To the car park!

As I had gotten out of the aviary I wondered whether I should drop on all fours. Before I had time to properly think it over, Ms. Bullstrong started walking. As she did so, I looked at the chain and realized there wasn’t all that much slack. I felt a tug on my neck that felt probably more aggressive than it really was. I figured this meant I was going on two feet, and quickly tried to pace up with her.

While trying to keep up with her I noticed that the rain was now falling directly on my body. Whereas Ms. Bullstrong was wearing a zookeeper uniform covered in a decent rain coat, I was still – of course – naked. From inside my cage it had looked as if it was only drizzling. But if you’d ask me now, I would say that it was pouring. Probably it was something in between.

We were walking through the zoo. I had no idea where, but that apparently wasn’t all too important, as I simply had to follow my chain-link leash. There were puddles everywhere that I tried to walk around a bit. Ms. Bullstrong walked in a straight line, however, and given the very short slack in the chain there wasn’t much point in trying to walk around them. Even though I was naked and Ms. Bullstrong was fully clothed, I got the impression that she didn’t like walking in the rain. She was taking the kind of leaps only a giant can make. I had to either walk very quickly, or run very slowly, but still I struggled to find the right pace.

I looked around and saw that we passed quite a few enclosures. Most were seemingly empty; the animals probably hiding from the rain. I figured it would be fun some day to see if I could break out of my enclosure in the future, and simply take a stroll around the zoo enjoying my naked freeom. Admission fees probably didn’t apply to zoo exhibits!

It was still a strange feeling. All my life I had learned that the first thing I was supposed to do when I got up in the morning was to put on some clothes. My mom had berated me every time I was about to leave the house and she thought I was missing just a few centimeter of skirt or showing a bit too much cleavage. Yet here I was, fully naked. Walking in a very public place, with not a single stitch of clothing on my body.

I felt that Ms. Bullstrong was quite hard to read. At one point I thought she was about to hit me with the chain. And yet, when she was asking – or should I say, threatening – me to come out of the aviary she had sounded pretty kind. I wasn’t sure how long I was going to have to follow her in her step. And given how she was a zookeeper here at the zoo, I might as well apologize for my somewhat snarky remark, hoping she’d be less grumpy.

“I’m sorry for my remark earlier about being a wild animal, I hadn’t meant to make you upset”, I said. I had almost wanted to add “Ms. Bullstrong” to it, but realized the chances of that being her real name were rather slim.

“Oh, but that’s quite alright honey.”, she said. I breathed a sigh of relief. She may be a big muscled woman, but now she was simply talking like a nice decent woman talking to another human being.

“It’s just that I had taken a few days off and was out hiking. So I had kinda missed the news about our new exhibit. Today was the last day of my few days off and I was on standby. Usually that means that you can just go about your day, and they only call you in when many people call in sick. Or when an animal breaks out or whatever. Either way, neither one of these things hardly ever happen. And today just as I was doing some grocery shopping, they called me to take you out of your cage and take you home. And then I came to your enclosure, and I thought someone was making some kind of practical joke. A bad one at that.”

Her story made sense. It explained why it had taken so long for someone to show up to set me free. I would have been upset as well if they’d called me in on a day that I was basically off-duty, except for absolute emergencies. Especially, if it had only been for some kind of joke. In a way I felt pity for her. Even though I had been (and still was) **** to go home, I hadn’t intended for someone to drop everything they were doing and show up to the zoo just to let me out and take me home.

“I did some asking around while getting the lead”, she continued, “and it turns out that it appears that Mac is finally getting what he has been trying to get for years. You see, Mac has been saying that people are basically also some kind of animal and that we should have an enclosure with humans as well. But even though the zoo’s CEO did like the idea he’s just been making the argument that there were too many legal and practical challenges with making such a thing reality. I think almost all zookeepers have been in support of Mac, so everybody is quite happy with you now that Mac’s idea seems to become true!”

It was great to hear Ms. Bullstrong talk so enthusiastically. From what had been a very angry woman, she now was talking very openly and positively to me. I wasn’t certain which zookeepers would look after me when I became a permanent resident, but if it was going to be Ms. Bullstrong, I thought we’d be okay. But from what I heard, it sounded like other zookeepers were quite positive about me being around here as well.

While walking, we passed a sign that said ‘employees only’ and I wondered where we were going precisely. Just a few meters beyond the sign was a building. The building was behind a large hedge away from public view and it appeared to be the central employee office. We didn’t enter it, though, but walked past its main entrance. A few meters next to the door was a large rusty iron ring attached to the wall that we stopped by. Ms. Bullstrong took out another padlock from her jacket and locked the chain-link leash to the iron ring.

“Don’t go anywhere”, she said with a smirk on her face, “I’m going to get you your clothes”

As she said that, she walked towards the office entrance, and I was once again left waiting.

I looked around for a bit, it was a new scenery for me after all. But this scenery was pretty boring. On one side was the brick wall of the office building. Then there was a stretch of concrete that I was standing on, and on the other side of the concrete was a large hedge. Probably there would be few visitors around, and given how it was still raining a little there was no activity whatsoever for me to observe. I just looked around, moving my weight from one leg to another. Out of pure boredom I played around with my tits for a bit. But honestly, with no onlookers that was a ‘game’ that became pretty dull pretty quickly. Especially for someone who had gotten quite accustomed to her boobs. When I had been 15 it might have been fun to play with because they were all new and stuff, but that was a long time ago...

A few minutes later Ms. Bullstrong came out of the building again, only carrying my purse. But no clothes.

“I guess I’ve got some bad news for you. Turns out they gave your clothes away like an hour or so. Apparently there was this young woman about your size who had gotten fully drenched in the rain. They didn’t realize you still needed them, and I can see why”. Honestly, so did I. I couldn’t blame them for giving my clothes away. The young woman probably needed it way more than I did. I was glad to that they did find my purse, though.

Ms. Bullstrong put the key in the padlock that she had just locked me to the wall with, and unlocked the lock. Before she did so, however, she also took hold of the chain, that was still hooked to my collar. So that meant that once more I was only going wherever Ms. Bullstrong was going.

It was only a short walk before we entered the employee car park. I had no idea which car was hers. Still taking pretty large strides Ms. Bullstrong never stopped walking and made a dash to a large SUV with zoo logos and colors covered all over it.

“Come on, hop in”, she said as she opened the trunk.

I looked inside and saw some dirty sheets lying on the floor of the trunk. To the front of the trunk was a wire mesh that would prevent me from intermingling with any passengers. It was fairly well possible some animals had been transported in this car on the sheets I was to climb on before me. It just looked dirty with mud and stains, etc. And now I was to get on to that? I looked quizzically at Ms. Bullstrong if she was really serious.

“Yes, I’m dead serious”, she said as if she could read my mind, “I have no idea when you had your last shower. Your legs stink really badly like piss, and I don’t plan on sitting next to some naked girl in traffic.

I had hardly hopped into the trunk as I saw her close it behind me. I had thought that the aviary would have been the last thing to restraint me for today. But somehow they had managed to first trap me to a wall, and now I found myself trapped in the back of a car. Still naked, of course.

Ms. Bullstrong got behind the steering wheel and drove off. I looked out of the rear window, while my personal escort and taxi driver was taking me home. I suppose it was the first time in my life I was looking through the rear window for the entire trip while driving around.

We were probably halfway there when all of a sudden I saw a police car that was driving behind us. I ducked. I was pretty sure that to the police I was a human being that was supposed to be strapped into a seat belt into a seat - as opposed to being loose in the trunk. For now I could only hope that they hadn’t seen me, or at least wouldn’t pull us over and arrest me. I was done getting locked up in all sorts of places for the day.
