No escape

Melville led Amanda through a secret passageway that opened up into the servant's quarters of the mansion. The servants had seen this happen before, so none who were witness to Amanda being led around naked by a leash were surprised. Well, no one except for the maid who had been Amanda's inside contact. She watched helplessly as the collared and shackled woman was led away to the dungeons below.

Amanda looked back at her, quietly mouthing out the words "Help me!" She wasn't sure if the masquerading contact could help her out of this situation. She could only hope.

The dungeon was a place where the mansion's inhabitants often took the women they wanted to keep to themselves for training. If they were hard to train, they were usually shipped out, and sold at the **** markets. It was also a place where they took suspicious characters to be interrogated. There were lots of **** devices throughout the dungeon. Some were relics, left over from the Inquisition. Others were more modern. Each served a purpose, and that was to instill fear into the hearts and minds of would be slaves or nefarious infiltrators. Fear was a great way to train a ****, or extract information.

"I must say my dear, I had a lovely time fucking your ass." Melville looked back at her, and smiled. "Did you enjoy it as much as I did?"

"Why don't you let me shove a baseball bat up yours first? That way we'll have a common frame of reference to discuss the enjoyment of anal sex," Amanda retorted.

Melville chuckled. "I'm glad you're still feisty. I'm going to have fun breaking you, and molding you into the perfect ****."

Amanda said nothing, but quietly thought to herself about how she could get herself out of this predicament. Her thoughts were interrupted by Melville.

"What? No snappy comeback?" he taunted. "I also want to find out why you wanted to see so much of the mansion. The only way I can find out the truth is by torturing you."

Alarms went off in Amanda's head. "I was simply astounded by what little I saw. I wanted to see the rest of it up close and personal. There was no other motive." She tried her best to sound sincere and convincing. Now she could only hope her training paid off, and that Melville wouldn't find a way to break her.

"Well, that may be," said Melville, "but I've got to make sure. We have too many enemies to let something like this slide." He stopped in front of a paneled section of the wall, and pushed a hidden switch. The paneling slid off to the side to reveal a flight of stone stairs that seemed to stretch down into the darkness forever.

Little did Melville know that the couple were being closely watched by Amanda's inside contact. She watched as the two disappeared through the wall, and saw the panel slide back into place. At least she now knew where to find Amanda. But how was she going to rescue her, without endangering herself? She hurried back to her quarters. She had **** but to alert HQ about this latest development, and let them advise her about what her next step should be.

Once inside her quarters, she pulled out a small device that looked more like an MP3 player than anything else. She put on the ear buds, and pushed a button. "HQ, this is Agent Morelli. Come in HQ."
