MELODY - LOST FROM HOME [ part 20 ] I woke up the next morning, sweating, what if Victor had got out of his bed and attacked Melody, she would have been killed and nothing done to stop him, I went to the telephone and dialled the operator, I asked for Elizabeth's number, at which I realised that I didn't know her last name, I did have it on a card, but I'd forgotten where I left it. Luckily for me the operator knew who I wanted from my description and connected me, a slightly sleepy oriental voice answered the phone. "Sue-Li, its Paul Purple here, can I talk to your mistress please?" I asked her, she asked me to wait for a moment, and then I heard Elizabeth's voice at the other end. "Paul, I know what you're going to say." She told me, "So there's no point in my saying it is there!" I told her, she could hear my concern in my voice, well she would as she was trained in judging peoples attitudes. "No, not really, I promised you Paul that Melody would come to no harm while I was looking after her, Victor was under control at all times, if he had got out of the bed we had a plant in the room to restrain him until the police had entered, also I was in the room, even if he made it to Melody he would have to go through me first." She told me, "You feel responsible for Melody, as do I! Believe me Paul, she was completely safe!" This slightly re-assured me, so I thanked her, she sounded happier on the phone, "That's okay Paul; she's got another part to play this morning, after that confession we're going ahead with the trial. He's going to pay for what he did, trust me on this." Her voice was cold, colder than when she accused me of Melody's death. "Alright Elizabeth, I trust you, will I see you later?" I asked her "Afraid not! I've got a appointment later and I've got to be with Melody, she's going to be our star witness against Victor in court." I didn't say anything to that, Elizabeth had said Melody was going to be protected I'd have to take her word for that. I hung up the phone to find that Pauline was ready with the breakfast; she'd done one for herself as well, at my questioning look she said. "Well I didn't get my normal breakfast this morning so I had to get my own!" which brought a smile to my lips, but I was still brooding over Melody. After breakfast we had a shower - taking slightly longer as I brought Pauline to a climax; a sort of apology for stopping her from her early morning fun. We dried and dressed and were ready to start off for work, the officer at the door nodded to us and fell into step behind us. Pauline looked at her and asked. "Isn't Rachael going to be at the school?" the officer smiled at her and answered. "She'll be on site; I'm only doing this 'cause our orders haven't been changed yet. And until the perp. is formally charged and in custody I've got to follow my orders." She didn't seem annoyed at this situation and so I didn't press the matter. When we arrived at the school Paula was there with her father, she whispered something to him and he looked at me, I felt the officer behind me stiffen up - don't ask me how, I just did! - Paula came up to me and then said. "Mr. Purple this is my dad," then she turned to her father, "And dad, this is my favourite teacher Mr. Purple." We shook hands. "So you're the one who's been coaching my kid?" He said, I nodded my head, prepared for a punch. "Well you're doing a good job, the other day she started to take an interest in anal penetration, after your demonstration -I didn't think she'd take to it so quickly, keep up the good work." He slapped me on the back and then kissed Paula goodbye, Pauline took Paula's hand and the two went into the playground to wait for the bell. The officer behind me started to breathe easier; I turned to her and nodded "I didn't know what to expect either." I told her, "I guess I'm still not used to this town." She answered with a grin. "I was ready for anything, because the commander would have my butt if I allowed you to be beaten up while under guard." She told me. "I don't think I would like it either." I said ruefully, I walked into the office Kris and another girl were in there working, she looked up as I entered with my guard. "Hi Paul, same routine as yesterday?" She asked me. "Yep! Unless I'm called away before lunch, oh you haven't forgotten your promise have you?" I asked her. She shook her head, "Nope! When you leave I'll keep an eye on your class for you." I smiled at her, "Good, I'm sure the girls will appreciate that." I said and walked onto the classroom, Rachael was waiting outside, she nodded to my escort who then turned and left. "Good morning Rachael, how are you today?" I asked her, as we entered the classroom. "Just dandy Mr. Purple." She replied, but there was something slightly different about her, I stared into her eyes, "What's wrong?" She asked me. "The body is right and the voice is as well, but you're not the Rachael I met yesterday, why the change?" I asked her. "I, I don't know what you mean, I met you yesterday, and was in the class with you all day, why would there be a difference?" She was ill at ease, hiding something. "I think I need to contact the police station, they have a spy in their midst," I said quietly, she lowered her head. "You're not supposed to notice this change," she hissed at me, "I'm a backup personality for Rachael when she's been compromised." This surprised me. "Compromised? By whom?" I asked her, she looked at me. "Me! I compromised Rachael? How?" I said. She kept quiet, "I'm sorry to do this," I told her,"Felicity I need your help!" I said in a normal tone. She blinked a couple of times and then the easy pose I've seen in Pauline was duplicated. "I asked you never to call me again!" She exclaimed. "I wouldn't have, but there is something wrong with Rachael, she tells me that she's been compromised. I need to know what she means by that!" I told her, she stood still for a moment, as if deep in thought or conversation, then she looked at me and stood up, she went to the telephone and dialled a number. I didn't listen to the conversation, her side of it at least, but busied myself preparing the ropes for the knot tying practice later, and then she returned to me. "The original Rachael personality was becoming fixated on you, we don't have the manpower to assign a new officer to watch you, so the backup personality was activated, when we are relieved the backup will be overwritten with the original template to return her to normal and the main personality will be allowed access again." Obviously she was given authorisation to tell me this, but it gave me food for thought. "You still have the memories of yesterday's classes though don't you?" I asked her, she nodded, "Very well, we'll carry on as if all was normal, thank you Felicity, Rachael return!" Her eyes showed that Rachael was now in charge of the body, "My apologies Rachael, I didn't understand, how do you feel about this." I was curious about this, does the controlling person have real feelings or not? "It's strange, in some ways I'm still the 9 year old who the other day was searching through rubbish in order to live, but I've got all the memories of growing up here and learning everything I needed to know. I know that I'm just a shadow, but I am the Rachael you knew yesterday even though we haven't met until this morning." She gave a slight smile, "Weird isn't it?" She added, I nodded and dropped the subject. ---- The girls came into the classroom and looked at the ropes on my desk, the volume level rose as they started to imagine what I was going to do next; I raised my hands to bring them to order. "Good morning girls, there will be a slight change during the day, I'm going to be away at some time for a couple of hours," and their moans sounded in the room, "I have decided to give the class some work to do while I'm away, and Kris from the office has volunteered to watch over you while you work on this. You will be divided into 5 groups, each group will have a team leader and a deputy." I read out their names and asked them to stand up. "You will all notice that the team leaders and deputies are members of the girl guides, they are going to be teaching you a number of knots to be tied in these pieces of rope. Each team has an assignment, which is in these envelopes, this Kris knows and is prepared for." I paused here to raise their expectations. "What she doesn't know is that she will be the assignment! Your main task is to get her tied to that table, with a rope bra around her breasts, and a pussy leaking juices." I looked at the pendant wearers, "That's going to by your main job, keep her happy and constantly cumming." They smiled at my words and looked at each other hungrily. "The main point of this will be team work, how each member of the group helps the whole of the group, If we have time, I'll allow you to join with your team leaders for instructions on what you're going to do after the first lesson -reading please get into your groups and get your books out." I looked at Jessica and said, "And no more tearing of covers please!" which made the girl blush. While the girls were reading away I went to each of the team leaders and handed them their envelopes, inside with the instructions were a list of what girls were in their team, the group that didn't have a pendant wearer received Pauline instead, I wanted to know if she could perform on women as well as men, I knew she should be able to but had never had the chance to find out before. I walked around the groups listening to their reading, it was still a surprise to hear some reading from Enid Blyton, and the next from 'Man with a maid' - this group had got to where Alice and Fanny had joined the hero and Alice was applying the feathers to her maid. Their laughter was putting the first group off slightly, and making them wish that their reading skills would allow them to progress to this book next. --------- The bell rang to signify the end of the lesson and to start the next, I picked up the phone to check on the computer availability. "You're in luck," I was told, "The system is back on line and your class has the first access to it." I thanked the sysop and told the girls to go to the computer lab, I looked at Rachael. "I'm sorry but if I can't go with the girl's there be no lesson." She nodded, "I reckon I can trust you not to run off, but if you can wear this, just in case?" she handed me a flat box on a wristband. "A tracker?" I asked, she nodded; I took it from her and fixed it firmly, and then allowed her to check that it was fitted and working correctly before allowing me to accompany her to the computer lab. There was the sysop already in the lab. Waiting for my class to arrive, she looked at me as I entered, "Mr. Purple I assume." She said holding out her hand, "I must say your class is high on the viewing register, mainly because we've never had a male teacher in one of our girl classes before!" I looked at her; my surprise registering on my face, she smiled. "Did you think that it was just the admin office that kept an eye on you?" she asked me. "Well, yes I did." I said, "Is it full sound or just pictures?" I asked her. "Only pictures for outside viewing, I understand that the Principle can have audio piped in, but that's all, the rest have to rely on lip-reading or listen to the music playing, I understand that the video's are doing a wonderful trade, not bad for nearly a weeks work." She told me. "I should charge royalties for my appearance." I said dryly, if my face became too well known I'd never be able to return to my former life, that's if I was going to be allowed to. She laughed, "Oh you wouldn't get much, they pixiate your face, so nobody can recognised you, I should know I'm in charge of the computers that do that, but you can have a copy of the original if you want?" I shook my head, "No that's okay, I know what happened so I don't need a reminder, shall we get on with the lesson." She nodded her head and started to coach the girls on search engines and their uses. Rachael came up to me. "You really didn't know about the live feeds?" She said, I shook my head, and then she asked, "What about your knot tying lessons?" I smiled. "Oh they're still go ahead, I might even buy a copy of that for my own use!" I said. She smiled, “If I know them they’ll charge you cost price!” and then she went back to the door, ensuring that I didn’t try to leave. The Sysop, Cathy, started showing the girls how to use search engines to find information. Then she spit the girls into groups so that each group had a screen each, then she gave each one an assignment to complete, I asked if I could use a screen and she allowed me access - I went to the person search and typed in Jonathan Jones. ‘File accessed - ‘Jonathan Jones, (deceased). Founder of Jones Enterprises – Father: William Jones, Mother: Mabel Roper (R*); Elder of their three children, Jonathan, Victor and Pauline. Education: Private - tutored by specialist in all subject - note special instruction given in business studies, computing and financial controls.’ ‘When older worked as consultant programmer, and then branched out forming his own computer software company, when able to he brought up several unrelated companies, each in developing fields (quite a long list), met his wife Samantha Anderson (R*) while negotiating property in Ropeville County, married out of state. Has one child Melody - note status of child currently not available (council of Ropeville orders) - file will be updated when information is available.’ ‘Ropeville computer centre - this information is not to be copied or released outside Ropeville - please note this system has been logged as accessing this information please enter your name?’ I called Cathy over and showed her the screen. “I’ve only seen this appear once before, I didn’t know the information you needed was on a security file, you’re going to have to enter your name, the camera there has already logged your face, but you know if you didn’t have clearance for that information you wouldn’t have received it.” she told me I typed in ‘Paul Purple’ and the screen responded with - ‘Thank you Mr. Purple, access time logged. Further information required?’ I debated, should I try to find out more or not? I decided not to and answered ‘No’ - the screen blanked and then came up with ‘Attention Mr. Paul Purple - your presence is required after lunch at the court house please attend at 14:15 hrs’ The time started to flash on the screen, I beckoned Rachael over, once she was beside me I showed her the message. “I’ve just received the same information over the radio.” she told me, “It looks like you’re going to be busy this afternoon, what with the court room and then the classroom afterwards.” “Afterwards!” I exclaimed. “I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes when Kris gets free!” She said with a smile. |
