“TOUCHDOWN!” 

Lauren and the rest of the cheerleaders jumped up and down in celebration as their wide receiver hauled in the overtime winner. In the biggest rivalry game of the year they had won! She grabbed her friend and co-captain Jamie and hugged her tight as they all celebrated. The cheerleaders of State danced around on the sidelines but the celebration was cut short when a cup of beer landed nearby and splashed all over the boots of one of the other cheerleaders. That was the go signal as soon debris and more cups began to be thrown onto the field and with the cheerleaders being relatively close to the stands they scrambled for cover. 

They had been warned about this before the game, given they were playing an away game in a very hostile environment but Lauren was still unprepared for how venomous the fans seemed. It was her second year on the team and this rivalry game had happened in their home stadium last year, so it was the first time she was exposed to this level of hate. I guess looking pretty doesn’t always save you. She complained to herself as she covered her head and joined the rest of the cheerleaders in the tunnel. They gathered together making sure everyone was accounted for as the booing continued, now echoing off of the tunnel walls. Two of the girls were soaked, poor Brendan was covered in beer that stained her uniform but the rest were pretty much unscathed, just shaken up. 

“Everyone ok?” Jamie asked as she took headcount. 

Given the elation two minutes ago, everyone looked a little worn down. The girls were all dressed in a two piece cheerleader uniform of red and white with a sleeveless top and skirt, and white cowgirl boots. “Let’s get back to the room, we’ll gather our stuff and wait it out.” 

The girls all trooped back into the room they had been assigned under the stadium that contained all of their bags, as well as some spare uniforms so Brendan could change out of the beer soaked top she was in and the rest could clean up any other stains or debris. They had barely enough time to wipe themselves off when there was a knock at the door. Jamie answered it, revealing a police officer standing in the doorway. “Yes?” She asked. 

“Hi miss. We’ve been assigned to escort you all out of the stadium, additional security given the environment. You uh, probably already saw the reason for this.” 

Jamie nodded. “When are we leaving?” 

“Right now.” 

“Girls! Grab your things, let’s go! 

Everyone gathered their bags and filed out the door to find a set of six police officers waiting for them. Taking up positions around the clump of cheerleaders, the officers led the way through the tunnels to the other end of the stadium. “How come we’re going to the other side?” One of the cheerleaders asked. 

“Crowds.” The nearest officer responded. “We’re still sorting them out where the visitor parking was so your bus was redirected. 

Lauren quickly found the need for security. Within the stadium, they were safe in the tunnels where only staff and players were allowed, but once they got beyond the wall of the building there was a sea of fans. The noise was deafening. Obscenities were shouted every which way. Fans shouted curses at their school and at the cheerleaders. Some over the top drunk fans shouted what they would do to some of the girls given the chance. The girls huddled in a tight clump, seeking security in each other as the police officers shouted orders and assisted their fellow security officers in holding back rowdy people at the barricades. Parked on the side of the road was one of the State buses, which surprisingly didn’t have paint or something covering it at this point. “Go!” The lead officer shouted as the door to the bus opened. 

They didn’t need to be told twice. No more projectiles came their way but the girls wanted to get out of the environment as fast as possible and one by one they scrambled onto the coach bus. The driver was fiddling with something under the wheel as they passed but the cheerleaders made it on board without incident and everyone collapsed in their seats. 

Once the girls were on board, the lead officer nodded to the driver who closed the door and there was a hiss as the bus began to pull away from the curb. With their job done, the police officers retreated back inside to a storage room where the lead pulled out a phone. “Job done.” He reported. “It was easy, they had no idea. Girls enroute.” 

The imposter policemen quickly changed into facility staff uniforms to blend in with the ground crew before dispersing. Meanwhile twenty minutes away the bus that was done up to mimic their original school bus pulled into a warehouse. The driver opened the door and stepped out wearing a gas mask, greeting the burly men and women waiting. “They’re all out.” He reported. “Let’s get them out on display.” 

One by one the slavers boarded the bus and emerged holding an unconscious cheerleader. While en route, the driver had released knockout gas into the bus after donning a gas mask, ensuring that all the cheerleaders were asleep by the time they arrived at their destination. Most of the men were more than happy to get their hands on college cheerleaders, taking some liberties as they carried them off the bus in their cute uniform and boots, but they also had a job to do. 

Each girl was taken off the bus and through a set of doors. On the other side was the main warehouse which had been set up to mimic a football field. This was the auction setup for the night, complete with goalposts at either end. Multiple metal frames were spread out across the field, with iPads on stands that showed a picture of each girl on the cheerleading team. Each frame had multiple arms ending in cuffs that would rigidly hold each girl in a cheerleading pose and could be adjusted to a different pose if the kidnappers so desired. The original plan had been to mimic the poses from the opening dance the girls had done mere hours ago, but it had been vetoed to poses that exposed more of the girls assets. 

When Lauren finally came to, she knew something was very wrong. There was an aching in her shoulders and something filling her mouth, but when she tried to bring her hands to her mouth to remove whatever was inside of it they failed to respond. Her eyes snapped open and for a few seconds, her brain had trouble processing what she was seeing in front of her. It was an absolute horror scenario. Every single one of her friends and fellow cheerleaders were forced into ridiculous poses and gagged with large red ballgags with a white strap to fit the theme of their uniform. Cuffs around their wrists, elbows, neck, waist, and over their boots ensured none of the girls could move an inch from where they stood. 

Which brought Lauren to her own problem. She was currently suspended underneath one of the goalposts with her wrists cuffed above her explaining the ache in her shoulders. Looking down, she saw thick metal cuffs clamped down over her cowgirl boots and a ballgag similar to the others was strapped deep in her mouth. A leather collar completed her bondage, and as she glanced to her left to see Jamie waking up in a similar situation to her she could see the collar was also white to match their uniforms. 

She exchanged a horrified look with Jamie who was now fully conscious and struggling before a leather gloved hand grabbed her chin and forced her to look in front of her. A man in black clothes grinned at her, and her eyes widened in recognition. It was the lead police officer! He’d been an imposter! “Thanks for walking right along into everything.” He grinned as he felt up Lauren through her uniform, causing her to yelp into the ballgag.

It wasn’t very loud. “The buyers are very excited to see you all and you’ll make us quite a bit of money.” 

He turned away from her. “Bring them in!”
