To Obey
by Fire-Bird
Chapter 69 "Grass Snake."
The grass snake sniffed the air with it's tongue. Sensing the vibrations
in the ground it made a decision and moved across the barren part of the
road towards it's eating ground. It's small body left an S mark in the
dirt. The vibrations were getting stronger. The snake stopped and tested
the air once more. Unfortunately it was the last time.
The warning of the car's shadow wasn't enough. The black dunlop tires
cracked the snake's spine in four places. In less than a second the back
tire crushed the snake's skull.
A little while later the dead snake made a tasty snack for a lucky magpie.
Priest turned down the stereo in his car. His ears tingled a little as the
bombardment of noise stopped pounding his hearing. He shook his head
slightly to see if the ringing noise would stop. It didn't. In his youth
he had lit a fire-cracker and the wick burnt a lot faster than it should
have. It was less than a foot away from his head when it exploded. Since
then he always had a ringing in his ear.
The building came into view. It was nothing special. It looked more like
a broken down house. But Priest had been here before and it's image was
quite deceptive. In a tunnel behind the house was the monastery where he
grew up. He parked the car in front of the house and turned off the engine.
He was about to fulfill his promise.

Steve watched on as Hang checked his restraints. The room was doctor's
office. Very neat and sterile. Steve moaned with the pain in his belly.
Hang put on some surgical gloves and pressed in certain areas on Steve's
abdomen. Steve started crying. Even the merest touch to his belly was
excruciating.
"Silent boy! Painful yes. But do not move. I make better."
Steve nodded and lay his head onto the table. He winced as Hang carried on
his check up. After a few minutes rummaging around the surgery Hang found
what he was after.
"Boy. This will hurt. Be strong. Over soon." said Hang.
Before Steve would even blink Hang pushed a thick needle into Steve's belly.
It pierced the skin, flesh, muscle all the way through to the bladder.
Steve screamed.
A minute later the pain had disappeared as the urine exited the boy's body
via the tube. After a while the only pain was the needle. Hang extracted
this and covered the hole with a small piece of cloth.
Steve thanked Hang. Hang smiled.
"Boy. Not over yet. Got to remove worm." said Hang.
Steve felt the Chinese's hands feel for certain points on his neck. Then
everything went black.

Cindy Winslow took a deep breath and held it. She shrieked slightly as her
father inserted another staple into her tender nipple. The sharp metal tore
into his flesh cutting through nerves sending screaming messages to Cindy's
brain. Cindy opened her eyes and allowed a tear to find it's path down her
cheek.
SNAP! Another staple was inserted into her nipple. Cindy winced.
"Ouch! How many more are there Daddy?" asked Cindy.
Paul Winslow picked up a box and gave it a shake.
"About 100 darling. Now close you mouth and pucker your lips. Good girl."
Paul pulled Cindy's lips out a little and placed the stapler over them.
SNAP!

Priest made his way through the house. He remembered the various booby
traps and easily made his way past. Finally he got to the back door. He
located the rope to the side and pulled it twice, then three times. He sat
down to wait.

Steve blinked his eyes. He felt very groggy like he had stayed up all night
to work on his computer. He pulled on his cuffs again and found he was
still tied down.
"Welcome back." said Hang.
Steve turned his head over and blinked his eyes to try and focus.
"What happened?"
"Me put you sleep. Remove worm. Sore for while. Rest." said Hang.
Steve smiled and fell back into a restful sleep.

Priest's bum was numb. He awoke to find himself totally in the dark. He
reached over and touch the wall. From the feel of the wallpaper he knew he
was still outside the door. He stood up and tried to get the numbness out
of his ass cheeks. Then he heard a creak. He turned and saw the door was
slightly ajar.
He pushed it open, walked in and promptly closed it again. When he did
there was a note on the other side of the door. He squinted to read it.
It read: Torture room.
Priest shook his head. The message was to keep the slaves in. Funny
enough, so far it had worked. He turned and nearly walked into a hooded man.
"Welcome brother. We have been expecting you. The High Priest is waiting
to receive you. Please follow me."
Priest bowed to the hooded man and followed. Small light-bulbs in the
ceiling lit their way through the passage. Good, thought Priest. The last
time he was here they didn't know what electricity was.
Priest heard whimpering ahead. He knew there would be slaves who had been
punished. Sometimes for being lazy, other times just for amusement. Priest
first noticed the girls feet tied to a bar. The girls were hanging upside
down with their hands tied together. Blood glistened from the whip marks
on their bodies. They had been whipped from neck to thigh on their fronts
and backs. The girls moaned slightly as the two men walked past disturbing
the air around them.
Soon they came to a large chamber. It was nearly totally bare except for a
man sitting on a large chair at one end. To his sides were two monks. One
tall and skinny, the other squat and rotund.
Priest walked forward and kneeled to the High Priest.
"Welcome back Brother." said the High Priest.
"Thank you Brother. I have returned to fulfill the promise I made many years
ago."
"Good. Let's have it then."
Priest stood up and put his hand into his robe. After a couple of seconds
worth of searching he pulled out his prize. He handed it to the hooded man
who then gave it to the High Priest.
"You have done well brother. Will you stay a while?"
"I am sorry brother. I am required back at the school."
"The school huh. So be it. But I ask you to take Brother Will and Brother
Peter back with you for a while. I wish them to learn of your school and
report to me."
The tall skinny man called Brother Will stepped forward bowed to the High
Priest. Then did the rotund Brother Peter.
Priest bowed. "As you wish Brother."

Steve stretched out his sore and tired body in the recovery room of the
Doctor's office. He could hear noises from the next room and assumed Hang
was cleaning up. Then he heard the door open and a woman's gasp.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" came a voice. Steve rolled over to see if
he could see what was happening.
"So sorry. Needed to save boy. Would have asked permission but Doctor was
not in room. Many apologies."
"Oh! So he fucking apologies does he?! Fucking Chinese, I hate you all!"
"Please. Have apologies and also cleaned up mess. No need insults."
"FUCK YOU! DIE!"
Steve pulled himself out of bed and walked over to the door. He saw Hang
being strangled by Doctor Every. Hang placed his hands on Every's wrists
and broke the hold.
"Please. Don't want to hurt you." said Hang.
"FUCK YOU! FUCK YOOOOU!" screamed the doctor.
Steve could hear footsteps outside. Nurse Luxe and John burst into the room.
"What the hell is going on here! Doctor Every release Hang!" shouted John.
Hang again broke the Doctor's hold and pushed him backwards. Hang turned
to John.
"Sorry. Had to save boy. Doctor was not here to ask permission. Have said
sorry but Doctor no listen."
John nodded. "Doctor Every. He has said sorry. Let it go."
The Doctor's face was red with anger. Steve saw him pull a five inch knife
out from behind his back.
"NEVER!" screamed the doctor and lunged at Hang.
Hang stepped to the side as the Doctor's wild swing missed him. The doctor
turned around expecting to face a terrified Hang. Hang was in a martial
arts fighting stance rolling up his fingers preparing to punch. The Doctor
roared and lunged again only to have Hang punch him quick and hard on the nose.
The Doctor fell back a step with his eyes wide open. Blood and white discharge
quickly appeared and rolled down over the Doctor's lips and onto his shirt.
"Doc?" said John.
The Doctor turned slowly around to John and with a weak smile fell backwards
to the ground. Nurse Luxe checked his pulse. The Doctor was dead.
"Why Doctor so angry?" asked Hang.
"No reason, he just hates people messing with his stuff, that's all." said
John as he walked out the door.
