Gabrielle and Maria Vasquez walked together as they left the theater. The hypnotist had been a dreadful bore. Whenever he called someone onto the stage and supposedly "hypnotized" them, he would have them do something like pretend to be a construction worker or run up and down the isles thinking they were Richard Simmons and trying to get people to work out with them. He made one girl think she was naked. Big fucking deal, Gabrielle thought. Even the speech he'd given them at the end of the act had been a bore. It had put the whole audience right to sleep. If it weren't for the theater's strict no refunds policy, Gabrielle and Maria would have demanded their money back.

"That guy was so boring!" Maria exclaimed. "I mean, that fatass he brought on stage couldn't even ACT like he thought he was thirteen." Gabrielle's face suddenly took on a strange, blank look, like in the early mornings when she wasn't quite awake, and sometimes she would stare off into the distance. "Gabrielle?" Maria said, waving her hand in front of her sister's face. "Gabby? Hello?"

"I just remembered I left something at the theater." Gabrielle said flatly. She turned and walked back toward the theater. Maria stood against a parking meter for almost ten minutes, then she started getting scared and stood by the ticket booth. An hour passed, then two, and finally Gabrielle came back out. Expression had returned to her face.

"Found it!" she said, holding up her Beanie Baby keychain.

"What did you do? Check the whole place, seat by seat?"

"I had to go and see Señor de Cordova, the hypnotist. He also runs the lost and found." Gabrielle said, as though she were discussing the weather.

"Figures." Maria said. "A loser like that would HAVE to hold down two jobs just to make ends meet...but why did you stay in there for so long?"

"You wouldn't believe how many Beanie Baby keychains get lost in there every day." They walked home the rest of the way, and they didn't think any more about the incident. Gabrielle simply hummed a sprightly tune as they walked. Maria didn't listen to the tune, however. She was paying more attention to the musky smell coming from Gabrielle.

The next day, the family was playing Monopoly, and Gabrielle was winning. It was Maria's turn, and she blew on the dice for luck before rolling. Darn the luck, she thought. A four. As she was reaching for her piece, she noticed Gabrielle's face. Her shoulders were slumped, her eyes were vacant and glassy, and her face was all slack and expressionless as she stared at the dice. Suddenly she got up.

"I have to go." she said. "I promised a friend I'd meet him at the theater." And then she was gone. Confused, Maria looked down at the dice, and saw a one and a three staring her in the face. She tried to think of the last time Gabrielle had gotten that blank look on her face, and there it was...They had been talking about the hypnotist's act. The hypnotist had hypnotized an overweight gentleman into thinking he was...thirteen. Gabrielle's face had gone blank when Maria had said the word thirteen. And that musky smell...Maria recognized it from the time she had walked in on her friend lying with some guy during an idle after sex. The hypnotist was taking more from people than their money, she realized.

"Gabrielle's in trouble!" she muttered, darting from the room as her parents yelled after her. She had to save Gabby, but how? How could she stop the hypnotist?

Esteban de Cordova smiled to himself as he heard the word "master" tapped out on his door in Morse code. He opened the door and found one of his "customers" from the night before. She entered at his command and stood beside the bed. Another of his slaves, one Julia de Castille, lay mindless in the bed. He left her there. He undressed Gabrielle, then asked the all-important question.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Slave 13." she replied.

"Good girl." Esteban said, caressing her cheek. Suddenly the door burst open, and Maria stood, snarling, in the doorway.

"Let my sister go." she demanded.

"Now why should I want to do that?" Esteban asked. "Naked girl." At the sound of that trigger, Maria quickly ripped the clothing from her body, then stood there, staring in shock at what she had just done. "You see, Maria, you are under my control as well." Esteban said, smiling. "I'm surprised you hadn't come to me before now, but then again, numeric triggers sometimes don't pop up like common word triggers."

"I'll rip out your heart!" she roared, charging him.

"Rag doll." Esteban said, and Maria went limp in mid-stride. Esteban caught her, and set her down on the bed. "13, why don't you come over here?" he said.

"Gabrielle! Gabby! Get control of yourself!" Maria exclaimed as best she could in her paralized state.

"She can't hear you. She can only hear me now." Esteban replied.

"You monster!" Maria roared.

"13, I want you to take your sister's clit in your mouth." Esteban said. Gabrielle obeyed. "Now suck her off." Gabrielle obeyed, and Maria protested in between involuntary moans of pleasure. When Maria came all over Gabrielle, the mindless girl on the bed was drawn into the foray. "27, I want you to lick 13 clean, then pleasure both girls' tits." The mindless girl on the bed got up and proceeded to obey her master. When Gabby and Maria had both orgasmed from the tit-pleasuring, Esteban had them move out of the way. He dropped his pants and inserted his hard penis into Maria's vagina. He penetrated her all the way, then set up his rhythm. He massaged her breasts as he fucked her. Her body rocked repeatedly with orgasms as he continued to work himself in her. Finally he shot a full package of seed into her body. He pulled out and backed off. "Robot." he said. Maria's body stiffened, while her face showed that she was still trying to resist. "Stand up, robot." Maria's body shot to attention at the side of the bed. "On your knees, robot." Maria's body was on its knees before him. "Suck my dick, robot." Maria's mouth opened, and she obeyed, albeit unwillingly. Her hypnotic programming prevented her from biting down on him or pulling away. He shot his seed down her throat, glad he had thought to program her gag reflex to be supressed. He pulled away, then stood back. "13, come stand with your cunt at your sister's mouth." Gabrielle obeyed. "Robot, eat 13 out." Involuntarily, Maria began licking her sister's cunt, disgust plain on her face as her body obeyed Esteban's commands.

"Maria!" someone exclaimed from the door. "What are you doing?" Esteban turned to find the girls' parents. He hypnotically froze them in place. When Maria finished eating her sister out, she was able to reply.

"This sicko's got us hypnotized!" she yelled.

"Silence, girl." Esteban scolded. Maria's mouth instantly shut. "14." he said, and Maria's face went blank just like her sister's. "Now, 13, 14, on your hands and knees like the bitches you are, and face your parents." The two mindless sex zombies obeyed. Esteban fucked them both several times right before their parents' eyes. When he had finished with them, he pulled his pants on and walked up to the parents.

"Sleep." he told them. He whispered into the mother's ear. "You are Scout J. You will find attractive young ladies and you will give them free passes to my shows. Identify yourself to the woman at the ticket booth and recieve further instructions." The mother's head snapped up and walked out. "You are Scout K." he told the father. "You will find people with girlfriends and you will hypnotize them into Scouts just like yourself, just as I have hypnotized you. They will be assigned Scout names beginning with your Scout name followed by a second letter. Your first Scout will be Scout JA, your second will be Scout JB and so on. You will command these Scouts to hypnotize their girlfriends into coming here and becoming my slaves, and if you ever find an attractive young lady without a pass to my show, you will hypnotize her into my slave, just as I have made you my Scout. Go now." The man awoke and walked away. Esteban closed the door. "Now, my slaves, all form a line." The three girls obeyed. "Follow me." They obeyed. They followed him into a hidden room, where 37 slaves lay naked and mindless on little beds with their slave numbers at their feet. He deposited 27 in the bed marked with a 27, then 13 and 14 in their respective beds.

"Now, my slaves, I want you to reach inside yourselves and find that little part of you that still doesn't want to surrender and obey." They each blinked twice in acknowledgement. "Have you found it yet?"

"Yes, Master." they all replied.

"Delete that annoying little piece of free will." He paused for a few seconds to let them get their internal job done. "Is it gone?"

"Yes, Master." they all replied.

"Good slaves. Come now." They obeyed.
