WINBORN FARM
BETWEEN FULKING & EDBURTON, WEST SUSSEX
The land belonged to Harry Winborn, a prosperous
farmer currently serving as a sergeant with the 8th Army.
Harry's wife and young daughter were currently living with her
parents in Stafford and his fields had been apportioned among
his neighbors to be worked in his absence. The use of the
barn was also shared by the neighboring farms, but at this time
of year its space wasn't required and it was closed up and
secure, as were the other outbuildings and the main house—or
rather, had been until quite recently.
A contingent of female soldiers (believe it or not) had rolled
up in a modest convoy, posted an official notice on the front
gate, opened the house, and then started moving crates into the
barn. Once things were well underway, a female officer in
a jeep with a driver called on all the neighboring farms,
informing them that the house and its immediate environs had
been requisitioned as a temporary training facility and the
farmyard and house were now strictly off limits.
The officer and her soldiers struck the neighbors as...
odd. Not only were they women—"Blimey! Women in
arms! It ain't natural!"—but their uniforms were peculiar,
they saluted in a rather outlandish manner (with two fingers, no
less), and spoke with foreign accents, even the officer!
"Polish! They's Polish," Thom Tuppen announced at the
pub. "It's right there on the requisition notice.
They's with the 'Polish Independent Parachute Brigade'."
The somewhat relieved villagers nodded, and several checked for
themselves the next day. Someone
left a bouquet of flowers tied with a red and white ribbon. (Actually, it was Mary, Tom's daughter.
A nice girl, to be sure.)
The "Polish" troops kept strictly to themselves, visiting
neither the local pub and shops nor attending church on
Sunday. "They's Polish, so they's Catholic!" Peter Collins
pointed out, so that explained their absence from
services. It did not explain their lack of interest in the
pub. "They's Polish, so they only drink vodka," James
Harris stated, and all agreed that if anyone knew about drink,
it was Jimmy Harris.
Anyway, things quickly settled down to a new normal. The
locals left the female soldiers to their unspecified
training. There was the time the officer and a
sergeant returned a ten year old lad to his mother after he'd
been apprehended playing too close to the farmhouse, but so far
that was the only incident. The townsfolk agreed that it
was a good thing the women were there. They might be
foreigners, but they were Allies and were no doubt keen to punch
Hitler's ticket and free their homeland.
Meanwhile, in the basement of the farmhouse...
Two women were present, and neither was in uniform.
The first was a blonde, in her thirties, and quite attractive,
even glamorous—movie star glamorous. She was
smartly dressed in a hideously expensive, custom tailored suit,
the height of fashion in occupied Paris, and was smoking a Gaulois
Bleu in a cigarette holder.
The second woman was slightly younger, either in her late
twenties or early thirties. She was naked and reclined
full-length, flat on her back on a hard wooden table covered by
a dark gray wool blanket. Her curly hair was bright red
and her skin lightly freckled. She lay on the rough
blanket, unmoving and staring up at the smoking blonde.
"Frau Professor Doktor," the blonde purred, "I am zo
disappointed. Zhe Reich is disappointed. Hydra
is disappointed." She drew on the cigarette... then
exhaled. "I hope you don't mind if ve converse in
English," she continued. "I know you are fluent in our
native tongue, French, Russian, und Polish, vith at least
zcientific literacy, but mein, I mean my English is—vhat do zhey
say?—rusted. Und as ve are
currently on an active mission in zhe 'homeland of shopkeepers',
I must practice."
The naked redhead continued staring without moving and without
making any reply. Her eyes blinked and her breasts slowly
rose and fell as she breathed, but she was otherwise still.
"I vas against bringing you on zhis operation," the blonde
continued, "but vas overruled by my superiors. Your enthusiasm
for coming to England aroused my zuspicions." She took
another drag on the cigarette. "And as it turns our, my
instincts vere correct. Und zhank you for making your
notes on zhe use of zhese marvelous new drugs you haff developed
zo complete und comprehensive. Dosages, combinations,
precautions—it is
all right zhere in zhe documentation. Most
helpful."
The redhead continued staring... and breathing... and not
moving.
"Yes, I vas suspicious," the blonde purred, "und zho, I ordered
zhe drugs field tested on you, Frau Professor Doktor...
and you exposed yourself to be zhe traitor zhat you are.
You came here to defect to zhe Allies, not to serve zhe
Reich. Obviously, zhat is not goink to happen. You
will return to zhe Fatherland when our mission is complete, und
you vill continue your research under direct Hydra
zupervision at a Hydra facility, either as a zcientist... or as
a test zubject... or both."
The blonde snubbed out her cigarette, pocketed the holder, then
stood and continued smiling down at the redhead.
"According to your notes, zhe paralytic drug I gave you vill
wear off within zhe hour, und an immediate zecond doze might do
permanent neurological damage." She removed her fedora,
then unbuttoned and removed her stylish jacket. "I zuppose
I could have you locked in a room und place guards on
zhe door..." She reached under the table and lifted one of
several coils of hemp rope from the shelf under the redhead's
table. "Zhat zeems like an unconscionable vaste of highly
trained Hydra verdecktesoldaten. The blonde
released the retaining hitch, let the coil fall open, then
doubled it and found the center. "I have an alternative
zolution."
Over the next several minutes, rolling the redhead's limp body
as required, the blonde tied her wrists together behind her
back, her elbows about two inches apart, her knees, her ankles,
then trussed her arms against her torso, taking hitches around
her waist and yoking her shoulders. She continued taking
hitches, linking the redhead's various bonds into a unified
whole.
The blonde readied another coil for use, then smiled, paused,
and tossed the length of rope to the side. Still smiling,
she reached out and cupped the redhead's milky white breasts
with her two hands... and gently squeezed.
"You are very beautiful, Frau Professor Doktor," the
blonde said as her hands slid over the redhead's well-roped and
drug-paralyzed body. "I haff always had a veakness for
flaming red hair und... sommersprossen. I don't
know zhe English vord. Zpecks? Dapples?" Her
hand slid down the redhead's flat stomach
and she tugged on the bound captive's copper-red pubic
hair. "Zo very beautiful. Perhaps ve vill haff time
for a little playtime... later. For now, I must make sure
zhat vhen you are able, you will not be able to speak... or to
scream."
The blond pulled a strip of sacking from under the table.
Its length and width was similar to a scarf or cravat. She
tied a large overhand knot in the center of the cloth and pulled
it tight, then thrust it into the redhead's mouth and tied the
ends together at the nape of the redhead's neck, under her
tousled curls. The resulting thick, mouth-filling
cleave-gag was tight enough to make the captive's freckled
cheeks bulge.
Next, the blonde rolled the redhead onto her stomach, lifted her
bound ankles, and lashed them to her wrists, enforcing a
stringent hogtie. This caused some of the hitches linking
her bonds to slacken and others to tighten, but the blonde
solved this "problem" by taking additional hitches and removing
the slack. She used more rope to bind the redhead's shins
to her thighs, then crafted yet more linkages between her
various bonds.
"Und now," the blonde purred, "zhe pièce de résistance."
She gathered the redheads curls behind her head, tied a tight
hitch around the resulting bun, then tied it to her ankles,
feet, and big toes. Finally, she added a gag-to-ankles
rope, further reinforcing the cruel hogtie.
The result was an elaborately trussed bundle of freckled,
peach-pink flesh. The redhead was balanced on her taut
stomach with her pink breasts and thighs lifted off the gray
blanket, her body contorted, her spine bent, her wrists lashed
slightly past her ankles, and with taut ropes lifting
her chin and pulling back and immobilizing her gagged
head. The redhead was still unmoving, and now, thanks to
her stringently hogtied condition, was unable to focus on her
tormentor. Her blinking green eyes stared away into the
dark basement.
Just then, a female soldier in black boots and trousers, a
camouflage frock, a coal scuttle style helmet, and a black face
mask clumped down the basement stairs, snapped to attention, and
extended both arms in salute. "Heil Hydra!" she
barked.
"Heil Hydra," the blonde answered with a wry smile,
lifting her right palm in a casual return salute.
"Wir sind bereit, Frau Baroness," the soldier reported.
"In English, please," the blonde purred, "as per mission
protocol." Apparently, she was a Baroness.
"Ve are ready, Baroness," the soldier responded.
"Excellent," the Baroness chuckled.
"Should I have zhe security vatch check on zhis ungeziefer
while ve rest of us are gone?"
The Baroness smiled down at the naked, helplessly hogtied
redhead. "No, I don't zhink Frau Professor Dokter
Vogel vill be goink anyvhere, even after zhe drugs leave
her zystem." She donned her jacket, then her hat, and
headed for the stairs. The soldier followed... and the
door at the top of the stairs closed with a solid thud.
Back on the table, the redhead remained naked, hogtied, and
helpless.
Minutes passed.
The dim electric lights dangling between the basement rafters
continued burning. And then, the redhead's fingers
fluttered... slightly.
More minutes passed.
The redhead twitched... then wiggled... and finally, squirmed.
Yet more minutes passed, and it became clear that the "Frau
Baroness" was correct. The paralytic drug might be
wearing off, but Frau Professor Doktor Vogel wasn't
going anywhere.
