The Selected

Synopsis: Journalist Jodi Mears goes undercover to investigate a recruitment agency that has some questionable practices

Beginning

Colin James was clearly upset about his missing daughter Lori (Loraine). He’d contacted his ex-wife Beth for help. She’d recommended he try Lori’s old college friend

Lori’s friend Jodi was a reporter,

He rang her for help

She was not too eager as she mainly did puff pieces, like a dog that can ride a skateboard, that sort of thing

“But you’re a journalist” Colin said

“Yesss” Jodi agreed with that assessment, but with a tinge of resignation that she would never be taken seriously. She was too blonde. She didn’t look like she should be smart. She looked for all intents and purposes like she should be a stripper.

“I mean… you did journalism at college”

“Yess… “Jodi sad, she knew where this was heading.

Lori and Jodi had been in college together for three years; roomies. Colin appealed to Jodi because he had exhausted all other avenues of enquiry. The police didn’t seem that interested at all.

Jodi thought about what to do and that evening she sat down with Gail, her co-signer (on an apartment they shared—they were not lovers). Gail thought long and hard and then suggested Jodi try hacking into some systems

Jodi contacted ‘the Blue Max’ (that was her handle). Maxine Blue was a friend of Jodi and Lori. All had attended college together. Whereas Jodi had been in Journalism, and Lori in Economics, Max had been in Information Technology. Only, she’d dropped out of college after a year, but remained friends. Max was known for her dark-web activities and her militant lesbianism.

Max had moved in shady circles and often hacked corporations. Colin James had provided a business name to Jodi, and Max had found out more about it on-line.

Jodi had a lead. Just before Lori was engaged (her wedding eventually cancelled) she got a job as a domestic, through an agency called Penumbra.

With Max’s help Jodi tracked down Lori’s employer and decided to drive out there.

The place was a mansion behind high walls and an imposing gate. Jodi had to park out on the street, and climb a wall to get in. Illegal—but she wasn’t a cop. She walked the long drive-way to the top. As she scaled the wall she thought of Max and the many illegal things her friend had done.Jodi thought that if Max was there she might be impressed with Jodi.

It surprised Jodi when Lori answered the door in a skimpy maid’s outfit

“Lori?” Jodi gasped

“Jodi!” Lori said “I… I didn’t expect to see you…”

“What is that you’re wearing?”

“Oh, my Master chose it for me…” she said “Isn’t it wonderful?” As she spun around showing it off Jodi noticed that Lori wore a black choker. It had a small plate that bore only the number “712”

“What? Come again?” Jodi gasped

“Would you like to come in…?”

“Errr….”

“I would like to fix you a special drink…” Lori said in a monotone

“No thanks” Jodi said “I just came to find you… your dad’s really worried about you… and so is Peter”

“Peter?”

“Your fiancée”

“Please let me get you a drink…” Lori said “You will be pleasantly surprised, I’m sure”

“No thanks… Look your dad misses you…”

“I can make it in no time”

“Look! Forget the fucking drink!”

“Master does not like swears” Lori said

“Are you on drugs?” Jodi said “Tell me you’re not doing drugs…”

“You are not welcome here” Lori said and she slammed the door

“Lori!” Jodi called

She punched the door with the ball of her fist. “Lori!”

The police arrived and escorted Jodi from the property and gave her a verbal trespass warning. Next time… arrest!

Max laughed at her when she spoke on the phone. “Amateurs” Max derided Jodi’s guerrilla tactics

Jodi went to her car and looked through her glove box and then found the business card Colin had given her “Penumbra” The company was a mystery but once again due to Max’s help she had more to go on.

She had another plan

Jodi spoke to her sister Jane and asked for a massive favour. Jane agreed. But Phil her husband was not happy.

Jodi and Jane went to Penumbra….

“Hi” Jane smiled. She noticed the receptionist had a name plate sitting in front of her saying “Lisa”

“Can I help you?” Lisa asked

“Yes, I’m here for the position”

“Domestic?”

“Yes, that’s the one” Jane smiled

Lisa looked her over “You’re very pretty” she said

“Er… thanks” Jane said. Jane was pretty. But, her sister was stunning.

Jane noticed that Lisa looked incredibly neat. Her hails were professionally done. She had make-up applied. Jane made an effort to take in details for her sister. She noticed that Lisa wore a black choker. At the front of the choker was a small pendant that simply read “542”

“Fill this in please” Lisa said handing Jane a clip-board “When you’re done if you bring it back to me…” she said

“Thank you” Jane said “Could I borrow a pen?”

Lisa slapped the pen on the counter. She seemed a little annoyed to give away another pen “Bring that back too” she said

Jane took it and walked back past other candidates, and her sister. She followed their agreed plan and she ignored her sister; pretending they did not know each other. They were just all girls after a job.

And Jodi for her part she simply sat there, not going up and grabbing an application. She hoped no one would notice that she was just sitting there, especially as she was secretly recording. Max had provided her with some state-of-the-art equipment, and some that she had built herself.

“Jane Robinson?” came a call

Jane stood up. She looked to Jodi (forgetting their plan) but Jodi remembered it and pretending not to see her

Jane realised why and then proceeded up to the front desk. She was lead into an ante-room

An hour passed.

Then another.

Jodi went up to the reception desk. Lisa was on the phone. “Yes, wait a minute” she said on the phone before turning to Jodi “Yes?”

“I’d like to know where one of the candidates went to”

“I’m sorry, but that’s confidential”

“Confidential?” Jodi gasped, “My sister hasn’t come back…”

“Your… your sister?” Lisa gulped

“Yes…” Jodi said “She went in two hours ago”

“Look, I’ll get back to you” she said into the phone

“What do you mean your sister?” she asked, turning back to Jodi

“We came here together…” Jodi said “Her name is Jane. She is Jane Robinson”

Lisa looked visibly shaken,

Her left arm trembled.

Jodi noticed the choker Lisa wore and it reminded her of the one her friend Lori wore.

“I’m sorry” Lisa said “There must be some kind of mistake…”

“What?” Jodi said

“I think you should go”

Jodi got angry “I am not leaving here without my sister…!”

“What’s this?” … a woman came out of the ante-room “The Mast….” she began. He voice trailing off as she saw Jodi

Jodi noticed the woman wore a choker. And she had a number on it “183”. Angela looked to be in her fifties, but was still very beautiful, It was obvious she kept herself trim.

Security came. Two women clad in black

“Please, Miss… we need you to leave”

“I’m not going without my sister”

“If you don’t leave now we’re going to use force”

And to emphasise the point one of them used force pushing Jodi back

Jodi noticed these two women also had chokers “503” and “592” respectively

“Are you some kind of cult?” Jodi asked

“Move”

“Halt” came a commanding voice

The two women stood immediately at attention.

Jodi looked around and next to “183” there stood a man who looked like he was in his late fifties.

“That will do” he said

The two guards nodded and left immediately

“Can I help you at all?” the man asked, approaching Jodi

“I’m looking for my sister”

“And why would you think she was here?”

“I came with her here”

The man looked perplexed. He immediately huddled with “183” and Lisa and they went over some clipboards

Jodi tried to hear. She heard “899” being mentioned.

“See to it” he added

“183” nodded.

She turned smiling and went up to Jodi

“Hi, I’m Angela” she grinned, holding out her hand.

“Jodi… Jodi Mears…. Channel 21”

“Ah… a reporter?” Angela gasped, looking slightly less comfortable.

A journalist” Jodi corrected

“I’m sure” Angela said

“Now, where is my sister?” Jodi demanded “You’ve had her three hours now!”

“Oh, she is fine… an excellent candidate…she is… right this way…”

Jodi hesitated

“Come, please” Angela smiled almost fawningly

Jodi followed.

They moved into a very large room where a number of women stood being measured for maid outfits

Some were naked, some semi-naked

All stood almost still as they were being probed and measured

“Some of our successes” Angela said

Jodi was intent on looking for her sister

“Can I… can I get you something to drink?” Angela said and on queue a woman came up with a tray large glass of orange liquid

“No… thanks” Jodi said

“I’m sure you’ll find this quite delicious…” Angela said, taking the glass and offering it to Jodi

“No!” Jodi said more forcefully “I want my sister”

“Certainly” Angela said hiding her annoyance. She handed the glass back and the ‘servant’ looked worried, as if she was going to be blamed

Jodi went into another room, a change room, showers, and a large bath, full of orange liquid

And there she sat up to her stomach, Jane… with two other women.

All naked

Jodi was shocked just on seeing her sister there exposed like that.

“Jane!” Jodi gasped and went up to her

“Jodi?” Jane said “What are you doing here?

“I… I was worried about you…”

“Worried… how come?”

“You were missing for three hours’

“Three hours?” Jane smiled “Has it been that long?”

As she said this the two women got up out of the pool of orange and they were shaven, totally naked

Jane didn’t seem to care

“Would you like to join me?” Jane said “Now that they’ve gone… there’s plenty of room”

“No thanks… look!” she said “I’m really angry…”

“Angry”

“I was really worried about you…”

“Worried… why?” Jane said “It’s wonderful here… “

Jodi was taken aback. Her sister now wore a little black choker with a small pendant that bore the number “899”

Jodi knew that her sister never wore chokers. Jodi, sitting there on the edge of the large bath grew nervous.

“In fact… “Jane continued “I can’t wait to start with my new Master’

“Your what?”

“I’ve been assigned a job”

“Job???

“Yes, I’m going to serve a fine house…”

“What are you talking about… you’ve got a job”

“Well… now I’ve got a new job”

“And what about Phil?”

“Phil?”

“Your husband…”

“I’m getting a divorce”

“A divorce?”

“Yes, don’t look so shocked.. lots of people have them”

“But you and he… were so…”

“So?” Jane asked “What… in love?”

“Yes”

“Well… I don’t love him anymore”

“Since when?”

“I just realised” Jane said… “Say” she smiled as she scooped up some ‘bathwater’ and poured it over her breasts “Why don’t you get in?”

“What…?” Jodi gasped “Nooo…”

“It’s wonderful….” Jane said as she massaged her breasts

“Come… we’re going home” Jodi said

“I’m not going anywhere” Jane said angrily… “You can’t make me”

“Please…” Jodi said “I don’t know what they’e done to you…”

“They’ve not done anything to me” Jane smiled “Come, hop in…”

“You’re throwing away your whole life?”

“I just realised what I’m meant for…” Jane said “And now I’m happy”

She splashed about in the orang bath

“Please, something’s not right…” Jodi said

Angela returned with two girls. The girls got undressed and stepped into the bath with Jane.

“It’s time to go now” Angela said to Jodi

Jodi was alert that the two girls wore chokers too. One had “902” and the other “903”.

Jodi grew uneasy. She had it forming in her mind of a while, but now it seemed more obvious—these women were being influenced by something.

Jodi agreed to leave.

The girls all splashed each other and as they did Jane flicked some of the orang liquid at her sister, catching her on the chest just above the rim of her dress.

Jodi got to her feet and wiped herself down and her sister grinned at her menacingly.

“Mind control?” Max scoffed as Jodi made her way back to her car.

“Well… how else would you explain Jane’s sudden behavioural changes… and Lisa’s”

“Look… whatever…” Jodi said

“I’ll come over tomorrow” Max said “I have some interesting information I want to give you”

“Can’t you tell me now?”

“Your phone is not secure” Max said.

“Oh, okay”

Jodi got home and went to the bathroom. She felt sick and she heaved up. Looking at herself in the mirror she noticed some red splotches on her chest.

She went to bed, and had a restless sleep.

Max arrived at Jodi’s apartment at 7pm the following night.

She knocked on the door and was surprised to see Jane open the door.

“Jane?” Max gasped

“Oh, hello, come in” Jane siad

Max noticed that Jane wore a revealing little number, and she had a small choker on

“That’s an unusual pendant” Max said

“Do you like it?” Jane smiled. It bore the number “899”

“Er… yeah…” Max said “Is Jodi in? She’s expecting me”

“Oh, do come in dear” Jane said

Max stepped in and followed Jane to the lounge/kitchen area.

She looked about

“Jodi’s in her bedroom” Jane said being courteous without smiling.

Max was familiar with the place and went down the hall.

She opened the door up

“Oh, sorry” she gasped embarrassed on finding Jodi there naked folding up a dress

“Come in…” Jodi said

Max smiled. She wouldn’t mind seeing her friend naked… She always thought Jodi was stunning

Jodi had some stained bedclothes too

“I was a bit sick last night” she explained “Jane came over and stayed with me…” she said

Max just gave a smile

She noticed Jodi was clean-shaven.

She almost drooled seeing Jodi’s pussy lips

“Oh…” Max said “You’ve got an identical choker to your sister”

“Yes…” Jodi smiled “Do you like it?”

Jodi stepped up to Max. Her generous breasts almost touching her lesbian friend

Max saw it has the number “918” on it.

“Oh, it’s a different number” Jodi said

Jane came into the room “Would you like a drink?” she asked holding out a cup of orange liquid

“Yes, thanks” Max said “That’s would be great”

Jane handed it to her and as Max drank she looked with a wry smile at her sister

“Mmmm-mmmm” Max gasped “That’s really nice”

“Yes, isn’t it” Jane said as she took the glass and handed it to her sister who set it down beside the bed

Jane reached around behind her head and unzipped her top

Max burped and embarrassed excused herself

She then as startled as Jane took her top off and revealed she had no bra underneath

She handed her top to her sister and then turned and Jodi unzipped her skirt

Jane didn’t wear panties

Jane was also clean-shaven

“Ummmm” Max said “What’s going on?”

“We welcome you sister” Jane said

“Huh?” and then Max noticed her head swooned

She felt drunk

“What?” she gasped

Jane stepped forward and began removing Max’s cloths

“Hey… “ Max gasped “Oh, shit” she belched as she felt really drunk

Jodi was on the phone

“Yes, another slave is transforming” she said “Yes I will arrange it…”

She put the phone down

“923” Jodi said to Jane

“Good” Jane said

Jodi grabbed Max as she fell backwards

“Easy” Jodi said “You’re transference will be a lot more easy than mine”

Jane gave Jodi a look as they carried Max to the bed

“Well, just splashing me….” Jodi said

“Well I did offer you the drink”

“What’s happening?” Max groaned as the sisters stripped her

“You’ll understand soon…” Jodi said “You are meant to be a slave”

“A slave?” Max gurgled

“Yes” Jane said “We are all slaves, really to be assigned masters”

“I…” Max gasped “I… feel horny”

“Yes” Jodi said as she spread Max’s legs “Give in to it… the pleasure will help you transfer”

Jodi looked at her sister

“Go on” June said

Jodi nodded and moving her hands under Max’s legs lifted them up as she slid forward between them

She lapped at Max’s pussy

“Ugh” she gasped and pulled a string hanging out of Max’s cunt

She handed the soiled tampon to her sister who threw it in the bin

Jodi lapped again at Max’s labia

“Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm” Max sighed in a half-conscious drug-induced state

June sat down on the bed next to them and she reached across Max and caressed her Max’s left breast

“Once she comes she’s done” June grinned as she watched Max moaning.

Jodi pushed a finger in, just under where her tongue was. She lapped at Max’s clit as she fingered warm wet cunny

Max’s back arched

“Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!” she cried out “Yessssssssss”

The three lay in bed together that night and in the morning Max woke and with Jane’s help shaved her cunt.

“We need to look our best for the masters” Jane smiled cheerfully as she tended to her friend’s pubic hair

Jodi watched from the bathroom doorway and as she did she played with herself.

Max looked up at her friend and smiled

There was a knock on the door.

Jodi turned and went there and shortly returned with a woman who bore the number “211”

“Is this her?” she asked as she entered the barroom

“Yes’ Jodi said

Max stood up at attention as June stepped back

The woman gave Max a choker. Max looked at he small metal plate on it. It had the number “923”

“This is yours now” the woman said

Max reached behind her to put it on and June helped.

“You are a slave now” the woman said

“Yes” Max smiled.

“We’ll have to remove those horrible pieces of metal” she said with consternation as she looked at Max’s piercings

“Yes” Max said

“And those tattoos…”

“Yes” Max said

“We’ll have a bit of work to do on you before we can assign you”

“Yes” Max said

The woman turned to Jodi

“918?” the woman asked

“Yes 211”

“We have an assignment for you already”

“Oh, that’s wonderful” Jodi gasped

June hugged her “Congratulations” she said

“A business man in Alberta has successfully bid for you…” she continued

“Yes, that’s wonderful” Jodi said. She didn’t care where her master was, she was just happy to have one.

“Come” the woman said

And they followed her. As they did she got on the phone and made arrangements for further ‘treatments’ for Max, and an arrangement for plane tickets for Jodi

Jane was a little annoyed she’d yet to be assigned.

Conclusion

Colin James watched the ladies get into a white van. He tailed them. The van headed to the hills and Colin recognised the place they parked outside of… it was his ex-wife’s house.

“What the hell?” he gasped. His daughter, her two friends Jodi and her sister, and another.

Colin waited in his car for about twenty minutes and decided to get out to investigate.

As it was his exes he had no access to the house so he crept about outside. He stumbled over a small side-fence

“Shit” she spat.

Stopping at the bedroom window he looked about and found a wooden chair and he used that to prop himself up

He looked in the bedroom window and was shocked

Beth lay naked on the bed naked, writing, enjoying herself. A woman between her legs licking her out (he could tell because her head bobbed up and down). Others stood around and watched, including Jod and her sisteri, who were naked. He couldn’t hear what was being said.

He pressed his ear to the window pane

“Oh, God, yessss” Beth moaned

“Make her come and the transference will be complete” came a voice he didn’t recognise.

“Oh, fuckkkkkk” Beth cried

Problem was he couldn’t both see and hear at the same time. He peeled his ear away to watch again.

Beth’s back suddenly arched upwards and her whole body shuddered and then slammed back into the bed.

Then, to his horror the woman pleasuring Beth looked up. It was Lori. His daughter Lori threw back her hair and then bent down and continued on Beth. Beth’s back arched. She mouthed a moan, grabbing Lori’s head and pulling her face in against her crotch.

Colin turned to one side and violently threw up. He fell off the chair and landed in part in his own sick. He continued to heave. He had never felt worse in his life.

His mind raced… what the hell was happening? He gasped

His eyes stung too, from crying.

He made his way back towards the front and found a hose and washing his eyes and his face.

“What the fuck’s wrong with them?” he cried

As he stumbled back over the side fence he caught his pants leg and they ripped. He fell, but his leg was still caught.

He struggled to right himself up enough to pull his leg free.

When he got to the front the van had gone.

“Beth” he cried to himself… “How could you…?”

He stumbled to the front door, his stomach retching, and pummelled on the door with the balls of his fists

The door opened and his ex stood there in an open white robe. She was naked underneath. She did nothing to cover herself up. She was clean shave too. He baulked for a moment looking at her hairless slit. He’d never seen her shaven there before.

“Yes?” she asked as she still mad no attempt to cover herself.

His eyes guided up her curves.

She wore a small black choker. He noticed it had the number “930” on it

“Yes?” she asked again

“Beth… what did you do?”

“What do you mean?”

“I… I saw you and Lori… and Jodi… and…. the others”

“Oh, what did you see?” she asked, changing her posture, putting her hand on her hip

“You were together…” He wanted to say more. But he felt so ill. He felt a mouthful of bile. He turned and spat

“Oh, how could you do this… with our daughter…?” he cried after clearing his throat.

“You saw that?” she asked tapping her hand on her hip, as if she was accusing him!

“Don’t deny it…”

“Go away” she said “You are unwelcome here”

“How could you?” he cried

She went to close the door

He flung himself at the door. He forced his arm in, between the door and the frame

She seemed really strong. She grabbed his arm and squeezed. He screamed in pain, pulled his arm back and she slammed the door

He nursed his arm. There were divots in his flesh from her fingers.

“I’ll tell everyone!” he screamed “I’ll ruin you…”

Beth went to a phone.

He wouldn’t have told the exact story because that also would have destroyed his daughter—so he thought.

He launched himself back at the door.

“Beth!” he cried banging on the door “Open the door”

He now thought to do her harm.

A short while later a police car came up, lights flashing, siren fading as it was turned off.

Two police women came running up, weapons drawn

“Hand up, behind your head” one yelled

“What’s this?”

“I said hands up” she yelled

The police threw him against the door

One grabbed his wrists and cuffed him behind his back.

“What have I done?”

“You messed up big” one cop said

“I demand…” he began

“You shouldn’t mess with the system” the other said, “Now you’re going to have to be punished”

“What? What are you taking about?”

As they held him there he saw one pull out a syringe

“What’s that?” he asked

“Stop resisting!” she barked

“Please….” he cried “What is that?”

“Stop resisting” she yelled again

She put the end in her mouth and used her teeth to pull off the orange plastic cap

“What are you doing?” he cried again. Both held him fast

The cop with the syringe plunged it straight into his neck

He cried in pain—as the liquid entered him it burned

They released him

He felt groggy. His throat pulsated still with pain, but it was a dull pain. They took the cuffs off of him

He turned to see come out of the back of the car another woman, small—petite, long dark hair. She almost looked like a schoolgirl.

She came up to the house and then Beth opened the door

“Come in, sisters” Beth said.

The two cops carried him in and dumped him on the couch

Beth was already pulling his pants off

One of the cops helped Beth

“What…..?” Colin slurred “What’s going on….?”

Colin’s cock was rock hard. He felt that it was hard.

The cop there helped with his undies and then Beth put her mouth over him and started to suck

Her mouth went up and down his shaft almost mechanically

“Let me do that” the cop said “You go help prepare Lola”

Lola the small woman stripped and Beth and the second cop helped.

“What…?” Colin groaned. He looked down at the cop sucking his cock

His cock burned

She was beautiful. But her mouth went up and down on him like a machine.

Lola stood naked… except for a chocker bearing the number “411”

When she was ready she turned to the second cop and nodded

The cop pulled out an expandable baton and extending it she swung it hard against Lola’s side

Lola cried in pain. She collected herself, stood back and then nodded.

Again she was struck hard, this time around the thighs.

Again she cried out in pain. She staggered, then collecting herself stood up again.

The cop waited

She nodded

The cop swung again.

As she was beaten Beth took Lola’s clothes and went outside to the garden and rubbed dirt on parts of them. She also took a rock and ground it against the clothes.

Inspecting them with a smile she came back in and then seeing Lola prostrate on the ground, in pain. As she watched she tore at the clothes she had in her hand.

Lola unsteadily picked herself back up. “One more” she gritted her teeth. She was bloodied and bruised.

“He’s ready” the first cop said

Beth grabbed a condom and rolled it onto her ex husband’s cop and together she and the cop masturbated Colin

“Ooooooo” he moaned and he came

Both women watched with glee as the end of the condom filled with warm white fluid.

They were careful in removing the condom

“Don’t waste any” the first cop said

“I know” Beth said annoyed

The scorned cop pulled out a dildo from a bag and handed it to Lola

Lola nodded and twisting around she bent over and pushed the dildo up into her asshole. She did it hard, as hard as she could bear.

She winced in pain.

“What….?” Colin gasped again as he looked at what was going on around him.

Beth handed the condom to Lola who took it and then coated the end of the dildo with sperm before shoving it hard back up her ass

She cried in pain again

Beth took some semen and massaged it onto Lola’s ass

“Put some nearer her vagina” the first cop said

Beth did so.

“Make sure to get some…” the cop began

“I know…” Beth said annoyed.

Finally Lola pulled the condom out of her ass.

She went over to Colin and scratched him across the face.

The first cop had tweezers and she plucked some of Colin’s public hairs

Lola bent over and the cop stuck these with the come already there to Lola’s skin.

They also put some on the clothes they had on the floor, the ones Lola had worn.

“Please… what’s going on?” Colin asked in a drunken almost delirious state.

Lola hobbled in pain. She eased her dress back on, it was torn (it had been torn by Beth)

“Make the call” the first cop said

Beth nodded

She went over to her phone and dialled “9-11” She cried in anguish as she made the call.

By the time the cops came the two slave-cops had left (with Colin).

Lola went out into the back garden and eased herself down into the dirt. She pinched herself to make herself cry more.

The cops came running up to the house and Beth, with tears in her eyes told them her ex had brought a young girl to her backyard and raped her

They found Lola outside screaming hysterically

Colin was found a block away. A second jab had been given and he was sobering up quickly.

Three cops threw him to the ground and one was ready to beat him to death; having seen what Colin had done to Lola.

Lola was helped to an ambulance and taken to hospital.

Tests shows that Lola had been brutalised, and anally raped. Beaten severely. She had lacerations, and a fractured collar-bone, tremendous trauma to her ass, and ‘DNA evidence’ inside her rectum and around her anus.

The rape clinic had found the traces of semen in her rectbm, which was torn and bleeding.

Lola gave a harrowing account of how Colin had picked her up from a park and taken her to his ex’s wife (the motive was he couldn’t do it with Beth so he picked someone else to take her there to do it with her).

On the witness stand Lori reported how her father had been obsessed with Beth and maybe taking someone and ding them by fore in Beth’s years was his way of coping.

Jodi gave testimony about Colin touching her breasts when she was younger.

Even Colin’s own legal counsel looked at him with disgust.

Colin ceased being able to investigate his wife and daughter, and Penumbra.

* * *

Jodi for her part was accompanied by Gail, her friend.

Gail wrapped her arm around Jodi as they walked down the stairs of the court to a taxi

“Are you okay?” Gail asked

“Yes” Jodi said “It’s been a traumatic time for us all”

“I feel so sorry for that girl” Gail said

“Yes… it could have been me… that’s the scary thing” Jodi said as they got in the cab.

“Well, at least you’ve stood up to him now…” Gail smiled “Thirty years isn’t long enough”

“I hope he’s learned his lesson” Jodi said

“What do you want to do now?”

“Let’s go home…” Jodi said “I’d like you to try an new drink…”

“A new drink?”

“Yes, I”m sure you’ll love it…”

“Oh, okay”

Jodi turned and looked out the window smiling

“Oh, how did your interview go?” Gail asked

Jodi turned and looked at Gail

“I got a job… in Hawaii”

“Hawaii?”

“Yes, with a lovely family”

“What?” Gail gasped “I thought it was a journalist job?”

“No… I have given all that up… I’m going to be someone’s mail”

“A maid?”

“Yes” Jodi sighed “I can’t wait”

“Huh?” Gail gasped

This was news to her

Jodi had such a smile of contentment

Gail noticed this

Who was she to judge? She shrugged her shoulders as they drove along

“Don’t forget I’ve got a nice drink for you to try…” Jodi said with a smile….

The End
