Nikola woke and was totally confused. There was a bright light and someone was shaking him. "Is this the one?" Who said that? It was the man shaking him.
"Who are you?" He asked. A girls voice came out of his mouth. His memories came back. He recalled been changed into a girl. A copy of Ruby. She recalled been taken to the club, being molested then been thrown into a cage when she resisted.
"Shut up Bitch!" was the reply she got as well as a slap of her face.
"Yeah that's the one. Grey dress is what I was told. Muffle her" Nikola found something shoved into her mouth. She tried to shout but she was effectively muffled. She was lifted to her bare feet. She looked around. She was still in the caged room in the house across the alley from the club. She saw her companion, the woman who had offered a drink sitting on the floor on the other side of the room.
Nikola tried to beg her for help but all that came out of her mouth was a muffled squeak. The woman would not meet her gaze.
"Younger than expected and I think she'll scrub up pretty well once we clean her up and those bruises heal. I wonder what she's done to piss the Russian's off so much?" It was the second voice. The man apparently in charge.
Nikola was confused and felt dopey. Had she been drugged? She was nauseous and hoped she wouldn't vomit while gagged. That could be fatal. How did she get to be wearing a grey dress? Last she could recall she was wearing a black top and skirt. She glanced at the other woman and saw what she was wearing a black leather skirt and a black top. Someone had swapped their clothes. She could guess who and glared at the woman who continued to silently look at the floor
Memories returned to Nikola. Memories she didn't want to recall. Authorising the sale of a girl to the traffickers. She remembered talking to Alexei several weeks ago. He had a girl who was uncooperative and had bitten a clients penis. A big no-no in the sex business. That girl had consequently booked a trip on the next outward bound trip. He didn't know what her destination would be, only that it was out of the country. Where wasn't usually Nikola's concern. The business could not afford to have unhappy clients and had to be ruthless. A new shipment of girls would have arrived today. The traffickers bought 6 girls into the country and would take this one back as payment. However that now became 'her' problem as Nikola realised she had become the traffickers payment.
She struggled but the man who had her just laughed. "Don't worry little lady. You're going on a long trip. We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other on the boat" She was hopelessly weak in this body.
As she was bustled out of the house she had a glimpse of a group of forlorn looking girls being addressed by Ana. No doubt the new shipment. She was thrown into the back of a white van. Then the man who had manhandled her produced a syringe. She tried once more to scream but was still muffled. All she could do was watch as the man injected it's contents into her arm. Soon after she was back in la-la land.
