Sisters 9

»Once my colleague has gotten his phone call, we can do our next step. But until then, all we can do is wait!«

Caine sat in Michiko`s easy chair, his legs crossed and a glass of water In his left. His eyes, however, showed the alertness of a trained soldier and his gun still pointed on the three girls lined up opposite to him.

He had ordered them to kneel on the floor, their hands folded behind their heads. The position not only ensured that they could not try any surprise attacks before he could fire his gun, it was also humiliating: all three wore light summer dresses that had slid up their thighs, showing off a lot of their legs. And though still everything was covered, Isabelle was very aware of how the position of her arms emphasized her ample breasts.

Finally, Marc got a phone call and left the room to talk to Tao. The Asian said:

»I have talked to the brunette and it seems she told me everything she and her friend know. So, I have no need for the other. Just tell her that I have her friend, so she won`t go to the cops.«

Marc cleared his throat.

»My- my partner. He wants some – reward.«

»Well, tell him he will get what he deserves when the job is done!«, Tao snapped. »But for now, just do whatever it takes to get a head start and leave!«

She hung up and Marc stepped back to Caine and the captives. He was a bit nervous when he repeated Tao`s words towards the man in Maltese, having seen how he had looked at the three pretty girls. However, Caine just said:

»All right! Your Mistress`s wish is my order!«

He rose from the chair and said:

»Now, it is time to say Goodbye!«

He raised his gun and waited until Samantha let out a fluttering breath before he continued:

»Not in the meaning of terminal Goodbye – that is, if you do as I say! Then, you«, he pointed at Akiko, »may celebrate a happy reunion with your sister and the others may work on their sisterly relationship. Now, up to your feet, but leave your hands behind your heads.«

The three girls obeyed and Caine grinned wolfishly.

»Now, to make things clear: my partner`s boss said he has no need for the two gingers and I am also sure that the plan of my other partner will also work out with the remaining sister. So, please, don`t you think that we need any of you alive at all costs!«

He let that sink in for a few seconds before he gave his next order:

»Take off your shoes!«

Since all three were only wearing sandals, this was easily done and none of them saw a point in being defiant, though they all knew it was just the beginning.

»Now, the dresses!«

This time, Akiko was a bit reluctant, but when Caine aimed at Samantha, she also took off her dress and the others could see why she had hesitated: at the beach, still a bit puzzled about Cordelia´s abduction, she had only changed from her bikini bottom to a black thong with Japanese characters on it and though she had deliberately gone topless at the beach, she now had to fight down the urge to cover her breasts with her hands and brushed her long hair over them instead. Caine grinned.

»Your hair might get messy during our trip. But I am sure your friend will help you!«

He ordered Samantha, now just dressed in a white demi-cup bra and a white thong with black polka dots on it, to get a brush from the bathroom. Then, Akiko had to kneel down and Samantha was told to brush her hair and then to braid it. Akiko stared angrily at Caine as this took the last cover from her breasts. The man, however, turned his attention towards Isabelle. She was wearing a white bra with a thin lace trimming, but looking more modest than that of her sister. Together with it, she had put on a pair of pale pink cotton panties.

»Now, since your sister`s occupied, you may tell us something about you and her. No complete CV, just the essentials.«

Isabelle took a deep breath and said:

»I am Police Capitaine Isabelle Marceau!«

She tried to look as cool and determined as her scantily clad state allowed her, but Caine just interrupted her:

»I said ›essentials‹! That means first name, age – and bra size!«

Now, Isabelle saw the glistering in the man`s eyes and understood two things: that he had not been joking when he had threatened to kill them if they disobeyed his orders – and that he was clearly enjoying to humiliate them, even if it cost him precious time.

»Isabelle, 22 – 32C«, she breathed. Caine made her repeat the information in a loud and clear voice and then, he told her to introduce her sister the same way.

»Samantha, sev- 18, 32C!«

She had nearly forgotten about Samantha having turned 18 the day before and she shuddered. What a way of becoming an adult!

»Now, her friend, too!«

»Akiko, 18, eh«, Isabelle hesitated, »32B?«

»You don`t seem to be sure, Isabelle, 22, 32C!«, Caine mocked. Akiko, who had found some of her inner strength back, snapped:

»I am a 32B!«

Caine frowned.

»Let`s just hope that where you are going, they will be tolerant about you speaking without being asked! Anyway, since Akiko has forgotten to put on her bra, you can`t look at the label and I am also sure that a Police Captain like you will insist on evidence. Now, take off your sister`s bra!«

Isabelle gulped and looked at Samantha who had finished brushing Akiko`s hair and had begun to braid it into one tight braid. Samantha`s cheeks reddened, but she whispered:

»I-it`s okay, Coeur de Soeur!«

When she stepped behind Samantha, Isabelle gently brushed over her sister`s shoulders before she unclasped the bra. Suddenly, she remembered how Mike had handled straining situations by joking and she whispered:

»Just remember the beach of Nice!«

Samantha let out a snort that could have either been surprise, anger or amusement, but when Isabelle took off her bra and their eyes met, she saw a grateful glance in them and she knew that the helpless joke had ensured the girl that things would not become too bad.

»If only I were convinced of it, too!«

She wanted to drop the bra, but Caine ordered her to hold the cups to Akiko`s breasts and to say if she still thought she was a 32B. At the very moment she did as she was told, Samantha tugged on Akiko`s hair and she involuntarily arched back a bit, thrusting out her chest.

»He, don`t cheat!«, Isabelle whispered. Akiko stared at her with disbelieve, but then, her lips curled and she had to oppress a giggle.

»I should become more threatening if you are having so much fun, Ladies!«, Caine said. »Now, what do you say, Isabelle?«

»She`s a 32B, definitely!«

Meanwhile, Samantha had finished braiding Akiko`s hair and secured the braid with a hair tie. Then, the three girls had to stand side by side again. Though it cost them quite some self-control, neither Akiko nor Samantha made an attempt to hide their boobs. Caine looked at Isabelle.

»Do you love your sister? I mean, do you want her to be happy?«

»Yes!«, Isabelle answered with so much emphasis that Samantha could not oppress a sigh, overwhelmed by the sisterly love that simple word expressed. Caine nodded.

»So, you sure don`t want her to feel underdressed in your company, do you?«

Isabelle looked at the man with sheer contempt. Then, without waiting for his order, she unclasped her bra, took it off and threw it to his feet. Caine smiled sardonically and said:

»Now, before we get Akiko ready for transport – how about a little game? It`s called ›Truth or Dare – panty edition‹!«

The three girls exchanged nervous glances and Marc, who had watched the humiliation of the captives motionless so far, chuckled. Caine explained:

»It`s quite easy: Each of you has to guess how another of you has groomed her pubic hair – if she grooms it at all. In addition, she has to say why she guesses so. Whoever guesses right may keep her panties!«

The barrel of his gun wandered between the three girls as he recited »Eeny meeny, miny, moe«, landing at Akiko:

»All right, tell me your suggestions about – Isabelle!«

Akiko gulped. Caine had guessed right that she had already seen Samantha in the nude and therefore knew how she looked down there. However, after a few seconds, she answered:

»She`s untrimmed.«

Caine scratched his chin and looked at Isabelle who stood motionless.

»And why do you think so, Akiko?«

»Be-because she – she is so – modest!«

Now, Akiko blushed slightly and looked apologetically at Isabelle. Caine still scratched his chin and then, he said:

»Now, we of course need proof of what you said. There are two ways of giving us the evidence we need. The first is, of course, that Isabelle shows us.«

Now, it was Isabelle`s turn to blush. It wasn`t the first time she was forced to strip in front of criminals, but that didn`t make it any better. However, she forced herself to remain still and quiet to hear Caine`s alternative.

»The second way is that I check myself – with my hand!«

Isabelle now felt as if she would stagger. She definitely wanted to keep her last bit of clothing, but even more, she didn`t want this thug to touch her most intimate parts! So, she gritted her teeth and lowered her head as she slowly hooked her thumbs into the waistband of her panties and lowered them just enough to show off her thatch of reddish pubic hair. She felt as if her cheeks were on flames when the two men watched her middle for an entire minute before Caine said:

»Thank you, Isabelle! Now, Akiko has won her panties – but do you know how she looks underneath – Isabelle!«

Isabelle, who had just pulled up her panties again, looked up. Again, the man had guessed right: she had repeatedly seen Samantha in the nude, but never the Japanese. She thought:

»Samantha has what they call a ›landing strip‹ – and these two share almost all of their likes!«

She looked at Akiko and forced herself to say:

»She has a small strip of hair left – because my sister looks the same!«

»You are trying to short-cut the game!«, Caine laughed. »But now, girls, you heard her! So, you both have to give evidence!«

He and Marc watched closely as both Akiko and Samantha lowered their thongs, blushing all over and avoiding looking at anything but the floor. In both cases, Isabelle had been right.

When they had pulled up their panties again, Caine said something in Maltese to Marc who disappeared, only to reappear with Michiko`s hard-sided suitcase, a large zipper bag and two small cloth bags. He placed everything in front of the girls and opened the bag, taking out a coiled rope. Again, Caine said something in Maltese and he cut several lengths from it. Meanwhile, Caine explained to the captives:

»We will now get you ready for transport, Akiko. I hope you don`t mind travelling business class.«

»As long as I don`t have to sit beside you!«, Akiko snapped back. Caine smiled, but the look in his eyes told the girls that the Japanese would regret her words. And indeed, he said something to Marc who had just cut six lengths of rope. The other man cut a seventh piece of rope and then also two lengths from a roll of twine.

Marc now had to take the job of guarding the Marceau sisters as Caine stepped behind Akiko and tied her wrists palm to palm. Then, he also tied her elbows and heard how the girl panted, trying to oppress a groan as her joints met.

The other four lengths were used to secure her arms to her upper body, below her thrust out boobs and at her waist, and to tie her legs above the knees and at her ankles. Then, he used the two pieces of twine to tie Akiko`s big toes and also her thumbs. He then reached for the remaining rope, but decided against it and took one of the cloth bags.

»Now, you would wish that your sister would wear thongs, too, wouldn`t you?«

He took a pair of white fullback panties from the bag, brought them to his nose and took a deep breath before he approached Akiko who started to squirm and shake her head no. But the bound damsel stood no chance as he grabbed her head and painfully pulled on it, forcing her to arch her head back. Then, he stuffed the panties into her mouth, obviously enjoying her moaning and retching.

»Perhaps, you would also wish your mouth was as big literally as it is metaphorically!«

»Hhrrrmmmm! Mph!«

He stuffed the panties as deep into her mouth as he could, causing the girl to retch and chortle. He then secured the gag with one of Michiko`s nylon stockings he tied tightly between Akiko`s lips before pulling the other one over her head. Then, he completed her gagging by wrapping some 20 rounds of duct tape over her mouth and around her head, followed by another ten to cover her eyes. Now, Akiko stood there, slightly staggering and her breasts heaving from her panting through her nose.

Caine now took the last rope, doubled it and slung it around Akiko`s waist, threading the ends through the noose and pulling it tight, forming a tight rope belt. He brought the ends to her front and then pushed them between her thighs, much to Akiko`s dislike and needing some time since her legs were tied tightly. When he then tugged the ends through the waist rope behind her back and pulled, the double strands between the girl`s legs tightened and Akiko reared up as her pubic mound, barely protected by her tiny thong, was bisected in two.

Caine held the ends in one hand and with the other, he pushed on Akiko`s shoulder, forcing the girl to sit down, though this cause her to put more and more of her weight on the ropes between her legs. When she was sitting, he made Akiko bend her legs and used the remaining rope to tie her into a tight ball. Then, he opened the lid of the suitcase and placed her inside. Before he closed it, he took her long braid and touched the tassel on the end with is index finger.

»I almost forget to test your gag – and you might appreciate I found a way that doesn`t hurt!«

He took the braid and brushed over Akiko`s side. The girl twitched and cringed the little her tight bondage allowed and she gasped through her gag. For some time, the man mercilessly tickled her before he seemed satisfied that her helpless moans and screams would not escape the suitcase once it was closed. Satisfied, he dropped her braid and then closed the lid.

»Now, for you who have to stay here for a while. It will be some hours before someone will find you – if ever! So, does anyone need to go to the bathroom? Marc won`t mind accompanying you!«

None of the girls reacted and so, Caine directed them towards one of Michiko`s few extravagancies in furniture: a hanging chair that looked like a bamboo cage formed like a giant egg, with a big opening at the front and two smaller ones at the sides. The chair hung from a contraption formed like a gallows. It was also upholstered by a large cushion, but Caine told Isabelle to remove it and to sit inside whilst he prepared several lengths of rope. Then, the girl had to sit inside.

The side openings also were the chair`s armrests and he thoroughly tied her arms to it at wrists and elbows. Then, he forced her to get her legs through the openings, too, so Isabelle had to sit with her legs spread wide. He tied her knees to the armrests and then bent over Isabelle, placing his hands on her breasts.

»You won`t beg for mercy, Isabelle?«

»Why, do you intend to show it?«

Caine smiled and squeezed her boobs one time before he withdrew. Then, he took another rope, slung it around one of the horizontal bars of the backrest before bringing it over her shoulders. He crossed it between her breasts and then threaded the ends under her armpits and tied them off behind her back and to the backrest bars to secure her upper body to the chair. Then, he doubled another rope and slung it around her waist, producing a tight belt as he pulled the ends tight. Caine asked:

»You know where this is going, Isabelle?«

Forcing herself to answer his view, the girl nodded slightly.

»Well then, tell me – and I might spare your sister the same experience!«

»B-between my l-legs«, Isabelle replied, managing to remain calm, but with her voice slightly trembling and sounding hoarse. Caine nodded and pushed the rope ends between her legs and under her before stepping behind the chair and pulling the slack out. He pulled until Isabelle could no longer hold back a groan and then tied the ends off.

Isabelle tried to cope with the tight rope between her legs, scraping together all remnants of inner strength and self-control. If she panicked, Samantha would lose the little mental support her elder sister could give her. So, she just panted and gulped as the man produced another pair of Michiko`s used panties. Obviously not satisfied about her lack of fear and resistance, he reached for the other bag and took a bright red thong from it, obviously one of Akiko`s. draping it around the balled up white panties, he then worked the sizeable wadding into Isabelle`s mouth.

It was the second time in her life Isabelle was gagged with another woman`s used underwear. It wasn`t an experience she had missed, but still, she managed to remain calm, except for some retching as the cloth touched the back of her throat.

»She seems to be used to taking huge things into her mouth!«, Caine said towards Mike and Isabelle could not help blushing from embarrassment.

The man pushed the gag as deep as he could get it into her oral cavity and then tied another stocking between her lips before securing her gag with tight layers of tape, at least 20. Unlike Akiko, she was spared the stocking hood and blindfold.

Caine brushed over Isabelle`s sides, but she was only slightly ticklish and just cringed a little. So, he squeezed her nipples instead.

»Hhhrrrmmmmm!«

»Oh, come on, you can do better than that!«

He pulled on her crotch rope and again, Isabelle screamed through her gag. Caine let her go, smiling at the topless girl that panted heavily and slightly flailed her lower legs inside the dangling chair.

Helplessly, Isabelle then had to watch as the two men tied up her sister. Samantha`s arms were tied at her wrists and elbows and even Isabelle had to admit that the effect was quite impressive. More ropes secured her upper body to her arms and they also tied her legs at knees and ankles. Isabelle noticed that they indeed spared Samantha the crotch rope, but they had left long ends dangling from both her knee and ankle ties.

After they had tied her thumbs and big toes, they made Samantha kneel and sit on her heels before they tied her ankle tie to her bound wrists. Then, Caine reached for the bag that contained Akiko`s used panties.

»Now, Samantha, one last game: you have seen that we managed to get one pair of panties into Akiko`s mouth and one pair and an additional thong into your sister`s. So, you may guess about how many thongs you can take. But choose wisely: if you are giving a number that is too small, you will get two more for every deviation from the correct number – and we will also adorn your and your sister`s nipples with clothespins.«

Samantha`s eyes widened and she wanted to say something, but Caine just grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. The girl ached and when he demanded an answer, she desperately looked at the black thong in his left hand. How big were they, in comparison to a pair of panties? She had difficulties in concentrating at all, overwhelmed by the events of the last two hours.

»F-f-four!«, she croaked.

Caine slowly, but thoroughly worked the black thong into her mouth and Samantha did him the favor of retching and moaning. The panties tasted vile and the humiliation made her blush. However, it was just the beginning of her ordeal. A pink and a lacy white thong followed, puffing out her cheeks and blocking her tongue. Then, Caine had to use more strength to cram a fourth thong, a yellow one with a Pokémon figure on it, into Samantha`s already full mouth. He pushed and prodded and finally reached for a stocking.

»You know the capacity of your mouth very well, Samantha! Lots of experience, eh?«

Her gag was secured with the stocking and layers of tape and Isabelle looked at her with pity, though she felt helpless and miserable herself. If only she had called the Police as Cordelia had said and she had also initially intended!

Caine now took a long silk scarf and draped it around Isabelle`s neck so the ends brushed over her breasts, partially covering them. Then, they both grabbed Samantha and placed the girl on the hanging chair so she had to kneel between her sister`s splayed thighs and her knees touched her panty-clad crotch. Not caring about Isabelle`s sense of modesty, Caine then used the dangling ends of Samantha`s knee ties to fix them to her crotch rope.

»You better don`t lean back!«, he said towards Samantha. Then, he took the ends of the scarf and forced Samantha to bend forward. Only when their bare boobs were pressed against each other, he tied the scarf off at Samantha`s nape. When he stepped back, the hanging chair ached and the two girls breathed heavily through their noses and squirmed slightly in their involuntary proximity.

»Enjoy your sisterly bonding time!«, Caine said mockingly. »According to Michiko`s calendar, the cleaning service will show up tomorrow morning at 11 am. So, you will have more than 20 hours for each other!«

He and Marc laughed. Then, they put the suitcase with Akiko in it on its wheels and pushed it into the corridor. A few seconds later, the girls heard the door fall shut.

***

The nearby Irish Pub offered the usual Irish beers that were known all over the world and so, Vinh had a Guinness whilst Mike preferred a Kilkenny. However, the waiter was a West African who only spoke French and so, they could have a quite frankly conversation in English.

Assuming that his part in whatever was going on was the smaller one, Mike had quickly told Vinh that he had been responsible for Linh being arrested, but that he was not related to the French Police.

»However, when I left her, nicely trussed up for the Police to find, it was the last time I saw her – quite angry, but well and alive. So, what is your role in that game?«

Vinh looked over his shoulder and then bent forward.

»I am really her brother in law.«

He scoffed.

»Linh and Vinh! Luckily, her sister`s – my wife`s – name is Tao!«

»And your relation is – just family?«, Mike asked and Vinh shook his head.

»I know what Linh has done and so does Tao. But we have never been a part of her so-called ›business‹, nor do we appreciate it! Quite the contrary!«

He quickly told Mike about his own back story: After finishing university, He had planned to establish his own business – a combination of tourism and environment protection in the middle of the Vietnamese jungle. His idea was absolutely legal and even considered honest, but it would have been expensive to get it started and so, Vinh had asked for a bank loan.

»However, nobody wanted to give me money! Obviously, they knew about my sister in law and so, they refused to give a single Dollar to a man with such a bad reputation!«

»They can`t blame you for her crimes«, Mike interjected, causing Vinh to laugh bitterly.

»Oh, believe me, they can! These traditions about family honor and what you Europeans call ›losing your face‹ exist for millennia in our country – and they even survived decades of Socialism very well. We are either considered Pariahs – or idiots, because we are poor although Linh is making millions!«

So, Vinh had had to cancel his dreams of founding Vietnam`s first ecologically impeccable tourist resort and was currently working for a car insurance company.

»Then, about a month ago, we heard about Linh`s arrest and when it turned out that she would be convicted, Tao and me made a decision. And that`s why I am here and Tao`s – somewhere not too far.«

»Malta«, Mike added in his thoughts, but decided to keep this bit of knowledge to himself for the moment. Instead, he asked:

»Why didn`t you just inform the bankers that she`s in jail? Sure, that should raise your reputation a bit, since at least justice is done.«

Vinh again looked over his shoulder if anyone was listening and when he spoke, his voice was just a whisper:

»I did, of course. And one company offered me a loan on acceptable conditions – if I can assure that Linh will never again leave the path of virtue.«

»And so, you came here to meet her and to see if she has changed.«

Again, Vinh nodded.

»Instead, when I arrived at Grenoble, I was told that she had died in prison. Which would solve my problem, so to say.«

He took a large sip from his beer, obviously not feeling well for having spoken badly about a dead relative. Mike finished what he hadn`t mentioned so far:

»However, as long as you don`t have proof that she really is dead, there is a slight possibility that she might have escaped – and you will end your days selling car insurances.«

He patted the man`s shoulder and added:

»Usually, I would order another round, but now, we have to do some shopping. I think that there is a hardware store somewhere.«

»Hardware store?«

»Yeah, unless you prefer chewing through those bars.«

Vinh looked at him and suddenly frowned.

»Why are you helping me?«

Mike thought of the picture of Isabelle`s panty-clad middle and smiled:

»If I told you, you would call me insane.«

Now, Vinh showed a grin.

»That`s exactly what people called me when I told them about my plans with the resort. Well, perhaps, it needs two madmen to get this mystery solved! Let`s go!«

***

Though still only partially clad, tied to a pole and gagged, Cordelia had relaxed a bit. Her captor definitely wasn`t Linh and though she intended to keep her captive for some time, she didn`t seem brutal or to be full of mean ideas as her twin sister was. After all she had endured, she was sure she would survive this captivity without greater damage.

She had overheard Tao`s phone call and then, the Asian had told her that indeed Isabelle would be left alone, though she sure had been left behind bound and gagged by Tao`s accomplices. Cordelia felt relief for her friend, though she worried about Samantha and especially about Akiko.

About one or two hours had passed during which Tao had done some work on her laptop whilst Cordelia had secretly tested her bonds. The ropes were tight, but she had found that she could reach the knots of her wrist ties.

»Maybe, later, when she`s asleep, I can get free! Now, the best thing is to do as if I am defeated!«

She had tried to relax the best her bondage allowed, trying to ignore that the saliva in her mouth was filtered by another woman`s used pantyhose, when suddenly, a car could be heard outside. Tao reached for her gun when little later, someone knocked at the door in a specific rhythm.

 »Come in!«, Tao ordered and a tall Maltese entered. He bowed towards Tao and when he noticed the bound and gagged Cordelia, he just raised an eyebrow before he said towards the Asian:

»Marc sends me! My name is Caine!«
