the call.She and her two male accomplices then watched Jennifer produce a mobile.She dialled a number,but this only made the three of them smirk.

'Call who you like,my dear.'Miss Hunter was amused,although she actually sneered it out.'It's not going to do you any good.'

It did indeed look that way.They watched Jennifer's face slowly become more frustrated,as she wasn't getting any luck with her calls.

'The jamming signals are working perfectly,Miss Hunter.'The man known as Mr Smith stepped forward.Miss Hunter knew she'd done very well,finding this man's expertise.He was highly skilled in electronic communications,and he certainly could prevent anybody trying to get a message out.

'Excellent work,Mr Smith.'She complimented him,also knowing he'd planted jamming devices,and surveillance equipment too,all over the school.Every one of the girls personal quarters was bugged,and it was impossible for anyone,to hold a private conversation within the school.In effect,Mr Smith had closed off contact,with the outside world.None of the girls would be able to send any messages,unless it was of Miss Hunter's choosing.

'Make sure she comes here,Mr Smith.'The headmistress ordered briskly.'Follow her,but be discreet.If she does decide to make a run for it,don't let her escape.I want her.'

'I'll see to it,ma'am.'Mr Smith nodded.His own voice totally confident.'Don't worry.She won't get away.'

He then left with the still silent Mr Brown,leaving Miss Hunter watching Jennifer,who was still trying to make a call on her mobile.

What the hell's wrong with this mobile? Jennifer Sanders thought to herself.She was half worried,and half puzzled.She sensed she may be in trouble.That creepy headmistress' voice,had definitely told her that.From all her discussions with the other girls she'd met here,they confirmed to her,that this Miss Hunter was bad news.Jennifer would never forget her own interview with the woman.She could see that she was being eyed up by her.It was one of the reasons she was here,to investigate Miss Hunter,and what her activities were.Meeting the woman earlier,and seeing her reaction to her,didn't surprise Jennifer in the slightest.She was up to something.No doubt about it.

The main reason she was here,was to investigate several girls,or more precisely,their disappearance.In fact,quite a few had gone missing,and despite Jennifer's determination to find them,she hadn't found a single lead.Jennifer had planned to do some late night snooping,but Miss Hunter's telephone call,abruptly put those plans on hold.She still had the bad feeling inside,and wanted to get in touch with her people for back up.However,her calls were still not getting through.The display screen on her mobile simply showed 'No Signal.'

Finally,Jennifer conceded the mobile was useless.Maybe she was in a bad reception area,but at the back of her mind,Jennifer suspected they were onto her,and perhaps her attempts had a more sinister explanation.More than likely,they were preventing her,from making a call out.

Aware that the clock was ticking against her,Jennifer decided to write down what she'd learned so far.All of the missing girls had been last seen,going into Miss Hunter's office,so the headmistress was definitely involved.Jennifer was utterly convinced of that.However,she still hadn't any evidence of this,so she wrote down her recent activities on the notepad.There was always the chance she could be taken,and the bad guys would literally clean out her room,of any incriminating evidence against them.

Jennifer wrote down her suspicions about Miss Hunter,and anything else she could think of.She then took the notepad out with her,leaving her room.As she made her way towards Miss Hunter's office,Jennifer realised she hadn't changed out of her school uniform.

No time for that now.She thought with a resigned sigh.Hopefully,this would be nothing more,than a cursory chat,and Miss Hunter wouldn't keep her long.

Jennifer's footsteps echoed,as she walked along the school's smartly polished floor.She was suddenly aware,that there was nobody else about.Although,it didn't really bother her,as she knew she needed the privacy,to hide her notepad,but then again,it might have been better,if she had been seen by someone.

She then reached the pleasant school grounds.These were always well maintained,by the school's gardening staff.It was enjoyed a lot by the girls,making them feel relaxed,when they walked through it.Unfortunately,Jennifer didn't feel relaxed doing so,as she urgently scanned for a suitable hiding place.Jennifer then noticed the bicycle shed.There were many of them there,and all were locked upright,by the two holding bricks,which held both tyres in place.Jennifer checked again,to see if she was still alone.Nobody was in sight,and she knelt down,to place the notepad under one of the holding bricks.

Satisfied at that,Jennifer rose,and then hurried on her way towards Miss Hunter.As she disappeared,she had failed to spot the two sinister figures,of Mr Smith and Mr Brown.Both men waited until the girl had gone,before they headed towards the bicycle shed.

Jennifer had reached Miss Hunter's office.She knocked politely on the door,and instantly heard the headmistress' voice.

'Come in.'Her voice was sharp.

Tensing herself,Jennifer entered the office.The first thing she saw,was of course Miss Hunter sitting behind her large desk.There was nobody else here,which Jennifer was slightly relieved.However,as she walked towards her,Jennifer could see Miss Hunter eyeing her up.There was almost a smirk visible too,as if she was planning something,with ominous intent.For the moment,Jennifer ignored her nerves,as she stopped behind the woman's desk.

'You wanted to see me,ma'am?'Jennifer asked.

'Indeed I did,my dear.'Miss Hunter's voice made Jennifer's skin crawl.'Please sit down.'

Jennifer did,and then watched Miss Hunter produce two small,but crystal clear glasses,and a de-canter of brandy.She placed them all on her desk.

'A drink?' Miss Hunter offered,already pouring two servings,into the glasses.

'No thank you,ma'am.'Jennifer refused politely.She wasn't really a drinker,but she noticed Miss Hunter's eyes showing disapproval.

'Don't be silly,my dear.'Miss Hunter's voice made it adamant,that she wasn't going to take no for an answer.'I've been watching your progress here,Miss Sanders.You're an excellent addition for me.I know you have great potential.'She smiled at Jennifer,but the girl saw a smirk instead.

For me,that is.Miss Hunter kept on her smirk,relishing Jennifer's very appealing body.However,she kept up the pretence,and raised her glass to the girl,and sipped the brandy.Jennifer senses it would be a bad idea to refuse the drink,so she reluctantly drank the brandy too,but she only sipped a little as well.Almost immediately,she saw Miss Hunter's displeased expression.

'Come,come,Miss Sanders.'The woman was watching her like a hawk.Jennifer noticed that,as she went on.'It's an excellent vintage.1757,If I'm not mistaken.Have another drink.Savour it.I don't offer my drinks to everybody,only those that please me.'

Jennifer didn't really want to drink anymore,but she had a bad feeling it would be unwise to disobey her.Jennifer had read about Miss Hunter in her mission brief.She never forgot the short,but chilling description of her.It had said,cunning,ruthless,and deadly.As Jennifer drank more of the brandy,she didn't think it possible,looking at Miss Hunter,who merely looked like a harmless,middle aged woman.But Jennifer knew,appearances could be deceiving.

The brandy had tasted excellent,but Jennifer wasn't going to drink anymore.She put down the glass firmly back on the desk,but Miss Hunter didn't push her to drink more,much to her relief.In fact,the woman seemed pleased.

'I won't keep you long,Miss Sanders.'Her voice was now business like,and authoritative.'I've a busy night ahead of me,so will want to get this done quickly.I hope you understand?'

Yeah,I bet you do.Jennifer thought angrily,but replied respectfully;

'Yes,ma'am.' Jennifer too,wanted this to be brief.She just wanted to get back to her mission,finding the missing girls.The sooner she was out of here,the better.

Miss Hunter then took out a file from one of her desk draws,and placed it on the top.Jennifer glanced curiously at the file,but Miss Hunter wouldn't let her see it.Jennifer was then taken aback,by what Miss Hunter asked her next.

'How old are you,my dear?'

Jennifer couldn't help,but look totally surprised hearing that.

Why she's asking me that? Jennifer thought with concern.She was now a little alarmed.All sorts of questions and worries raced through her head.Did the woman suspect something?

Still,Jennifer forced herself to remain calm,and answered respectfully.

'I'm 19,ma'am.'Although her reply was a deception,Jennifer gave the woman,a puzzled glance,hoping to give the impression that was a baffling question to ask.Yet,Miss Hunter wasn't fooled.

'You're 19,Miss Sanders?'The faint smile now visible,made Jennifer squirm uncomfortably in her seat.'Well,that only matters to a certain point.'

'What do you mean?'Jennifer asked,keeping a wary eye on her.

'What I mean,Miss Mitchell,'Miss Hunter went on confidently,still reading the file.'is that I don't think you should be here.'

'I really don't know what you're talking about.'Jennifer feigned ignorance,although the alarm bells were increasing inside her.

'Well,let me put it this way,my dear.'Miss Hunter decided to see how the girl would react to this.She was looking forward to it.'Suppose I tell you I know the reason you're here.Something to do with those missing girls perhaps?'

She was pleased to see,that she scored a big hit.Jennifer gazed more sharply at her,but now,there was confusion evident in her eyes.Miss Hunter calmly waited for the girl's response.

Jennifer's mind was now in turmoil.This was a bombshell.What should she do?Had her cover been blown? Was the woman making a genuine attempt to help her? The questions continued to assault her mind,whilst Miss Hunter still sat waiting.Seeing the girl was still thinking it over,she decided to drop another bombshell on her.

'You're an active agent of MI5,Miss Sanders.'She was again pleased,to see the girl's stunned reaction.'You've been sent here undercover,to locate several missing pupils of mine,believed kidnapped.'Miss Hunter raised an expectant eyebrow.'Am I right?'

Jennifer's mind was still reeling from this sudden revelation.She was still trying to figure out her reply,when Miss Hunter's voice snapped impatiently at her.

'I'm still waiting for your answer,Miss Sanders!'There was a hint of anger evident now.'Are you going to be silent all night?'

Jennifer had just made up her mind to deny everything,when something about the file Miss Hunter was holding,struck her.It was her own personal file from work!How she'd obtained it,was a mystery,but she shouldn't be holding it.Yet she clearly saw Miss Hunter's face still smiling at her.It even increased.

'That's my file!'Jennifer stated,stunned at recognising it.'What are you doing with that? How did you-?'

'I will ask the questions,Miss Sanders,if you please.'There was now a more sinister,and more authoritative tone,in Miss Hunter's voice.Perhaps even a bit more threatening,although she went on.'You are correct though,my dear.It is your personal file,from your employers,MI5.'

Miss Hunter was idly flicking through the pages of it.'It was interesting to find out about you.Your employers expected a lot from you.I'm more than sure you would have made an excellent asset,but now,'The woman sharply closed the file,with a more sinister,and menacing smile.'I have other plans for you.'

Jennifer suddenly realised she needed to get out of here.She tried to rise up out of the chair,but strangely,her body wouldn't obey.She stayed in the seat.Then,she noticed Miss Hunter glance at her watch,and th woman nodded to herself,seemingly pleased.Jennifer could see,that she was being leered at,although she heard Miss Hunter speak,it sounded like a slowed down record.

'Something wrong,my dear?'Miss Hunter asked,although knowing full well,why Jennifer was acting like this.The drug she'd put into the girl's brandy,had taken the right amount of time,to overwhelm her.Jennifer would be paralysed,only temporary,but it would give Miss Hunter,all the time she needed to savour her latest catch.

Jennifer slowly felt all of her body freezing up.She couldn't move her hands,arms,feet,or even her legs.Within moments,she couldn't even turn her head.All she could do,was move her eyes,and they were staring in fear at the woman sitting opposite her.She noticed Miss Hunter raise her brandy glass to her,and Jennifer realised,that the woman had drugged her!The shock in her,was only reflected in her eyes,as they raced from side to side,watching Miss Hunter rise up from her own seat,and she walked over to Jennifer's helpless form.Bending down,the woman took a hold of Jennifer's chin,giving her an unpleasant smile,down at her captive.

'Just relax,my dear.'Jennifer heard.'It's pointless fighting it.I assure you,there's no way you can beat it.'

Jennifer could only give out a faint whimper of despair,knowing she was now a prisoner.

'I always thought you were very pretty,my dear.'Miss Hunter told her drugged captive.'I'm sure you will have realised by now,that you were exceptionally stupid,to come here alone.'

Despite the woman's warning about the drug inside her,Jennifer was still desperately trying to fight it,but she still couldn't move.Her chin was still held,when she noticed Miss Hunter glance up,hearing a man's voice asking permission to enter the office.Miss Hunter granted it,and Jennifer could see a lot more pleasure in her face.She then saw two sinister looking men,enter her line of vision.Her eyes widened in horror,as she then saw one of them holding her notepad!Her despair increased.

Mr Smith handed over the notepad to Miss Hunter,who gladly accepted,releasing Jennifer's chin,and then started to read,what the girl had written down.Her face darkened slightly,as she did so.The girl was very clever,noting down her movements,and she had come quite close,to solving where the missing girls were.She finally finished reading the notepad,and seized Jennifer's chin again,only much more harder this time.

'You really are smart,as well as very pretty,aren't you?'There was a lot more menace in her tone now.'Well,we can't have you handing in your damning report,on my establishment now,can we?'

She then glanced back at Mr Smith and Mr Brown,ordering them.'Get some rope,and tie her up.'

Both men nodded,and they quickly produced several coils of strong,white clothesline,before they turned their attention,back to their prisoner.They both easily lifted Jennifer out of the chair,and placed her face down on the floor.Mr Brown instantly pulled Jennifer's wrists behind her back.After crossing them,he then expertly wound several lengths of the clothesline over the girl's wrists,whilst Mr Smith had seized her ankles together,and wrapped four horizontal loops of rope over them.

Enjoying the scene in front of her,Miss Hunter was smirking down at her latest acquisition,who was now tightly bound hand and foot.She was drooling at the sight of the girl tied up,in her school uniform.There was still plenty of clothesline,and she ordered all of it to be used.Both men were more than eager to oblige.Mr Smith then wrapped more horizontal loops,over Jennifer's knees and thighs,whilst Mr Brown pulled the girl up into a sitting position.He then wound plenty of loops over,and under Jennifer's chest.Both men pulled hard on the ropes,making sure they were tied tight,and once they'd done so,stood back to allow Miss Hunter to check their work.Miss Hunter did so,turning the girl over,checking over Jennifer's bonds.She needn't have worried.The girl was safely secure,in her clutches.

She then noticed Jennifer's eyes becoming more clearer,and parts of her body were slowly coming back to life.Evidently,the drug was wearing off,but she wasn't concerned.Tied up,the girl wasn't going anywhere.The drug had done its job well,keeping Jennifer helpless,and she calmly waited for the drug to wear off completely.Miss Hunter held Jennifer's notepad in front of her,ready to gloat.

At last,Jennifer found her body slowly coming back to life,although she gazed down in dismay,at the many tight ropes she found herself tied up in.Her alarmed expression was still fully evident,as she glanced up at Miss Hunter,now standing over her.Jennifer was now more frightened than ever.

'I must congratulate you though,my dear.'Miss Hunter smiled down at her helpless form.'You did indeed,nearly succeed finding the missing girls,but you see,I already know where they are.So as a reward for your efforts,I will take you to them.'

'Where are they?'Jennifer felt so glad to have her voice back.'What have you done with them?'

'They're perfectly safe,Miss Sanders.I assure you.'Miss Hunter enjoyed saying that.'They're just like you at the moment.Very pretty,and tied up.As for what I intend to do with them,'her smile was now more unpleasant,'you will find out soon enough.'

The unpleasant smile remained,as Miss Hunter continued.'Suffice it to say,you're all going on a shipping trip,but it won't be a luxury cruise for you.I have excellent business contacts worldwide,who will be very interested,in seeing my latest pretty stock.'

'Wh-what do you mean?'Jennifer stammered.Her fear was rapidly overwhelming her.She was then forced to hear Miss Hunter explain.

'What I mean,my dear,is that you and all the other pretty girls I've abducted from this school,will soon be put up for sale.'Miss Hunter chuckled.She knelt down,and gripped Jennifer's chin once more.

'I've no doubt at all,that every one of you,will fetch a superb price.It will be interesting to see how the bidding goes.Whoever buys you,will have to pay top money.I shall make sure of that,but at least,you'll be worth every penny.'

Jennifer's eyes widened considerably hearing this.She honestly thought she could complete this mission,but now,she was kidnapped.Horrible thoughts were dominating her head.Never did Jennifer think,that she'd be carted off,to be sold into slavery.It was a nightmare scenario,she never imagined herself finding in.

Despite her own terror raging inside,Jennifer found some defiance.

'You really think you'll get away with this?'Jennifer snapped back at the still smirking Miss Hunter.'My people know where I am.If I go missing for any length of time,they'll send-'

'Ah yes.'Miss Hunter interrupted,almost smugly.'Well,I'm afraid I have some bad news for you,my dear.Your mission briefing was given to you by your superior,a Miss Thompson,I believe?'She then gripped Jennifer's chin more painfully.'Miss Thompson was the one,who informed me of your coming.I'm afraid you walked right into my clutches.'

Stunned,Jennifer couldn't respond to that.She remembered Miss Thompson alright.The woman was her boss,in her section.Jennifer hadn't liked her.She was a lot like Miss Hunter,very arrogant attitude.Damn her!She'd been sold out!If this was true,her disappearance could be easily covered up,and her family would have no idea on her whereabouts.She realised also,that during the interview with Miss Thompson,the woman was measuring her up.It must have been so easy.She had indeed,walked straight into a trap,thanks to Miss Thompson's treachary.Jennifer had also knew of many other young,and also very pretty female agents vanishing without trace.How many had disappeared,she had no idea,but her own plight,was now making her tremble.How on earth,was she going to get out of this.

Suddenly,the man known as Mr Smith bent down to her,and grasping both her shoulders,easily lifted her up to her feet.Jennifer swayed for a moment,but Mr Smith wrapped his arm around her waist,holding her tight.Then,Jennifer noticed Miss Hunter holding a long strip of white cloth.She started to ball it up,making Jennifer inwardly gulp.She knew what was coming next.

'Let's have that pretty mouth open,my dear.'Miss Hunter stepped forward to her,ready to put the cloth into the girl's mouth.However,Jennifer suddenly decided to take a gamble.

'Somebody help me!'She managed to scream out.'Please! Sommmffff!'

With a nasty smile,Miss Hunter roughly forced the balled up cloth,into Jennifer's mouth.She was careful not to let the girl choke,but her prisoner's screams died instantly.There was still plenty of spare length from the cloth,and she used that to force over Jennifer's mouth,before she pulled the two ends behind the girl's head.Miss Hunter tied the gag tightly,relishing Jennifer's fearful mumble,as she secured the final knot.She was pleased to hear the girl's faint,gagged mumbles.

'You really are very pretty,my dear.'Miss Hunter ran a finger down Jennifer's cheek.'I always knew you'd be a worthy catch.You're mine now.'

She smiled again,seeing the terror stricken eyes from her prize.Then,Miss Hunter turned to Mr Smith,and Mr Brown,waiting patiently.

'Put her in the van,and take her down to the warehouse,where our other pretty merchandise is.I'll follow you shortly,whilst I take care of this pretty lady's room.Make sure you're not seen.'

Both men nodded their complete obedience,and then,Mr Smith turned Jennifer around to face him.He ignored her wide,frightened eyes,as he lifted her onto his shoulder.Then,he and Mr Brown made to leave.As Jennifer was carried out,she heard Miss Hunter's voice call after her.

'I shall see you soon,my pretty.I can't wait to have a dose of you myself,before I send you on,wherever that may be.'

Jennifer's attempted screams were heard by nobody,as she was taken out of the woman's office.Mr Brown made sure he kept a sharp eye out,but there was no need to worry.Nobody was about,and they were gone within moments.

Very pleased with herself,Miss Hunter watched them depart.The girl would fetch an excellent price indeed,allowing her luxuries to continue.

Just then,she received a telephone call.On answering,she was pleased to hear the voice of her benefactor,Miss Thompson.

'Everything went okay?'Miss Thompson asked her.

'Nothing to worry about at all.'Miss Hunter answered confidently.'The girl is ours.'

'Excellent!'Miss Thompson was pleased.'I knew you'd like her.I can't wait to ravish her myself.I'm hoping to make the next auction.Perhaps I might see,who buys her.I could do with a couple of new additions myself.'

'There's always a good choice of girls.'Miss Hunter agreed,mentally making a note,not to miss the auction herself.She really enjoyed them.There was nothing better,than watching a young,beautiful girl,tightly bound and gagged,being offered for sale.She had a good collection herself,and always loved to tie up and gag her slaves.

'Anything new to worry about?'She asked Miss Thompson.

'Hardly.'The woman's chuckle pleased them both.'In fact,you may have another pretty prize coming your way.Miss Sanders younger sister,is coming to see me tomorrow.She's quite keen to make an impression on me.'

'Is she indeed?'Miss Hunter leaned back into her chair,delighted to hear such good news.'By all means,send her down.We're always on the look out,for fresh merchandise,aren't we?'

They both chuckled again,and after making the arrangements,wished each other well,before Miss Hunter hung up.Things were never better.She thought,highly content,as she poured herself another excellent brandy,savouring her good fortune.

Jennifer was struggling like mad over the man's shoulder,as she was carried towards the rear of the boarding school.Her eyes were frantically searching for anybody,that would spot her abduction,but there was nobody to be seen.The school grounds were deserted,and her gag was highly effective,keeping her cries to barely inaudible mumbles.

'Put her in the back.'She heard the man known as Mr Brown speak.'I'll drive.'

With a mumble of despair,Jennifer could now see,that her captors had reached the rear of the school.A single white,but large transit van awaited them.Mr Smith opened the two rear doors,and easily carried Jennifer inside.She lay helpless,as her captor then gripped her chin.

'Don't get any smart ideas,young lady.'Mr Smith warned her.His tone wasn't threatning,or nasty,but his message was clear.'If you do,you'll regret it.'Tightening his grip on her chin,he continued.'You wouldn't want us to hurt any of those other girls now,would you?'

Jennifer mumbled fearfully into her gag,unable to respond,but the man seemed satisfied,to let his threat hang over her.He then eased his hold on her,but still held her.

'Now,just relax and stay there.Be a good girl,and sensible,for all the other girls sakes,won't you?'

Mr Smith then released his hold on Jennifer's chin,and exited out the back,slamming the doors shut.He then quickly joined Mr Brown up front,as the van's engine was started.Then,they drove off into the night.

Tightly bound and gagged in the back,Jennifer closed her eyes in utter fear,dreading what the future had in store for her.

To be continued?
