Your former , Kylie

"I'll get it," you say, getting up to open the door.

Kylie stands on the other side, trembling.

"Sorry to bother you. May I... come in?" she asks in a small voice.

"Kylie, what's wrong?" you ask.

"I... I need to tell you something," she says.

You bring her inside. By now, Miki and Claire have put their clothes back on. Betty glares at the woman but her expression softens when she sees the disheveled and quivering state that she's in.

"What's wrong?" you ask.

"You... you're going to be angry," she says.

"Of course not," you say.

"Roldan's alive. He's here. And I- I- I thought he'd changed and...," her voice trails off.

You take a deep breath, rubbing your head. Betty puts a supportive hand on your shoulder.

"I'm not angry, " you say.

"He's worse than before," Kylie sobs.

You turn, "Miki, would you grab her a tissue."

"Yes, Master," she says and does so.

"You poor dear," Lisa says, taking Kylie by the arm and leading her to the couch to sit.

Once she's composed herself a bit, Kylie looks up to you.

"Will you help me again? Please," she begs. "I'll be your **** again. I'll do whatever you want."

"Kylie, " you say.

"Please, I'm begging you. I need your help. I'm forever in your debt," she cries.

"Jesus, woman. Of course he'll help you, for gods sake! But he doesn't want you back as a ****," Betty says.

You nod your head in agreement.

"I guess four slaves is a lot to keep up with as it is," Kylie says.

"Four sl- Oh no. I ain't no ****," Betty says.

"Me either," says Lisa.

"I'm a ****, but not Drako's," Claire says, putting an arm around Lisa.

"I am! Master ties me up and makes me have sex with other girls," Miki chirps.

You pat Miki on the head and she practically purrs.

"That... sounds familiar," Kylie says to Miki.

"Anyway," you prompt impatiently.

"Um... anyway, after we got settled in here I ran into Roldan. We talked and I thought he'd changed. And... and... he hasn't. When I told him I couldn't stay with him, he told me that he'd never let me leave. I had to sneak out while he's on patrol just to come find you. I didn't know who else to turn to," Kylie explains, teary eyed.

"I could go to military command or even Captain Pacco," Betty says.

"Forget it. The military is in such rough shape that they can't handle things like this. And Captain Pacco is barely holding things together. He doesn't have the time," you say.

"Well what can we do then?" Claire asks.

"Kylie, where can I find Roldan?" you ask.

"The bar on 2nd street. As soon as he gets off patrol, he always heads there," Kylie replies.

"I'll be there in a bit, " you say.

"What are you going to do?" Kylie asks.

"Just talk to him," you say.

"I'll come with you," Betty says.

"No need," you say.

"Fine," she replies, crossing her arms in annoyance.

You leave and drive to the bar. When you arrive, you notice a dozen or so soldiers drinking and playing pool.

"Is Roldan here?" you ask the bartender.

"Haven't seen him today, " the bar tender says, not even looking up from his drink.

You order a drink for yourself and find a comfortable enough seat to wait for Roldan. Your drink arrives and you take a sip. That's when you see him enter the door. His military jacket has his name on it.

"There he is," the bartender says.

You stand and walk up to him.

"Yeah?" he says as you approach.

"Roldan, I need to talk to you," you say.

"Who the hell are you?" he asks.

"My name's Drako and I'm a friend of Kylie," you say.

"Really? Does that cunt think that you're going to convince me to let her leave again?" he says angrily.
