Holding the rope`s ends in his left, Josef reached around Molly`s thighs. Then, he pushed his right between the protesting girl`s legs from behind. Understanding the planned arrangement, one of the men took the rope and threaded the ends through Molly`s rope belt before handing it into Josef`s fingers. Quickly, he pulled back his hand and pulled both girls`s pelvisses close together before tying the rope off to Molly`s belt.
„Mhmmmph! Uuhhhnnnn! Nnnngggg!“
„Mmmhrrrrrrr! Hhmmmmmm! Mhhmmmmm!“
Both girls desperately tried to find a position that allowed a bit more distance between them, but to no avail. The slightest move one of them made with her hips did not only their shared crotch rope cause to move between their labia, also their pubic mounds were grinding against each other. However, staying still wasn`t an option either, for the close contact of their pubic areas was already making them sweat from the warmth and so, they knew that they would soon have to move again.
Their boobs were mashed against each other, but since that would have added the pressure down below, they resisted arching back their upper bodies. Nelly could see the wild expression in Molly`s brown eyes and she almost wished that she would faint, too. However, her frightened and embarrassed mind was just strong enough to keep her awake.
With some effort, the men took the two girls so intimately connected and lifted them into the upper one of one of the two bunk beds. Now, they did not longer have to fight for balance, but there wasn`t much space in the narrow bed. Luckily, a small railing would prevent them from falling off, no matter how much they struggled.
Whilst Jane still was lying unconscious, Bessie was almost mad with fear. Having seen what these men had done to Nelly and Molly, she was more than afraid what they would do to her, since the man had promised her a „punishment“.
She could see Josef cutting three more ropes. Then, he helped Bessie to stand up whilst his men held Jane by her arms. The girl helplessly had to watch as he tied a doubled rope around Jane`s waist and brought the ends between her legs, pulling the rope tight before knotting it off. Despite her exitement, Bessie recognized that this crotch rope wasn`t connected to something else. However, her thoughts were distracted when Josef tied a similar crotch rope between her legs, ignoring her muffled protests.
Whilst Bessie was trying to cope with the strange feeling between her legs, the men waited for Jane to wake up again. Then, to both girls`s great surprise, they removed the tape around their fingers, but only to tape each hand individually. Then, they removed the ropes from both Jane`s and Bessie`s wrists and elbows. They were allowed to shake their numb arms a bit, but then, they were positioned back to back, or rather butt to butt. Bessie moaned with dismay as Josef crossed her wrists in front of Jane`s body and tied them off to the other`s crotch rope. A tug on the rope between her legs told her that Jane`s hands were tied the same way.
„Now, you might think that you could lower yourself to the ground and squirm until you might reach something sharp – or until you find some relief and fun from your crotch ropes. However, I promised you some punishment.“
Enjoying the growing fear of his captives, he waited until his men had packed their belongings and were ready to leave before showing a small box to them. He shook it and they could hear some metallic rattling. Then, he opened the lid and showed them a small object that looked like four nails that formed a tetrahedral, with the peaks pointing to the outside.
„When you throw these on the ground, one peak will always point up. They were used since the old Romans for stopping horses, but I have always considered it as barbaric to do such a thing to an animal.“
Having said so, he poured the hundreds of peaky things all over the ground. Then, slightly bowing towards Bessie and Jane, the three men left.
Bessie understood the perfidy of the arrangement. As long as they remained standing, nothing more than a loss of dignity was happening to them – and even that was not as worse as that of Molly and Nelly whom they could hear rustling and moaning from the upper bed. but if they toppled over or lowered their bodies to the ground, they would get pierced by the vicious nails. Each peak was some inch long and though it would not be lethal, none of them wanted to end up as a female Fakir. Bessie already felt her legs becoming weak, although they were standing for just a minute.

Anna had tried everything she knew and now, she had come to the conclusion that only one desperate move would get her free. She had to admit that Sally had tied her up simply, but efficiently. The knots binding her wrists were out of reach and with her arms pulled up behind her back, she had to remain standing with her upper body bent forward, looking down on the bound, gagged and blindfolded Eleanor who was still weakly squirming in her bonds.
Anna gigled involuntarily through the wad stuffing her mouth she had not been able to remove with her tongue or by moving her chin, since the cleave gag was too tightly applied. Had they been tied the other way round, she would have been free long ago. Eleanor was hogtied with two pairs of handcuffs and Anna knew how to open these with nothing more than her fingers. But obviously, the other wonan had no such skills.
She could see that Eleanor was not only covered with sweat, but that there was also a small wet spot at her panties, just around the crotch rope tying her to the ceiling hook. So, the girl had not only felt fear or anger when she had been tied up like this for hours.
Anna breathed deeply through her nose. The last move possible was something of „all or nothing“. She would have to jump up and to try to get her body through her bound arms by trying something like a roll forward. It sounded like a simple exercise on the rings, but if she failed, she could dislodge her shoulders and would be even more helpless – and screaming from pain. So, she was collecting all her strength and courage. With her ankles bound, it would be even more difficult to get enough impetus. However, before she could try her best, the door opened.

„A-Anna?“
„Mhmmm!“
„Mph!“, Eleanor added from the floor.
Under other circumstances, the situation would have been ridiculous. In the door, Dorothea was standing, naked except for her garters and stockings and her long blonde hair looking dishevelled. She looked down on her bound and gagged comrade and on the other woman in the same predicament, both clad only in their underwear.
A moment later, Dorothea had ungagged Anna and whilst she was working on her wrists, was giving her a short summary of what had happened. Then, she began working on Anna`s ankles.
„So, you are still mad about Luise sleeping with Wolfgang? I thought you would have been over that long ago!“
Dorothea stopped in her motion.
„Y-you knew about his – affair?“
„Well, of course. After all, it was me who took the photo and sent it to you!“
Dorothea sank to the floor, leaning against Eleanor that protested weakly, and looked up to Anna who was just rubbing her wrists. She was too perplex to say anything, but Anna continued:
„We all knew. Well, Wolfgang more or less just knew that he was betraying you. It was Klein`s idea actually. Have you never wondered why you were sent on such a dangerous mission without any previous experience?“
„But, what, why-?“
„Klein had read your curriculum and saw that you would fit exactly: fluent in English and with some experience in working as a nurse. But he wants his employees to have no relationships. He says, otherwise they won`t be completely loyal to the subject. And so, we planned to get Wolfgang and you from each other.“
Dorothea felt as if she was falling from a high tower. So, Klein, Anna and Luise had been working together and destroyed her relationship, just to make her a more useful pawn in the game?
„But, I loved him! And he-“
„Oh, he loved you, too“, Anna answered, „but he also loved the thought of getting closer to Luise – and me, for what that means.“
She giggled whilst Dorothea had difficulties in fully understanding what she just heard.
„Oh, did you think I had been hiding in the cupboard whilst taking the photo? It was done during a – rather intimate photo shoot. Actually, there are more photos taken by Luise that show Wolfgang and me, but I`m afraid she`s more photogenic than me.“
Now, Dorothea slowly came to her feet, silently shaking her head. Anna padded her shoulder and meant:
„Come on, I am just telling you to show you how the business is: there is nothing but loyalty towards our country ant the mission we are on. Forget about all that, because now, we have to concentrate on getting the Italian in our hands. As you can see from me having been tied up, there`s not just us around here.“
Dorothea`s first reaction was to slap the smile from Anna`s face, but suddenly, she became very calm and matter-of-factly.
„Well, we need some clothes – me more than you. And besides, what about her?“ She pointed at Eleanor. „After all, she has heard our little conversation.“
Anna thought for a moment, then, she answered:
„Perhaps, she doesn`t understand German. Otherwise, we have to kill her right now.“
The lack of a reaction from the bound and gagged women either proved that she was a brilliant actress or indeed didn`t understand German at all. Anna nodded:
„Perhaps, she can help us, since she knows the building better than we do. and besides, she has at least some clothes to help you cover your lovely nakedness.“
Dorothea ignored both the faked lewdness in Anna`s voice and the fact that this woman had betrayed her just like Luise and looked reluctantly at Eleanor`s underwear. She too had recognized the wet spot on the other`s panties.
„It looks as if she has been quite exited about your presence. Well, sometimes, it`s not only sweat and tears that lead to success. You can open these cuffs?“
They took the clothes from the squirming and moaning Eleanor methodically. First, Dorothea pulled her camisole over her head and opened her bra. Then, Anna opened her handcuffs and despite her struggles, they could get the garment from her and tie her hands again. Then, Anna loosened the crotch rope and Dorothea peeled Eleanor`s panties to her ankles. Now, the woman bucked and squirmed like mad, but since they were two, they managed to open her foot ties, remove the panties and to put her into a hogtie once more.
Dorothea put on the camisole, but discarded the bra that turned out to have too small cups for her ample breasts. Then, she reluctantly shook out the still damp panties before putting them on, too. She cringed when the wet material clung to her pelvis.
„What about her? Shall we reapply the crotch rope and leave her here?“
It seemed that Anna`s revelations had destroyed something in her. Now, Dorothea was cool and calm. Anna shook her head.
„First, we will have to ask her for help.“
She bent down to Eleanor`s ear and spoke in English:
„Do you agree helping us if we free you?“
Uttering a small sound through her gag, Eleanor nodded. Anna unwound the tape from her mouth and helped Eleanor to spit the gag from her mouth. After some panting, the still blindfolded woman began to whisper.
„What, I can`t understand a word!“
Dorothea bent forward and then, Eleanor made a quick move and tried to bite her. Since she was blindfolded, she only managed to slam her forehead against the blonde`s head. Then, she tried to scream for help.
„Help! Heeeuuhmmmph!“
Dorothea acted almost instinctively. She reached for Luise`s balled up and torn panties she had brought with her and that were lying beside her own on the floor. She crammed the silk mass deep into Eleanor`s throat and pressed against it with both hands whilst Anna kept the woman from too much struggling. Finally, exhaustion forced Eleanor to stop fighting. Groaning through the firm wad in her mouth, she panted and stopped moving, her whole body trembling from fear and anger.
„That, my dear, was a bad mistake!“
„Mmhhrrrrr!“
Dorothea kept Eleanor from spitting out her gag whilst Anna looked for something to secure it. Finally, she took the stockings Sally had bound her with and tied one of these between Eleanor`s lips. The hogtied woman let out a furious grunt and squirmed, trying to get away from her captors.
Dorothea decided to restrain the bound Eleanor some more and, remembering her own plight, she took the other stocking from Anna`s hand and tied it tightly around their captive`s waist. Then, she unhooked the long rope that had fixed Eleanor to the ceiling. Tying one end to the stocking belt, she brought the rope between Eleanor`s legs and threaded it through the belt again. Then, she pulled until the rope dug deep into the captive`s crotch and disappeared between her buttocks.
„Mmhhrrrmmmmm! Uuhhhhmmmm! Mph!“
„That`s what they all say“, Dorothea mocked. All pity seemed to have left her and she now slung the rope around the chains of Eleanor`s cuffs, pressing her wrists and heels against her butt, before finally tying the end around the naked woman`s neck. Dorothea took care that the noose could not tighten too much, but now, every squirming both put pressure to her throat and her crotch.
Dorothea now took her torn panties and carefully wiped all sweat from Eleanor`s cheeks and chin. Anna looked questioningly and Eleanor mmphed with uneasiness when Dorothea`s fragrance reached her nose. Now, Dorothea examined the tape that had gagged Eleanor before, ripped off the pieces that still looked intact and plastered these over Eleanor`s gagged mouth to further secure it. Then, she proved that she had learned her lesson and pinched Eleanor`s nipple.
„Mmhhhrrmmmm!“
Eleanor bucked, but this made the rope tear on her throat and her pulling on her wrist and ankle ties pulled the crotch rope deeper between her legs. So, a prolonged struggle was the result until the panting and sweating Eleanor found out that there was no convenient position for her. Nodding satisfied, Dorothea bent forward and whispered into the bound and gagged woman`s ear in fluent English:
„Struggle all the way you want. Maybe, the ropes will loosen, maybe your sense of modesty will break. Just give it a try, it`s your choice.“
Anna looked at her with a mixture of admiration and dismay. She was glad that Dorothea proved strength, but at the same time, she feared that she had woken up something dangerous.
Closing the door of the closet, the two women clad only in underwear sneaked forward, trying to accomplish their mission.

Daniela Cortese had first thought to get to the director immediately, but when she had went up the stairs, she found out that her excuse towards Alessandra had been more than a fake and so, she went into the common Ladie`s bathroom in the first floor and disappeared into one of the small toilet cabins.
To not crumple her bathrobe, Daniela hung it to a hook and peeled down her panties. With a sigh of relief, Daniela relieved her bladder and just sat there for a few moments. She had been on the run for quite a while now, but never before it had been so dangerous. She thought if it wouldn`t be better to just tell the British the truth about her researches. But then, something distracted her thoughts.
Daniela had put the gun taken from Madeleine to the ground and now, a hand from the adjacent cabin reached through the gap between the wall and the floor and grabbed her gun. Two seconds later, the door opened and Daniela, sitting there naked and in an undignified position, looked into the barrel of the pistol.
***
At Catherine`s office, the three British agents were having an improvised military counsil. Helen had phoned a contact person and organized that the soldiers positioned around the mansion would arrive around midnight with two cars and would get them to another hiding place. Looking at her watch, she could see that they still had some five hours to wait.
Jane still was missing, but Helen did not dare to send a search party. She was quite sure that some enemy groups already were inside the house. If they had captured Jane, it would be too risky to try freeing her. Helen hoped that the foreign agents would run away and leave her behind once the soldiers would arrive. She felt guilty, but she also knew that splittling up and searching the building would not be reasonable either.
„What about her?“, Emma asked, pointing at the still bound and gagged director. Catherine still was bent over her desk, forced to stand with her legs spread and her ankles tied to the desk`s legs. Her skirt still was crumpled around her hips, but for a while, the three women had left her alone.
„Well, once Sergeant Wise has arrived, I will tell him that he and his men will have to take care of the building whilst we will leave. I am sure that they will set free Jane in the progress, too. At least, I hope so. But now, I think we should get over to the doctor and her assistant. I don`t want anything to happen within the last hours.“
Jill quickly checked the director`s bonds and spanked her pantyclad butt for one last time. Then, the three agents left for the laboratory.
At the door, Helen wanted to knock, but then, she looked through the keyhole before and examined the room.
„Damned!“, she hissed. Then, raising her gun, she silently opened the door and made a sign to her colleagues to backup her.
Inside the laboratory, she could see three woman, all bound and gagged. First, Helen`s eyes fell on Alessandra, the doctor`s assistant, who was sitting on a chair with her hands tied behind her back and her feet tied to the chair`s front legs. To her surprise, the Italian was wearing a blouse, but no skirt and Helen could see the white silk of her panties showing. The young woman had some tape plastered over her lips and the way her cheeks bulged Helen could guess that her mouth was thoroughly packed beneath.
Drawing by hugues66
Beside Alessandra, a small woman with long brown hair was kneeling. Her wrists were tied to her ankles and she was gagged with tape and some mouth packing, too. Number three was a tallish blonde with shoulder length hair who was tied and gagged the same way, but who was lying on her side.
„Mmhhmmmph!“, Alessandra moaned, looming at Helen with a wild expression.
„Is there still someone here?“, Helen whispered.
Alessandra twisted her eyes and nodded towards the door to the sleeping rooms. Helen and Jill sneaked forward whilst Emma guarded the door. Helen looked through the keyhole and nodded towards Jill. With her fingers, she counted to three. Then, she kicked open the door and both women jumped in with raised guns.
„Hands up and don`t try anything stupid!“
Luise let out a squeal of surprise. She was in no position to try anything, for she was only clad in bra and panties borrowed from the drawers of the two Italians and her gun was lying about a yard away from her.
About fifteen minutes earlier, Alessandra, who had been totally unaware of Luise`s presence under the laboratory desk, had realized that she was still standing there with no skirt on. Giggling nervously, she had put the gun to the desk and reached for her skirt to put it on.
Luise had taken that chance, jumped from her hideout, grabbed the gun and had forced Alessandra to sit in the chair. Then, she had quickly tied up and gagged the Italian. Luise had smiled maliciously at the two French agents who still were bound and gagged, too. But then, she had seen her own naked image in the reflecting surface of a metal cylinder and so, she had decided to get dressed before anything else. Inside the sleeping rooms of the two Italians, she had found a collection of fine silk underwear, but by trying to find some fitting garments, she had forgotten about the fact that she was not the only person within the building.
„Ah, the German spy that has left our guest room a while ago. Well, that was a big mistake, but be sure that we will take care you won`t be able to try that again!“
***
„Phew, you really scared me to death! But now, what do you think? Shall we try to work together with the Secret Service or better call the police?“
Shortly after Sally had taken Daniela by surprise, she had seen that the Italian doctor was no danger and so, they had exchanged the news about what was currently going on. Daniela only knew that some foreign agents seemed to be inside the school and that the director had somehow fallen from grace, too. Sally, on the other hand, could at least tell that Helen and her colleagues weren`t that friendly, too, and she did not want to fall into their hands again.
„I think calling the police is the best thing to do. Unfortunately, the only telephone with a connection to the outside is in the director`s office – where, as you said, Helen, Emma and Jill are right now.“
„Maybe, they have left to look for Jane. There is another group, consisting of some men, operating inside the school. Maybe, they have her. Anyway, there is only one way to find out!“
Reluctantly, Daniela followed Sally through the corridor. Though both women were armed with guns, Daniela had no interest in getting into a shooting. Overpowering the two French agents had just be daring enough. She thought of Alessandra, but she knew that calling for help would be of greater importance now.
They reached the office without difficulties and when Sally listened at the door, she could only hear some faint moaning. Slowly, she opened the door and the two women went inside.
„Mmhhmmmph! Uuhhmmmmm!“
Catherine rose her head and stared at the two entering persons. On the one hand, she was glad that maybe rescue was near, but on the other hand, she felt ashamed to be found by one of her student nurses in such an embarrassing position.
„Are they still here, Dr. Moore?“, Sally asked. Catherine mmphed indignantly through her gag, demanding to be freed immediately. However, Sally just rummaged the room before she nodded.
„We will call the police and then, we will free you and try to hide until they come and save us from whoever is haunting that house!“
Catherine once again moaned through her gag, but Sally ignored her and took the telephone. However, when she was just about to tell the switchboard lady who she was, the line went dead.
„Perhaps, you should talk to us first!“; a man`s voice said and Sally could see someone jumping in from the window board. The girl reached for her gun and Daniela tried to shoot, but at the same moment, two more men entered the room with raised guns. Accepting their fate, both Sally and Daniela lifted up their hands.
„Good girls. Now, please sit over there in these chairs, please.“
The two obeyed and Josef took their guns. Then, one of his men closed the door and took position behind it whilst the other one checked the windows.
„It`s always a good idea to get the headquarter under your control. To be honest, we have no idea who you are, but we are sure you can give us some advice where to find Dr. Cortese!“
Actually, Josef and his men hadn`t come totally unprepared. He could guess that the woman bent bound and gagged over her desk was the school`s director, Dr. Catherine Moore. And on two photos, he had seen Dr. Daniela Cortese and recognized her. He just had not the slightest idea who the other girl was. Josef knew that Daniela had an assistant, but this girl was too young and besides, she wasn`t looking Italian at all.
„Well, I am Dr. Cortese`s assistant! If you allow me, I will get her for you!“
Daniela had risen from her seat and was approaching the door. It was a desperate attempt to get away from capture. However, the man just smiled at her:
„Well, Dr. Cortese - `s assistant“, Josef made a pause in adressing her, giving her a hint he knew exactly who she was, „maybe we should talk a little before we leave that cosy room. Perhaps, I should start by introducing ourselves. My name is of no importance, but we are working for the Republic of Poland!“
Josef let fall his loose disguise as a Russian agent. Since Poland was a Catholic country, like Italy, he was sure that Daniela would possibly agree more willingly in cooperating with them than with the Sovjets. However, the woman did not seem that impressed. Insted, she continued pleading:
„Please, Sir, allow me to go and I-“
„Shut up!“, Josef ordered, raising his voice in a well-dosed way to intimidade his captives. Daniela fell silent and Josef now looked at all three women in a way that was quite frightening before he continued:
„We Poles are facing an uncertain future, our country lying between Germany and Russia who have both not proved to be peace- and respectful towards us in the past. However, we are brave people. Brave, honest – and we hate liars!“
His left hand darted forward and grabbed the belt of Daniela`s bathrobe, giving it a hard pull. The Italian squealed with surprise and jumped back, but before she had been able to close her bathrobe with her hands, Josef had already seen that she was only wearing a pair of panties underneath.
„In Poland, we have scientific journals, too. I recognized you at the first sight, Dr. Cortese. So, I hope our collaboration won`t continue as it has started – with you trying to fool me!“
Daniela had managed to hide her body under the bathrobe, even with the belt now dangling from Josef`s hand. She blushed slightly from the humiliation, but her voice was steady and defiant:
„If you have nothing to offer than rude behaviour towards a Lady, there will be no collaboration at all!“
Josef looked at her and within a second, Daniela could see three emotions showing in his eyes. First, he seemed to be angry and trying to oppress his desire to slap her face. Then, she could see some respect for her bravery. And finally, he seemed to have found back to his slightly arrogant attitude.
„Well, I am sure that we can persuade you, sooner or later. But now, we-“
All the time since Daniela had taken the man`s attention, Sally had been looking for an escape. No one was looking at her at the moment, but her gun was now lying some three yards away. The only thing she could reach for was an ashtray at the table right in front of her.
Without thinking, Sally grabbed the ashtray and threw it at the table lamp, the only light turned on inside the office. She nearly hit Catherine by doing so, but the lamp fell and broke, leaving the room in total darkness.
Sally knew that the window right behind her still was only ajar and she quickly jumped to it. She heard some cursing and the squeal of Daniela, but before someone had turned on the main light, she had managed to jump to an adjacent roof and to get into safety.
Josef, who could just see her disappear behind a chimney, cursed before he turned to his men who had grabbed Daniela`s arms.
„Let`s get away from here. And let`s better leave no evidence behind!“
