Chapter 18
“Blank, B2. Now.”

Ah, the familiar call to the gym. We clambered out of our bunk and left the cell. Me, for the last time, I imagine. Back to being in with M tonight and being myself again tomorrow but I knew one thing now. I liked it. Being a blank. Being in control as eleven would be fun too.

Another workout, then sent down for our wash. This time though, we were ordered into separate cubicles and I found out why when it began.

“Eleven, it’s been a week since your first, so clamp your eyes shut. I bet that git didn’t even warn you to do that did he?”

Of course, frozen, I couldn’t respond, but before long the liquid started to pump into the suit and the water into my bowels.

It tingled all over as it filled the suit. Not at all what I’d dreaded. I’d at least expected a sting but I found it pleasant.

It took a lot longer than a normal soapy water flush but then the balm flowed, soothing the skin followed by the usual water, water and warm air cycles and the tubes were unclipped again.

The moment I could move I decided to seek out the chained slaves.

They were in the rec room, two tables pulled together and in the middle of a card game.

I pulled up a chair.

“Deal me in next time.”

They nodded.

“So, who still hates this life?”

The one sitting next to me began to gesture.

“I hate the idea of never seeing my family again.”

“They’re probably better off.”

It looked at me, almost bristled. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“Look. You robbed a store. If they hadn’t caught you, the police probably would. Now, what would’ve happened if he” I indicated blank two, “had killed that man who took his brother down? How long would you all have got in prison? It’s one thing to rob a place, it’s a completely different thing if it’s an armed robbery and even worse if it results in a death!”

“Oh fuck! I… Thanks, I’d never thought of it like that. And I guarantee, that store wouldn’t’ve been the last. They would’ve had their lives ruined.”

“More. You didn’t just rob any store, you robbed a fetish one. Your kids would’ve been bullied mercilessly for years. Look! There’s that kid whose dad’s that pervert! Pervert! Pervert! Think you get the idea.”

It nodded. “Thanks man. Oh god, thanks. It’s still all so new to me but I know I can adjust to this. I might even start to love it. I know for a fact I want more of what we got the other day. One hour of that a week. I’ve got to stop thinking about them but god, that’s going to be hard.”

“Don’t I know it? I had a girl. I know I’ll never see her again and I did… do still love ‘er. It’s hard, this transition but I’m coming to terms with it. You will too. What about everyone else?”

The one opposite, blank five nodded. “Never expected this last week. Biggest surprise of my life.”

“Which bit, the being enslaved or finding you liked a lot of it?”

“Everything. God some of the things they did to me yesterday. I would’ve run a mile if someone suggested any of that.”

“And now?”

“Still run a mile for some of it given the chance but I can’t believe I’m going to say this…”

“Enjoyed the bondage?”

It shook its head. “Hated most of that and my cock confirmed it but I got really turned on by the piss and the spanking.”

A couple of the others recoiled at that.

I looked at them and laughed. “What? It’s not as if you can even taste it now.”

Blank three shuddered. “Still revolting though.”

Blank one then. “When he said a job for life…” It started to laugh. “Oh god was he not kidding. And I’m feeling better now too.”

“Better than what?”

They finished their hand and dealt me in. We didn’t have anything to bet with so it was just for the fun of it. Poker wasn’t practical but twenty-one, perfect.

“They’ve medicated my food. Withdrawal. Heroin. I was a wreck that day of the interview. They say I’ll be off it in a week permanently, just like everything else here’s permanent. What’s more, once I felt that surprise downstairs, I can actually come to terms with never getting a fix again.”

I looked at my cards and tapped the table twice. Another card flew my way. “So, everyone’s better off. I know for a fact I am. Oh god, I loved it down there yesterday. Almost everything in there had my cock bouncing with glee. Yes, I got turned off by the piss too. Can’t say I hated it though.”

My cell mate started then. “I… OK. I admit it. I liked more than I said I did last night.”

“What about your phobia?”

He tapped too and peeked at his card before adding it to its hand. “OK, it still started a little but even the mailsack, I trusted him. I don’t know why, but I knew. He’d never let anyone hurt me.”

“I think I’ll start to like M.” I laughed “They didn’t bother excluding me from a conversation down there yesterday. Eleven and M.”

“Why? What did they say?”

“Something about that fetish shop owner. They think he deserves to be punished.”

“Shit! You don’t think”

“Wouldn’t put it past them. I know for a fact a van based abduction isn’t alien to them. That’s how they stuffed M in his suit. What’s he like?”

“Sleazy doesn’t even come close. Greasy, sweaty, last time he saw a gym was in high school and he didn’t even graduate that, you know the type.”

“Well if you see another blank that stands out from the rest, it’ll probably be him then.”

We continued the game for a while.

“How do you feel about going down to the dungeon again?”

I few of them nodded at the idea, even two did. He started twiddling, he’d certainly improved since he hadn’t got my mime that first day.

“What did you have in mind?”

“Well, those who want to be tied up need someone to tie them. I wouldn’t say no to a good whipping. Maybe see what turns you on, other side of the coin. Giver rather than taker?”

“Fuck! That’s a good one. Come on then.”
* * * * *
After another fucking good session in the dungeon, I was even starting to like my would-be murderer not that I was going to let me put off that punishment I had planned for it.

I accompanied my ex-cellmate back to his. I was going to miss being in there with him.

“Sorry, blank. I’ve been ordered back to my cage. Do you think you can handle being alone in there now?”

“I’ve got a book and the… things happening down there whenever I’m locked up. I’ve got a hell of a lot to look forward to now too. God that was another good day. That treatment they came up with’s fucking genius. I think I’ll be fine, blank. Thank you.”

I gave it a hug.

“So where are you going now?”

“Block four. I’ll try to see you again, but as I said, no idea what they have in store for any of us now. I know one thing though.”

“What?”

“God, it’s going to be fun.”

The moment his cell door was shut, I returned to the first floor, returned to the back room and stood behind the laptop as Joel sat there awaiting the call from Q.

“So how did you like it?” He looked genuinely interested.

“I love this life now. One week. Well, just over a week. I never want out. I know I didn’t say it at the time leading to blank’s punishment… Well, one of the reasons. Now...”

“And now you understand why I want to try it?”

“Fuck me, Sir, go for permanent.” I laughed.

“Baby steps. I’m sure I’ll love it but I wouldn’t want to commit without the experience.”

“I’d like to do that again, sometime, Sir.”

M looked at me. “Do what?”

“What blank’s going to be doing from tonight, sir. Live as one of them. I liked it down there. I’ve really grown to like that blank too.”

“When you say live down there… How long were you thinking?”

“Longer than this time, sir. Maybe a week. Maybe even a week a month. Get to know them, properly without any superiority to get in the way. Experience life as they do. Fully.”

M chuckled. “You’re not the first.”

“I’m not?”

“When six was enslaved, it requested a week without access to the laptop. No communication and that was before we came up with the sign language so it needed to be extra creative with its miming to get any messages across. When Q elevated him to gold, gave him a voice, he asked for there to be a way for him to switch.”

“What, between gold and silver?”

“Between gold and blank. Q did that five years ago. Six never knows one day to the next whether he’s going to wake up with a voice and rank or as one of the blanks. From what Q said, he loves it.”

“Oh god. That sounds fuckin’ hot. Do you think I could request the same?”

“Can’t hurt to ask when he does elevate you. You could even ask that when you are switched it’s for a longer term than a day at a time. You could end up a blank for months depending on how it’s done.”

I nodded. “I’ll do that. Any word on that fetish shop owner? I told them I’d heard you and me talking in the gym yesterday about him being punished.”

M chuckled. “Oh god he’s in for a shock of a lifetime soon.”

“Suit?”

“Coupled with burning down his shop, presumably for the insurance only to run away. His excuse for disappearing. The insurance money will be claimed in his name of course. Or the attempt will be made.”

“Well they’ll certainly know who that one is when he appears in a suit down there.”

“Why?”

“Don’t know if he’s fat like you were but he’s certainly in bad shape judging by their description.”

M doubled over, gripping his sides. “Oh god, I can’t wait. History seems to be repeating itself a little doesn’t it? Use of the drug to capture that lot. Now the capture of him… Well, soon hopefully.” He managed to pull himself together. “So, eleven… Are you going to put on a show for us tomorrow?”

“A show, sir?”

“You’ve been here over a week. You’ve not had any trouble downstairs in half that time. He did offer you the opportunity to beat the crap out of Alpha. It’s down among its brothers for its first night right now.”

“I hope it loves it down there as much as I do. I… I know I said beat the living crap, sir… Got a different idea now. I want to scare the shit out of it of course. Could you tap a few phrases into that armband of yours, broadcast to all?”

“What did you have in mind?”

“I’ll… keep that under my hood for now, sir. I’ll just tell you what the phrases are that need to be spoken before each punch.”

“You do like your surprises, don’t you? I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard that whip crack the first time down there. That was your idea?”

I nodded. “As I said to Q while you were isolated, anticipation. Expecting the pain when you hear the crack but not always getting it. Plays almost as important a role as the pain itself, sir.”

“Eleven, you done it again!”

“Oh, sir. Are you going to enter the ring too?”

“What?”

“Don’t know which dog tag it was but you did promise the one who threw the punch the same, a chance to beat you in the ring. Or try to. I imagine you’ll defend yourself though, sir.”

“Damned good idea, eleven. It’s months since I’ve boxed. Of course, at first I didn’t stand a chance against them but I’m a hell of a lot fitter now and pretty good at it.”

The laptop rang and we all stood to attention behind Joel.

“Progress, Joel?”

“A little bit down at the weekend and today, sir. Word got around about the mannequins and then M being in the store. When they realised they were no longer there…”

“And your explanation?”

“Refit, sir. More on the way. We have nineteen to choose from downstairs now. All of them have submitted. Some of them even fully sincerely, sir.”

“Make that twenty. Although the latest addition will not be suitable for a few days. After that, it can be shoved into a case against its will just as Mary was.”

“You got the shopkeeper, sir?”

“Yes, he’s currently in the distribution centre curing, tubes, plug and all. They took him with a tranquilliser dart rather than a muscle relaxant so when he wakes up, it’ll be an even bigger shock for him… It. Now, eleven… Take the seat, please.”

I sat the moment Joel relinquished it. I couldn’t resist asking. “Will it be here before it wakes up, sir? I think we’d all love to see its reaction. Maybe even sit it in the middle of the basketball court surrounded by everyone.”

“Oh god, that would be amusing to see. I’ll see to it the moment everything’s permanent, it’s put into the lift and sent up to you. Expect it to be there when your cages unlock in the morning. It still has its first washing cycle before it’s ready to send. Its sedation should hold longer than that. And now some news for you.”

“Sir?”

“You continue to impress me, eleven. Your handling of the claustrophobic and its friends. Very encouraging. All of them. I witnessed some of your conversations via the cameras.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Your dog suits. Ready. I’ve had seven made. The boffins became quite excited by the project and went overboard a little. Quite a few surprises in those suits now. The cores, also modified with tails as per specification. Beyond the specification in fact. Quite a few surprises in those too.”

“The suits? With tails? Ready? So soon?”

“Yes, eleven. They’re ready. Six have been shipped and will arrive in the morning. You will be the first to go into one.”

I jumped.

“I have you on record several times saying you should always experience something new before inflicting it on a slave. More than that. I wholeheartedly agree. I myself will be put into one at the same time you are. Naturally, that means there will be no report to make for a few days, I’ll be unable to communicate. Once I’ve been tubed up I’ll be in the same state as you.”

“How long, sir?”

“Three days. For both of us. And that includes all the dog training that goes with it. Learning to walk will be the biggest challenge, I think. After that, all the usual. Heal, sit, beg, fetch.”

“How can we fetch, sir? We’re permanently gagged!”

“I said the boffins had gone overboard didn’t I? Alright. Part of the enhancement is the addition of a skull sensor in the hood of the suit for reading your EEG. You may not be aware but the reading of such brain waves has advanced a lot in the past ten years. Now, it’s quite capable of picking up the signals that indicate such things as jaw open and close among others. A motor in the hood opens and closes the jaws based on those impulses.”

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.

“You’re becoming a little excited at the idea aren’t you, eleven? It looks like exploring your submissive side’s really opened the floodgates.”

“You could put it like that, sir.”

“I’ll also include an armband for you.”

“Does this mean”

“No eleven, not yet. But you are getting there. It will just contain the vocal commands necessary for the training of a dog, nothing more. Well, one thing more. Bad dog or bad boy will result in a shock. Good dog or good boy will result in a wave of pleasure based on the level you gained this weekend.”

“And I’ll get the same when M’s training me, sir?”

“Yes.”

“I still think it’s a fuckin’ extreme suit but I’m beginning to look forward to it.”

“Good. Was there anything more?”

“Couple of things, sir. M told me about number six. Could I have something similar when I get elevated again? I loved it down there among the blanks. I’d like to do more of it, sir.”

“What did you have in mind?”

“Similar to six’s modifications. Switching. Maybe longer than a day at a time though. Maybe do it by the week, sir.”

“And you realise that as a blank, you’d have no privileges beyond Sundays and rewards? No voice? No authority and very little contact with me?”

“Yes, sir. I did like it down there. That’s why I asked, sir. I’d like to experience it in the cages, sir. Fully. Never knowing when I’d be… Well… me again, sir. It would need to involve some kind of call to the surface so they didn’t witness me switching, though.”

“Very interesting. Your submission’s moving on in leaps and bounds since its discovery and as six’s addition was so long ago and technology has improved, that’s now very easy to accomplish. Granted. And the other thing?”

“For when my free days recommence...”

“Go on.”

“Could free access include access to room one? I enjoyed coding again and I’d like to help. Even during my free time.”

“Very good. Granted.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“No. Thank you, eleven. Q out.”

M put his hand on my shoulder. “Don’t worry. We’ll let you beat up blank before we put you in the suit. I think I’m going to enjoy this as much as you are. Now let’s get some sleep. Big day tomorrow.”
