Reichenbach is indeed the darkest and cruelst character in this Saga so far. I like your Comparison very much :) I try to imagine Sarah McKenzie as Kindergarten Teacher supervising a bunch of toddlers, highly amusing :)

[mention]slackywacky[/mention] suspected that Hermann-Carl Reichenbach is a nasty piece of work. Read for yourself how much so:


Chapter II:

Hermann Carl Reichenbach´s Study, late afternoon


Image



Reichenbach was lost in thought. He was stressed, there was only one way to cure that, he took his phone and dialled, an evil smile curled around his lips. She would hate that call. The call was taken after the third ring:

“Hello Sophie”, his voice dripping with sweet malice, "Would you be so kind to come down to my office, if it is not too much trouble?” He listened for the reply and ended the call. His smile was not only evil now but outright cruel.

His son had been a disappointment through and through: Weak, kind, sensitive, sentimental, soft - an artist. All character traits Reichenbach despised of. Thankfully, Lucas a professional photographer was frequently away on photo-safaris, currently he was scampering around in Patagonia. How his son had managed it to get a woman like Sophie to marry him was beyond his comprehension:

Sophie was strong willed, very capable even brilliant and outspoken, open minded, loyal and independent.

Image

All things Reichenbach valued highly in a man, but not in a woman. Women had to be beautiful and to be seen not to be heard.

But thankfully Sophie had a little secret, which in the false hands could destroy her successful career as leitende Oberstaatsanwältin: To finance her studies she had worked part time as an escort for high powered clients.

When Reichenbach had found out, he was delighted. Of course he would not destroy Sophie´s reputation it was much more entertaining to let this sword of Damocles dangle over her head and keep this Suffragette in her place.

“Enter” he barked, in response to four crisp knock s upon his office door.

A tall dark haired woman entered, resembling very much a younger version of Sophia Loren. Sophie's Mother was born a Roman who had met Sophie´s father in Rome, where he had studied Church Law at the Gregoriana in the eternal city for a year.

“Sophie, so glad you could make it – take a seat please” Reichenbach bade her. “I prefer to stand, let us get this over with” she replied curtly every word dripping of disdain.

Today Sophie wore torn jeans, a white blouse and sneakers. Reichenbach hated this casual outfit, thinking "A woman has to be presentable always." He was sure that Sophie had done this on purpose it was her way of revenge.

He sat silent as the grave, staring thoughtfully out of his window, making her wait, for a moment longer than it was comfortable, before speaking, “Sophie, I would like you to join me in my quarters this evening, shall we say around 2000 hours and do dress appropriately”, he gave her the once over and sneered “if it is not too much of an inconvenience for you.”

Sophie looked at him, her green eyes radiating hate, but also something different which he always enjoyed, a hint of fear.

“I think I have no choice” she said flatly.

“No you do not my dear.” He replied sweetly. “That will be all.” He dismissed her.

Sophie turned around and left without any word, her posture rigid, stiff. Reichenbach could not hide his satisfaction – and the bulge in his trousers. This evening would be fantastic.

Sophie fumed in powerless rage: "When would this end?" she thought. How much she hated that cruel old man. This could go only for so long. She would do almost anything to free herself from this burden. Till then, she had to carry on. And not giving up hope.

‎Reichenbach´s Quarters around 2000 Hours:
‎

Nervously Sophie stood in front of the Door which lead to her father in law´s Quarters. She bit her lip to distract herself from the sense of dread that filled her. She always hated this moment, hated and feared it at the same time. The moods and whims of the old man were unpredictable: Courteous in one moment, cruelly cold in the next. When he had summoned her earlier the day he had been in good spirits, maybe this would made things easier.

Sophie pulled herself together and knocked. Nothing happened. Some sort of power game. He enjoyed his power over her immensely. She knocked a second time, again no reaction. Sophie counted till thirty – and knocked a third time, this time a loud and clear “Enter.” Sophie opened the door.

Herrmann Carl Reichenbach watched Sophie like a feline predator his prey. “Close the door.” Sophie did as ordered then stood demurely in the middle of the room looking down on the tips of her High Heels. Hands folded across her lap. Like a student awaiting punishment by the headmaster.

He enjoyed what he saw: This time his daughter in law had chosen her “Gwendoline-Outfit”. She wore her hair in a tight chignon, a severe high necked blouse and a classic black pencil skirt, black hose and matching Stiletto Heels from Louboutin with 120 mm heels.

Hidden from the eye were the punishingly tied crotch rope and the vibrator she had inserted into her Vagina on his orders.

He had trained her well, he thought, she knew what was expected of her, a lesson she had learned the hard way. She had been stubborn, resisted him at every turn which had made the game all the more fun, it had immensely stimulated him. Still did. Sophie's resistance was like the Elixir of eternal life for him.

He walked around Sophie inspecting her, appraised her like a warmblood at an auction. He stood directly in front of her looking down on her. On her High Heels she was not much smaller than him. Sophie still did not dare to look up.

Reichenbach pulled up her chin, forcing her to look him directly in the eye. He regarded her. Her beautiful face was bare of any emotion, her cat-like green eyes betraying nothing. Reichenbach let her chin go and Sophie assumed the same position as before, staring down at the tips of her heels.

Reichenbach walked back behind his desk, opened his laptop and began to type as if Sophie was not present. Three Meters in front of him stood a high backed chair of polished black wood. Minutes passed: 10 Minutes, 20 Minutes and 30 Minutes – an hour.

Sophie´s feet hurt in those hideously high stilettos. But she dared not to move an inch. She knew from experience that her father in law enjoyed these games beyond belief and she would not give him the satisfaction to break. “Let him think he had broken me.” Should he, break her, he would destroy her: she would not break. She stood still and endured.

After an hour he looked up, pretending to perceive her for the first time. “Mrs Reichenbach, please do take a seat and prepare to take notes.” Sophie did as she was told, not making the mistake to look up at him. She took the pad and the pencil.

And Reichenbach began to dictate a lengthy memo, long, complex sentences difficult vocabulary. This was also one of his little games. Sophie was glad that she had learned stenography at school and had a flawless memory. The old bastard would not find one single mistake, not a single comma. He never had.

After another hour Reichenbach was finished. He would correct her transcript later. Reichenbach rose walked to a cupboard and retrieved several lengths of black rope and a ball gag with a large red 3 inch ball in its centre.

While he enjoyed the psychological Power Games very much they were just the hors d'ouevres. Now it was time for the main course. Reichenbach could barely hide the trill of anticipation.

“Come Sophie” he ordered her. Sophie stood up, head bowed and walked in the middle of the room, turning her back to him and crossing her hands behind her back. Reichenbach took the first pre-cut length of rope.

Cruelly he lashed her wrists together, but not tight enough to impair her circulation. “I will have to wear long arms and trousers tomorrow” Sophie thought ruefully. Next followed tight rope bands above and below her elbows, crushing her arms together. Sophie bit her lip. She would not give him the satisfaction to show the slightest sign of weakness.

Reichenbach let his hands wander above her full and firm breasts, squeezing them, playing with her nipples. He knew that she hated that and enjoyed it even more.

He took immense pleasure in tying the breast harness above, below and between her ample breasts. The black ropes contrasted nicely with the white blouse. The elbows were so tightly tied that her breasts would nearly pop out of her blouse.

“Sit”, he told her curtly. Sophie sat down. Not an easy task with her tightly tied arms. Reichenbach welded her with brutal efficiency to the Chair.

Sophie´s legs were next. Reichenbach let his hands glide across her nylon clad ankles higher, above her knees, letting his hand gliding under her skirt. It cost Sophie all self-discipline she possessed to sit still, and keep the nausea she felt in these moments, in check. He let his hands resting on her tights for a moment. To Sophie this seemed like an eternity.

He tied her ankles tightly together, much tighter than necessary of course. Her calves were next, than below the knee and above the knees. Two rope bands across her tights melted her to the Chair.

“Not in a talkative mood dear Sophie, aren’t we?” Sophie was too smart to let herself goaded into a response, and stared ahead. “One day” she thought “One day you will pay”

“Since you are obviously not interested in a conversation, I think, we should just shut you up. Be a dear and open your mouth” he spoke in this mock sweet voice, she despised so much. Sophie did as ordered.

She could not see what he was doing. Out of nowhere, his hand appeared before her face holding a large ball. “Used hose”, she shuddered inwardly. Reichenbach pressed the ball of hose in her mouth. The Ball was so big she could barely close her mouth. She gagged.

The used hose tasted horrible. “Recognizing your own taste?” Reichenbach teased her. With relish he pressed the overly large ball gag against her lips and the hose. He pulled it tight till the Ball popped behind her lips, pushing the hose even deeper in her mouth. The leather straps cut sharply into the corners of Sophie´s mouth.

“We do not want you to drool on those nice blouse and skirt, would we? Especially after you made such an effort to dress correctly" He mocked. Band after band of black ace bandages was wound around her mouth. After 20 or so passes he was satisfied, encircling her jaws in a vice like grip.

He looked enormously satisfied down on her, an evil smile curling around his lips. “This is how I prefer beautiful women like you my dear daughter in law.” Sophie stared wide eyed at him, her eyes welling because of the tight gag.

“We are almost finished Sophie dearest” he cooed. How she hated him. He knew it and enjoyed her obvious discomfort. Reichenbach took two lengths of thin rope and let them dangle before her eyes: “Any ideas what those are for? No? Too bad, let me demonstrate you.”

With surprising ease for a man of his age he knelt down at her feet. Sophie could barely supress the urge to kick him in his ugly face with her stiletto clad feet. “Your feet must be hurting terribly, let me relieve you.” He pulled off her right shoe than the left. Gingerly Sophie flexed her feet, enjoying the sensation of being rid of those dammed heels.

But her relief was short lived. Reichenbach tied her insteps tightly together first. But he was not finished yet. Brutally he tied her big toes together. If Sophie had thought that Reichenbach was finished, she was in for a nasty surprise.

He pulled the rope around her toes and her bound feet under the chair and tied the rope tightly to ropes around her wrists, completing a sitting hogtie. Even now Sophie could feel a cramp building in her soles. Reichenbach let is fingers wander across her tightly tied toes. Tickled her for a few minutes, barely a sound escaped her well gagged mouth.

He stood up. Like a beautiful statue Sophie sat tied tightly in the middle of the room. She stared at him. “A piece of furniture I am for him.” Casually her father in law walked behind her. All became black when he tied the heavy padded sleep mask behind her head. Then she felt something pressed first in her left then in her right ear. The world became silent, black and silent.

Suddenly the Voice of Reichenbach rang clearly in her ear, ‎“I have to make some important calls. I will set the earbuds on voice cancelling mode, I hope you do not mind, but those calls would bore you to death.” Everything became silent. White noise filled her ears. She was alone, blind, deaf and mute in her own small world. The ropes cut deep into her skin, held her body in their iron-like grip.

Suddenly the vibrator nestled inside her began to buzz, enough to distract her to keep her on edge, but not nearly strong enough to grant her release. She was in for a long evening.

Reichenbach took in the scene before him and savoured the moment. From time to time he would stand up and feel her up. Touch her breasts stroking her tights or giving the soles of her feet a short tickle, just to keep her on edge.‎

An hour later:

Sophie must have dosed off, a sudden sharp jolt between her legs catapulted her back to reality, Reichenbach enjoyed the moment when Sophie sat suddenly straight upright, breathing heavily. He switched the cancelling mode off: “Did you sleep well my dear”, Sophie would have gladly murdered him, had she been not glued to the chair. ‎

She felt that her father in law fumbled with the rope which kept her toes tied to her wrist bonds. He severed the rope and her feet flopped down to the ground. “What a relief.” Sophie thought, as the blood rushed back to feet. Her soles were prickling like crazy as if thousand ants crawled along them. Reichenbach chuckled as a soft moan of relief escaped her tightly gagged mouth.‎

“That feels good, don't you think? I'm in a gracious mood today” he said graciously, "I think you earned yourself a reward."

Reichenbach untied her bound toes and removed the bonds around her insteps. He watched for a moment as Sophie flexed and pointed her pantyhose clad soles.

He set the Vibrator on full, Sophie´s breath became more rapidly, she moaned and flexed her feet till the waves of a thunderous orgasm washed around her. She was in dreamland. "What a sight!" Reichenbach thought, the tightly bound body of his daughter in law straining against her unforgiving bonds. He watched intently as her breathing slowly returned to normal.

Reichenbach removed the ear buds first then the sleep-mask. Blinking because of the sudden light Sophie stared at him with wide dreamy still clouded eyes.

“Time for the next course, don´t you think? Look” he said gesturing at a black stool in front of her. “I think your poor feet deserve a little rest.” Sophie looked expressionless at him, her distrust evident. He grabbed her bound ankles and positioned her feet on the stool so that her feet protruded just a little above the surface of the chair. At each side of the chair two rings were positioned.

Sophie learned quickly what they would be used for. Reichenbach tied her feet to Chair, it was impossible to move her feet now. After he had tied her toes together again and back to her calves, all she could do was move her toes just a little. “What would he do now?” Sophie mused. That he planned to torment her feet was obvious.

Reichenbach moved out of her field of vision. When he returned, he held two items in his hand which filled Sophie with fear. In the right hand a riding crop, in the left a large Hitachi Wand.

Her anxiety clearly amused him: “No need to worry my dear”, he said casually, "I will not destroy your beautiful hose or hurt your soft soles permanently. You might feel wearing High Heels tomorrow a little uncomfortable though."‎

Sophie cursed inwardly. Tomorrow she had to wear High Heels the whole day because she would spent the whole day in the court room. Removing her High Heels or changing them for comfortable sneakers would be out of the question. And Reichenbach that cunning old bastard knew that.

“Let us begin” he said loftily, with a nearly casually flick of his wrist he hit Sophie's left heel hard. Hot pain raced through her body then he struck her right heel. Systematically he beat her feet alternating between her left and right foot. “Did you know, that the Bastinado was common practise in the Ottoman Empire?” he asked her casually.

She did not know how long this first round had lasted when he stopped. Tears ran down her cheeks. Now and then little sobs escaped her gagged mouth.

Reichenbach switched the riding crop with the Hitachi Wand. While not as painful as the merciless beating of her soles, the tickling sensation of the vibrator was just as bad. After a few minutes, he switched again to the riding crop. And so it continued. At some point Sophie's Mind simply shut down, she retracted in her subspace where he could not reach her

How much time had passed she had no idea. Sophie only turned back to reality, when someone, it must be Reichenbach, began to untie her. Her soles burned like hot coals. At last Reichenbach removed the cords which held her wrists together.

“Stand up! He ordered. It took a while till Sophie felt able to obey the order. Gingerly she took her legs of the stool and mustered all strength to stand up. When the blood rushed back into her legs she had to grip the arms of the chair. She would not have been able to stand otherwise.

Deep red rope marks crisscrossed her wrists. She rubbed them gingerly. As Sophie's wanted to unwind the Ace Bandages above her gag, Reichenbach barked: “The gag stays in. You will remove it only when you are back in your Quarters. Understood?" Sophie just stared defiantly at him.

“You may leave now you will walk in your stockinged feet." Sophie grabbed her high heels, turned on her feet, moving with surprising grace, nearly sauntering to the door, as if her feet were not on fire. The door closed behind her.

Reichenbach stared after her. “She has balls, I must give her that.” She would have rather died than giving him the satisfaction to show him, that he had hurt her. He heaved a sigh. In many ways, Sophie was so much stronger than his son. Too bad she had been born as a woman.


Sophie Reichenbach´s Quarters, 15 Minutes later:


The walk on the cold stone floors to her Quarters had been pure torture. With every step Sophie had felt like the little mermaid, as if knifes were stabbing into the soles of her feet.

Reichenbach would watch her on the all present cameras, so she pulled herself together, all the will power she could still muster after his evening of horrors, he would not see her cry, he would not see her run, he would not see her removing her gag. That would have to wait till she had reached the sanctuary of her quarters.

Sophie had checked that no Cameras had been installed in her rooms. This was the only place in Reichenbach Castle where she could be herself. She entered the code into the pad beside her door. It swung wide open she entered quickly and closed the door.

Heavily breathing, her legs shaking she stood in the small hallway for a moment. When she had composed herself she walked into her sleeping room, fell on her back, tears streaming freely down her checks. She just lay there she did not now for how long. “Get a grip” she admonished herself. Sophie took a small scissor out of her necessaire. Carefully she cut through the Ace bandages enshrouding her face from chin to nose.

With trembling fingers she unbuckled the cruelly tight straps of the ball gag and pried the big ball of her gaping jaws. That hurt like fire. She had to rest for a moment before she felt confident enough to pull the soggy wad of hose out of her mouth. With disgust she let the wet slimy ball fall to the floor. It took a while before the pain in her jaws had receded enough so that she could walk into the kitchen. Greedily she drank water from the tab.

It took Sophie an enormous effort to remove her clothes: She went into their bath rooms. Sophie looked into the mirror. Her face was pale the straps of the ball gag had left deep indentations on her skin. It would take a lot of effort tomorrow to make herself “presentable.”

She stepped out of her skirt, let it fall carelessly to the floor removed her blouse. Angry red rope marks crossed her whole body. Sophie peeled the hose down her leg, removed the crotch rope and the vibrator, stood.

The warm water of the shower drummed on her body, easing the pains of her aching body. When she fell onto her bed she curled herself up like an embryo. Sobs shook her body. This had to end. If she could only talk to anyone – Lucas was frequently away. Her father in law had made it very clear what would happen if she should dare to tell him. At last she fell into a dreamless sleep.

Dear [mention]Caesar73[/mention], you have outdone yourself. First, what a magnificent choice of avatar for Sophie you have made. Can anyone measure up to Sophia Loren? I think not. Second, you have satisfied your prior billing of Hermann Carl Reichenbach as evil personified. And third, the bondage scene is nothing less than scorching. I think that any of your readers that have a heart will be eagerly awaiting the time that the worm turns and Sophie gets control of Hermann.

It's a rare author on this site who can make me feel so conflicted whilst reading an update...

On the one hand, the bondage was very pleasing to read, Sophie is drop-dead gorgeous and these two characters are now very well-established with their personalities and motivations.

But on the other, I felt extremely uncomfortable for Sophie as her discomfort and disdain for being dominated by such a vile man as Reichenbach is clear throughout the chapter.

If your goal was to make me hate Reichenbach, then mission accomplished hahaha.

Well finally I’ve caught up with all the adventures. Finally I’m back up to date with all the going ons. And yet still I long for this tale to continue for so much longer. For the settings are perfect. The back drop intriguing and unusual. The characters both good and bad fascinating. So all I can say is keep it up. Keep writing as you are. Keep all us readers glued to every word, every event :)

Wow, this was likely your best chapter so far. This is how you introduce a villain. I hate him, so you did a good job. He is cruel and sadistic, showing how far he can go in his 'games', and the amount of time you mentioned Sophie had to suffer was long, almost on the brink of what I would think would be humanly possible (especially the whipping part). I hope the trio can show Sophie tie-ups can also be fun.

One minor critisism:
His son had been a disappointment through and through: Weak, kind, sensitive, sentimental, soft - an artist.
I think your character forgets one fellow nazi was once an aspiring artist himself ;)

There is a saying: "show, don't tell". I was wondering if we were going to just read the letter about this new villain or if we were actually going to see his cruelty by ourselves, and I was hoping for the latter. You didn't disappoint.

That scene is very well written, and it's remarkable how you can recognize the difference between a more playful and friendly game such as those between Anna and Kate, and this treatment made by Reichenbach. That's not easy to do, I must say.

Excellent work!

That was a great chapter. The detail, the stringent ropes, the tight gag, the teasing, it was all so vivid. Very well written and a pleasure to read.

Dear [mention]slackywacky[/mention] your praise means much to me :) I know, Sophie had a lot to endure and Reichenbach Senior is - as you suspected - a really nasty piece of work. I have to admit, I found writing that scene difficult, because Sophie had to suffer so much - for the sake of the story, but Sophie is a strong woman, who will play an important role in Nuremberg and beyond :)

Chapter III:


Breakfast Lounge –Le Meridien Hotel, Nuremberg, the next morning:

Kate and Christine sat chatting amiably in the Breakfast Lounge of the Le Meridien. After their morning run they were relaxed and ready for the day, they had jogged down the Königstorgraben down to the Pegnitz run along the river and returned on the other side of the river back to the Hotel. They did their morning runs together whenever possible. And what better way to discover a city?

Christine drank her customary Assam Tea, while Kate had her second Cup of Coffee “Black and strong.” Kate asked her friend: “You know, I googled some facts about Nuremberg, the Christkindle Market and such, but could you tell me something about the City? I read the facts, but that's about it."

Christine grinned: “Be careful what you wish for, are you in for a history lesson in the morning?

Kate grinned: “Fire away!”

“Okay then, but don't say, I didn't warn you” Christine teased her: “As you said Nuremberg is famous for two things the Christkindle Market and the Nürnberger Rostbratwurst. Droves of Tourists come to Nuremberg for the Christkindl Market in late November and December, many Americans and Japanese among them."

"In Nuremberg many roads of German History converge: There are the less glamorous sides, The Party-Conventions of the NSDAP, the “Nürnberger Rassengesetze” and the Trial against the leading Members of the Nazi Regime in 1946/47.

On the other hand Nuremberg is famous for its Imperial Castle, since 1423 the imperial regalia were to be kept permanently: The castle, together with the city walls, is considered to be one of Europe's most formidable medieval fortifications.

Image
(Nuremberg: Pictue of the Imperial Castle)

One of the “Blütezeiten” was the Renaissance. You saw some of the beautiful buildings at our run?” Kate nodded.

“But wasn't the city heavily destroyed?” the detective asked Chris.

Image
(Part of the heavily destroyed Old City of Nuremberg in 1945)


Chris nodded. “Very much, like many German Cities in World War II. But a lot of buildings were rebuilt after the war.”

“Ah here she comes: Anna Romanova her royal morning grumpiness” Kate grinned.

“Not today”, Christine corrected her smiling. “Anna has been on the phone since we started our run, to work on our shopping list.”

Anna walked to their table, nodded and sat down. “Coffee, Grand Duchess?” Christine teased her. Anna treated her with a long look. “That is the least you can do, Christine. Work before breakfast should be forbidden by law.” she grumbled. ”At once your Grumpiness” and Christine filled Anna´s cup of Coffee.

Anna took a sip and savoured the taste for a moment. She sighed contently “I was successful we shall met our contact at 1100 hours at the Kongresshalle. Everything will be ready”

Image
(The unfinished "Kongresshalle was Part of the Rally Ground for the Party Rallies, which where held in Nuremberg in every Year. One Model for this Building was the Colosseum in Rome)

Kate looked a little sceptic: Don´t you think it a little careless to leave the material we recovered in your suite, Chris? Not very secure if you ask me.”

Anna grinned: "On the contrary Kate. If I judge Reichenbach correctly he will already know who we are and why we are here. We want to deliver a message. What better way to lure them here?”

Christine nodded: “If I were Reichenbach I would send a team at our hotel to recon.”

Anna continued: "They will look for clues and then they do, we will know who they were."

Christine added: “If they enter my room and try to retrieve the material they are in for a surprise."

Anna smiles, darkly, “Anybody who moves the box will be compelled to stay.”

Kate nodded: “Sounds good to me. Anna may I take a look at the list?" Anna shoved her IPad across the table.

The American studied the list, then her she looked up eyebrows raised? “Vibrators?”

Anna grinned broadly: “They might come in handy, if we have to persuade somebody. Would you be so kind to pass me the Coffee, Chris?”

“You had already two cups, Anna” Chris looked at her friend.

“This will be another stressful day”, so I will have to be fully awake –and that Stuff is good”, the Russian shrugged nonchalantly.


Reichenbach´s Office, Reichenbach Castle around the same time:

"So these are the 'guests' of Herr Stromberg?" He asked his Assistant. Reichenbach looked at the large flat screen in his study. Three Pictures which showed three women:

“In the middle you see Christine von der Marwitz.” Friedrich explained.

“Von der Marwitz? Sounds Prussian“

"Yes“ his Assistant agreed,” The same family.” He continued. “Christine von der Marwitz is considered as one of the best Piano Players in the World by many experts.”

“An Artist”, Reichenbach said disdainfully.

“And founder and CEO of Art Inc. an Agency which specialized in recovering lost and stolen Art – rather successfully, my contacts tell me.”

“Who is the woman on the left?” Reichenbach pointed on Anna.

“This is the Grand Duchess Anna Romanova” Friedrich explained. “She is related to the Family of Tsar Nicolas II, famous Violinist and Chief of Operations of Art Inc."

“Women” Reichenbach spat.

“On the right, Captain Kate Beckett with the NYPD,” Friedrich continued. "She has an impressive record as Homicide Detective.”

“And what did they have to do with Stromberg?”

“Our contacts told me that the three are connected to a shooting in Hamburg ten days ago. Peter Riefenstahl an investigative Journalist was shot by a sniper.”

“Shame he went quickly.” Reichenbach said sarcastically. In his personal opinion “Journalists” were as bad as strong independent women, vermin and filth.

“Our Informant in von Winterfeldt's Organisation told me that heirs of Oskar Weinstein tasked von der Marwitz and her firm with the recovery of the Weinstein-Collection."

Reichenbach´s cold eyes narrowed. “We definitely should have a “chat” with the detectives. Do we know their whereabouts?"

“We do Sir” Friedrich replied. "They booked three suites in the Le Meridien and I have already dispatched a team of our agents to recon. Carla and Sabine will pose as chambermaids, so they better blend in. They should be there by now, they will search the suites, Sabine and Carla shall begin with the Suite of von der Marwitz. I expect their report early this evening."

Reichenbach nodded curtly: “Keep me informed” he directed his right-hand man.

“I will so Sir!” Friedrich left.


Nuremberg, Oberlandesgericht around 1100 Hours

Sophie Reichenbach sat behind her table in the courtroom and listened to the statement of the defence counsel. She had difficulties concentrating. The soles of her feet burned and her high heels pinched her feet. It would be a long day, a very long day. The pending law suit was a complex one.

On the other hand the proceedings distracted her from her memories of yesterday evening, though now and then pictures popped into her mind. The voice of the Judge brought her out of her reverie. “Frau Oberstaatsanwältin, do you have any questions for the defendant?”

Sophie rose up: “Yes your honour” she answered in a clear, strong voice and began her cross examination of the culprit.


Le Meridien, Christine´s suite at 1200 Hours:

Carla and Sabine stood before the door of Christine von der Marwitz' suite. They had decided to begin their search there. On the assumption that if anything of use was to be found, it would be there, since Christine von der Marwitz was the CEO of the agency, as they had been briefed. Carla and Sabine had watched the three investigators leaving around 1000. To blend in, they had done the house keeping on the fifth floor.

Sabine stood watch, while Carla entered the duplicated key card into the lock. It clicked softly. Cautiously they entered the suite. It was empty. The Room-Safe would not pose any challenge because their Boss had provided them with the code that would allow them to override the security system.

“Look”, Carla told her Partner. “There on the Table!” On the dark round table near the windows of the main room at right side of the suite sat a large black box. Carefully they went nearer. Suddenly a soft hiss could be heard.


Kongresshalle the same time:

Christine and her friends had just loaded their purchases into the trunk of their SUV when Anna sensed her Smartphone vibrating she took it of her bag. “Wait”, she told her friends and looked at the screen then a sly grin curled her lips:

“Let's get to the Hotel, Chris, someone entered your Suite and activated the security system of the box.”


Le Meridien, Christine´s Suite:

Thirty minutes later they had parked their SUV in the hotel´s own underground garage and taken the lift to the fifth floor. They drew their guns and entered the Suite carefully

“Look what we have here”, Anna pointed to the floor. Two women laid, clad in the uniform of the House-Keeping, unconscious in a heap on the ground: a blonde and a brunette. One of the intruders was slightly taller than the other.

“How long will they be out?” Kate asked her Russian Friend.

“At least for another hour”, the Violinist replied. “But we can wake them up.” Christine nodded. “Let's make them a little less comfortable and then we will have a little chat.”

Carla´s head pounded. She found it immensely difficult to open her eyes. She assessed her situation: She sat upright on something soft, legs stretched out before her. Someone had relieved her of her shoes. And she was tied up and gagged! Her legs were tied in three places: around the ankles, below and above her knees.

She winced at the tightness of the knotted crotch rope. Her hands were tied behind her back rope bands around her waist above and below her breast held her arms in place. Something soft and pliable filled her mouth to capacity. A foam ball? Clear Tape held the stuffing in place.

She opened her eyes next to her sat Sabine tied up in pretty much the same way. It took her a moment till she could see clearly. Across from her three women sat in three chairs: A tall blonde in the middle, a black-haired woman at right and a brown-haired woman at the left. Carla recognized them from the pictures.

The Russian spoke in a cheery voice: “Boy I´m glad that you are awake, we thought you would sleep in the whole day. Did you really think we would not take any precautions? That was sloppy of you and luck for us.”

“Anybody coming near that Box without deactivating the security system first triggers the security mechanism. Brilliant, don´t you think?” She asked her mute audience. Carla and Sabine stared at them, eyes wide above their gags.

“So this is what we are going to do girls” the Russian continued almost cordially. “We will have a little chat and when we are satisfied we release you and you can deliver Herrn Reichenbach a message.” Anna still got no response.

“If you are willing to talk, just nod.” Carla and Sabine continued to stare. “No?” Anna pressed. “What a pity” Anna sighed. She exchanged looks with her Partners: “I told you, we would have to persuade them.

“You did”, the American spoke for the first time. Persuasion is such a boring business. What do you think Christine?” she asked her blond friend. “Absolutely”, the blonde replied cheeringly, “but there are compensations, Anna would you do the honours?”

Anna nodded gravely: “Okay Ladies, last chance: Are you ready to talk? No?” Her grin became outright evil. “Okay, then have it your way. A short demonstration first.” she pressed a button on her IPad. A sharp jolt between her legs startled Carla. The Vibrations became quicker and stronger. Her breathing accelerated. As sudden as they had begun, the vibrations stopped.

Christine told her friends “Tie them down to the bed, we wouldn´t want them to trash around, falling of the bed and hitting their pretty heads.”

Kate and Anna stood up, took some ropes. First they tied the big toes of Carla and Sabine together, and then fastened their leg bonds to the foot of the bed. Moving their legs was impossible now. “Ladies, first to get their ward to speak wins, loser buys dinner”, she told her friends.

Then Anna sat before Carla's feet, while Kate positioned herself at Sabine's feet.”

Ten Minutes later:

At last Anna stopped raking her long fingernails above Carla´s nyloned soles, giving the blonde a chance to catch her breath, the vibrator stopped too. Carla was breathing heavily. She had never thought that tickling could be such a torment. The Russian had tickled her feet relentlessly:

Under the heels, under the balls of her feet and the worst had been between the toes - the vibrator had driven her crazy always near the edge, but no release. She looked to her side: Sabine was even more spent as she. Carla looked up the Russian. “Will you talk now?” Defiantly Carla shook her head. Her eyes radiated hate.

“Fine with me”, Anna quipped“, “It is Round Two then.” It took an hour till Sabine and Carla talked.

They were interrogated for an hour by the American Detective, who put them through the wringer relentlessly: The same questions, in different variations and from different angles, sudden changes of Pace and directions. When Kate was finished, Carla and Sabine had been gagged again.

Christine stood before them: “We will release you now and then you can return to your Master, who will be missing you terribly, I bet” “You will tell him to meet us tomorrow at 2000 before the Haupttribüne at the Zeppelinfeld. He should come alone."

Anna and Kate ungagged them and untied them, though leaving the crotch ropes and vibrators in place. “We will send the code to deactivate the vibrators to your boss.” Anna told them loftily. “When you try to remove them, you will be zapped into oblivion.” Carla and Sabine stared daggers at her. “And one more thing: “You won´t need your shoes.”

“You will pay for that”, Carla spat.

“May be, may be not”, Anna replied absolutely unmoved. When the two Women had left the room walking gingerly on their hosed feet, Kate looked at Christine: “Do you really believe that Reichenbach will come alone?”

“Of course he will not”, Christine replied evenly. Here will Anna come into play.”

“But let us talk about that at Dinner. Torturing makes me always hungry. I'm starving." Anna says smiling‎, “Good plan you don't believe how hungry tickling the feet of that Carla made me.”

Kate grinned: “I knew you had no objections.”

Anna pouted mockingly.

Wonderful chapter. It is good to see to girls actively at work.
Torturing makes me always hungry
While it seems likely that Hermann will have the upper hand from time to time, he is up against an irresistible force. Reluctantly waiting to see it play.

Wow, that is one explosive vibrator ;)

Great chapter, I am surprised Carla and Sabine held out that long. They must fear their boss.

And that photo of the devastation brings home what war is all about. It is not our leaders that suffer, it is the working class people trying to live their lives. And it does not matter if it is WW2, Vietnam or Afghanistan. It is always the regular people that suffer.

[mention]Caesar73[/mention], the pictures that you are posting are all great and add to your story. I don't know if BBC makes it easy or hard, but if it isn't too much trouble, I would really like to see labels of those pictures telling me what I am looking at.

Usually, it is. In my case, that is a part of the world that I have never had the opportunity to visit. It is like I am getting a view through your eyes. I just looked at the last picture you posted and saw that you had already added a label. I had planned to ask a question about it because it reminded me of the Colosseum in Rome. To me, this makes an already rich story even richer.

Thank you very much.

Great installment, and another hotelroom trap being successful. It seems that vibrators and tickling are truly your favorite torture methods.

One little question: How does Reichenbach still have female employees? He likely has to pay them pretty well, I reckon. Or can he be very charismatic?

Regarding Vibrators and Tickling they are among my favourites, but there will be a greater Variety in future Parts :)

Reichenbach despises primarily strong and independent women, but sees Women as Subordinates as useful, as tools so to speak - and he pays well. And he does not run the day to day business, that is the job of his right hand man. While Reichenbach accepts Women as Subordinates he would never tolerate women in a higher Position. This is one reason why he hates Women like Sophie so much.

Yes, I can see that in his character. Which means our three lead ladies need to take extra care.

Gotta love an interrogation with vibrators, that was quite ingenious of our three heroes, especially the trap for the safe.

I don't imagine Reichenbach's opinion of women will improve after his two female agents were so badly tricked and humiliated.

That would be the most sensible course of action.

Chapter IV:

Reichenbach´s Office, Reichenbach Castle, 2000 Hours

Carla was staring down at the tips of her nylon clad feet. She had been sure that Reichenbach would not be pleased. "Not pleased? That is the understatement of the Century”, she thought.

When Sabine and she had returned to Reichenbach Castle, Friedrich had already waited for them then led them directly to Reichenbach´s Office, without saying a word that was even more unnerving, because normally Friedrich was polite and talkative.

Of course had he not removed their crotch ropes and those dammed vibrators. “On the orders of the Old Bastard”, Carla was certain. “That was something he would enjoy immensely” Among his staff his liberties with his Daughter in Law were not a mystery. In some ways Carla felt sorry for Sophie, but Reichenbach was her Employer, she thought it unwise to cross him.

The Trip from the Hotel to the Reichenbach Castle had been humiliating. Thankfully they had nobody met in the lift and in the garage. The constant buzzing of the vibrators in their pussies and the dammed crotch ropes had been distracting to say the least. Carla and Sabine had vowed that the Russian would pay dearly for that stunt.

Reichenbach had berated them constantly for over 20 Minutes now. He stood now directly before Carla and Sabine. “Look me in the eye” he spat. “You are a disgrace. Failure is not tolerated in this organization!”

"Tell me Carla”, he said suddenly almost conversationally, "What are the consequences for Failure?”

“Punishment”, she said in a small voice.

“What did you say? I couldn't fucking hear you!” The old man bellowed.

“Punishment, Sir”, Carla replied more firmly.

“Yes my dear: Punishment.” His suddenly now cool voice, frightened them even more.

“You”, Reichenbach barked at Sabine “Go to that Cupboard over there and fetch ropes and the two largest Panel Gags you can find. Now!” Sabine hurried on her nyloned soles to said cupboard and returned with the items her boss had demanded.

“Since you failed so abysmally on guard duty, you will be standing guard till midnight!” He pressed a button on his desk: In the middle of the room, three Meters directly in front of Reichenbach´s monumental desk two holes in the dark parquet floor had opened. Two Posts of metal, roughly 20 cm thick rose.

“Your Guard Posts - Carla and Sabine!” Reichenbach smiled diabolically.

He looked at Carla: “Tie Sabine up. And tightly if you please! If I find your work sloppy, Sabine will receive additional punishment. Turn your face to the post, Sabine!” Reichenbach commanded. Sabine stood directly before the left post, so that she turned her back to them.‎

“You!” Reichenbach bellowed at Carla “Begin!” Carla took the first length of rope from the pile of black ropes. Reichenbach´s Voice stopped her in her tracks. “Put that in her mouth and the other pair in yours!” Carla turned around to her Boss: In his hands he held two large pairs of panties. “These are my daughter in law's I hope the taste is to your liking.”

Carla took the first Pair, made from black lace. Sabine opened her mouth resignedly and Carla pressed and prodded the large ball of silk home, till it had vanished behind Sabine’s teeth. It took all of Sabine´s Will Power to control her gag reflex. “Close your mouth and keep it in there” Reichenbach commanded her. “If that comes out, you will get two more and I will glue them in place!”

“Now your turn Carla!” He presented her with a large green Pair. Carla opened her mouth and stuffed the depressingly large wad in her own mouth. It was a tight fit, but she managed it to close her mouth.”

“Good”, Reichenbach looked appraisingly at them. “You may proceed Carla!” She took the first length of rope. Not daring to antagonize her master further, she tied Sabine as tightly as she could. When she was finished with Sabine´s upper body, her friend´s arms were welded tightly together. Tight bands of ropes above and below her ample breasts squashed them together. A third rope band held her bound wrists tightly against the small of her back.”

Carla continued with tying Sabine´s nylon clad legs together: Two bands above the knees, three below at ankles, calves and below the knees.

Reichenbach walked around Sabine´s controlling Carla´s work. Obviously content with what he saw he advised Carla: “Gag her!” Carla fetched the heavily padded Panel Gag and pressed its ball against Sabine´s lips and buckled it tightly.

Sabine´s eyes welled; her eyes stared wide eyed at Reichenbach who nodded. “Well done Carla! At least you still know how to tie somebody up properly.”

“Tie her now against the Post with the leather straps!” 10 Minutes later Sabine was all but welded against the Post by six broad leather belts.

Reichenbach turned to Carla: “Your turn”, he smiled maliciously at Carla.

30 Minutes later Carla was tied in the same fashion to the other post. As a finishing touch the old man had tied their big toes together.

Still Reichenbach was not finished. He inserted earbuds in their ears and blindfolded Carla and Sabine with heavily padded sleep masks.

Sabine tried to come to terms with the tightness of her bondage. Standing there for four hours would not be a walk in the Park, but all in all, she considered them lucky. Suddenly she felt the Post moving, which forced her to stand on tip toe. Sabine groaned inwardly.

Reichenbach took in the sight before him: The two tightly tied women, forced to stand on their toes like Statues.

“Listen to me!” Carla heard Reichenbach speaking. “I'm not totally heartless, so I will program your vibrators, so that you will get nice orgasms regularly. But you will never know when.

Then the world of the two guards became silent. Reichenbach had set their ear buds on cancelling mode.

Reichenbach went behind his desk and began to work, not in the slightest deterred by his two Guards.”

It would be a long evening for Carla and Sabine.


Later that evening outside the Restaurant Imperial, Nuremberg:

Kate watched Anna and Christine chatting amiably. Since Kate had made her ward talking first Anna was buying and Kate had chosen the Imperial. Dinner had been fabulous, now they sat outside the Restaurant at the Luitpoldstrasse sipping their wine.

Ever the skilled observer Kate could not overlook that she and her friends had all opted for comfort rather than style. Even Anna had voted for comfortable footwear, low heeled Mules from Burberry and a light red summer dress. Red was just the colour for the Russian Kate mused.

Christine wore an emerald green summer dress falling down midcalf. She too had decided for comfort: The Arizona Birkenstock Sandal dangling from her right foot. “Ah” Kate thought: “She has replaced the missing toe rings. Kate herself had gone with a light blue dress with comfortable sandals from Timberland.

She had called Castle before going to dinner and told him about all what had happened in Heidelberg. Castle being Castle, he had seriously contemplated flying over the Atlantic and joining them.

This hunt for the Weinstein-Collection was just the perfect plot for one of his mystery thrillers. Only that this was no fiction but reality.

She smiled when she looked at Christine and Anna. Before all the craziness had begun, they had known each other only superficially. Sure they had liked each other right from the start, but during the last two weeks something had changed.

What was it? Friendship? Kate felt as if she knew their friends for ages. She had the feeling, no, not just a feeling she corrected herself, she knew deep inside her that she could trust Christine and Anna totally, even with her life and so did they.

There was Christine: The great Artist, committed at everything she did, but with a soft and caring side. Kate knew that Chris had not shown that vulnerable side to very many people. Opening up that way made oneself vulnerable, something Kate knew by heart.

Kate considered herself lucky to be among those happy few, she remembered the scene at Uthörn, when she wanted to go for a run and found Christine playing the Piano. “You have a very distinctive vibe”, Christine had told her, when Kate had asked, how she had known that she, Kate, had been there.

And there was Anna, the mischievous jester, but beneath the bubbly easy going surface there was Anna the Action Girl who had taken Susanne von Stülpnagel out, without missing a beat, or the moment when Chris and Anna had rescued her from the sheep´s unwanted administrations at the Ellenbogen, or when Anna had helped her relax in Heidelberg. With Anna and Chris at her side, she had the feeling that she was ready for everything.

Kate must have been drifted off; she came back to reality, when she heard Christine saying to Anna. “What would I give to know, what Kate is thinking about?”

She looked at her friends, “Have I been that far away?”

Anna grinned: “You had that look on your face as if you were Lightyears away: What´s up Detective?”

Kate took a moment before answering: “I thought how lucky I am to know you, to be your friend and knowing you are mine. That you will have my back whatever happens.” The three looked at each other a moment of deep understanding passing between them; Kate waived at the waitress. “Dom Perignon, a bottle”, she told her.

When the bottle had arrived their glasses had been filled Kate took hers and toasted: “To Friendship!”

“To Friendship!” Christine and Anna chimed in and they clinked their glasses together.‎

A very simple but very effective chapter Caesar 🙂 I feel sorry for Carla and Sabine, although I admit I'd kinda love to be in that kind of bondage predicament myself lol.

Kate's kind words to Anna were so sweet, it's nice to see human moments like this between our protagonists. 😁
