The examination begins

"Examine me?" you ask. "What are you going to do? Please! Just let me go! I won't say a word to anyone about this!" You watch in horror as Tom pushes over a surgical cart that's loaded with all kinds of devices. He places a set of stirrups on the table between your feet, then strips off your heels and tosses them aside as he puts your legs up in the stirrups, spreading your legs wide open. Your skirt is now bunched up around your hips, effectively exposing your powder blue panties. He straps your legs into the stirrups, then straps your arms down to the table. Next he picks up a pair of battery powered cutting shears. He flips the switch, and the blades come to life. "Wait!" you cry out. "You can't cut up my clothes! What am I supposed to wear when you let me go?"

"I've decided I'm not letting you go, Katherine" Tom answers with a maniacal grin. "You don't need clothes. The only thing I have to decide yet is whether I will keep you, or sell you." He places the shears at the hem of your skirt, and starts to cut up through it. "These little babies are amazing. They'll cut through anything." He makes quick work of your skirt, and your belt, then splays it open to either side. He caresses your hips before he cuts through both sides of your panties. He holds them up to his nose, and gives them a sniff after he's yanked them off of you. "You smell wonderful, Katherine." He tosses them aside, and continues cutting up through your blouse, making quick work of that too. All you can do is lay there and cry as he cuts up through your bra, then your bra straps. "There! All naked" he says as he caresses your soft flesh.

You try to find a ray of hope in all of this, but things look pretty much dark and hopeless. Then you remember Nicole being at the restaurant. She knows you were with him! Maybe, just maybe she'll get worried enough about you to start asking questions. Maybe there is hope yet! It's a long shot, but Nicole knows you well enough to know you just wouldn't disappear into the woodwork somewhere without telling someone. You smile for the first time since Tom brought you down here.

Tom notices the sudden change in your attitude. 'What are you smiling about?" he quizzes you.

"I know someone will find me" you say. "Someone you overlooked, and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop it."

In a fit of rage, Tom twists both your nipples hard, causing you to whimper in pain. "Tell me who, or I will **** it out of you!" his voice booms.
