Cadet 3
this too obvious. Her attempt to trick the man was rewarded
when her chin met the steel toed of his boot, sending her flying
backwards and making little light bulbs pop in her head.
    “Nice try, girly,” she heard the man say
through the white noise in her brain. “Now, get up, ’n you kin do
it right.”
    Jodie sat up, blinked, rubbed her jaw and
went back to work on the knot, saying blearily, “Well, you can’t
blame me for trying.”
    The man laughed, a short, sharp bark. “No, I
can’t,” he agreed. “I kind a like you, little missy. You got guts,
fer a girl. Now come out here an get on yer belly for me, so I kin
fix you up like your girlfriend.”
    Jodie obediently crawled out of the tent, and
lay quietly on the ground while the man tied her hands behind her
so strictly that they almost immediately started to lose sensation.
He placed a booted foot on her back while he bent low to seize a
hank of Merry’s long hair, and used this hold to drag her out to
lie in the dirt beside Jodie.
    “Fucking bastard,” Merry whispered to Jodie.
“That hurt like a son of a bitch.”
    “Sorry, kid,” Jodie answered. “But if that
was the worst thing they do to you tonight, I’ll be mighty
surprised. These men… ah ! Fuck !” she shouted as a
boot thumped into her ribs.
    “Shut up,” the man ordered. “What did ya get,
Mort?” he asked a hulking man who stood in front of the other
tent.
    The man reached down, to raise the heads of a
pair of prone figures by their hair. “Got these two right here,
Billy,” he said. “Looks like some real nice pussy.” Billy shone his
light on Mort’s prisoners to reveal the dirt-streaked faces of
Robin and Steph.
    “No better than this here,” Billy said,
nudging Merry and Jodie with the toe of his boot. “I’m mortal
anxious to get started, an’ if them Carson boys don’t get their
asses up here soon, you, me an’ Charlie is just gonna go ahead
without ’em.”
    At that moment, three new men popped out of
the trees into the clearing. They were dressed like Mort, Billy and
Charlie in camouflage hunting clothes and hunting boots, each
carrying either a rifle or a shotgun. The newcomers also all had
infrared night scopes hanging on lanyards around their necks. That
explained, at least part, something that had been troubling Jodie:
how had these men managed to get the drop on Dick Murphy, who had
been equipped with military-grade night-vision glasses?
    One of the three newcomers said, “Now, you
wouldn’t really do a thing like that to us, would you, Billy? We
was going ’round to see if they was any more of ’em, jus’ like you
tole us.”
    “An’ did I tell you ta take all night about
it?” Billy grumbled. “Anyway, you’re here now, an’ we got plenty a’
fancy cunt to go around, so let’s get this party started.”
    Jodie felt a sinking sensation in her the pit
of her stomach. All four women were alumni of the NWMA at
Highpoint, and after surviving that experience they had no great
fear of rape, even the anal variety. But she had a feeling that
these men were not going to be content with merely using them
sexually, or even beating them to a pulp. She had a strong
intuition that, unless they were rescued before then, by sunrise
not one of her people would be alive.
     

Chapter Five: Guilty Pleasure
     
    The men whooped with joy, and rushed to take
possession of their selections. There were a few scuffles, as there
were six men and only four women, and some of the men wanted the
same girl, but these were quickly settled with a few blows. There
seemed to be an established pecking order among the mountain men.
At the bottom were the three Carson brothers who had arrived last,
to Billy’s displeasure: Rand, Bran and Ed. They were eventually
forced to settle for sharing Steph three ways, after each was
knocked to the ground in turn by the short but powerfully built
Charlie and the massive, towering Mort. The former plucked Robin
from the ground as easily as if
