Alex

Megan called up our shy nerdy friend from high school, Alex Howard. We kept in contact all these years, and had hung out a few times, but being an accountant at a successful law firm kept Alex pretty busy.

She came over and exchanged a hug with Megan.

"Alex!" Megan said. "It's been a while!"

"Yes, and I apologize," Alex said, pushing her glasses up her nose. "With my work, I rarely have time to visit. Now, what is this about hypnosis?"

"I was taking a few classes at the community college, and I hypnotized John!"

"Fascinating!" Alex said.

"And I was hoping to try and hypnotize you," Megan said.

"Hmm," Alex said. "I suppose that would be all right. But don't have me do anything humiliating or ridiculous."

"Of course not!" Megan led Alex to the couch next to me.

"Ah. Hello, John," Alex greeted me. "How have you been?"

"Good, Alex. How are you?"

"Well enough, I suppose," she said.

Megan began to swing the pendant in front of Alex's face, and soon our friend appeared to go under. I spring the trap.

"Trance." I say. Megan drops down into her mindless trance.

"Alex, can you hear me?" I asked.

"Yes," she said.

"Are you in a trance?"

"Yes."

"Good."

I now have two women under my control.
