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.'
