CHAPTER 11 - Julia and
Serena - Part 2: The Contest
The
move back to Daresbury began the day after Serena's enslavement and
whipping. Jill and Irene left first and
were followed the next day by the others, apart from Cordelia, who remained
behind to look after the farmhouse and to supply any necessary support that
Elspeth and Jim required.
The
reason for the two stage departure was the need to move Serena as secretly as
possible. For this they used one of the
prototypes of the SLAVTRAN 100. This was
essentially a small van which could transport two people in luxury and one
slave in a purpose designed cage. In
this case the dubious honour of being the first to try the cage belonged to
Serena.
Outwardly
the SLAVTRAN appeared to be just another small white van and so would appear
inconspicuous during the journey northwards.
Serena
was locked in a variant of her metal restraints. In this case it was a steel chastity belt
fitted with an internal dildo which could deliver shocks if she failed to
behave. Steel thigh cuffs and ankle
cuffs completed her outfit and she was locked into a collar to which the
vertical heavy steel bar was attached.
This ran down between her breasts to her ankle cuffs and was locked to
them via very short metal bars. These
prevented any walking at all. Her thigh
cuffs were also joined by a chain. The
height of the bar was adjusted to force her into a sitting position.
At
waist height there were two integral cuffs for her hands that held them rigid
to the bar. Her breasts were clamped to
a horizontal bar three inches below their height causing her to have to bend
forward. The 'U' shaped clamps were
bolted down keeping her breasts compressed at a significant level of discomfort
but not enough to cause any permanent damage.
She was gagged with a large red ball gag. She was then placed into a steel cage which
could be lifted using a fork lift truck and taken out to the SLAVTRAN. It fitted into two guide rails and was
automatically moved to a central position where it was clamped down
pneumatically for the duration of the journey.
The cage was situated over a waste tank, so that there would be no need
to remove the slave from the transport during the journey. The tank was automatically closed when the
cage was removed and could itself be removed for disposal of the contents. The slave compartment was isolated from the
main compartment, so no smells could escape.
The slave's condition was monitored by video, audio and movement
sensors, during the journey.
Irene
and Jill took turns to drive the van and to check on their cargo's
condition. The makers were looking for
some additional finance and David had agreed to put in some money, if the
transport proved to be a good investment.
There were plans for larger models to transport more slaves, if the base
model proved successful.
That
evening Jill phoned through from Daresbury to say that they had arrived safely
and that the cargo had been safely stored.
They would spend the night in Daresbury to ensure maximum safety.
The
following day, three cars set off from Cornwall. They contained David, Andrea, Alice, Gwen and
Saloni, who were heading for Cheshire. A
fourth car carried Rick and Mina and headed for Manchester. The cars left at one hour intervals to
ensure that they never appeared to be in any way connected.
When
David entered the office the following day his mind was on some pressing
problems. Serena was the least urgent,
as he had already checked on her condition before walking over to his
office. The first and most pressing was
a business problem - stock control in Dominus. The other two problems were directly
related to the success of Dominus.
His
latest figures showed Dominus had sold almost 50% more stock than expected. They had now nearly exhausted their safety
stocks and David had diverted some US production away from the US domestic
market and into the UK.
That
led to his second problem. He was now looking round for space for a third,
possibly temporary factory, as the two existing ones were working flat
out.
Oddly
Leather Essentials was the only part of Dominus that did not have stock issues,
yet their sales had been 60% up on target. That might lead to the answer to his
third problem. He desperately needed a
full time male Managing Director for Dominus.
He
picked up the phone and rang Jim Gordon for an explanation. Jim couldn't give much in the way of details
but what he did say came as something of a major surprise.
'Our
Stock control was set up by Julia quite a few years ago. She's left now but she did provide some
training and so we've been able to keep it going.'
'Julia?'
queried David
'Yes,
the best employee I've ever had. She
worked for us for four years on and off, as a student and then full time. She was our calendar and catalogue model.'
David
was now hooked; he still had his Leather Essentials Catalogue and Calendar from
its early days. 'Julia...do you know her surname and have you got any contact
details for her?'
'Yes
and no, she was Italian. Julia Andretti, or something like that. She went back to Italy and never contacted us
again. Hang on; I think I can get her
file.' There was a short break and then
Gordon came back on the line. 'Andrezzi,
that was her name. Julia Andrezzi. If you find her then employ her, she has a
great business brain and loves BDSM - she would be your ideal Marketing
Manager.'
