They both came out and sat down around the table. Lucia remained standing, but the Sergeant sat down.
"Sergeant Meadows feels we should leave. She doesn't think we can be protected here from a guy with a rifle. She said there's a motel she knows of where we might be safe. Any suggestions?"
Lucia spoke up from the kitchen. "We could go back to LA."
"I can't run my business from LA," I said, "as much as it would be the safest option. What about any of our parents places?"
"Jack has been to your parents and mine," Lisa said, "though I don't think he's been to Julia's."
"Mom and Dad only have a two bedroom apartment," Julia said, "and the spare bedroom is only a double bed. We might be able to squeeze in there, but I'm not sure we should put more of the people we love at risk. Jack knows my maiden name and met my parents. They're still in the phone book. He can find it without much difficulty if he's determined to find it."
"What about Jerry's, Chen's or Regina's places?" I asked.
"Jack knows where they all live due to poker," Lisa said, "and we'd still be putting our friends at risk."
"Then you think the motel?" I asked.
"Scott," Julia said, "I seriously doubt Jack would have a clue where MD lived, if you think she'd be willing to help out."
Mistress Dark. No, I doubt Jack would have a clue about her, and her house was big enough. The only question would be whether she'd wish to put us up.
"Excuse me a minute, officers, but that may be a possibility. I need to make a phone call. Excuse me a minute."
I went into the bedroom and closed the door. I hated to be calling her at this time of the day. It was only a little past four.
"Hello," Rose said sleepily, "who is this please?"
"I'm sorry to wake you, Rose. This is Scott Rivers. We have a bit of a situation. The person who raped Lisa and Julia shot up our house tonight. The police say we should leave. They don't believe they can protect us here at night. I have three people here in addition to myself. We were hoping Mistress Dark might allow us to stay there. The asshole is aware of where most of our families live."
"I'm so sorry, Master Scott. Let me give the phone to Mistress. We may be able to help."
There was silence as she woke up Mistress Dark.
"Scott, this is horrible. Was anyone harmed?"
"Good so far, and I'd like to keep it that way."
"Rose mentioned you have four people. Who's the fourth?"
"A friend from Los Angeles, here in town for a medical problem, though she's also our guardian angel. She's helped to protect us several times."
"Of course you can stay here. I'm looking forward to seeing the person who wished to play games with my slaves."
"I'll tell her of your interest. We were starting to work on your bed frame. Do you have a place to work on it."
"What would you need?"
"A workspace around fifteen feet square in which to sand, stain, varnish and drill. Any kind of shed, a place in the garage, an empty room which can get sawdust in it. We can put down drop cloths so we don't spill stain or varnish on your floors."
"You can use part of my garage. My bed, huh?"
"They just cut the lumber yesterday."
"It might be fun seeing it take shape. Bring what you need."
"Thank you, Mistress Dark."
"If you're going to be living here, you'll need to start calling me by my name."
"What is it?"
"Michelle Sombre."
"Sombre, is that French?"
"It is. Sombre means dark, hence my nom de plume, so's to speak."
I laughed. "I wondered where it came from. I thought it came from Elvira, Mistress of the Dark."
"I don't wear black that much."
"You don't wear much in the way of clothes at all in Mistress Mode. Thank you for helping us out. We'll see you shortly."
"You're welcome. I shall look forward to seeing your slaves again, especially the impertinent one. Goodbye for now."
I went back to the dining room table. Sergeant Meadows and Lucia were in earnest conversation.
"MD will let us stay there. Let's grab enough clothes for several days. We can bring the tools and the bed you're working on and whatever else we can fit in the truck. We'll take both vehicles. I'll have a few of my guys come over here and board up the windows that were damaged until we can fix them. MD's looking forward to seeing us, especially you, Julia."
"I understand, Scott," she said, unconsciously rubbing her bottom.
"Scott," Lucia said, "the Sergeant and I were discussing the drive. Since we don't know if Jack has found other transportation, we thought it best to take a convoluted route and see if anyone is following us. Why don't you lead in the truck, and Julia can follow you in the car. An officer will follow in a squad car. I will be in the back of the car. Make several turns and double backs on the way. I'll watch to see if anyone but the squad car follows us. This is Sergeant Meadows card with her phone. You can call her once the coast is clear and she'll pull the officer." She handed me the card. "I already have her number on my phone."
"Sounds good. Lisa, ride with me and while Julia is driving, call Reneé and Janet and tell them they won't be working here today. We'll call them when we know when they can start again. Let's get busy. The officers are waiting."
Everyone got up and got busy. We all got dressed to leave, packing some clothes for a few days. I had more than the other three put together since they knew where we were going and I still needed clothes to work. I called Jerry after we we were packed and ready to go, asking him to arrange for some of our crew to come board up my broken windows first thing as I'd be late to work and I'd give him more details later. I said he should keep Reneé from coming today or any day until he heard from us.
There was a moment when there was a lull in the activity. The truck and car were loaded and we were ready to go. Sergeant Meadows asked, "I notice that Lucia doesn't have a wedding ring. Is she in a committed relationship?"
"You'll have to speak to her if you're interested. Her situation is complicated."
"Complicated how?"
"Speak to her and she'll let you know if she's available. I don't know."
She did take a few minutes to speak to her and though she had a puzzled look on her face when they finished, she did have a smile as well, so it couldn't be all bad news.
We both backed out and I took the lead. Julia followed me and there was a squad car behind her. Following Lucia's plan, I didn't drive straight there. I made several different turns, circling blocks, back tracking randomly. In the rear view mirror, I never saw anyone but Julia and the police car make all the turns with us. I depended on Lucia to make the final determination. When she told me we didn't have a tail, I believed her. I let Sergeant Meadows we didn't have a follower and I saw the squad car peel off about two miles before Mistress Dark's home.
As I drove, Lisa made several phone calls, telling Janet and Chen what happened and not to come today. She also called our parents and told them what happened and warned them to stay away. They wanted to know why we weren't coming there, and Lisa told them Jack knew where they lived and we didn't want them in danger too.
Someone must have been watching for us, as Slut came out with the briefest of outfits. She said we could unload our bed supplies in the garage and the door opened as she told us. Julia and Slut took our clothes into the house while the rest of us unloaded the truck to the garage, then the garage door came down. Rose led us inside where Mistress Dark was waiting for us in the kitchen. I'd never seen any part of her house except for the dungeon she maintained.
Mistress Dark greeted us. "I imagine you didn't have breakfast this morning. Rose is making pancakes. Help yourself to whatever is on the table."
"Thank you, Michelle," I said. "This is unexpectedly nice. As you might expect, we didn't get much sleep last night. I have to go to work, but the women might appreciate a nap this morning."
"Slut will show them to their rooms after you eat. We won't disturb them."
Julia went up to Mistress Dark and sank to her knees in front of her.
"Mistress, I apologize deeply for playing with your slaves without permission. It was wrong of me to do so and I will pay whatever penalty you feel is appropriate."
MD patted her cheek. "I know you will, dear. We'll discuss your punishment when your Master returns this evening. For now, eat and rest. You've gone through a bad few weeks."
"Since you're now in a safe location, slaves may remove your clothing," I said.
All three of them removed their clothes. Mistress Dark noted Lucia's disrobing with interest.
"Have you gained a third slave, Scott," Mistress Dark asked.
"No, this is Lucia. She's Brianna Worth's sex slave. She's staying with us while seeking medical help. Lucia, this is Mistress Dark, a friend and her two slaves, Rose, currently cooking and Slut, who greeted us outside."
"I'm pleased to meet you, Mistress Dark. Thank you for having us in your home."
"Welcome, Lucia. I greatly admire your Mistress. She sells lovely jewelry."
"I will tell her how much you appreciate it, Mistress."
"Well, eat up and Slut will show you to your rooms."
Everyone ate hearty, the night having been short and the tension high. Afterward, Slut showed us our rooms, two smallish bedrooms with queen size beds and not much else. Both were set up for Mistress Dark's business, which to a large extent, was training dominants and submissives. There were various tie down points around the room and cages under the bed.
"We aren't affecting Mistress Dark's business at all, are we Slut?" I asked.
"No, Master. Her business goes up and down. We have more on the weekend usually as people work during the week."
"If she has to turn down business due to our presence, please let me know. I'll try to make it up to her. Perhaps we can sell her the furniture we're making at a discount to her until we're gone."
"I'll inform her, Master. I'm sure she'll appreciate the gesture, but we rarely have all rooms filled."
Slut left and I said to the others, "It looks too crowded to all sleep together. It appears we'll need to sleep two by two again."
"You have no objection to the three of us napping in one bed, do you, Master?" Lisa asked.
"None at all. I'll see you all tonight. I'm thinking of using Uber or Lyft to get around, or even renting a car for you to use as I don't want Jack to spot our car driving around."
"His most likely method of finding us here is to follow you from your workplace, Master Scott," Lucia said. "Regardless of your vehicle, if you go to work, he can see what you drive and follow you. You will have to take the same precautions you took today every time you come here."
"Shit! You're right."
"You might be able to get around it, Master," Julia said. "Have Jerry bring any new paperwork to a job site every day. Don't go to the office. Only go to work locations. Jack won't know where you're working. If we do our shopping around here, it's unlikely he'll find us. This would not be somewhere he'd hang around."
"This is seriously going to mess with my normal work flow, but I don't see any other choice. I hate that fucker with a passion."
"Us too, sir," Lisa said. "Me more than anyone. I feel it's my fault he's in our lives."
"How could anyone know what a psycho he is," Lucia said, comforting her. "Most people don't have these kinds of problems with their exes."
I kissed each of them goodbye, even Lucia. I don't know how we'd have gotten along without her. She might have saved our lives last night. I left for work telling Jerry to bring me all the paperwork to the job site I was at yesterday.
