Chapter 18.
Debbie’s week after she got back to the labs was pretty much taken up with medical and other tests she had to undergo because of her, as they called it, ordeal.
She had only a little time of her own to spend with Dawn, Trish or Sally and hear their stories or with Neem, who with Sally, was being prepared for the State of the Union.
The biggest change she noticed was the heightened security and while she still had in process opportunities with men, they happened only toward the end of the week. By then she was more than willing.
They had a party for Sally and Neem before they and Nancy were to fly to Washington. The party was held in the large room with the honorees on the large platform. They all had to watch a pretty boring video Nancy had prepared about proper protocol to use with national leaders and foreign dignitaries, which didn’t make any sense since Sally and Neem were going to participate while in the big O.
The cookies were good and Dawn sat next to her to visit.
“Frances wasn’t nice when Tim came back without you,” Dawn said.
“She can only pretend to be nice.”
“I never saw her pretend. It was just Tim and no other men until they found us and then there were lots of men and they weren’t supposed to touch us.”
“That must have been awful.”
“It was awful. Tim and Frances fought all the time. He didn’t want to spend any more time with us.”
“Tim took me to some bars but I don’t remember much. You’ve seen videos of me before I got my tattoo.”
“I have a tattoo now. I like it.”
“They’re not sure if I can get one like you or not.”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know. I think I’m a prototype.”
“I’m a prime.”
“I am too. But an earlier version than you.”
“Were the men who took you from Tim nice to you?”
“They were enthusiastic.”
“That’s nice.”
“I like enthusiasm, too, but they didn’t take care of me.”
“Is it true they were having you do it for money?”
“A dollar. They kept a coffee can in the living room for the money.”
“That’s strange.”
“They weren’t too smart.”
“They sound silly.”
“Frank wore a dirty orange knit hat all the time.”
“Why? Was it cold?”
“Not inside.”
“That’s strange.”
“It wasn’t like here.”
“But at least you got to play some.”
“Once Tim took me to the bars and let the men fuck me, it was pretty much constant.”
“I’m glad I have my appliance back.” Dawn had been using it since the video started.
“I still don’t have one.”
“Oh no. I’ll talk to Nancy.”
“Are you excited about Sally and Neem?”
“I like the big O.”
“I like the big O, too.”
“Nancy said there won’t be videos to watch afterwards.”
“I like watching the videos.”
“Nancy is going to talk now.”
“Okay.” Debbie turned to watch the platform.
“Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day,” Nancy said. “Others will get to see and experience the fruit of all our labors here. Sally and Neem are the vanguard of the future. We are on the cusp of a new world where women’s roles will become simpler and more fulfilling. Women like you girls will be found across this great country enjoying what men can offer them, unhampered by silly old conventions and restrictions. A country where women can experience the big O and other delights for hours, for days, for weeks, for years, for their entire lives.”
Dawn whispered to Debbie, “I like the big O.”
“I like the big O, too. What Nancy is saying doesn’t sound like Nancy.”
“You’re right. Maybe she wrote this speech before she came here.”
“Maybe. I’ll ask her when she comes back.”
“I can’t wait for the men to come in. John said everyone can participate, not just the primes.”
“Sally’s squirming in her seat like you.”
“I’ve been having orgasms but they’re not the same when you have to keep quiet.”
“I’m waiting for later.”
“You didn’t have days without like us. Well, not days.”
“Neem has a glow, doesn’t she?”
“I like Neem, she’s nice.”
“Nancy is still talking.”
“Ooops.” Dawn turned to the platform.
“In a few minutes we’ll begin our party. Because of recent circumstances we still have security concerns. Sally and Neem will be celebrating here and anyone who wants to stay can join in. Those who want, however, can board the bus outside and visit the base.”
“That sounds like fun,” Dawn said.
“The men in the barracks are nice.”
“I haven’t been there yet.”
“I’m staying here. I want to say goodbye to Sally and Neem.”
“I’m pretty sure I’m going to go.”
“You’ll have fun. Nancy’s not done.”
“Before we break up I want us to have a few minutes together here. You all are so very special and important. Take a second and say hi to your neighbor and tell them how special they are to you. All too soon you will be scattered across the country and I don’t know when, after that happens, of if we’ll ever see each other again. We’re going good things here, it’s time for the world to know.”
The girls were looking at each other while the scientists on the platform clapped.
“I hadn’t thought of that,” Dawn said. “Not seeing you again.”
“Me either. I don’t think Nancy means right away. We’re like students who graduate and leave. I hope we have reunions.”
“I like you, Debbie.”
“I like you, Dawn, a whole lot.”
“I don’t want to go away.”
“We all have to, Dawn, some time or another.” Debbie saw that some of the girls were crying. “I better say something, Dawn.”
Debbie got up and went onto the platform. Nancy was staring at the crying girls.
“Hi, Nancy,” Debbie said.
“Hi, Debbie. Why are they—“
“I need to say something to the girls.”
Nancy stared at her for a moment before giving a nod. “I guess that’s okay.”
“Thank you, Nancy.” Debbie turned to Sally and Neem. “Hi, Sally. I want to talk to you in a minute. Neem, too. Hi, Neem.”
“Hi, Debbie, is it true?” Neem asked.
“I’m going to explain it.”
“Okay.” Neem settled back in her chair and took Sally’s hand.
“Girls,” Debbie said, turning to the small audience. “Hi, Trish.”
“Hi, Debbie.”
“Some of you have done the big O. Raise your hands if you have.”
Four girls raised their hands. Debbie knew Sally and Neem had theirs up too.
“Then you know and can explain to the others. When we do the big O, we go. You’ve all watched me in process up here. I go and eventually what happens?”
Girls were shaking their heads.
“I come back. You’ve all seen it. I go, we go, and what happens, eventually? We come back. That’s true.”
They were nodding.
“What’s also true is that while I’m gone I’m still here. You’ve seen it. I don’t go anywhere, do I?”
Heads were shaking.
“I love the big O. Ask anyone who’s done it if they like it. When I’m in processing doing the big O, I stay here but it’s like none of you is here with me. You could all leave the room, eat dinner, play with men, go to bed and to sleep, wake up the next day. I don’t think I care much in the big O. I love each and every one of you. You are or will be who I am and I am or will be who you are. We know things that Nancy and the scientists up on this platform will never know. Believe me.
“So believe me when I say we may go but we’ll come back someday and it’s the best ever because I love you all. I’m sure John and the others are working right now on ways we can always stay in touch. And we have our own ways, believe me.
“I was taken from you and I found a way to come back to be with you. We can do this and we need to start now by telling each other how special we are and how important we are. Maybe John can find some good videos to put up while we do this to help us remember how much fun we have.”
She turned to Nancy. “I guess I’m done.”
“You’ve changed.”
“I’m always changing but I love the big O and hope I can do it tonight.”
She went back to her seat.
“Hi, Dawn.”
“Hi, Debbie. I’m glad you’re back.”
“I’m glad I’m back. We’re going to have fun, us and the other girls.”
“You make it sound big.”
“It’s big.”
“I think I want to stay tonight.”
“Maybe we can do the big O together.”
“I love the big O.”
“Hi, Debbie.”
“Hi, Allayn. I’m looking forward to spending more time with you.”
“Oh look, a video.”
“I like this one,” Dawn said.
Chapter 19.
Debbie at in a chair at the back of the large room while the other her and Sally were in process on the large platform with about twenty men. The girls sat in front of her and a new group of scientists in lab coats like hers observed and took notes.
Success at the State of the Union had dramatically increased resources and outside attention. The project’s new facility, a former office building off campus, was almost finished being converted. The project would retain ties with the university but would be largely independent with satellite operations, to begin with, in four other states.
Debbie’s other Debbie was having fun and it looked like this group of men was highly appreciative of hers and Sally’s abilities. She wished she could see more. In many ways the crowded bedroom with Jim, Rafe, and Frank and their friends was ideal in its intimacy. Being chained to the bed had been exciting too which was interesting to think about.
Sally appeared, dressed in black miniskirt, striped stocks, and black boots, topped with a flannel shirt. The streak of crimson in her blond hair was a nice touch.
Debbie went to Sally who was standing there still trying to figure out what had happened.
“Hi, Sally.”
Sally turned to her. “What?”
“Let’s sit down in the back and talk. I’ve been waiting for you.”
“What’s happening?”
Debbie sat and Sally moved her chair to sit across from her.
“Let me explain a few things first. Nice getup by the way.”
“How?”
“Neem’s working on that now, she’s in the lab going over papers there. She says she needs others, like Lydia, to help her.”
“Neem, too?”
“Neem, too. First off, they can’t see or hear us unless we want them to. I always have my lab coat, though I can change into other clothes. I have an apartment in town. This first happened to me while I was kidnapped and it was disorienting in the beginning for a few minutes. Just accept we can do this and it’s easier than trying to figure out why or how. The other you is a bit messy but you’re fresh and clean. You can eat, let me know if you’re hungry, read, go places, though we’re still not sure how far we’re able to go. I’m sure you’ve noticed the tie; you can feel the other Sally, can’t you?”
Sally gave a nod. “They can’t see us?”
“No, but notice that Lydia senses something, she keeps looking this way. It took me a lot longer than you or Neem to do this, I think the others will be quicker still.”
“I, Debbie, I feel a little different.”
“Not quite so interested in sex, for one thing. Our minds are sharper. The effect of what John does to us makes our minds fuzzy. Not stupid, but we lack clarity. Neem is having fun trying to figure stuff out.”
“Okay. Science wasn’t my big thing.”
“I’m a literature student.”
“And I partied a lot.”
“That’s okay, we each have strengths.”
“So what do you do?”
“I have an apartment in town, a second life. Neem is able to siphon funds from various accounts without anyone noticing. That’s our base. Here’s a question. I like being the me over there, like it a lot, don’t you?”
Sally nodded. “I never had so much fun.”
“This other me wants to do things too. I liked school and would like to learn more. I want to travel. I want to someday get married and have kids. Be a little like my parents except different. Better. You’re nodding your head.”
“I liked a guy in school, haven’t thought about him since coming here.”
“The project wants us to be one thing. That’s their aim. I was happy being that, but I didn’t really have a choice and even if I had a choice I don’t think I’d want it forever. I’ve been going through Nancy’s emails and files. Their aim is to have a large group of women aged sixteen to thirty-six or so being like us over there with the men. They haven’t explicitly stated it, but after a certain age they have no use for us. We, Neem and I, think they’re working on a self-termination program. They’ll have plenty of younger ones to take our place.
“John may not even know. His interest has been to create women who crave sex all the time and he’s been successful. But the program, The New Woman Project, has broader aims and that’s what Nancy is part of. I’m not sure what Nancy’s role is so I have to be wary of her. We can’t let anyone know we can do this, what we are able to do.
“Who knows what we’ll be able to do a year from now. Maybe doing what you and I are doing is transitory and we won’t be able to do this in a year. Neem thinks this is a permanent state which is reassuring. I was excited when Neem appeared and now you! This is going to be fun with others around. It’s not the same when you’re all alone. Did you want to go for a walk?”
“If there weren’t so many up on the platform I’d want to watch.”
“I know, better than any video. I love watching the other me. It’s fascinating.” Debbie stood. “We won’t go far, my lab coat makes me pretty obvious. I’d like you to learn how to make yourself visible and stuff. It’s easy and you’d be able to figure it own on your own anyway, without me.”
“Okay.” She took Debbie’s hand. “I can still feel her.”
“You’re flushed like I am. A bit of sparkle in your eye. You’re not just feeling her, but getting some of the wash of her pleasure.
“I was thinking of going to a coke machine in the next building. We’ll have no problem with security, I have a spare key. For some reason if I put something in my pockets, it’s there when I come back the next time.”
“We’re getting a coke?”
“I have money. Through this door and down this hall.”
“I haven’t been here before.”
“The labs are in a basement. You probably don’t remember your arrival too well. It’s a maze down here anyway. We’re two stories down. We just walk past the guards.”
“They don’t see us at all.”
“I’m not sure if they can feel us; better not see if they can.”
“So what you and Neem are trying to figure out is how or why?”
“How or why or what makes this possible. Also how to safeguard what we do. Preserve the ability. Better understand the ability and what we can do.”
The elevator dinged and the doors opened.
“We go down this hall, I know this is confusing. And here is where I need my key.” She opened the door. “Another long hall and another elevator to the ground floor. We’re not sure how it will be in the new facility, if we’ll be able to get in and out and they’re setting up programs in other states. We need to communicate with the others. I need to be able to access the entire world.”
“I haven’t been outside since Tim and Frances took me.” Sally turned and looked around. “I miss this.”
“I know; I do too. Notice anybody around?”
“No.”
“Then think about being here, all of you.”
“I’m trying.”
“You’ll know when other people notice you. We’ll have to be more careful about what we say now, if others can hear.”
“Okay. I can still feel her. She’s happy.”
“Mine is happy too. The coke machine is in the next building. Why the punk outfit?”
“I wore this on Halloween, to a party, what, about forty-five days before I was taken.”
“Neem wears flannel pajamas. She’s embarrassed by them but she looks adorable.”
“I’m not too happy wearing this.”
“You’re getting looks, you’re being noticed.”
Sally stopped and watched. “So I’m actually here.”
“You’re here. You look like a freshman. I look like an absent-minded grad student and Neem looks like she should be at a sleepover. Through this door.”
They stood in front of the vending machines. “Coke or Pepsi?”
“Mountain Dew.”
“That’s interesting.” Debbie fed a dollar in the Pepsi machine, made the selection and a can clattered out. “Here you go.”
Sally popped the top. “I can do stuff.”
“Sure.” Debbie got herself a coke. “Ready to go back, we can stop and say hi to Neem.”
“I sort of feel anxious.”
“I did too, like I shouldn’t go too far from her, at first. I’ve been away in town for a whole day.”
“What do you do for ID?”
“I have ID. Yours was taken from you before you got here. We’ll have to figure out something. It’s not a problem so far for me.”
“Can we just sit for a while?”
“Sure.”
They sat on the edge of a brick planter. “This is nice,” Debbie said.
“It is. I’m enjoying this. When it’s time how do I go back?”
“I go up to mine and just do it.”
“And come out again?”
“Decide to do it. This you is always there. You can exercise a lot of control over your other you but you don’t want to attract attention so don’t unless you need to. I needed to eat, that’s how it happened for me the first time. I went and had a burger and milkshake and called and talked to Nancy. I’m more careful now. They’re watching me because of that. If you want to come out, you’ll come out.”
“This is fun, too.”
“Like being a secret agent, I know. We have to be careful because I think they’d kill all of us if they learned we could do this, something they have no control over. The whole thing is control for them.”
“I liked being her where I didn’t have to worry about control.”
“I like going back. I like being here too. Ready?”
“Ready. I’ll be careful, Debbie.”
“I know you will. We’ll all do the best we can. I think we’re going to make a change.”
“I hope so.”
“Invisible now. This takes some getting used to. They can see us move stuff, or rather stuff move.”
“The chair.”
“Don’t worry about it. They weren’t paying attention.”
“What about dogs?”
“Oh gosh, I hadn’t thought about dogs. I don’t know.”
“We’ll figure stuff out,” Sally said.
“We’ll figure it out.”
