`` You see, that one comes from a ... unlike backdrop. She is n't currently offered for sale. '' Richard 's middle gleamed, clearly wanting to evidence me how he came into possession of such a piece of property.

'' Oh ? '' I took the bait.

'' It 's a bit of a unique story, really, '' he started. `` She was picked up in New England when she was XV and ended up being his personal piece. The kid who took her says she was the unadulterated target, sitting in an airport alone at one AM. '' My gaze drifted back to the slight girl perched in the corner as he continued to talk. `` The kid did everything right, and she did n't even fight him, '' Richard paused, waiting for me to react.

'' So she 's simple. '' I cut in. Certainly only a very decelerate daughter would allow herself to be taken by a virile stranger without a fight, no subject how attractive he was- that just is n't normal.

'' She 's actually as smart as a whip, '' he countered. `` She was clearheaded enough to know sound than to get in a fistfight with a guy twice her size of it. '' I considered that for a moment, and then motioned for him to stay on. `` So she went with him, and the kid thought it was because she was totally in dear. He ended up keeping her, putting her up in his flat in Lope Felix de Vega Carpio and spending all his time with her when he was n't out snatching more girls for his political boss. But then he decided he wanted to rail her to be a sub instead of just his young woman, and that was where he had a trouble. ``

I interrupted again, skeptically. `` Is she not submissive ? '' The young woman was sitting alone with her back pressed into a nook, methodically playing solitaire on the floor in front of her. She had n't met either of our gazes when we walked in, and had n't picked her head up since. She appeared to be a textbook submissive.

'' She is, very much so, I 'm getting to that. Anyways, the kid could n't work out out how to make her listen to him, and did n't experience the metre or knowledge to put the work in. So, he shipped her off and had mortal else do it for him. Now this was a very reputable facility, and the girl is a natural, an absolutely perfect student and very respectful, so of course, she was trail very correctly. When the kid got her back, he had a much less neat technique and could n't get what he wanted out of her. He got wild, and she behaved worse as a result. He beat her senseless and turned her over to his gaffer, and said he did n't want her anymore. Obviously the boss knew that the kid was nifty at his job and not a great deal else, and said that he would involve tending of it. Fortunately, he saw potentiality in the girl the kid had n't seen, so he patched her up and is boarding her here to be rehabbed and sold. ``

'' Wow, '' I said, shocked she had gotten so lucky. `` So what 's she been doing for however long since then ? '' I was very odd as to how one would even jump fixing a mistake like that.

'' Well, when she arrived, she had a concussion, broken ribs and finger and was bruised everywhere, and she had already been healing from it for two weeks. I tried to get some of the gentler males here near her after she healed up, but she 's absolutely terrified of them. I contacted the gentleman's gentleman who trained her the first clock time, and he said that she needs a firm hand to do anything that she does n't want to do, which honestly, I do n't have right now '' He paused. `` If it 's going to be done, it needs to be done right, and I 'd rather she just sit until then, you know ? ``

'' And then she 'll be for sales agreement ? '' I asked.

'' Yes, my associate wants her in a unspoiled home, so it may be awhile. If the right somebody wanted her raw, I guess I 'd commit her up then too ... '' He drifted off, watching my facial expression carefully.

I laughed, `` You know me too well, Richard. I 'm here looking for something hush, but I 'll think about it. ``

'' necessitate all the time you need, of class. '' He answered. `` I do n't design on giving her away to just anyone, and I was hoping you would take pursuit because I know you 'd do a in force job with her. ``

'' Well, '' I ventured. `` I 'd have to adjoin her offset, obviously anything too extreme would be out of the interrogation ... ''

'' Yes, '' he agreed. `` She needs a gentle hand, and to get back into body of work slowly, so I ca n't offer a distinctive sample of the purchase like I generally would. ``

I considered the fling for a moment. `` That 's fine, why do n't you schedule a prison term for me to meet her, talk to her, maybe see what I 'd be working with ? '' I needed to know I was n't taking on a hopeless situation, or biting off more than I could chew. My eyes drifted back to the miss, who was shuffling her circuit board with long, svelte fingers. Her straight, red tomentum fell in her typeface, and I could see how yearn her legs were from where they were folded under her slim soundbox. She was absolutely beautiful, but tapping into her intellect would be an unbelievable amount of work. I was weighing danger versus reward when Richard interrupted my thought process,

'' I obviously ca n't give her away for resign, since she 's so physically ideal, '' he started, `` But she is very damaged and considered difficult, so I can volunteer her at a discount you 're unlikely to see anywhere else. ``

My mind was made up. `` catch her and bestow her somewhere we can lecture, and I 'll make a decision then. ``

Richard smiled, and motioned for one of his attender. After he relayed the message, we exited the way. Down the hall, there was a well-off couch I took a seat in to expect for the girl to arrive. As he walked out to get her information, Richard said, `` I know you said you 're looking for something quieter, and you 've found it. The whole time I 've had her, she has n't said a word. ``

'' Mr. carter, this is Ari, an xviii year old redheaded female, weighing one hundred and twenty four pounds, standing five understructure eight inches tall. '' Richard continued to list her various measure as I appraised the bod in front of me. She was improbable and incredibly slender, with beautifully long legs. Everything about her was long and thin except her grimace, which was modelesque, with a defined jaw, minor nose dusted with freckles, and ice blue eyes. Those center examined me in a standardized way, but her face betrayed no emotion. She wore her satiny red hair effortlessly behind her shoulder, where it streamed all the way down her book binding. She was exquisite. I could see her nipple hardening with the assuredness air in the way through her Zane Grey tee shirt, and I smiled. Physically, she was double-dyed. Now, all I needed to worry about was harnessing her mind. `` Ari, could you please say hello to Mr. Carter ? '' Richard inquired.

The girl looked at me with round eyes, and waved once with her left hand handwriting.

I smiled as warmly as I could at her. `` hullo, Ari, '' I said. `` You 're a very pretty miss, would you like to make out a little closer ? '' At my compliment, some of the tautness in her face disappeared, but she shook her top dog no to my question and dropped her gaze to the floor. Richard and I exchanged glance, and he shrugged. I tried again, `` Ari, add up to me please, now. '' I purposely dropped my vox, and used a more control tincture, since being gentle did n't seem to wreak. To my surprise, she took three tone closer, where she was just out of arm 's reach. Over her shoulder, Richard smiled. `` Good girl, '' I murmured to her, and watched her shoulder relax a little at the reinforcement. I stood up slowly, ( I thought I would appear less intimidating to the terrified girl if I was seated when she entered ) and tilted her forefront up with a finger, leveling her bluing gaze with mine. She flinched as I touched her, but held an firm eye contact with me until I dropped my hand. `` That 's a good lady friend, '' I said again, trying to put her at rest. Her eyes softened, and the corners of her mouth curved up in the beginning of a grin. I returned it, and knew I was sold on her.

Richard expedited the paperwork so I could take my new purchase home that day, and by five o'clock we were having a drink to celebrate a new beginning for Ari and for me. He handed me a bag with her belongings, uncommon for a slave. I was surprised to see a pass, driver 's license, and an iPhone among them. In summation, there were a pair of argent rings, a pair of earrings, and a pair of expensive looking sunglasses. I raised my eyebrows at Richard, and he laughed heartily. `` I told you she was unlike, recall ? I 've never seen a girl like this before. '' I raised an supercilium at him. `` I have n't even told you the good part yet ! She self ships, no questions asked. '' He leaned back in his chair, and let what he just told me sink in. I was in awe ... moving slaves was a tiresome inconvenience, often expensive and hard to arrange for something that is so everyday for a normal person.

'' You 've got to be kidding me, '' I started. `` How does one even begin to train that ? The amount of risk ... '' I trailed off, imagining what could potentially happen with bringing a captive girl into an airport.

Richard grinned and answered, `` you have to bug out with a workable creative thinker, and this lady friend has it. She flew here, on her own. ``

Had I been a cartoon part, this would be when my jaw would be on the floor. A teenaged missy, brutalized and disposed of by her owner had made this misstep entirely on her own ? I could n't even begin to sympathize it. I was about to ask more head, but a tranquillity doughnut from the phone on Richard 's desk interrupted. It was the out processing office, I could now leave with my new purchase.

Richard thanked me sincerely for taking on such a challenge, and reminded me to be aristocratic with her. `` She 's been aim very well, '' he said, `` and she 'll give it to you, but only if you ask correctly. You have to give it time. '' I took these words very seriously, as there 's a reason that Richard has been successful in this stage business so long. I left the agency and walked down the scant hallway that led to the private road, eager to return to my hotel and embark on creating a plan to fix this girl.

I pushed the with child room access subject just in time to see Ari spin powerfully and smash her elbow joint into a guard 's typeface. As he fell backwards to his knees holding his bleeding nose, she kicked him straight on his spinal column, and looked to the former one to gainsay her. It was evident he had tried to ram her into the SUV, and she was n't having it. There was fire in her eyes I had n't seen before, and clearly some self Defense Department training that I had n't been told about. She held her arms in a protective stance, waiting for the side by side assailant to occupy her on. I glanced over to the other safety, but he was already looking to me for direction.

'' Ari, '' I called. Her fierce eyes flashed to me. Knowing she had lost the element of surprise and I outweighed her by quite a bit, I started to walk slowly towards her. `` It 's fourth dimension to get in the car now, because we 're leaving. '' I pointed to the door, which was still unfold. She balked, and I reiterated, `` In the car, now. '' After narrowing her eyes in displeasure, she dropped her position and climbed in quietly, disappearing into the sinister Interior Department. After nodding to the guard that was still on his feet, I climbed in after her and shut the threshold .
