Kim answers, and she acts surprised

“Hello?”

Lucy blinked in confusion, “Wait... K-Kim?!”

The bubbly voice of her blonde best friend gasped brightly back, “Lucy? Wait, whose phone are you using?”

The naked girl shook her head in bewilderment; Max had put Kim’s number on the tag?! Why?! She felt her cheeks growing redder with a mixture of shame and anger with him, was it meant to be a joke? – Like ringing the person that Lucy lived with made sense if she was a real pet. Just the fact that he’d put a number on it at all had Lucy’s mind racing in disbelief. She could’ve just about stomached it if it was his number… but Kim’s?!

“I… I didn’t know I was calling you…” Lucy said; her voice quivering as she tried to find the right words, “Y-y-you locked me out…”

“What?” Kim gasped theatrically, “Oh hun, I’m so sorry! I went to find Max sweetie…” She paused, “I wanted to try and surprise you with the key to your collar! That hasn’t gone completely to plan but… anyway… I didn’t mean to leave you alone. Are you alright?”

The cop in the front seat clicked her tongue impatiently, forcing Lucy to talk faster.

“I… I can’t talk… I have…” She swallowed in total humiliation, just the idea of revealing her predicament to Kim made Lucy feel dizzy, “Kim I need your help… where are you?”

“What’s wrong?” Kim shot back quickly and in the background Lucy thought she heard other muffled voices.

“I’m in the back of a police car – I…” Lucy stopped, biting her lip to calm herself, “I don’t have any clothes… please… please come get me?”

Down the line Kim made a noise that made Lucy recoil from the phone, she couldn’t make out if she’d just giggled or sneezed.

“Hun… Why didn't you stay in the dorm like we agreed?” Kim's voice took on an edge again, making Lucy tremble, as though somehow this was her own fault.

“Emily said... Emily said you'd gone to Max's... I didn't have a choice!”

“Well... I don’t have a car… you know that…”

Lucy whined helplessly, “It doesn’t matter just… bring me some clothes? Please Kim!”

“What do you need?” Kim asked reluctantly, making Lucy blush brighter.

“Everything! All I have on is this stupid collar” the naked girl whimpered under the watchful gaze of the female police officer, “Kim I’m naked!”

Lucy waited for Kim to reply. The agonizing silence may only have been a few seconds but to the **** girl it felt like hours. She shifted slightly in her seat, the leather making a soft squeak, bare body blushing from head to toe.

“Where are you?”

Lucy swallowed, trying to mask hurried anxiety rising insider her naked chest, “The east entrance of campus… uh… on the corner of 29th Street?” Lucy tried desperately to describe it, "By the café?"

“Ok… you stay right there. I’ll be as quick as I can. Just… stay…” Kim stated quickly and Lucy blushed brighter.

“Ok… um, Kim?” Lucy pulled her head away from the phone, realizing the tone in her ear had changed, “Kim?”

“Looks like she hung up,” The female cop said simply and withdrew the phone, causing Lucy to stammer out a whimper of agreement. The tightness of panic in her chest released a little, Kim was on her way… Lucy just hoped she’d be quick…

The atmosphere in the stately office was cold; a woman in a finely tailored blazer sat stony faced behind her imposing desk, drumming her finely manicured nails against its mahogany surface.

“And the UN?”

“The resolution was fast-tracked, considering the urgency; it’ll go to a vote this afternoon,” a grim faced barrel of a man spoke up, clutching a document marked ‘Secret’. The advisers in the room stayed silent but exchanged glances.

“I assume it’ll pass.”

“Obviously Madam Secretary. It’s just a formality at this point, it has unilateral support – there’s not a government on earth that doesn’t support it.”

“I still think this is unnecessary, all this fuss of having it put into international law like this - Lucy Carpenter is a pet, everyone already agrees!”

“I understand your frustration but considering their physical distance from her, other nations just want to do something to show their commitment and support… Having it in law may give some more weight when the time comes to help persuade her.”

The woman rocked back in her chair and steepled her fingers, “Fine. But if she finds out about this too soon…”

“She won’t be long…” Lucy pleaded with the cop in quiet desperation. The naked brunette looked around; the little bone shaped tag on her pink collar tinkling lightly as she turned her head. Outside the protective cocoon of the cop car were throngs of people and cars moving around them – they were in the middle of a busy public street at rush hour!

“Look you've had your phone call. Get out of the car!” The cop scoffed, “My partner is pursuing a suspect, he needs back-up and you’re getting in my way!”

“Y-y-you can’t be serious… I can’t!” Lucy pleaded frantically. “I’m naked! I thought… I thought you’d let me wait for Kim!”

“You can! On the sidewalk!" the female cop snapped; her voice firm and authoritative, “Get out. Now!”

Her biting tone made Lucy instinctively dive towards the door handle in submission, terrified and head swimming, she couldn’t believe the police would leave her naked and abandoned on the side of a busy public street! This had to be a nightmare!

With a squeal of horror Lucy opened the rear door of the car and climbed out. Her bare feet making contact with the cool concrete sent a wave of cold through her warm body, overheated from her constant blush and adrenaline fueled humiliation. The dancing breeze that had teased her exposed legs, ass, feet and pussy all day now seemed to return with a vengeance, caressing every bare curve of her toned skin.

Behind her she heard the door of the car click shut and the siren blare into life, startling her and only drawing even more eyes and attention straight to her naked body. The cop car revved up and sped away, leaving the naked girl bare and alone, her only adornment the garish pink collar locked around her neck.

Lucy heard gasps but dare not look up or around, she tried to use her hair to hide her face and kept her hands firmly clamped to her breasts, her legs crossed at the upper thighs in a vain attempt to shield her glistening sex from the eyes of the strangers walking all around her.

"This is a nightmare... this is a nightmare... this is a nightmare!"
