Anna and Luise were hardly surprised that the three men brought their captives to the hut where Luise had left Dorothea, since it was the first building on the road leading from the school. The two women sneaked toward the window, but the men hadn`t put on any lights and their whispered conversation was in Polish which neither Anna nor Luise could understand.
However, after about one hour, the sound of an engine could be heard and they saw the lights of an approaching car. Anna and Luise ducked deeper in their cover, for they thought that these were the men`s accomplices. But the little van didn`t stop and went on on it`s way to the school.
„Maybe, these are some British agents. Reinforcement for the women who caught you.“
Luise nodded and pulled Anna down to her, for now, she saw that the three men were leaving and once again running towards the school.
„Well, that`s our chance, let`s get inside and see if we were right.“
Carefully, the two women sneaked inside the hut. In the room, dimly lit by the shining moon, they could see the cart with the barrel on it standing in the middle of the room. As they approached, they could hear some faint moaning from underneath the blanket draped over the barrel.
„Dr. Cortese, I presume?“, Anna said as she pulled away the blanket. However, what she saw was a little bit different from what she had expected. Her eyes fell on two heads hooded by some black cloth hoods and she could also see the bare shoulders of two females. To her surprise, she could also see two pairs of feet and with horror, she realized that both women`s ankles had been crossed behind their necks and tied off there. It sure was a very straining and uncomfortable position.
None of the women had reacted to Anna`s speaking to them, but they both twitched when she touched one of their shoulders.
„Shall we leave them like this and take them with us or do we free them instead?“, Luise asked. She looked over to her colleague who just opened her mouth for an answer when suddenly a hand was clamped over her mouth. Before she could even utter a sound, Luise was grabbed from behind and something smelly was pressed against her mouth and nose.
„Mmhrrrrrrr! Uuhhmmmmm!“
„Mhhmmmph!“, was all Anna could add. Usually, she was a skilled fighter, but this attacker had taken her completely by surprise and the narcotic was working fast. Soon, her eyes twisted and she collapsed in her attacker`s grip, followed by Luise seconds later.
Dorothea held the cotton wool pad one minute longer pressed against Anna`s face before lowering the unconscious woman to the floor. Sally, who had overpowered Luise, looked at her questioningly and asked:
„What now?“
„Well, we haven`t got much time, but I think I`ve got an idea that will give us a head start and also teach these two bitches a lesson!“
***
Some hour earlier, the combined efforts of Dorothea and Sally had allowed them to get themselves out of the bathtub. When they were lying on the bathmat, they both continued to wriggle off the wet blanket and finally, they were lying half inside the bathroom, half inside the adjacent sleeping room and were panting. They were both covered with water and sweat, but the slippery of their bodies did not help to remove the ropes tying them individually and they were still connected by the tight crotch rope.
But now, Sally, who was once more lying atop, could get her face close to the edge of a cupboard and with admirable finesse – of course made easier by the fact the tape was soaking wet – she managed to peel the tape from her mouth. Now, Dorothea could see that a stocking was tied between her lips, preventing her from spitting out a wad of cloth that Dorothea recognized as Luise`s torn panties that had been used to gag her earlier.
„Mph! Uuhhmph!“
Speeded by her latest success, Sally now crawled over to the protruding hinge of the cupboard`s door. Dorothea understood that Sally wanted to hook her cleave gag to that hinge, but by trying to get there, she twisted the crotch rope to an almost unbearable level.
„Girl, easy, there`s no need to split me into two!“, she thought and let out an annoyed grunt.
However, the energetic Sally once more succeeded. She managed to work the cleave gag over her chin and began to spit out the sodden panties that landed on the floor, followed by some saliva.
„Phew, that makes conversation a lot easier“, Sally croaked after some panting.
„Mmhmmm!“, Dorothea answered, reminding Sally that this conversation still was a bit one-sided. So, she went closer and began to work on Dorothea`s gag with her teeth.
„First, she literally fucked me and now, she`s kissing me“, Dorothea thought involuntarily, but soon, Sally had removed the tape and pulled down the cleave gag. Dorothea turned her head aside and worked the sodden panties from her mouth.
„So, you got mine“, Sally said, looking at the sodden ball of silk.
„Not my fault, dear“, Dorothea answered with a wryly smile.
Since they now could coordinate their ideas and skills, getting free was becoming easier. First Dorothea and then Sally managed to peel the tape from their fingers by using the hinge as a hook. Then, they used their numb fingers to reach for the knots of their crotch rope and finally, both girls were able to separate their loins for the first time in what had seemed ages.
Now, they could turn back to back and pick on their other bonds and after a few minutes, the two naked women were completely free and shortly hugged each other. Then, suddenly, Sally jumped up. Before Dorothea could do or say something, Sally had pulled the chamber pot from under the bed, crouched over it and relieved her bladder, sighing deeply.
„That`s an exact comment on our current situation“, Dorothea said with a giggle. Sally blushed and rose. Dorothea gently pushed her aside, squatted and peed, too.
„Oh, stop grinning like a Cheshire Cat, that isn`t funny!“, Sally blurted, but a second later, she started giggling, too. Again, the two women embraced each other and they laughed from relief.
A small sound coming from the adjacent laboratory reminded them of the reality. Carefully, Dorothea looked and saw that Madeleine and Chloe were still lying where they had found them, both hogtied and gagged. She just realized that Anna – or Luise – had added to the two French`s helplessness by taping their fingers and putting some tape over their eyes, too.
„What shall we do now?“, Sally suddenly asked. Dorothea turned to her naked companion of whom she didn`t even know her name.
„Well, I think that you may just find some clothes from Dr. Cortese`s drawers and wait for the police to come. But I beg you to give me a head start, since I have the problem that not only the British Secret Service will be behind me, but also my own.“
Whilst saying so, she had already begun rummaging through Daniela`s drawers and cupboards. However, Sally hadn`t moved at all. Instead, she spoke:
„I am not sure that we will be much better off. One of the British agents told me that me and my colleagues know too much and that they will let us disappear to avoid trouble. I don`t think that they will kill us, but I don`t want to find out either. Can`t we leave together instead?“
Dorothea, who had just picked a black pair of knickers from a drawer looked at Sally with disbelief.
„You-you want to follow me into a life full of danger, running away from the law and the revenge of foreign spies?“
„Well, that sounds quite adventurous to me. And at least, we have just proved that we can even escape the most lethal death traps.“
Dorothea knew that she should have told Sally something about responsibility, about behaving like an adult or that the life of an outlaw was not as described in pulp novels. But instead, she said:
„Let`s hope you find something that fit`s you, too.“

The reason why Sergeant Wise had not left Inverness before half past eleven had a simple reason. He and his five men had been working in the town in disguise and he and one of his men had been working in a pub near the school. It was an excellent location to get information about anything happening there, since the housekeeper and the cook were regular visitors, too, but also, it was opened until 11o`clock and so, to keep their disguise alive, they could not leave earlier. For a moment, he had thought of phoning Helen that now they were leaving, but he had decided against it. After all, they were expected anyway. Wise hadn`t told his superiors either, since he had an adress to where he should bring the two Italians if any disturbance occurred and that was all he needed. Besides, he and his five men were sure enough for a simple taxi service.

„If I were you, I wouldn`t struggle too much“, Dorothea said towards Madeleine and Chloe before she and Sally left the laboratory.
The two had quickly dressed. Sally, being 5`3``, had been less lucky than Dorothea who measured 5`7``, just like Daniela. The blonde just could not find a fitting bra and so, she was only wearing a camisole beneath her blouse. She had also put on a knee-length woolen skirt, some boots and a long, expensive black coat. Sally wore another skirt that reached to her ankles and a blouse that more or less fit. She had also chosen a jacket and boots and though she looked a bit shabby, she now at least was once more fully dressed. Luckily, Daniela had left a collection of fresh underwear to them and so, they could even put some changing clothes into the bag they had also taken from the cupboard. Also, there had been a wallet containing some 100 Pound which would help them to get over the next weeks.
When Dorothea`s eyes once more fell on Madeleine and Chloe, she suddenly stopped and said:
„Sally, I know we have to hurry, but on the other hand, I am sure that you as a British can easily be persuaded to insult a French.“
„Actually, I am Scottish, and in the past, the French sometimes were our allies. But now, I am working together with a German, so, what do you have in mind?“
Dorothea could not resist the opportunity to get some revenge on Madeleine and Chloe, if she had to dispense with getting Anna and Luise into her clutches.
They carried the protesting Chloe over to the bedroom and loosened her feet, only to remove her shoes and stockings and to tie her ankles to the lower bedposts. The little French squirmed and moaned through her gag, not even knowing who was tying her up that way. Sally brought a scalpel from the laboratory and cut away her skirt and garter belt, leaving her naked except for her panties below the waist. Dorothea checked her wrist ties and her taped fingers, then, she took a pair of scissors and she and Sally cut away Chloe`s blouse, camisole and bra.
„I`ve got an idea, but perhaps, it`s too – daring“, Sally whispered.
„Believe me, these two deserve the worst treatment, except for getting killed, maybe!“
Sally whispered something into Dorothea`s ear and the blonde smiled with glee. Then, she went for the laboratory and found a roll of tape and, surprisingly enough, a coiled rope. She cut a long piece and tied one end tightly around Chloe`s waist. In her best French, she whispered:
„Now, do you remember what you did to me? Maybe, next time, you will be more gentle.“
„Mhm? Mmmhhmmmph! Nnnnnngggg!“
Chloe screamed through her gag when Dorothea threaded the rope between her spread legs, put it over the head board of the bed and then threaded it through the French`s wrist ties. Then, she pulled. Chloe sent gurgling sounds through her gag as her arms were stretched behind her back and her crotch rope tightened. When Dorothea tied the rope off, Chloe had to sit in an inconvenient position with her arms pulled towards the upper end of the bed. the only possibility to get some slack into the rope was to arch back her body.
Now, they brought in Madeleine who too was stripped naked except for her panties. Then, she was seated opposite to Chloe and her long legs were tied to the bed`s upper bedposts. She also got a crotch rope that went over the lower board of the bed before it was tied off to her stretched arms. The two women now were sitting face to face, their open laps a few inches away from each other.
Sally saw that they could perhaps free themselves by arching back and so, she took a long scarf and tied it around both women`s necks. It did not block their breathing, but it prevented them from leaning back and perhaps work on their bonds.
„Just for one last thing“, Dorothea said. She took the scalpel, cut Chloe`s panties and yanked them off. The girl squealed when the crotch rope now pressed directly against her clit and labia. It seemed that Sally understood what Dorothea had in mind, for she had already peeled the tape from Madeleine`s mouth. The blonde spat out a wad of cotton wool, but before she could scream, Sally pinched her nose shut and Dorothea stuffed her mouth firmly with her colleague`s underwear. Sally sealed her mouth with several rounds of tape, but the frantic gurgling told them that Madeleine was only too aware what she was gagged with.
„Mmhhrrmmm!“
She became even more vocally as her own knickers were removed. Sally and Dorothea used these to gag Chloe. This gag was sealed with tape, too.
„Just something to chew on for the time until they get detected. Now, let`s go!“
„Oh no, I insist that the crowning touch is mine!“, Sally answered.
Dorothea frowned as she peeled the tape from both Madeleine`s and Chloe`s eyes. Then, she reached for the chamber pot she and Dorothea had used earlier. She placed the pot in the small, rhomboid gap formed by the two bound women`s thighs. It barely fit in and the embarrassed look on both their faces showed that they exactly knew what it was.
„Just sit still, or it might spill“, Sally giggled.
The two girls quickly looked if anything they could need was left in the laboratory. Since they didn`t know what future would bring, they took the remaining rope and tape with them, and, of course, the gun lying on the table. Dorothea also found a bottle that she recognized as the same narcotic Anna had shown her when they had been aboard the Zeppelin and she took it with her for obvious reasons.
When they had left the room and were just about to leave, Dorothea excused and quickly went back into the laboratory. She ran over to the sleeping room and put the sodden panties that had gagged her and Sally earlier into the pocket of her coat. She was quite sure that she would never see Luise or Anna again, but if they would meet, she wanted to be prepared.
Then, in the laboratory, she picked Daniela`s diary that was still lying there and stowed that in her pocket, too.
„At least, now I am the only one, except for Dr. Cortese himself, who knows her secret“, she thought before she went for the waiting Sally.

„This has been a gift from god“, Josef whispered as they sneaked into the school`s court.
„Or maybe from the devil“, Jan thought, but he knew that this was the best they could do. Josef`s plan was daring, but simple: trying to get to the car unseen and steal it. It was some „victory or death“, but if they succeeded, they had a realistic chance to reach their boat and to be on open waters with their captives before dawn.
First, it seemed that they would have to fight, for the car was guarded by three men, but then, a window opened in the first floor and a voice yelled:
„Boys, get in here quickly! You won`t believe what has happened!“
The three British obeyed and a minute later, Josef, Jan and Polygraph were at the car. Now, even the pessimistic Jan smiled: they had even forgotten to turn off the key.
„Maybe, this will not turn into a complete disaster“, he thought as they all had gotten inside and Polygraph turned the key.
***
„So, I think that`s far enough!“, Dorothea gasped and quite unceremoniously dumped the still naked, bound and gagged Daniela to the grass. Sally, who had carried Alessandra, did the same.
When they had left the school, they had been surprised by an approaching car, but the driver hadn`t seen them and they had reached the hut to which Dorothea didn`t have the most pleasant memories. So, she was about to continue their walk to Inverness, but then, she saw that two persons were just entering the hut. Two female persons and she was quite sure that she knew them both only too well.
Sally had been a bit reluctant, but she had persuaded her to prepare a rag soaked with the narcotic, too, and so, they had overpowered Anna and Luise quite easily. Then, they had looked inside the barrel and seen the two naked, bound and hooded persons inside.
Dorothea had removed the hoods, just to be sure that these were indeed Daniela Cortese and her assistant. Both women blinked at her and mmphed through their gags.
„Patience, Ladies, we just have to do a few things before we have time for you!“
Since both Daniela and Alessandra still had their ears plugged, they didn`t understand what Dorothea was saying. With Sally`s help, she pulled the two bound and gagged women from the barrel and just leaned them to the wall. Then, she began to undress Anna. Sally, who seemed to understand what her new friend had in mind, closely examined the way Daniela and Alessandra were tied before she began to cut some lengths of rope.
Meanwhile, Dorothea had stripped both Anna and Luise and indeed, she said:
„We have to tie them exactly as these two!“
Alessandra moaned and squirmed slightly as the two girls turned her around and even lifted her from the ground to see exactly how she was tied up. But both Dorothea and Sally ignored their muffled pleading and tied up the two unconscious women in exactly the same way, together with the tight crotch rope. Before they bent their legs to tie their ankles in the back of their necks, Dorothea decided to gag them first. Again examining the way this was done to Alessandra and Daniela, she stuffed Luise`s panties into Anna`s mouth, tied one of her stockings between her lips and wound tape around the lower half of her face. Luise was gagged by Sally the same way, her mouth was stuffed with Anna`s panties.
By examining the gags of the two Italians, Sally had seen the earplugs and so, she had twisted some cotton wool and stuffed both Luise`s and Anna`s ears, too. Then, she wanted to put the hoods over their heads, but Dorothea stopped her:
„Just a reminder of the two of us.“
She took the still damp panties that had gagged her and Sally from her pocket and tied the one that had belonged to her over Luise`s face, taking care that the crotch part was over her nose. Sally did the same to Anna with her panties. They secured these with more tape, then, they heaved the two agents into the barrel.

„Let`s just hope that whoever opens that barrel next will be gentle to you!“, she thought. Luise had perhaps tried to kill her, but she hoped that this would not be the fate of these two.
Whilst Sally picked up the discarded clothes into their pocket, Dorothea approached the two Italians who mmphed and looked at her with widened eyes. Dorothea wanted to say something, but then, she heard an approaching car.
„Quickly, let`s go and take these two with us!“
In the last second, Sally remembered to put the blanket over the barrel. Then, she put Alessandra over her shoulder and followed Dorothea who had already left, carrying Daniela.
Once they had reached the little clearing, they watched from the distance as the three men quickly stopped at the hut, put the cart onto the van`s load area and drove off. Now, Dorothea bent down to Daniela and removed her earplugs.
„Dr. Cortese, you may not consider it that way, but I am your rescuing angel“, she whispered in French. Daniela moaned and looked questioningly. Dorothea`s Italian wasn`t good enough for what she had to say, but as far as she knew, Dr. Cortese spoke French, too.
„We can`t free you two completely, but we will free your legs so you can reach the school. I am not sure if your side or the others are currently on the draw, but you will sure be able to find out. Anyway, I wanted to give you this.“
„Mmhhmmph!“
Daniela was totally perplexed when Dorothea took the small diary from her pocket and shoved it under Daniela`s rope belt. Then, she continued:
„I could of course not understand all the chemical detail, but I could at least see that you are actually not working on a new super explosive. Instead, it`s some kind of contraceptive. Nothing to boast around with in catholic Italy.“
„Mmhhmmph! Uuhhmm!“
Daniela`s reaction showed Dorothea that she was quite right. She smiled and whispered:
„I have no interest in telling your little secret. Maybe, you will once make a lot of women happy that they can plan how many children they will have. And if you are using the British Government to pay your researches, well, do it. But now, we have to leave.“
She cut the ankle ties of Daniela who looked at her with a mixture of fear, disbelieve and gratefulness and stretched her cramped legs with a sigh of relief. Sally, who had not followed this conversation, freed Alessandra`s legs and removed her earplugs, too. Then, she and Dorothea left.
It took both women some attempts to get into a standing position, but finally, they stood there, facing each other. Daniela stepped closer to Alessandra, until their breasts touched, and leaned her head against the other`s shoulder.
„Alessandra, dear, I don`t know whether I feel like you yet, but be sure that I know you are the best friend I ever had. And maybe, we can even become more than that, but I will need some time.“
Of course, her tight gag prevented her from vocalizing these thoughts, but she felt Alessandra`s head gently rub against her`s and when she looked up, she could see from her look that the other had understood.
They stood like that for a while. Then, with a sigh, Daniela nodded into the direction of the school with her chin.
Alessandra nodded. It would be more than embarrassing to get there, stark naked and with these ropes tied between their legs, but it was the only chance they had. So, the two women slowly walked the way towards the school building.

„If I will explain all this to my superiors, they will have me hanged, drawn and quartered!“, Sergeant Wise muttered, taking another sip from his flask. What had begun as a simple transfer had turned out to be a major disaster.
When he, accompanied by two men, had entered the director`s office, since he had seen light burning there from the court, he had almost fallen to his backside from the sight he was offered. On one of the sofas, a stark naked redhead was sitting, blushing all over and staring at the men over her gag. On the coffee table, another woman was standing with her back to them. She had blonde curls and was obviously naked, bound and gagged, too.
But this was nothing compared to the table. One woman was lying on the table and her upper body was hanging from it. Her eyes were closed and the sounds she made told the quite experienced Wise that she was in the throes of passion. Bent over the table, a fourth nude woman was bent between this woman`s legs. It looked as if she was licking her pussy, though Wise could see that she was gagged, too. The woman hanging upside down had her legs slung around her and it seemed that this one was just enjoying the climax of ecstasy, too.
For a few minutes, the three soldiers just watched and stared. It was a throaty groan from Helen who had reached the peak exactly the same time as Catherine that pulled them back into reality.
„Jim, get the others in, we have to search the house!“
One hour later, despite the fact that their van had been stolen, Sergeant Wise was at least sure that he now had complete control over the whole building. He had given order to get everyone into the office and so, the room was filling with women dressed only in bathrobes or just covered with a blanket who were in different states of embarrassment and mental stableness.
Emma had recovered enough to give Wise a more or less coherent report of what had happened. Wise had of course tried to phone the police immediately, but the line had occurred to be dead. Jill had sobbed when she had been freed and was currently sitting in a corner, wrapped from her chin to her toes in a blanket and avoiding to meet anyone`s looks.
Helen and the director, as soon as they had realized what show they had offered to their rescuers, had withdrawn to different corners of the room and were sitting in a fetal position, sobbing quietly. The men had draped blankets over their shoulders. Helen had found the strength to thank the young soldier, but Catherine still was too embarrassed for conversation.
Jim had brought Jane, Bessie and Eleanor, all provisionally covered with blankets. He tried to look serious, but he was biting down a grin. Later, he told the others that once he had freed the three girls, they all had run for the bathroom.
A more sensitive man brought Nelly and Molly. The man had found these two whilst they were preparing for their next orgasm, but instead of Jim, he kept his memory to himself.
The confusion of the soldiers led to Madeleine`s and Chloe`s escape, for as they had been freed, the man had left the room to allow them to dress. They had put on some clothes, but then, they had taken the opportunity to climb through the window and run away.
When Wise was just reaching the end of his flask, the door opened and the two men he had ordered to follow the van on the two bikes leaning in the shed appeared. Aided by them, two women entered the room. Both had black, dishevelled curls and were wearing only the jackets of the two men draped over their shoulders.
„Dr. Cortese, I presume?“, Wise asked in an attempt to sound professional facing two more scantily clad pretty women. Now, a giggling that turned into a laugh could be heard from Catherine.
„I think, we are all beyond being formal, aren`t we?“
Though this wasn`t actually funny, it helped to loosen the tension and soon, the men and some of the freed women at least grinned. Then, after a prolonged discussion with Catherine, who had decided to put on a bathrobe, Wise announced the complete audience:
„According to me, the best thing is to pretent this never happened. None of you wants any of the details to be known all around the country. Of course, we will look for your missing colleague, Miss Salome Dirk, but officially, we will consider her as just having left for a bigger city. Dr. Cortese will leave, together with her assistant and the female agents and then, you may get back to your school`s daily business. But if this story makes the round, I will know who couldn`t keep his mouth shut.“
He looked from one of the women to the other until all of them nodded.
***
The same time, Dorothea and Sally were sitting in a train that would get them to Edinburgh. From there, they had decided to get to London.
„And then, I don`t know. Since it`s perhaps not the best idea for me to get back to Germany, I am thinking of France. How about your French, Sally?“
„Fluent, but I only know how to order a beer.“ The girl added a few words in French that made Dorothea burst out laughing.
„You just said that you would like to be banged right on the table!“
Sally blushed, but then, she smiled and said:
„Well, at least this would get me my beer, wouldn`t it?
Both women laughed as they drove into an uncertain, but sure not boring future.
The End
