Return to the Valley Part 3 (bondage) "That girl is no NCF, Maam." Tonya said to Dr. Carey. They were in the doctor's office. This was considered a public area, so even though they were alone, Jane Carey insisted that Tonya follow the rules she had laid down for all her employees. This meant that Tonya was now kneeling on a pad to one side of the doctor's desk, her hands resting loosely on her lap. At no time was Tonya to address her as a friend, in here it was all strictly business. Dr. Carey sat in her desk chair and gazed thoughtfully at the kneeling woman for a moment. "How can you be sure?" she asked after a while. "Gut feeling, Maam." Tonya replied, still working the stiffness out of her mouth from the huge gag she had been required to wear while in the girl's cell. That Ashley had kept her gagged for the twenty minutes it took to arrange this meeting, hadn't helped. Privately Tonya planned to get her own back on Ashley, but there were bigger concerns right now. "Gut feeling." Jane Carey replied. "I was hoping for something more from you, Tonya." "Without talking to her, there is nothing more I can tell you, Maam. She's covered in various injuries and may be in a partial state of shock." "We've seen worse, for some people being abused like that is exactly what they want." replied the doctor. "It doesn't feel right, Maam. I want to get that hood off, just to ask her. Just to look in her eyes." "That violates everything we do here. How can our clients trust us to maintain their lifestyles if we ignore the instructions they give us." "How can we not take the time to make sure that everything is all right. What if Jane isn't faking? Her injuries need treatment. Hell, you didn't even get to examine her, and ALL the incoming Pets get that, no exceptions!" Tonya could see that the doctor inside Jane Carey was fighting with the administrator she had become over the past few years. Her face was clouded in doubt. "I want to think on it for a while." she said presently. Tonya nodded. She had a feeling that her boss would do the right thing, in the end. "I'll let you know what I decide. Now go!" "Yes, Maam." replied Tonya, and she leaned forward to kiss Jane Carey's foot, before exiting the room. Glancing at a wall clock, Tonya decided that while she waited for news on the new Pet, she would take care of one she already had. Anthony. Entering the kennel area once more, she picked up a set of keys from Lori and strode down to cage 8 where Anthony was kept. She stopped and watched him quietly for a moment, and allowed herself a bit of time to admire him as he lay asleep, his legs drawn up behind him in a lose hogtie. At least she assumed he was asleep, the blinder he wore that kept him from seeing, made it difficult to tell. Tonya signaled Lori at the desk, who electronically opened his cage door. Anthony immediately began shuffling to his knees, and was soon at attention. "Come on out Anthony, it's time to pump those muscles of yours!" Anthony smiled behind his gag, but said nothing of course. He shuffled forward on his knees until he was clear of the cage and Tonya undid the chain that held him in his hogtie. Then he waited until Tonya clipped the hogtie chain to his collar to use as a leash before standing up. Anthony was a big man. 6'4", 240 lbs. The words 'Greek God' always came to mind when Tonya saw him. His Mistress, an energetic woman who only topped five feet in height when in heels, liked to make sure that her very handsome companion here stayed in top shape. So that meant two hours, every day, in the weight room. Tonya stepped back a moment to admire him, partial to the 'Greek God' look herself. He stood tall and poised, naked except for the harness he wore. The harness was the same as the one everyone, Tonya included, wore while in the Kennel (except for Dr. Carey of course who stayed in her street clothes). Kevlar reinforced leather straps crossed his body at chest level, while a wider belt wrapped around his waist. Two vertical straps came up over his broad shoulders and swooped down front and back to tie into the straps and belt. His arms were locked behind him in leather cuffs, and his legs were hobbled with chain. The belt held up a chastity device that made it impossible for Anthony to be interfered with sexually. This device was also duplicated in its male or female versions on all the Pets and the employees. This was to keep the Pets safe from possible damage from themselves or from other Pets if sexual access was free, and to keep the employees minds on their status. For all were submissives at heart. All Tonya knew was that being around Anthony made her intensely aware of her own chastity belt. It was going to be a long two weeks with him around. Her eyes finally moved up to his face, at least what there was of it. His neck was covered in a very stiff collar that held his head straight ahead. Leather straps bound his long hair to his scalp, and held on the wide leather blinder that prevented him from seeing anything but what was directly in front of him at floor level. The blinder was used so that he could see to walk, but nothing else, and was also a standard part of a Pet's outfit. It also had written on it in large numerals the Pet's number. It was easy to get confused as to who was who without faces to look at. The last part was the gag. It held the mouth open, but didn't block it. This allowed food and water via the feeding dildos to be given without having to remove the gag. Also standard for all the Pets. None of this stuff came off for the entire stay of the Pet. With a sigh, Tonya pulled on his leash and walked him to the gym. Inside his hands and feet were freed but not his blinder and gag. As Anthony used the weight machines and the treadmill, Tonya spent the two hours she was with him alternately daydreaming about Anthony crushing her in a passionate embrace with those wonderful muscles of his, and worrying about Jane in her cell in Adoption. What was she to do? She thought about it long and hard while she moved Anthony from machine to machine. giving him lots to drink and generally supervising his work out. Once all the work outs were done, Tonya led Anthony to a shower cubicle and locked is wrist cuffs to rings in the wall before turning on the water. She was just about to rub him down with a sponge, when the phone by the door rang. Leaving him, Tonya answered it. "Tonya?" It was Dr. Carey. "Yes, Maam." "Meet me in Ashley's office as soon as you're done." "Yes, Maam. I'm just washing Anthony down, I should be only another fifteen minutes." "All right." Tonya rushed through one of her more pleasant tasks, rubbing her hands all over Anthony's hard body, and got him back in his cage before hurrying upstairs. Bursting into Ashley's office she found Ashley kneeling on the floor with Dr. Carey standing over her. Ashley had the huge rubber ball gag in her mouth and the doctor was just locking it on. Ashley didn't look too thrilled to be wearing it. Her jaw looked very extended. Seeing that her boss was in a rather dominant mood, Tonya too dropped to her knees. Jane Carey smiled at her however. "I noticed that you were working your jaw pretty hard in my office." she said. "After seeing this monster I can understand why." She indicated the huge gag in the now very uncomfortable girl. Tonya smiled. "Come on, let's go." Tonya and Dr. Carey left a frustrated Ashley behind, and went to the door of Jane's cell. Tonya used her wrist band to open the door and the two of them entered. Jane had moved since Tonya saw her last. Now she was lying on her front, arms and legs drawn up behind her. Kneeling once more, Tonya watched as the doctor gave the chained up girl a looking over. Dr. Carey did this without touching her, shaking her head as the count of scratches, bruises and burns went up. "Jane," said Dr. Carey quietly. "Can you understand me?" The girl groaned and began to shudder. She tried to move away from Carey's voice. Tonya thought she was scared out of her life. "It's okay, it's okay." whispered the doctor soothingly. The frightened girl slowly stopped moving, but it was obvious she was anything but calm. Her body quivered as it strained against the heavy chains that bound it. "I'm going to take your hood off, all right?" The girl remained still as the doctor approached. She mewled behind her gag when Carey's hands touched her head. Tonya was given a silent signal to come over and help, so she moved to where she could hold down the girl if she became violent again. Dr. Carey pulled a ring of keys from a pocket and undid the lock on the collar that held the hood on. Jane was really whimpering now, but didn't move. A moment later, The doctor had the heavy hood off, and the pale face and bald head it revealed was wrinkled with sweat. Evidently it had been trapped under the hood for far longer than it was designed for. The girls eyes squinted in the bright light. Tonya wondered how long it had been since they had last been uncovered. As Dr. Carey undid the gag that was still in the girl's mouth, a sinking feeling settled in the pit of Tonya's stomach, the girl looked familiar. When the tube gag came out, the girl immediately began coughing, and Tonya knew for sure who it was. "Don't you recognize her?" Tonya asked her boss. The doctor shook her head, more intent on helping the girl over her coughing spasm. "It's been on the news for the past month, this girl was kidnapped from her home in Beverly Hills. It's Liz Morning, that actress on that new prime time soap on Fox!" Dr. Carey went pale, and stared at the still heavily bound girl in her arms. At the mention of her name, Liz turned to look at Tonya. "Please," she said, her once powerful voice weak and raspy, "just don't hit me any more."
