As they looked up in surprise, he smiled. "Hello," he said, and then frowned as Flora shook her head wearily. Though her worst fears had come true; a stranger was in their house while she was helplessly trapped in Mandy's devilish equipment, she was too exhausted from her ordeal to do anything but relax within her bondage, taking advantage of the relief from the insidious treadmill. Of course, her relaxing was visible only as a bend at the knees, since her harness held her up, the rigid corset stiffened her back, and her hands were still held fast to her hips by the thick rubber gloves that were glued there. The stranger frowned at her lack of response, then noticed the box at her belt, from which lead connected to her helmet. He flipped the switch on the box, and watched her face. When nothing happened, he began again. "My dear people, I am Mr. Dodds. You have nothing to fear. I am an old friend of Ms. Rafool's, and I'm perfectly aware of her unusual hobbies. I'll be releasing you shortly, but I'm afraid I'm not here to rescue you. You see, I am your new master, at least for a while." He let those words sink in for a moment. Flora was stunned by this strangers appearance from nowhere, and even more surprised by his cool assumption of authority over them. |
