„Mmmhhmmph! Uuuhhhmmmm! Mph! Hrrmmm!“
Madeleine had never before felt so helpless in her life. It was not only the fact that her captors had left her bound and gagged, since she knew that sometimes this was part of the business. Even the fact that she was stripped to her underwear wasn`t that worse. But the fact that she had sitting the equally scantily clad Chloe sitting on her knees made things quite unbearable. The raven haired agend had not stopped wriggling and squirming since their captors had left and in addition, she had kept on screaming through the mass of cotton wool stuffing her mouth. Chloe had tried to rub away the tape sealing her lips at Madeleine`s face and chest – a humiliating experience! Then, she had bent her bound arms in desperate attempts to reach the knots tying her ankles. She nearly had toppled over and the nooses around both their necks had become a terrible threat. Now, she had calmed down a bit, but when she looked down at Chloe, Madeleine could see that they both now were covered with sweat, adding to her discomfort.
Now, with Chloe`s head leaning to her chest, Madeleine tried to concentrate on her own bonds. If she bent her fingers, she could perhaps reach the ends of the knots of her wrist ties. Then, she could perhaps get loose. Her fingers felt numb and the knots were very tightly applied, but the blonde French persisted.

To Luise`s great surprise, Sally had indeed been able to open their cuffs and now, she was working on the lock of the iron door. It felt great to no longer be hogtied! However, if they got free, the young student nurse would sure want to inform the police or at least the director and that was not what Luise wanted to happen.
So, whilst Sally was occupied with working on the old, but solid lock, Luise prepared for an attack her teacher in weaponless fighting had tought her once. It was an effective way of knocking someone out, but one had to be quick.
„Yeah!“
The door sprang open and at the same moment, Luise hit both the girl`s carotid arteries with the edges of her hands. With a sigh of surprise, Sally collapsed. Quickly, Luise looked if someone was around, then, she put the straight jacket on Sally, buckling the straps tight. She felt sorry for doing so, but she needed the girl out of her way.
Luise stuffed the rag that had gagged Sally before back into her mouth and took the roll of tape from the table. With that, she taped the girl`s mouth shut. Then, she took more of the tape and tied her legs at knees and ankles. Sally`s nightgown had slipped upwards and now, her naked crotch, covered only by the tight strap of the straight jacket, was visible. Luise thought of covering her somehow, but she had to act professionally. So, she took a pair of the cuffs and tied Sally`s feet exactly as they had been before. It should look as if she had escaped on her own accord, but left Sally behind. Then, she closed the iron door and put the cupboard back in place. Then, after a last look around, she sneaked upwards.
The school wasn`t a prison and so, there were no guards. Unbeknownst to Luise, her captors had gone to bed, too, except for Helen who kept an eye on the door of the three remaining student nurses. So, the German reached the main door undetected and she even could pick a coat from a rack. It was too long and wide, but it protected her from the cold air.
Her plan was to get away and to inform the headquarter about what had happened. However, after some 500 yards, she saw two approaching females carrying big suitcases. Hastily, Luise hid behind a tree, but then, she could hear the voices and recognized them.
„Dorothea! Anna! I can`t believe it!“
Dorothea could not help shrieking with surprise. She had been occupied with her thoughts about the two captured French spies. She had expected to feel fear, or maybe pity. However, there was something else. What she had felt when gagging the blonde had been power. It had been her who dominated that woman sitting there, tied hand and foot and clad only in her underwear. She had reduced her pleas to moans and grunts and somehow, even Anna`s last sentence towards their two captives had been intriguing. Indeed, these two would not even be able to pee unless they would free them and allow them to do so! It was an overwhelming thought, but now, the appearance of her former rival had interrupted her.
Quickly, the three women informed each other about what had happened. And so, to Dorothea`s relief, Anna decided that they would have to separate. Luise should take one of their guns and take care of the two French whilst Anna and Dorothea would continue with their original plan and enter the school, pretending that they were the announced student nurses.
„So, there is that redhead and another woman with shoulder lenght blonde hair who are definitely British agents! And maybe, there are one or two more. The girl I left behind, Sally, has got three colleagues. They are innocent, but of course, they now know that something`s going on! So, your work hasn`t become easier!“
„And whose fault is that?“, Dorothea asked pertly. Luise lowered her head. Obviously, she still felt guilty for both cheating on Dorothea and for letting herself get caught by the British. However, Anna intervened:
„Hey, we all make mistakes sometimes. But now, we have work to do! Luise, here`s some money. Get to the next village and try to organize some food for our captives. If nothing`s going wrong, you and one of us will meet there in“, she checked her wrist watch, „20 hours. If we have managed to get the doctor until then, we will call for the air ship to pick us up the next night. But if we haven`t been successful by then, we will see what we can do.“
Luise nodded and disappeared in the fog. Dorothea grabbed her suitcase, but Anna held her back:
„Doro, I could see that you have some problems with Luise, but this will have to stand back until we have accomplished our mission. Our country counts more than your hurt feelings!“
Reluctantly, Dorothea nodded and the two agents continued their way.

The day normally started at six o`clock at the nurse`s school, but it was close to five o`clock when the door of Dr. Daniela Cortese opened a bit and her assistant Alessandra sneaked in. A faint snoring tolt her that Daniela was sleeping soundly as usual. So, Alessandra removed her bathrobe and stepped beside the bed, looking down at the sleeping doctor. Sleeping with her mouth slightly open, Daniela looked a bit silly, but Alessandra had only eyes for her full red lips and the shoulder length black curls framing her pale, beautiful face. Alessandra had long black curls, too, but she preferred to wear it long. As usual, she had to fight down the desire to bent forward and to kiss Daniela`s mouth.
It had been since her youth that Alessandra had discovered she actually preferred women. But since she was a bright girl, she had known that it wouldn`t have been a good idea to reveal that fact in a Catholic country like Italy. So, she had even tried to oppress her feelings by starting an education as a lab assistant. Alessandra thought that working together with men would help her not to think too much about her secret. However, some five years ago Daniela had become a member of the laboratory where she had been working. Since they had been the only women working there, they had befriended quite quickly and soon, Alessandra had become Daniela`s personal assistant. For everyone, including Daniela, this was only the friendship of two co-workers, but Alessandra suffered from not being able to tell Daniela about her true feelings.
At least, since they had left Italy, they had lived quite close together, sometimes, they even had had to share the same hotel room. And so, Alessandra knew that Daniela slept like a dead man and she could spend some time watching and admiring her without being noticed. Sometimes, she had even dared to caress Daniela`s hair or cheek. Alessandra sometimes feared that Daniela knew about her nightly visits and sometimes, when she was alone, she dreamt that she was responding to her feelings. But since today, Alessandra had always left for her own room before the alarm clock at Daniela`s desk rang.
„I wished that there will be a change in our lives, that I can be close together wih you, beloved“, Alessandra whispered before she sneaked back into her own room.

Success! Madeleine had not reached much during the last hours, but now, she had at least loosened her bound wrists from the horizontal bar between the chair`s rear legs. She shifted her position and tried to find out how far this would get her.
„Mmhhmm?“
Chloe tightened the grip of her thighs around Madeleine`s, since the movements of the blonde had made her shake in her position, causing the nooses to pull on both their necks.
„Mmhhmm! Uuuhhmmm!“
Madeleine squirmed in her seat and showed her colleague her newly achieved freedom of movement. Then, she tried to lower her hands to her bound right ankle. The position was straining for both women, since the nooses now pushed against Madeleine`s throat and forced Chloe to sit as upright as possible and to stretch her neck and upper body. They had to pause several times, but finally, Madeleine had freed her right leg. Now, repeating the procedure on the left was a bit easier, since she could raise a bit more from her seat. Now, the difficult part began.
Millimetre by millimetre, Madeleine tried to stand up. Since Chloe was sitting astride, she had to be very careful to not push her backwards, since then they would both have strangled themselves. She concentrated on balancing out their bodies and Chloe tried her best to assist her. It meant that she had to press her head against Madeleine`s breasts and this, together with their naked, sweaty legs rubbing against each other, added to their discomfort.
Finally, Madeleine was standing on shaky legs whilst Chloe managed to sit on the edge of the chair. Madeleine now could try to reach for her colleague`s neck and with some effort, she managed to get the noose over her head. With a sigh of relief, the raven haired girl brethed in and Madeleine now could dare to step from the chair. Now, it was quite easy to get her hands to her front.
„Mmmhhmmmph!“
Chloe was about to topple over, but in the last second, Madeleine could keep her from falling. She helped her friend to find a position that wasn`t comfy or dignified, but at least quite stable by resting her chin on the chair`s backrest. Then, she peeled the tape from Chloe`s mouth. The girl worked the big wad of cotton wool from her mouth and spat out cotton fibres before she licked her lips.
„Mmhmmm! Uuhhmmm!“, Madeleine insisted and brought her still bound wrists close to Chloe`s mouth. After some hesitating, she began to chew on the ropes and soon, Madeleine was free. Selflessly, she freed her friend`s arms before she ungagged herself. In the meantime, Chloe had loosened her ankles and both women hugged.
„Quick, we must go!“, Chloe then said.
„Like that?“, Madeleine answered, looking down on them. Both were only clad in their underwear and whilst Chloe`s slip offered at least a minimum of decency, the blonde`s knickers were fully visible. The Germans had taken all their clothes with them and the hut provided nothing like curtains or blankets either. However, modesty was not their only problem. Being foreign agents, they could not just inform the police without endangering their mission.
„So, what do you suggest? Waiting for our captors to come back and overpower them both?“
„Well, it`s the best option we have. If we break one of the chairs, we even have some sticks. At least, they don`t expect anything like that.“
So, the two French agents prepared for their next move. Tey hid beside the window and tried to watch the path leading to the hut. Since it still was quite foggy, they could only see a few dozen yards, even when the sun was rising. They shivered in the cool air, but since they wanted to be ready for attack, they didn`t dare to cuddle to each other.

„So, you are interested in our shortened education program for women who have some experience in working at a hospital?“, director Dr. Catherine Moore asked Dorothea and Anna who were now sitting in her office, sipping from their tea. Both had entered the school at the early morning and had asked for the director immediately. Since their letters of recommendation introduced them as immigrants from France who had been living in Britain for just a few years, Dorothea did most of the talking. Anna`s French was like her English, fluent, but with a strong accent. And since Catherine was fluent in French, too, and had talked to them in that language, she had feigned to be from Alsase.
However, it was not their spoken languages the director was wondering about. Instead, she looked at the two young women and said:
„You are both quite pretty. And nevertheless, you want to prepare for an ill-paid, strenuous job instead of finding a decent husband?“
Anna slightly blushed and lowered her head, but Dorothea, though her cheeks reddened, too, answered the director`s view and meant:
„I could say the same about you, Dr. Moore. And you have even graduated at university.“
Anna gasped and for a moment, Dorothea feared that she had gone too far. But then, Catherine smiled. Indeed, the director was an attractive woman. Her black curls were arranged in a strict bun and her face was a bit austere, but nevertheless pretty. She seemed to be in her late 30ies, but there were no wrinkles on her pale skin. Her figure was hidden by the costume she was wearing, but now, obviously delighted by the compliment, she involuntarily stretched her body, giving Dorothea an idea of her shape.
„Well, since you are both able to pay the requested money and you have quite good references, you may start your education here. Today, I am afraid that my colleague, Miss Rant, is occupied with the student nurses, but tomorrow, she will see you and check what you two really know. According to your previous experiences and knowledges, you may pass the exams in six or twelve month.“
After some formalities, Catherine called for the housekeeper to get the two women to their room. It was a sleeping room designed for four persons, but since the school wasn`t fully occupied, they had it for their own.
„So, this is how you put a foot in the door? Making compliments to your superiors?“, Anna asked as soon as the housekeeper had left. Dorothea smiled and answered:
„Well, it seems better to me than just blushing like a little schoolgirl when my look is mentioned. Anyway, it seems that you are better in the line of fire, but here, on the dance floor of society, it`s me who acts with more sovereignty.“
Anna mumbled something that could have been everything between consent and some obscene comment.

Luise had had to suffer quite a lot during the last two days and so, she had taken the opportunity and had some tea and breakfast before she bought some food and returned to the hut where she looked around carefully if there was anyone around. Then, she drew her gun and slowly entered the room.
Two seconds later, Madeleine had a leg of the broken chair pressed against her throat from behind and Chloe had taken the gun from her. Luise squirmed and tried to get free, but Madeleine just increased the pressure, nearly choking her.
„Stop fighting or you will die here and now!“, the blonde hissed.
So, Luise stopped her struggling and Madeleine released her a bit, just enough that she could breathe again. Pointing at her with the gun, Chloe asked:
„Who are you?“
„I-I am j-just a woman from the v-village“, Luise began to stammer, but that only caused Madeleine to once again put some painful pressure to her throat and Chloe said:
„We saw you pulling that gun before entering here. So, please don`t expect us to believe that you are just a peasant`s girl. So, I am afraid you have got something to do with the two women who left us here, stripped to our underwear. Perhaps, we should kill you to set an example?“
„Then, you would be dead little after“, Luise croaked, pulling all her courage together to sound calm. She knew that sooner or later Anna or Dorothea would look after her, but if these would be too careless, the two French would get them, too. Besides, it was also an option that the British agents would look for her here. But all these options she would not be able to react to if they really intended to kill her.
„At least, you could help me out, since we are a bit underderessed. My poor colleague will have to wait, but at least, you are more or less my size.“
Luise frowned at Chloe. In fact, the raven haired French measured some 5`1`` whilst she was 5`2``. But it was more the fact of „helping her out“ that embarrassed Luise.
„Y-you mean-“
„Yes, my German friend. Please remove your clothes and hand them over to me!“
Madeleine released Luise and took the gun from her colleague. Luise hesitated, but the two women would have killed her if she tried anything and so, she slowly took off her boots. Whilst she was removing the cloak, Chloe tried the boots and found out that they fit. Now, Luise tugged the blouse from her skirt and handed it to Chloe who put it on. Luise looked pleadingly, but she had to remove her skirt, too. Now, she still was wearing her white camisole and panties, her bra and her gartered stockings. Luise wasn`t actually prudish and her captors were women, too, but she was shivering from the still cool air.
Chloe told her to lie down on the table. Looking puzzled, Luise obeyed. She squirmed as her thinly covered back touched the cold surface. Now, Chloe took two pieces of rope and tied her wrists to the legs, pulling her arms down as far as the wideness of the table allowed. Then, she tied her ankles to the other legs, forcing Luise to lie on her back in a mere spread eagle. Then, she saw Chloe balling up something white in her hand. She knew what was coming and clamped her mouth shut, but Chloe just yanked her head back by pulling on her hair. Luise wanted to shriek with pain, but now, a big wad that turned out to be some damp cotton wool was stuffed into her mouth.
„Uuuhhmmmphh! Mmhhmmmph!“
„Madeleine, I need something to fix her gag with!“
The tape that had gagged the two French women earlier now was crumpled up, but Madeleine quickly found a solution. Whilst Chloe kept Luise from spitting out the vile tasting gag that was still wet with the other woman`s saliva, she took the noose that had been around her neck. She forced the rope between Luise`s lips and tightened the noose in the back of her neck.
„Mmmhhrrrrrmmm!“
Luise shook her head and tried to wriggle off that rope, but now, Madeleine took the other end and brought it under the table. She stepped to the other end of it and pulled until Luise was forced to arch her head wider and wider over the edge of the table. When there was no more slack in the rope, Luise`s chin was pointing up in the air and she made gurgling sounds through her gag. Madeleine wanted to tie the other end off to one of the table`s legs, but Chloe interrupted her.
„Just hold that rope tight, I`ve got an idea!“
Chloe took the other end of the rope and removed the noose tied to it. Then, she took the rope and pulled, ensuring that Luise could hardly move her head and had to remain in that painful position. She slung the end around Luise?s waist and tied it off. The perfidy of that arrangement showed immediately when Madeleine let the rope go and Luise tried to raise her head. Now, the rope emerging from her waist pressed deeper into her pubic mound whenever she tried to move her head too much. It was not especially painful, but irritating and humiliating.

„Mph!“
„Well, that should keep you fro too much sudden movement“, Chloe laughed and let the tight rope flick to the German`s panty clad middle, causing a mewing.
„At least, we are better off now“, Madeleine considered. She had put on the coat and except for the fact that she still was lacking shoes, she looked almost decent. But she had found a solution to that, too. Luise had brought some food in two linen bags. These, she pulled over her feet and secured them with some of the remaining rope. It looked ridiculous, but like that, she would not freeze until she was able to get some appropriate footwear.
The two French greedily ate and drank and then, they considered what to do next. They both knew that sooner or later the other two women would come here and they considered wether to wait for them or to try to get into the school.
„We know that they have tried to feign that they want to become nurses, just like us. So, if they played their cards right, they should be there right now. So, all we have to do is to wait until they show up here. Then, we can persuade them to cooperate if they want to see that little beauty alive again!“
Luise let out a groan of sheer desperation. Not only did she feel guilty that she had been overpowered by her enemies once more, but also she knew that it would be at least another 26 hours until Dorothea or Anna would show up. And her tight bondage had already become very straining and inconvenient!
***
Eleanor „the General“ Rant was a very strict and demanding teacher even if her pupils did her very best. but today, the three student nurses were like mad. They dropped things, didn`t listen to what she said and misunderstood the easiest orders. So, after only one hour of the morning lesson, she slammed her cane on her desk. Since the girls were all over 18, she never used the cane to beat them, but she liked the thought that they feared she once might do so.
„Ladies, your friend Salome is suffering from a cold, not from the plague! And besides, Jane has taken care of her! So, could you please concentrate better on your work!“
Eleanor had ordered the other three elder nurses, Jill, Helen and Emma, to study some theory in the library. These and their colleague Jane were liable and diligent and so, she allowed them some liberties compared to how she treated those who learned their job from the very beginning.
„Mary! What`s so interesting you have to whisper to Elisabeth when I am speaking to you?“
Usually, Eleanor never used any nicknames to adress her pupils, but since her own name was Eleanor, too, the director and her had agreed upon calling the 18 year old girl „Nelly“. Only in the case of Bessie, Molly and Sally, Eleanor referred to them as "Elisabeth", „Mary“ and „Salome“.
Molly stammered an excuse, but it was too late. Eleanor knew that these girls had somehow lost their marbles for now and so, she ordered them to get into the callar and to take care of the dirty laundry. The three girls disappeared without the usual complaints. Obviously, they accepted their punishment with some dignity.
However, when the three had left the room, Bessie blurted:
„In the cellar, there is Sally, too! Maybe, we can free her!“
„You heard what they said. If we try that, they will kill her. And besides, they have the Government on their side.“
Molly was the most faint of heart of the four student nurses, but Bessie, whose father was a policeman, knew better:
„The Government can`t kill you for just being around and disturbing someone just by coincidence. And so, if we free Sally and go to the police, they will perhaps take us somewhere until these agents have completed their mission, but they won`t hurt us. My father always says that all those stories about agents killing anyone seeing them are just nonsense!“
Actually, her father had once only tried to calm down his at that time 12 years old daughter who had not been able to sleep after seeing a thriller about spies at the cinema. But even now, seven years later, Bessie was convinced that her father knew almost everything about criminals and spies and so, she sounded very convincing.
Nelly, who was the best in walking soundlessly, went to the library and peeped through the keyhole. When she came back, she smiled:
„Jill, Helen and Emma are inside, reading some books. So, even if they put up a guard, it`s only Jane we have to take care of.“
Indeed, this was helping the three girls to calm down a bit. Jane, a woman of some 25 with white blonde hair, always seemed a bit nervous and was the least threatening of the four agents. So, Nelly, Molly and Bessie each grabbed a basked full of laundry and went down the stairs.
When they looked around the corner to the corridor leading towards the boiler room, they could see that the door was open and the light was on. On tiptoes, the three sneaked closer.
„Right, I will allow you to go to the toilet, but remember I am two steps behind you and holding the gun!“
It was Jane`s voice and only moments later, Sally stepped through the open door. To their horror, the three girls saw that their friend was wearing a straight jacket and that a tight strap was tied between her legs. She was gagged with some adhesive tape over her mouth. Sally stopped and mmphed with surprise when she saw her friends standing in the corridor. Jane, who hadn`t seen Bessie, Molly and Nelly yet, walked on and collided with Sally.
„Oops!“
The gun fell from her hand and now, several thing s happened at the same time. Sally jumped forward and kicked backwards, making Jane stagger. In the same moment, Bessie raised her laundry basket and put it over the blonde agent`s head. Jane let out a muffled cry and tried to get the basket from her head, but now, Nelly had grabbed her arms and tried to get hold of her. Again, Jane screamed through the laundry covering her head.
„Calm down, or I will send you directly to hell!“
Bessie had grabbed the gun and poked it into Jane`s stomach. The girl had never before used a weapon, but of course, Jane did not know that and so, she stopped her struggles.
„You know what that will mean to you all?“, she asked when she had taken the basket from her head. She tried to remain calm, but her voice was slightly trembling. Jane actually never went oot on missions, but she had been a real nurse during the war and so, she had been chosen for this job. And now, she had just discovered that the other woman had escaped! She had planned to inform the others immediately, but Sally had pleaded with her eyes and made clear even bound and gagged as she was that she needed to go to the bathroom very badly. And so, Jane had decided that another five minutes wouldn`t matter. But now, this had turned out to be a terrible mistake. She knew that her opponents were only girls, but they could do something stupid, too.
„Mmhhmmph!“
Sally reminded her friends of her presence and Molly ripped the tape from her head. Sally spat out a sodden rag and after some panting, she said:
„Let`s get her into the cell! There is a pair of handcuffs and so, we can secure her!“
Despite still wearing the straight jacket, Sally had taken her roll as the leader of the little group and so, the others obeyed and forced Jane into the cell where Bessie cuffed her hands to the bed.
„Girls, you are in really deep problems now! Release me at once and then, we may perhaps be mildly!“
The other three girls looked at Sally with uneasiness. They were four, had a gun and Jane had her wrists tied, but what if she told the truth and the ´Secret Service could really punish them? Sally sighed and said:
„We will keep her here, as our hostage, and then, we will start negotiations with the others. We are British citizens, too, and so, we are on their sides. Maybe, we can even help them in finding an enemy agent or to secure the country! But before anything else, help me out of this dreadful jacket!“
