the blackmailer

Julie flinched as she heard the disguised voice of the blackmailer “Julie you know I own you. You will get a phone call from Derek Jones. Do exactly what he says. I shall be watching”

The blackmailer smirked as he hung up and re read the exchange of emails. First Derek’s
“I don’t know who you are but you sent an email to my g/f Melinda. Well it didn’t make her upset with me which we guess you wanted. We also guess you want some more fun at Julie Robbins expense. We want some too. We both want to work that “Good Girl” slut over. Send her the same email so she knows what she did is on tape. Tell her to do as we tell her and you will get more tapes”

Then his own reply “She already has the email. She will do what I want. You get her to a party somewhere and tell me when and where it is and I will set the cameras up”

And finally Derek’s answer “tonight 7.00 pm Peter Young’s house 25 Robin Court. Do you have enough time? He’s my friend and he’ll help you set up if you need to”

He wondered what Ashley would do. “Doesn’t seem as if your **** is going the way you thought” he mused before he hit the send button replying to Derek “Plenty of time thanks. Try to get Ashley there too. I have some unfinished business with her”

Dazed by the blackmailer's words Julie sat her mind back in the loop again till she was jolted by a second call “Hi Julie this is Derek. I had never thought you and I would hit it off like we did last night. I’d like you to come to a party at Peter Young’s place and yes its ok with Melinda she knows about you and she’ll be there too. In fact it was her idea to invite you”

The now bewildered Julie managed only to mumble Ok I’ll be there” only to be more confused when Derek went on
“And get Ashley there too. Do not tell Jason” and disconnected

Julie sat there with her phone to her ear as if trying to pluck some idea from it She knew who Peter Young was- everything that her beloved Jason wasn’t. Peter Young could get you almost every **** –at a price, expelled from school after he had seduced a trainee teacher and got her pregnant, he had been jailed for receiving stolen cars. But he did have money probably from his crimes. Julie’s father would never let her go to see “that white trash” so how could she get there… and yet if she didn’t, those tapes would be sent to her parents. What could she do?

Her phone rang yet again “Hey Jules it’s me Ashley”

Even to Julie’s numbed mind Ashley sounded distrait "What’s wrong Ash?"

Ashley paused, for she could hardly tell her friend the truth – that the blackmailer had wanted to screw her as a price for supplying the tape to Melinda, that she had dodged him, that she now knew that Derek, Melinda and the blackmailer were scheming to get Julie and her to this party. “Um, your friend with the pictures sent me an email and some more pictures with you and me in it’ She swallowed nervously then went on “he says he wants us to go to Peter Young’s party tonight or…. “ her voice tailed off.

“Yes I know and I’m scared Ashley”

"So am I. What can we do?"

If I don’t go I think my parents will see the tape he has and that will be the end of me for ever. I need to speak to Jason but they told me not to”

Ashley didn’t like Jason for he had turned her down before “Nah he cant do anything for you. Guess I can pick you up. If we stay together they can’t do much to us”

“See you then”

Julie got ready for work at the mall and went off. All day as she worked her shift different thoughts crowded her mind. One moment she would be remembering with a mixture of shame and lust how she had blown Derek and how she had so wanted him to take her. Then a shock of fear would run through her mind as she imagined her parents’ reaction to the tapes. Again there were the thoughts of Jason and how she loved him, how he had used her but how she looked to him to save her. Next she saw herself again crouching before Ashley licking her out and wondering what it would be like for someone to do the same to herself. Then fear returned in a vision of what the party at Peter Young’s might be like and what might happen there.

Ashley too worried all day but hers were simpler- she had an email from the blackmailer “You broke our bargain. You have one chance to do what I asked. I will see you at Peter Young’s tonight” All she thought was what will he do and who was ‘he’ anyway?
