IInternational Affairs 14

Once they had left the corridor where they had overpowered Linh, the three women held a short powwow. They were almost sure that their targets were on the other side of the corridor Leonie had entered some half an hour ago, but the question was whether they should first free the captives or hunt down Alex.

»We have no idea whether there`s another accomplice down there«, Janine pointed out, »And besides, he`s wounded. I may not have hit him severely, but he definitely limped after I shot him.«

Nancy, who had still Linh over her shoulder, hesitated: Janine was right, it would be better if they went into the corridor and freed the captives. Even if Alex escaped, he was a small fish and also a criminal on the run, without any money. However, there was a reason she hadn`t told Janine why she didn`t want Alex to be around whilst they all were somewhere else.

Clearly disobeying orders, Nancy had brought Katja with her. Currently, the girl was still where she had left her, bound and gagged inside her car. However, there was a small chance Alex discovered her, maybe just by coincidence. And that was a risk she definitely didn`t want to take.

»Right! But he may call his accomplices and then, we would be trapped! If at least one of us is out there, she can warn the others!«

This was a reasonable argument. However, Janine insisted that she would be the one who would try to hunt down Alex. It was only partially because she loved such things; she also was the better shooter, whilst Nancy was better in hand-to-hand combat. Reluctantly, Nancy agreed upon accompanying Ulinka on the rescue mission. Janine checked her gun and said:

»Leave the doors open, so we can keep contact via our cell phones!«

Instinctively, Nancy reached for her back pocket and cursed:

»Fuck! I left it in the car! I-I will get it and-«

Janine interrupted her.

»No! We shall not lose more time than necessary! You will take my phone and I will take yours from your car! Just give me the keys – or are they still in the ignition lock?«

Nancy scoffed. After all, she hadn`t forgotten her cell phone from amnesia. Immediately after arriving, she had texted Janine who had told her about her whereabouts inside the building. So, it hadn`t been a lucky coincidence they had caught Linh; in fact, Janine and Ulinka had allowed the Asian to follow them whilst Nancy was approaching in the dark. However, between texting to Janine and leaving the car, Nancy had quickly assured Katja that she was in no danger and should just wait for her and therefore, she had forgotten her phone.

She handed the keys to her colleague and, turning away from Ulinka, she whispered:

»Jeannie, there is something on the back seat – I mean, I could not have left her in the hut, could I?«

Janine stared at her, but said nothing as she took the key. Then, she just murmured:

»Just go and free the captives!«

Nancy avoided her view. She knew that she had endangered the part of their plan that involved using Katja as a bait, but the idea of leaving the blonde behind had just been unbearable. She patted Linh`s naked butt and then pulled the gun from her belt. To Ulinka, she said:

»Let`s go!«

***

Janine cursed silently as she sneaked towards where Nancy had parked the car. At least, the place was hidden behind some garbage containers and therefore, it was unlikely that any passerby had seen the car. She repeatedly looked around for Alex, almost hoping he would attack and give her a reason to shoot him. But around her, everything was silent.

As she reached the car, Janine was surprised that there was nothing on the back seats. She opened the door and realized two things at the same time: Nancy had forgotten to lock the car, which she did repeatedly – and there was no cell phone lying around. No cell phone and no sign of Katja.

***

As they approached the closed door, Ulinka, who had taken the keys, was trying which would fit when Nancy felt the slight vibration of Janine`s cell phone.

»Wow, she`s quick!«, Nancy thought and put the gun into her belt to have a look at the message, since she needed one hand to keep Linh, who was surprisingly quiet, on her shoulder.

It was a picture and it showed to persons – Katja, who was still gagged and who was staring into the camera with eyes like saucers and Alex, who was close to her, grinning wolfishly and pointing at Katja`s chin with his gun. Nancy froze to her tracks and let Linh slide from her shoulder without even noticing it.

Now, a short text message followed:

»Mind exchanging Linh for her?«

Nancy felt as if an iron hand was squeezing her heart. In her attempt to protect Katja, she had firmly delivered her to her abductors. In addition, Alex also knew that they had Linh; perhaps, presumably, he also knew that she and Janine had been behind the attack on the garage. However, he sure didn`t know about her feelings towards Katja.

»Why should I?«, she texted back, both to pretend she didn`t care too  much about Katja and to buy a little time. After all, Janine was still out there and they still had to free the captives. Meanwhile, Ulinka had found the right key and opened the door. It screeched when she slowly pushed it open.

»Wow!«

Ulinka`s astonishment was answered by a cacophony of moans and grunts. For a terrible moment, Ulinka thought that a woman with a severed head was dangling from a ceiling hook, but then, she saw that her head was forced backwards. Opposite to the woman that was kneeling with her ankles tied to her thighs was another one, sitting in a chair and now turning her head towards the door. Beside her disheveled curls and her widened eyes, Ulinka could only see her arms tied behind the backrest and her flailing lower legs.

A few yards away, she could see the woman she still only knew as »Curly«, crouching over another woman that seemed to lie on her back in some rigid hogtie. Her face was buried between Curly`s legs and from the red hair, Ulinka guessed it was Tina. All four women were bound and gagged and stark naked.

»Oh my God, where shall I begin?«

Ulinka looked around for some scissors or a knife. Behind her, Nancy saw she had received another message:

»Better discuss that with your colleague!«

As on keyword, Nancy could hear approaching steps from the corridor.

***

»Now, all we can do is wait, Fräulein!«

A fearful whimper was all Alex got from Katja who was lying next to him, still hogtied and gagged and still inside the bag where Nancy had put her, though the zipper now was open.

Alex had limped out of the building once the three women had left with Linh and seen the car standing not far away. He hadn`t had much hope that the keys would be still inside, and indeed, they hadn`t; but he had found two other things: a cell phone lying on the passenger`s seat – and a large bag on the backseats. A bag that was moving slightly and when Alex found the door unlocked and opened it, he could also hear a faint moaning.

A quick look had confirmed his suspicion: the girl inside the bag was Katja Heller, their initial kidnapping victim. She was bound and gagged and from what he could see, she was still naked. Alex suddenly grinned:

»Maybe, this is the beginning of a very convenient development!«

He had looked around and seen that someone was leaving the building. So, he had reacted quickly: he had taken the cell phone and pulled the bag from the car, pushing it under the vehicle. He then had placed himself beside it and put his gun to Katja`s chin.

»One sound and you`ll regret it!«

Katja had whimpered and Alex had pushed the gun harder against the soft flesh below her chin. The girl had breathed heavily, but when Janine had approached, she had not dared to alert her and remained silent. After less than a minute, the woman had left and Alex had relaxed a bit. Quickly, he had taken a photo of Katja and her and then followed Janine whilst texting with Nancy. When he had seen Janine enter the corridor that led towards their captives, he had returned for Katja to wait for the outcome of the negotiations.

He pulled the bag from under the car and positioned himself so he could watch the building`s exit. With his left, he reached inside the bag. Katja moaned and squirmed, but Alex found her breast and started kneading it, as if it was a stress ball. Then, his gun ready beside it, he stared at the display of the cell phone.

***

»Nancy, you have – what the hell is going on?«

At the end of the corridor, Janine had almost stumbled over Linh who was leaning against a wall. Her wrists and ankles still tied with zip ties and still with tape over her mouth. Janine had taken great pleasure in once again cramming a pair of panties into the Asian`s mouth, though this time, it had been her own. Beside her, Nancy was leaning in the open door, staring at her cell phone. Now, she looked up and showed the display to Janine.

»He has got Katja!«

Behind Nancy and partially hidden by her, Janine could now see the cellar room with the four naked, bound and gagged women in it. An obviously slightly overwhelmed Ulinka was just busy peeling the tape from the mouth of Leonie who seemed upset that her rescuer couldn`t work quicker.

Janine fought back the flashbacks the view of the trussed up women caused in her mind and concentrated on what Nancy had said.

»He offers an exchange«, the tall blonde whispered, pointing at Linh. Still, the naked Asian remained quiet, but her eyes showed she was all interest. Janine answered:

»Tell him that we are not negotiating with criminals! And then, call for our colleagues! They will hunt him down before dawn!«

Nancy stared at her.

»A-and Katja?«

Janine lowered her head and she seemed sad, but determined when she answered:

»He will sure give up and not hurt her! He has no chance of escaping and most likely will not add murder to his criminal record!«

»Most likely?«, Nancy uttered so loud that Ulinka turned her head towards her. She had been unwrapping the sticky tape from Leonie`s mouth and now carefully tried to remove the last layer carefully. Now, she stared at Nancy and Janine who seemed to be quarreling about something.

»Just text him what I told you! This is an order!«

»No!«

»For fuck`s sake, pull yourself together, Nancy! Or I will tell him myself!«

Janine reached for the cell phone, but Nancy pushed her back, so she landed on her backside, dropping her gun. Before she could grab it, Nancy had pulled her own and was aiming at her.

»Nancy, are you nuts? This is a mission! Our mission!«

»He has got Katja!«, Nancy replied, her eyes flickering. She still held the gun pointed at Janine. Now, Ulinka spoke.

»Whatever it is, calm down! Just help me free these women!«

The four damsels mmphed, trying to support Ulinka`s suggestion. However, neither taking an eye from Janine nor lowering her gun, Nancy now brought the cell phone to her ear and phoned Alex. He let her wait for three rings before he said:

»Now, have you thought about my offer?«

Before she could answer, several things happened very quickly. Janine, who carefully had pulled her heel from her shoe, suddenly kicked it towards Nancy. Reflexively, the tall woman fired, but the shoe had distracted her and besides, Janine had rolled to the side. The shot echoed through the room, but luckily, the ricocheting bullet hit no one.

Now, Janine attacked Nancy, but with only one of her pumps, she staggered slightly and only managed to grab her left arm. However, before Nancy could knock her with the gun or even fire another shot, Ulinka who had broken out of her torpor threw herself upon the tall woman, too.

Cordelia could not believe her eyes. Right in front of her, their rescuers were engaging in a cat fight instead of freeing them from their bonds! She screamed through her gag and thrashed in her bonds, ignoring both Tina`s face rubbing over her pubic mound and the painful pulls on their combined crotch ropes. But still, the fight went on. Nancy had dropped the gun, but she was tall and sportive and a trained fighter and so, even against two enemies, the fight was even.

Then, Cordelia witnessed another person entering the room. It was Linh who was naked, bound and gagged, but who now had her hands in front of her. She crawled closer and closer to the dropped gun.

»MMhhrrrrrrmmmmm! Uuuuhhmmmmmm! Mmhhmmmmmm!«

Desperately, Cordelia tried to warn the three fighting women, but they were still engaged in their wrestling and so, she had to helplessly witness as Linh pulled the tape from her mouth. Then, whilst working something black from her oral cavity, she grabbed the gun and aimed at the three policewomen.

BOOM!

Another shot echoed through the room. Linh had fired over the heads of the fighters who now stopped and looked at her, still entangled into each other. Linh, who had just spat out a black pair of panties, licked her lips and croaked:

»Freeze, bitches!«

Her voice sounded hoarse and she was yelling; obviously, her eardrums still hurt from the shot like that of the others. Slowly, the three women came to their feet. They hadn`t been fighting for long, but Ulinka had lost the scarf that had covered her hips and pubic area and now was standing there in just a suit jacket that had lost its buttons. Beside her, Janine`s blouse had been ripped from her skirt and she had lost her other shoe, too. Nancy looked strained and slightly disheveled, but at least, her functional clothing still was in place.

Though she had the gun, Linh wasn`t in a very superior position. She was still tied hand and foot and could not even risk getting to her feet without the others trying an attack. However, now, Alex entered the room. It took him a few seconds to evaluate the situation and then, he grinned.

»So, you already have everything under control, Cherry Blossom?«

Despite his mockery, he also held a gun pointed at the three women. Nancy blurted:

»Where`s Katja?«

»Well and alive, I hope! I left her to see why you have started a shootout in here! Anyway, I am delighted that no one got hurt!«

He now ordered Ulinka to get a pocket knife from the table and to cut Linh`s ties. The Asian did not bother rubbing her wrists or ankles. Instead, she came to her feet and also watched closely if anyone made a false move. Then, she ordered Ulinka to shut the iron door.

»Now, let`s just hope that the shot`s haven`t alerted anyone. I don`t think so, but anyway, we should take care of our new guests first. Though we already know one of them – welcome back, Sweet Cheeks!«

Reflexively, Ulinka pulled the jacket close and blushed slightly. Linh, once again mastering the situation, ordered:

»Now, Sweet Cheeks, since you have started a bit of a mess, you may also get it in order again! Please, reapply the tape over Titty`s mouth!«

It took Ulinka a few seconds to understand that »Titty« was Leonie whom she had almost freed from her gag previously. She reluctantly went for the table where several rolls of duct tape were lying, but Linh ordered:

»Remove the jacket before, Sweet Cheeks!«

With a sigh, Ulinka obeyed. When she then approached Leonie, she almost felt her captors` eyes on the dimples above her buttocks.

Only now, she noticed the details of Leonie`s bondage: her wrists were cuffed behind the backrest of the chair and secured to a bar whilst her thighs were taped to the chair`s armrests, forcing her to sit with splayed legs. Leonie was sporting a crotch rope that was connected to that of the other girl, the one whose head was pulled backwards in a way Ulinka still could not see her head, despite the woman was squirming in her bonds.

»Sorry, Leonie!«, she whispered before wrapping ten rounds of tape tightly over Leonie`s mouth. The young policewoman just stared at her with a mixture of panic and disbelief.

»Good! Now, you may take care of your colleagues, too!«

Both Linh and Alex now noticed a change in the two women they didn`t know yet. Whilst the tall one seemed quiet, though obviously waiting for a chance to attack, the other one seemed nervous. There was sweat on her forehead and cleavage and she was trying to oppress heavy breathing.

»Are you feeling overdressed or is your bra too tight? We will see for both of these issues right now! Sweet Cheeks will even help you in getting more comfortable!«

Now, Janine`s eyes widened and she was balling her fists. Linh smiled and raised an eyebrow.

»What are you afraid of? Is there anything you are hiding under your clothes? Well, we will see to that soon!«

The way Linh looked at her made Janine shiver, though for the moment, she just ordered Ulinka to cuff her hands in front of her body. She cursed Nancy for having caused all that trouble and also herself, for she could not hide her fears that were caused by her memories of how she had been tied up and gagged, naked and helpless – and the very real threat of it happening again!

Janine had to lean against a wall and raise her cuffed hands above her head where Ulinka had to secure them to an eyelet with a little padlock. Then, she had to seal her lips with a piece of tape before Linh said:

»We will see for her secret soon. But now, for our tall guest here!«

»According to what I could overhear at the phone, she`s more than fond of our Fräulein!«, Alex added. Linh nodded.

»So, I think we can make things a bit easier for us, Alex! Please, get outside and look after the Fräulein! Take the phone and leave the door open so we will have a steady connection. Once you hear that any of our guests tries something, you kill her!«

Alex nodded and ostentatiously checked the magazine of his gun. Before he left, he mockingly bowed towards Nancy.

»I hope you don`t mind me massaging her boobs a little more, just to pass the time!«

Nancy oppressed an angry answer. Linh now stepped close to Janine and pushed the gun into the waistband of her skirt. Janine moaned and Linh just stepped one step aside, giggling and raising the cell phone.

»I won`t need the gun now. This is a much better weapon!«

Nancy gritted her teeth. However, Linh was right. Even if she darted forward and managed to knock out Linh before she could utter a sound, Alex would notice it and maybe kill Katja. And that, she definitely would not risk!

»Now, would you mind restraining Sweet Cheeks for me? You will find everything you need on the table or in the box beside it!«

Ulinka looked at the open door. She was sure that she could reach it before Linh could get the gun, but now, Nancy grabbed her arm.

»They have Katja!«, she insisted and Ulinka, who actually got paid for protecting Katja, nodded and offered no resistance as Nancy led her over to the table. Under Linh`s orders, she taped her wrists and secured the tie with a cable binder. Then, she had to do the same to Ulinka`s elbows, making them meet and forcing the girl to ache and to thrust out her boobs. Ulinka felt that Nancy had left no slack.

Linh ordered her to also tape Ulinka`s fingers. Then, she pondered:

»Now, for a gag – are you physically strong, tall girl?«

Nancy reluctantly nodded, not knowing what her strength had to do with gagging Ulinka. Linh smiled and added:

»To be precisely – are you strong enough to tear your panties? Well, there`s only one way to find out!«

She made an inviting gesture with her hand and reluctantly, Nancy reached into her leggings, grabbing the waistband of her panties. Then, after another look at Linh, she pulled. Nancy was quite strong, but so seemed the seams of her panties and she quickly realized that the Lycra would be pulled deep into her cleft and vulva before the garment would tear. Linh giggled and asked:

»Shall I put on the sound of the phone? Maybe, you will show a little more effort if you hear the Fräulein squeal?«

Nancy stared daggers at the Asian. Then, she took a few deep breaths before she once again pulled. She groaned when the fabric was cutting into her soft flesh, but she persisted and finally, the seams tore and she could yank the panties from her leggings. Nancy panted and could not resist massaging her middle for a few seconds.

»Now, ball them up and stuff them into Sweet Cheek`s mouth! If she`s reluctant, just tickle her!«

Apologetically, Nancy looked at Ulinka who slightly blushed, but, after a few seconds of hesitating, gulped and opened her mouth. Nancy stuffed the torn fabric behind her teeth and at the same moment when Ulinka wrinkled her nose, Nancy also noticed the slight fragrance. She had worn these panties only for some one or two hours – but during this time, she had also caressed the sweet Katja a bit and obviously, her arousal had left traces. Now, it was Nancy`s turn to blush.

The panties were also quite substantial and it took Nancy quite some effort to wedge the whole mass of cloth into Ulinka`s mouth. The blonde stood there, panting through her nose, when Linh made her complete the gag with ten rounds of tape. Then, she said:

»There`s a broomstick in the corner. Take one and tie her ankles to the ends!«

Nancy obeyed, using two pieces of rope she cut from a large roll. Then, she did as she was told. The stick was long enough that Ulinka had to stand with her feet more than a yard apart from each other. Linh now approached and checked Nancy´s work. The tall woman had to resist the urge to slam her fist into her face, but she managed to remain silent. Linh nodded approvingly.

»Good! It seems that your fear for the Fräulein was quite stimulating! Or are you just kinky?«

»Fuck off!«, Nancy hissed. Linh laughed and said:

»I will take care of your use of language soon! Now, get Sweet Cheeks over to Titty`s chair!«

The stick tied to her ankles meant that Ulinka could only stagger and Nancy grabbed one of her arms to support her, but Linh intervened:

»Step behind her, put your hands on her boobs and pull her over!«

Ulinka mmphed and Nancy again cursed, but when Linh raised the cell phone, she did as she was told. She cupped Ulinka`s breasts from behind and pulled her over towards Leonie`s chair. The auburn-haired policewoman looked anxiously at them.

»Do they feel better than the Fräulein`s?«, Linh asked when Nancy withdrew her hands from Ulinka`s boobs. Nancy answered with an angry glance. Linh now strolled to the table and cut another piece of rope, some two yards in length.

»Just one moment!«

Linh now went for her bag and put on a fresh pair of panties, together with a T-shirt and leggings. She even took the time to put a belt around her waist, making the T-shirt look like a tunic. Then, whilst slipping into a pair of sandals, she explained:

»I don`t want to rob you girls the sight of my body and Alex has also already seen more than he has earned. Well, since he saved me, he maybe has earned it! But being in the nude sometimes makes one feel so helpless, doesn`t it?«

She blinked towards Janine who had watched the whole ceremony wriggling her cuffed wrists and trying to remain calm.

»Soon, you will know!«

Another advantage of being dressed was that Linh now could put the cell phone into her belt, allowing her to have both her hands free. She took the rope and approached Ulinka and Leonie. Nancy still stood beside them and let her eyes wander over the other restrained and naked girls. Their positions not only seemed very uncomfortable, but in addition, they all had a – sexual component. Both the kneeling woman with her head bent backwards and the brown-haired crouching over her unwilling companion`s face were sporting nipple clamps and all four except Ulinka had a rope between the legs. Nancy gulped at the idea of having a rope tied there, but a perverted part of her also found it a little intriguing.

»Have you ever heard of unstable balance?«, Linh interrupted her thoughts. Before Nancy could answer, she tied the rope around Leonie`s neck and took the dangling ends. Addressing Nancy, she said:

»Please, put your hands on Titty`s boobs and help her to lean back. I will also help, but she might prefer your assistance!«

She pulled on the rope so it tightened around Leonie`s throat, causing her to mew and to helplessly move her lower legs. Nancy groaned and for the second time in five minutes, she touched another woman`s breasts. For the fraction of a second, the memory of the third time she had done so recently haunted her: when she had caressed Katja. The thought of the blonde made her obey Linh`s orders, however kinky or cruel they would be.

Leaning backwards was not only a minor inconvenience, for it brought even more tension to the crotch rope of both Leonie and Sonja. So, both Leonie`s high-pitched mews and Sonja`s groans mixed as Nancy made Leonie lean back until the chair only stood on its rear legs in a 45 degree angle.

»Just keep her like that until I say something else!«, Linh ordered and stepped in front of Ulinka. She made her stagger backwards a little, until her buttocks were just above Leonie`s forehead. Then, she reached between Ulinka`s legs, grabbed Leonie`s scalp and with one swift move, she pushed Ulinka back a little more and pulled Leonie`s head between the other`s splayed thighs.

»Now, let her go!«

Following the laws of physics, when Nancy withdrew, Leonie tilted forward and pushed her face into Ulinka`s crotch. Linh had stepped on the stick between Ulinka`s ankles to prevent her from falling and still held Leonie`s hair, preventing her withdrawing her head.

»Mmhrrrrmmmmm! Uuuhmmmmmm!«, the girl protested, causing Linh to giggle.

»Presenting Titty, the human vibrator!«

Linh took the dangling ends of the rope around Leonie`s neck and tied them off to the tops of Ulinka`s thighs. Then, she brushed over the blonde`s sides, causing Ulinka to twitch and squirm, rubbing her naked middle over Leonie`s face in the progress. Linh now purred:

»I will now step from the stick. You better keep standing, Sweet Cheeks, or you will get tickled until you choke!«

Linh withdrew and Ulinka forced herself to endure the additional pressure of the head between her legs without falling over. Linh now turned towards Nancy:

»You are a tall, strong woman! Do you know what I like about such women?«

Nancy looked at her motionless and Linh gave the answer herself:

»I like the fact that once such strong, tall women have been rendered helpless and have accepted that they are indeed helpless, they are much easier to handle than the weak, timid ones! But as they always say: show, don`t tell! Now, strip!«

Nancy had known it would come to this and so, she quickly and unceremoniously removed her shoes, socks and sweater. When she pulled her tank top over her head, her boobs rebounded, but did not sag. Linh licked her lips.

»So big and firm! What are you, a 36D?«

»Fuck you!«, Nancy hissed, unable not to blush. Linh giggled.

»I consider this a yes! Well, remove your leggings and then, we will look for a nice gag for you!«
