Finding a replacement

By Latexthom

chapter 18

Charlotte directed Silvia and Dolly into a large drawing room and bid them to sit down. She said, “Silvia, are you going to introduce me to your friend and is she experienced?” Silvia replied, “This is Mistress and no, she has no experience but would like to talk to you about other matters.” Charlotte said, “Mistress, what sort of name is that?” Dolly held up her talisman and said, “The kind that will manage your mind. Please take this bottle of water and drink it.”

Charlotte drank the water and then Dolly, still holding her rock in front of Charlotte, said, “How many girls have you got working tonight and how many of them have been hypnotised by Hilda?” Charlotte said in an emotionless voice, “I have sixteen girls working tonight and they have all have been hypnotised by Hilda.” Dolly said, “Is one of them that doctor Hilda entranced?” Charlotte replied, “No, she was working all weekend and now has two days off.” Dolly said, “How many are working here?” Charlotte said, “There are eleven here and eight of them are with clients.” Dolly said, “Silvia, you had better go out and cover for Charlotte.” Silvia got up and left the room and Dolly asked, “What is your relationship to Hilda and why did she take over your house?” Charlotte replied, “I first met Hilda about seven years ago before I retired. I was her immediate supervisor in the police force and was in charge of Vice.

At my retirement party I got a little drunk and when I woke up, Hilda could make me do anything and as a joke, made me a madam. The joke paid off for her because she used my house and gave me a family of committed call girls who provided an excellent service, almost as good as the one Silvia provided. Lately those things have not been going well. John Redshank found a way to control her and from then on she was very out of character until yesterday, when something snapped and she killed him. I was expecting to have to give my statement to Detective Sergeant William Jackson today. He was the only policeman in Scarborough that Hilda had not compromised and he is leading the investigation. However, he did not come.” Dolly looked at the clock and thought, only two more minutes, and said, “Why was it that Hilda did not take Sergeant Jackson?” Charlotte replied, “Because she promised Wendy, Sergeant Jackson’s wife and Hilda’s younger sister that she wouldn’t.”

Dolly waited another sixty seconds and put the talisman away. Dolly then said, “If you think Hilda took over your brain, wait until you see what I can do. Charlotte, you are now mine, mind, body and soul. Anything I want you to do, whether I tell you directly or through someone else, you will do as instructed. You will also believe everything I tell you. If I tell you a new truth, it will rewrite your mind so that that truth has always been so, even if I tell you that night is day, you will know in the deepest recesses of you mind that it is so and always has been. You must continue to operate as the madam only now you work for me. Employment for me is for life there is no retirement plan and no means of resignation; you are stuck. What’s more, you want to be in this situation and you will do whatever you can to preserve it and protect it. You will never give any information about me away and you will never allow anyone else to take over. If you suspect our empire is threatened, you must get word to me in time that I may be able to do something about it.”

“You will have noticed that Silvia and I wear latex clothing and you may have noticed Hilda has been wearing it also lately. You have for some time been thinking of trying it, if you haven’t already. However, from tomorrow morning you will source yourself an outfit and put it on. From the moment all the fastenings are closed, you are going to fall in love with it so much that wearing something different will break your heart and must be avoided at all costs. Your first task in your new employment is to bring each girl or woman to me so I can claim them. There is nothing wrong with me doing this; it is what you want as well. As soon as you have delivered every female in your stable, I will give any man, woman or child except Silvia or me, to be your slave. You can have a toy boy or toy girl and as long as they live in or can be brought to Scarborough, then you can have them as my gift. You will also keep them in latex 24/7 and if it is a man you will dress him as a girl. Now you will not remember the words that I have spoken but will remember the sense and the meaning and you will never interpret this as mind control, just a meeting of like minded individuals.”

“You will count down in your mind from 100 to zero and wake up feeling happier that you have ever felt before when you reach zero.”

Dolly disposed of the empty bottle and made sure the talisman was away, but within easy reach, and waited. In slightly less that two minutes, Charlotte awoke and said, “Oh Mistress, I am so glad we had this talk and I agree with everything you have proposed and my loyalty to you is guaranteed. What would you have me do?” Dolly told her, “Go back to work and send Silvia back in here, then find four girls who are not with clients and send them in.”

Dolly sat in a very comfortable leather chair and waited for Silvia. Several minutes later Silvia entered and said, “I was almost kidnapped. It was just as well I had the talisman; it was one of my ex-clients and when he asked for me I told him I was no longer a whore. He tried to take me but he has now gone with his tail between his legs and will now be the perfect lover to a working girl.” Dolly said, “I am glad you are alright and I am sorry if I put you in danger. Charlotte has gone to find four girls. We are going to take them and lock them in with us as the best whores in the world, as you were.” Silvia said, “I was the product of that so I would like to watch you before I start programming these girls.” Dolly said, “OK, you watch and then you do the next group tomorrow. We only brought six bottles of water and I used one on Charlotte so we should plan to do between four and five each night.”

Charlotte opened the door and said, “I found the first four as requested. Do you want them now?” Dolly said, “Yes, please send them in, and then go back to what you do best.”

Four girls walked in that Dolly had never met before and they were all lookers and in their late teens or early twenties. Dolly whispered, “OK girls gather around me; I have a sore throat and can’t talk very loud.” The girls came in close and Dolly whispered, “First, I would like to show you this.” She raised the talisman and all four girls were entranced. Dolly said, “Silvia is going to give you each a bottle of water and you are going to drink it and believe it is the best tasting water you have ever drunk.”

When all the bottles were empty, Dolly continued, “Sit together on the settee and get comfortable. The drink contained a mild hypnotic concoction that will put you in a very mild trance. I am going to tell you how to be better call girls and get more enjoyment out of doing your job well. Just bear with me and when the drug seeps into your system, we will begin.”

After the thirteen minutes, Dolly said, “Listen carefully, each of you. You now all work for me. You are going to be the very best and most loyal whores in the world, and to be the very best you will concentrate on giving pleasure to your clients, and as they receive pleasure, so will you. You will feed off their pleasure, you will orgasm when they orgasm and you will satisfy all there fetishes by having those same fetishes while you are in their company. You will each try latex clothing and when you do, you will decide to adopt them all the time and love wearing them, unless you have a medical condition that could cause you harm. You must take every care to avoid sexually transmitted diseases and seek medical checks every four weeks. Although you work for me, Charlotte is my second in command and you will do whatever she says. Discipline is important in any organisation so if you believe that you have done something against the stable or have broken any of the rules as defined by Charlotte, you will not need to be punished by anyone other than yourself. You will know that you were in error and as a result, your own mind will punish you by imagining that your ass is being thrashed with twenty-five hard and very painful strikes with a hard object.”

If I or Silvia tell you to do something, you will do it without question or dissent; if either of us gives you a new truth you will take that truth as your firm belief until either of us tells you differently. In this employment, you will continue to be the best whore until you reach thirty-two years of age and then we will set you free with enough money to start again in another part of the country.”

“Now, are there any questions? No, then count down in your mind from 100 to zero and as you do you will think about how lucky you are to work for us and you will wake up when you reach zero.”

Dolly moved away from the girls and turned to Silvia who was looking shocked, and said, “Is that what you did to me?” Dolly replied, “Not all of it. That time I was not trying to build a business with you, I only gave you the pleasure bit. You now get your pleasure from pleasing me and I get mine from pleasing you.”

They packed away the empty bottles and got ready to leave. Out in the hall, they met Charlotte showing a man out and Dolly said, “We will be back tomorrow and will give the same talk to another group. By Friday we plan to have done everyone. Have a good night and I will see you tomorrow.” Charlotte bid them farewell and they left the building at the same time as the four girls were waking up.

Silvia said, “You are getting very good at mind control. I would never have been able to lay that down so succinctly.” Dolly replied, “I don’t know, Roland did some things I never thought of, like not letting others take control.” Silvia said, “That is because it was not his mind control mechanics and he knew you would try and take him on sometime.” Dolly said, “He was nearly good enough to take me. If he had gone slower and had taken smaller steps, he could have done it.” Silvia said, “How did he start?” Dolly replied, “When he had sex with both of us, he made me feel very submissive and I remembered what it was like when I first met Walter. That gave him a way in and he took it and then exploited it, until he broke one of Walter’s rules, and that snapped me back.” Silvia said, “Thank god for Walter then. Roland was an evil person, where as you are lovely.”

They arrived back at the house to find a woman sitting on the door step dressed in latex and supporting a long blond wig. Silvia said, “Who is that?” Dolly replied, “I’ll bet that’s Pauline. Is that you, Pauline?” The person stood up and nodded. Dolly continued, “What can we do for you?” Pauline said in a very high squeaky voice, “I am looking for Roland. Doris said it was him who set me up.” Dolly replied, “No one has seen Roland since Saturday.” Pauline said, “Where did he go?” to which Dolly replied, “To the west coast, but I don’t know where after that.” Pauline asked, “He used your Dad’s chemicals to do this. Can you undo it?” Dolly said, “I could possibly undo the mental conditioning but the changes Doris made are irreversible. There is also no guarantee that I can do anything. I have failed with others that Roland mind controlled; he was very sneaky with his method. I think it would be best if you accepted the conversion and became a woman. I understand that Doris gave you double the pheromone injection because Roland told her to. I don’t think I can help you.” Pauline turned and wandered off into the night in the direction of the beach.

Dolly opened the door and the two girls went inside. Dolly locked the door and said, “Do you want a drink before we go to bed?” Silvia said, “No, what I want is you and a replay of last night.” In bed they mad love for an hour before Dolly went to sleep and Silvia was totally besotted.

Next morning Dolly was up first and showered before Silvia only just forced herself out of bed. Her body and mind had relived the sex most of the night and she was tired.

As Dolly exited the bathroom, she met Marissa on the landing and Marissa asked, “What it is with Simone and her mackintosh? She has had her hands in her pockets all night, although it didn’t stop her from giving my pussy a marathon tongue lashing last night. I have never cum as many times in a single session in my entire life.” Dolly said, “I hope iit wasn’t all one sided. Did you return the good deed?” Marissa said, “I tried, but the aroma under her coat was a bit overwhelming.” Dolly said, “Well you had better go back and try again, only this time the aroma under her mackintosh will be the most erotic smell you could ever experience and you will become addicted to it before Simone orgasms. Each time she orgasms this morning, your addiction will double and she needs at least five climaxes before she gets up.” Dolly followed Marissa into the spare room and as she dived under the skirt of Simone’s mackintosh, Dolly whispered to Simone, “There is another trigger that will allow you to release your hands from their confinement and that is five orgasms from Marissa.” Simone looked at Dolly through slanted eyes, and said, “Thank you, I know you still love me.”

While Dolly was in with Simone and Marissa, Silvia snuck into the bathroom and the shower was waking her up. Dolly dressed and then went down to make breakfast.

The week continued like that each day, and by Friday all Charlotte’s girls were brought into the fold and Simone and Marissa were a couple as much as Silvia and Dolly were. The shop was doing fantastic; latex sales were up and there had been several women entering the shop dressed in latex to buy more.

On Friday Dolly had gone into the lab for fresh supplies of ‘4’ and took the last of the prepared bottles. Checking the post, there was one letter from Scudamore and he requested she call in to see him on Saturday morning at 9:30am. She had decided to spend some time in the lab making more diluted ‘4’ and if necessary, look into making more batches of the concentrate. When she read Walter’s instructions when she first found the lab, she thought it was within her capabilities. It just seemed like a recipe for a casserole in the kitchen only more precise and slightly more dangerous.

Saturday morning came around and Simone and Marissa went to the shop. Silvia was going to talk to Charlotte about the financial packages for the girls and to see Doctor Janice Marsh who had been Hilda’s whipping girl about setting up a doctor’s surgery in one of Charlottes unused cellar rooms.

When Dolly arrived at Scudamore’s there was another man in the office and Scudamore introduced him as Raymond Meagan, his ex-partner. Raymond said, “So you are Walter’s daughter and you would like it that we join forces again.” Dolly said, “That depends on whether we can take over John’s empire as a viable endeavour.” Raymond said, “John’s legitimate enterprises all make money and his not-so-lawful enterprises make a lot more.” Dolly said, “What I don’t understand is the legal structure of his empire. What titles are there and how do the not-so-legal enterprises fit in these?”

Raymond produced a piece of paper with an organisation chart printed on it. The box at the top said Redshank Holdings and underneath this there were four boxes labelled: Retail, Services, Entertainment and Agency. Under each of these boxes, except the last one, there was a list. Under ‘Retail’ the list provided the shops that John had owned in the town. These were: two sex shops, two hairstylists, one shoe repair and key cutter, one jeweler and one costume rental shop.

Under ‘Services’ the list provided the businesses John had owned. These were: two vehicle repairers, a precision engineering enterprise, a tool hire enterprise, a security and alarm enterprise, a car and truck hire enterprise.

Under ‘Entertainment’ the list provided a further set of businesses John has owned. These were: two restaurants, three pubs, a wind bar, a club and two caravan parks.

Dolly asked, “What is the Agency box for?” Raymond said, “This is where most of the prostitution is conducted in addition to a general body shop supplying babysitters, male chaperones, female hostesses, entertainment turns and body guards.”

Raymond said, “Before John died most of his army of heavy body guard people all disappeared and the last one was washed up on Scarborough shoreline wearing female clothing on Wednesday. The police are baffled; there were no marks on his body. It was like he just dressed as a woman and walked into the sea.”

Dolly said, “I expect that would be Paul. He came to the house on Monday night looking for Roland and when he couldn’t find him, he left us and walked towards the shore but there was no indication he would take his own life.” Raymond said, “Before John died, he was very upset with Roland so it wouldn’t surprise me if John was responsible for Roland’s disappearance.” Dolly said, “Talking about John dying, what happened to Hilda?” Raymond said, “Her brain has tripped. She is not making any sense and the police will probably commit her rather than force her through a long trial.”

Dolly said, “So do you have a value for John’s holdings and does Walter have the money to buy them?” Raymond said, “John spent a lot of time and energy undervaluing each of his enterprises for tax purposes so the value of the whole shooting match would be no more than fifteen million and Walter could easily fund that.” Dolly said, “Then I think you two should get together and sort it out, but after learning from Walter for so long, we should only pay twelve million. Make whomever it is an offer.” Scudamore said, “Raymond, we make an offer for twelve million to include all transfer costs and title changes.” Raymond said, “I’m sure Mrs. Redshank will accept that so yes, I think we can proceed on that basis.” Both solicitors shook hands and Mr. Scudamore said, “I always preferred it when we worked in partnership; welcome back.”

After Raymond had left the office, Dolly gave Walter’s post to Mr. Scudamore and asked, “Where are we with probate and all the other issues?” Scudamore replied, “I am nearing the end of my negotiations with the tax man and as soon and the death duties and inheritance taxes have been agreed and settled, you will be a very rich woman.”

“When you were at the funeral, you mentioned that Walter had made provisions for Imogen and Patty in Skegness. Can you tell me what they were?” Scudamore said, “They get title to their respective houses and half a million each.” Dolly thanked Mr. Scudamore and started to leave and then she turned and said, “I am thinking of adding a conservatory to the back of Walter’s house and the cost is likely to be in the order of £25K. Should I go speak to the bank or can I borrow from Walter against my inheritance?” Scudamore said, “Don’t bother with the bank. Let me know when you need to pay the bill and I will transfer the funds into your account.” Dolly thanked him and then walked out of his office and headed back to the house. As she walked down Heathcliff Street she met Wendy and another woman coming out of Doris’ Hairstylists. Wendy stopped her and said, “You obviously hypnotised both William and me and we are now following your post hypnotic suggestions. What I don’t understand is how you have made me want this. Hilda could never do that. I always knew when she tried to make me do something I didn’t want to do. I shouldn’t want to do this to my husband. He has a responsible job which will be compromised by this. All I can think about is how nice it will be to have a girl friend.” Dolly said, “Not just a girl friend but one that can plough your pussy as a man. I’ll bet your pussy is getting very hot just thinking about it. Look both of you, come around to my house so you can get some relief.” They followed behind Dolly holding hands. When Dolly opened the door, she invited them in and asked William if he had been to work and if not, who was running the Hilda investigation. William spoke in a very sexy female cadence and replied, “No I haven’t been to work and Hilda has been undergoing mental assessment. She appears to have the mind of a child. She has no memory of the last thirty years.”

Wendy was standing in the hall getting quite agitated and Dolly said, “OK we will talk later. You take Wendy up stairs and use the bed in the front bedroom.” Dolly followed them upstairs and looked in the room and then said, “William, you are first and foremost a girl and as such you should start out by making love as a girl. You should use your tongue to lift your partner through three orgasms before you dip that extra appendage you have into your partners honey pot, and as a submissive girl you should get your pleasure by giving pleasure.”

Dolly retired from the room and returned to the ground floor. She then called the shop to ensure all was OK and when that was confirmed she phoned Charlotte to see if Silvia was accomplishing what she set out to do. When she was put through to Silvia and told her who was upstairs, Silvia said, “Could we use Wendy in here?” Dolly replied, “There isn’t time. We need to keep our average age in the low to mid twenties and Wendy is near thirty if not already past it.” Silvia said, “We need then to find four more girls in their late teens.” Dolly responded, “I am going to do some bottling this afternoon so we can go out tonight as see who is about. Did you know John had a night club in Scarborough?” Silvia said, “Yes but it has a members only policy.” Dolly asked, “Where do the young girls go for entertainment?” Silvia replied, “There is a disco on the north shore caravan park that was the best place when I was younger.” Dolly asked, “Is every thing under control there?” Silvia said, “Yes, everything is fine. I seem have taken over Hilda’s responsibilities so I might be a little late getting back. Could you ask Simone not to prepare a meal for me and I’ll eat here.” Dolly said she would and then terminated the call.

Dolly then put the kettle on and made three cups of coffee. She was pouring the milk in when Wendy and William walked down stairs. Dolly shouted, “In here” and they came into the kitchen. “Sit down both of you; I would like a chat.” As they sat down Dolly put a cup of coffee in front of each of them and said, “I haven’t put any sugar in any of them. Would either of you like any?”

Wendy said, “One please” and as Dolly reached for the cupboard Wendy swapped the cups between Dolly’s and hers. Dolly sat down and said, “I have been thinking about William and his job and I think he should take over from Hilda. He should apply for promotion as a female inspector.” Wendy said, “That is what we are aiming for. He passed the inspectors exam on Tuesday and the Chief Superintendent said he should finish the conversion so that was why we were at the hairstylist’s shop today. It was the last injection on her voice box and the last pheromone injection in her breasts. Our only worry is that she is very submissive as a girl and that doesn’t fit in with an inspector.” Dolly said, “Perhaps I could help. What would you like me to do?” Wendy asked, “Would it be possible for you to hypnotise her and make it so she can do her job without being so submissive?” Dolly said, “If I give her something, it has to be balanced. What can I take away?” Wendy replied, “Why do you have to take something away? Surely you can just try and make her stronger at work.” Dolly said, “Now William, that is a silly name for a girl. What name would you like? How about Winnie and if you accept that name I will make it better at work.” Winnie said, “Yes, I like that name.” Dolly continued, “OK, providing Wendy gives you a blowjob in the morning wearing nothing but your latex mackintosh, you can be confident and not submissive from then until you clock off work.”

“OK Wendy, I am talking to your subconscious now. Each morning Winnie will ask you to give her a blowjob while dressed in the mackintosh she took from my house. You may not want to do it; however if the act is freely given with love you will be unchanged. If however the act is performed out of duty, you will lose you free will where your junior female staff are concerned. In this state you will do whatever you are told to do by your subordinate females and you will never consider this unusual or wrong. You will do it because they were right and you should. William, you are forbidden to pass on information about this session to anyone, even to Wendy. Now Wendy, wake up forgetting everything that has happened since you took your coffee and tell me about your sister. Have you seen her in her current state?”

Wendy said, “Yes, I saw her yesterday. She is in the mental wing at the General and she seems to have lost her mind.” Dolly said, “What are the police proposing?” “The psychiatrist who reviewed her said something catastrophic must have happened and her mind has withdrawn into itself. He doesn’t think she will ever get better.” Dolly asked Winnie, “What will be the police angle in such a case?”. Winnie replied, “When I get back to work on Monday, I will interview all her associates and try and find out why she did it and what led up to it.” Dolly said, “OK, best of luck and I will see you around.” Wendy took Winnie’s hand and led her outside. They said their goodbyes on the door step.

After they had gone, Dolly decided to go though to Walter’s lab. She locked the front door and then decided to change. She remembered a cat suit among the clothes Walter had bought which she had never tried on and she now wanted to avoid any contamination on her skin.

She found the cat suit and was pleased that it was complete with socks and gloves and a high collar. She laid it on the bed with her gas mask and went to have a shower.

What she did not realise was that the chemists had also found the cat suit and had spread an active ingredient over the whole of the inside surface. The two rogue chemists had been attempting to develop what Walter had achieved but without success. But they had however successfully developed a drug that when applied to an area of skin, it would react with whatever the skin was touching and make a connection. This connection was not like glue but it was as good as glue since it created an attraction between the two surfaces that, if allowed to remain in place for fifteen minutes or so, would realign the nerves in the skin so that the connection was the normal state and like an addiction, the nerves would object strongly if the connection was broken. They had mixed this drug into a water based lubrication and, having turned the cat suit inside out, they had lubricated the whole of the inside surface, making sure the fingers of the gloves and the feet of the socks were liberally coated. They had also intended to coat the inside of the gas mask but Roland arrived before they had got around to that. They had just turned the suit the right way out and had left in on the bed. When Roland had dispatched the two chemists, he had returned the cat suit to the bottom of the wardrobe and thrown the bottle of lubricant in the bin.

Dolly had her shower and dried herself before going back to the bedroom and picked up the cat suit. When she started to push her feet into the legs, she stopped. “Who lubricated this?” she thought. She remembered Averill washing it and then remembered that there was an empty bottle of lubricant in the bin after the business with the chemists and Roland. Dolly was undecided whether to proceed but her legs inside the suit and her bum which was sitting on the lubricated latex were all feeling rather nice. This nice feeling was seducing her into a false sense of bliss.

That niggle in her mind returned and she took the suit off and returned to the shower and washed off all the lubricant from her skin. “I will need to try that on someone else first,” she thought. “Who should I choose to test this on or should I just wash it all off? No, not if it is some form of nasty chemical. I should take a sample and then test the suit out on someone.” After her second shower she carefully closed the zip on the suit ensuring she never touched the lubricant, and put the offending item of clothing in a plastic bag.

She found clothes that would cover her body completely but without lubrication and travelled through the garden and sheds to Walter’s laboratory. In the store room she pulled out two boxes of new bottles and a box of lids. She had read Water’s instructions which were very simple: fill the bottles with tap water, add 200 millilitres of concentrate and then cap the bottles with the lids. The device that put the lids on was simplicity itself and soon Dolly had a hundred bottles ready and capped with 300 millilitres in each. She looked closely at the labels and could not find the tiny figure four. She looked around to find what he had used and eventually found in a box an assortment of little numbered stamps.

Dolly was half way through stamping the bottles when she heard banging from downstairs either coming from the garage door or the door of Walter’s office. She took off the mask, then put in the contact lenses and, holding the talisman in her hand, went to find out who was banging.

Downstairs, after securing the cupboard and taking off Walter’s mackintosh, Dolly opened the door and found two of the young local girl hoodies and Dolly said, “What do you want and why all the banging?”

The taller of the two said, “We saw the light on and thought the old man was back. We haven’t seen him in ages.” Dolly asked, “What did you want with Mr. Page?” The girl answered, “Sometimes when he was in the office we would talk to him and he would give us fifty pence each.” Dolly said, “Well Mr. Page is dead, and I am sorry but I am trying to sort out his things so you will have to go.” The tall girl pushed her way in and said, “We are only trying to be sociable, why not let us help you.” Dolly held the talisman up and both girls were entranced so Dolly closed the front door and asked, “How old are you and what are your names?”

The tall girl replied, “I am sixteen and my name is Harmony and this is my friend Lana and she is sixteen as well.” Dolly thought, “You are both too small to test out my cat suit so what am I going to do with you...” Both girls looked straight ahead and Dolly said, “OK, from now on you will do as I tell you and you will never bang on this door again or allow your friends to do so either. When either of you talk to a boy, any boy, you will become very submissive and you will love that feeling and when you obey any instruction from a boy you will feel great joy and happiness. Now go away and let me get back to my work, forgetting that you have been in a trance or that you saw me. You will wake up when you stand outside this closed and locked door and believe that you were just banging on it without any response.”

They walked outside and Dolly closed and locked the door. Dolly put Walter’s mac back on and returned to the lab and finished stamping the labels on the bottles. Dolly started to tidy up and looked at the large flagon of ‘4’ concentrate. She estimated that there must be more that twenty litres in the container and doing one hundred bottles had made a very miniscule change to the level. The lab was full of equipment that could be used to analyse chemicals but she didn’t know how to use it. Then she thought, “But I know someone who can, Averill. I’ll phone her tonight.”

Dolly put 12 bottles in an empty box and carried them down stairs. She then secured the lab and returned through both sheds to her back door. The door was still locked and the house looked deserted. She opened the door and placed the box on the table and then checked the house for unwanted guests. The cat suit had made her a bit paranoid she was certain that there was something harmful in the lubricant and it was in her wardrobe. She felt more vulnerable now than she did when the door was broken and all those men died. Putting the water bottles away, she returned to the lab and opened the safe, removed the player and then, taking a bottle of water, she replayed the tape making her confident and more assertive. When she awoke she felt different she was very much more confident and much more assertive. And then she realised the 50% extra concentrate had a dramatic effect and thought, “No wonder Hilda lost her mind. She drank two bottles of this stuff and it is very powerful.”

What she wasn’t thinking about was that the tape made her a little more evil every time she played it. While she was returning to the house, she thought about the woman on the phone two or three weeks ago that was so rude. “I wonder what size she is and where is that invoice; it will have her address.”

She found the invoice and the company was based in Thirsk, not too far away but too far for tonight. Simone and Marissa should be home soon. Again she secured the lab and traversed through the sheds to the back garden, and this time she had brought a culture jar. Taking the cat suit out of its bag, she scraped off some of the lubricant and moved it into the jar, and then put the lid on. She phoned Averill and was still talking to Averill when Simone and Marissa entered though the front door. Simone came into the kitchen and heard Dolly’s side of the conversation. She was feeling a little miffed at being subservient to Marissa and wanted to have a word but, seeing the bag containing the talisman and contacts on the table, she decided to have some revenge.

Dolly was not looking at the table so Simone picked up the talisman and with her eyes closed held it in front of Dolly, however Dolly’s last replay of Walter’s tape with 300 millilitres of ‘4’ had made her resistant to the affect and she took the rock out of Simone’s hand. The shock caused Simone to open her eyes and she was instantly entranced by the talisman in Dolly’s hands. Walter’s rule number two was being playing through Dolly’s mind and she said, “Were you trying to hypnotise me?” Simone said, “I suppose I was. I want my position back; I don’t like being subservient to Marissa.” Dolly said, “Go up stairs and into my bedroom, remove all your clothes and then put on the cat suit that is on my bed. When it is zipped up fully closed, you will redress in the clothes you have had on all day and you forget that you are wearing the cat suit and you will not notice any unusual feelings on your skin. When you are dressed as you were when you came home, come back here and wake up from your trance, not remembering going up stairs.”

As Simone left the kitchen, Dolly shook her head and put the talisman into it’s cloth bag. She felt a little groggy so she moved to the hall mirror and said, “Plastic Mackintosh.” She felt her head clear and then went back into the kitchen and put the contacts and talisman back in her handbag. Marissa appeared from the sitting room and said, “What was that about a plastic mac?” Dolly replied, “Nothing, just testing out a password. Oh by the way, when you next see Simone, she will only be wearing the clothes you last saw her in.” Marissa replied, “Whatever. Do you want to put the kettle on? I am wacked.” Dolly said, “Seeing it is you, I will make us all a nice cup of tea.”

Dolly boiled the kettle and placed a tea bag in three china mugs. She carried two mugs through to the sitting room as Simone came down the stairs. Simone took a mug and sat down beside Marissa on the settee and Dolly handed the other mug to the seated girl and returned to the kitchen for her own. When she sat in her armchair she said, “How was today and why was Simone upset when she came home?” Marissa replied, “We had a very busy afternoon and Simone kept wanting to go into the stock room for a rest, but I wouldn’t let her.”

Simone said, “I was tired because you kept giving me all the difficult customers.” Marissa replied, “I did not. Most of the customers were difficult today; they always are on a Saturday.” Dolly said, “That’s enough squabbling. If you want to act like little children, I will get you some toys to play with.”

Simone said, “No toys please, I am just getting back into the swing of being a complete person.” Dolly was sensing the increased power on instruction two and she tried to fight it, however she was losing the battle this time, and so she said, “Simone, you have been very naughty and I am being forced to dispense some fitting punishment.” Simone interrupted, “Please Dolly, I did not mean you any harm.” Dolly continued, “You tried to use the talisman on me. Tell me the truth, what were you thinking.” Simone said, “I heard you telling someone on the phone about a cat suit that had been coated in some unusual lubrication and you wanted to find out what was in the lubrication and what effects it had. When I heard you say you wanted to try it, I felt sure you would try it out on me, so I was going to make you put it on and then make you forget you were wearing it.” Dolly said, “Simone, you are now at the bottom of our food chain and as such you will do whatever any one of us tells you and to make sure you do not feel belittled, you will get great pleasure from obeying others.”

Marissa said, “Simone, I am hungry. When are you going to start making dinner?” Simone got up and said, “I’ll start straight away.”

Dolly was not completely satisfied; the need to be evil was very strong and even seeing Simone in the cat suit didn’t satisfy this growing necessity.
