It wasa long wait. It takes an average of one minute to sell a slave. Towardthe end of the sale, the rate slows down because the pleasure slavescreate...a more active auction. While we waited we are watered whileOverseers keep us quiet. Step by step I get closer to the doorway.Finally just before I get to the door, a bucket of water is thrown overme and an Overseer places ten quick strokes of Her crop on my ass.At the door, I 'm released from the chain and led to a platform. Sixfeet high, it is. "You don't sound like Kindee either. You speak the accent of the savages of the east," the old man said."I'm of the Trapi," Taima said. "I was of the Trapi."The old man was silent for a moment as he turned his empty gaze back to the west. Absently he scratched his beard and sucked his cheeks once and then once again."You are an untouchable," the old man finally said. "Why?" I don't know for sure. I asked the second daughter of the goat master for bed rights," Taima said, unable to lie for some. Adam seemed annoyed but before I could say anything, mister cotton clothes tapped me on the shoulder."Uh, I'd like to feel your breast, please," he told my left nipple.I threw him The Glare but he didn't notice."It's OK, right?" he asked. "As a Reasonable Request?" Yeah, OK, have your fun," I said, but then I immediately turned toward Adam."Are you still pissed about that scene in the gym this morning?" I asked Adam. "Is there something you want to talk about?"Adam turned to face me, then. "All high and mighty; telling me what to do. I don't take orders from women do you hear"I felt uncomfortable."She's beauty though." Bill," I said thinking what kind of name was that for a French man? "What have you done?"He didn't reply to my question.The man just smiled again and opened a rickety bar type door and we both stepped through into the hot dusty outhouse. The planks on the walls had splinters which allowed shafts of light in and I stood there dumbfounded.In the shack facing away.
