The long school bus pulled into the garage and cut its engine. Written across the side in bold, brightly letters were the words: “North University Lady Wildcats Cheerleaders” next to the image of a snarling bobcat. With the hiss of pneumatics, the front doors swung open. “Alright bitches! Up and off the bus!”
A second later, the first girl stumbled down the stairs, her movements made a bit awkward by the leg irons she had locked around her ankles. A short chain joined them to the second set of shackles cuffing her wrists. Despite this get up, she was not dressed in an orange jumpsuit but a bright cheerleader’s outfit, its colors matching the lettering on the bus.
She was followed by more young women, dressed the same as her and shackled just the same. All of them bore similar expressions: horror mixed with shock and disbelief. Mere hours before, they’d been on their way home from another fun football game, only to have their bus hijacked and the entire squad kidnapped. Frightened sobs and whimpers echoed in the garage, muffled by the large ballgags jammed in their mouths as the cheerleaders were met by burly thugs who directed them across the garage towards a set of doors.
Several stories up, two men were watching the arrival of the captive cheerleaders via CCTV cameras. As the last of the girls shuffled out of the garage, one of them raised a remote and switched to another camera, showing the next room where the young women were taken, one at a time and stripped and photographed, before being hustled along.
“Good haul from the North University Team.” The man commented, watching the show. “Almost as good as the girls we got from West Lake High…” He switched through several more channels, showing several cellblocks of cages, each holding several more naked women. “...Granite Tech, Younger College, Brown Community…”
“Don’t forget next week’s snatches of Madison High and Trinity Tech.” The second man added. He chuckled. “After this, I think we can say we’ll have definitely cornered the market on cheerleaders…”
