Summary: It is the year 2036, the United States has built a maximum-security prison where you go in and can never get out. It is built in the middle of the desert where it is a four-day walk in any direction and is monitored by motion sensors and satellite imaginary.
It is called The William Jefferson Clinton Memorial Federal Prison (inside joke). The prisoners call it the Seven Circles of Hell. It is a lifer prison with no guards and no rules. The prisoners make their own rules. A tall, dark, blue-eyed female warrior who calls herself the Conqueror has ruled it for six years.
A young, green-eyed, golden-haired blond reporter is sent to Hell for a crime she didn't commit. A powerful and ruthless corporate raider must silence the young woman who learned too many secrets. Upon entering Hell, the young woman is given a vital mission that will lead her to the Conqueror.
Part 12
Chapter 10: Revelations
The Conqueror poured over the various files and transcripts and decided that the three musketeers (as Doc referred to Allison, Gay and herself) had to talk tonight. Dana had discovered something very interesting and it was time to make some decisions. It was pleasant to sit and rule over a peaceful growing community. But it could go on indefinitely.
The growing part was good and bad. They had limited resource. This was fixed area. They couldn't expand any further. Soon the natural population would exceed the prison population. Unless they were allowed to expand into the surrounding areas, there would have to population control. That would mean controlling the number births and the number of living bodies.
The Conqueror could deal with such decision, but she knew Gay would fight her on. Besides she didn't want to have to make those decisions.
Now this news came. And Dana knew that the party was over it was time to act. It didn't just involve this prison any longer. It effected the entire country. And with this being the strongest and wealthiest country. That meant the entire world. This was big.
Dana, Allison and Gay sat in the bed-crossed leg and eating Gay's favorite, Kung Pau Chicken with noodles. Dana started the show with a revelation, "Allison, your first day here I told Gay that she had been framed of the murders that got her put in here. Originally, I just wanted to put her mind at ease. I knew those murders weighed heavily on her."
Allison took her idol's hands in hers and said, "Oh, Gay, I am so sorry that they did that to you, but I am not sorry that you are here. I would never have know the happiness you have shown me."
Gay was moved, but Gay knew that this girl would have been far better off if they had never met. Gay's emerald green eyes locked with Allison blue green eyes and she replied, "Thank you, Sweetness, but your life would have been better if I hadn't have touched it."
Allison reached out and slapped Gay's face. It shocked Gay to her toes. Dana was angry at first, no one could slap her consort and live, but she looked at the young woman with the anger in her eyes and her anger melted. Dana could hurt neither of these women and she knew it. They could cut her heart and the feared Conqueror would just smile.
Allison angrily said, "You will not talk that way. I have listened to your apologies. I have listened to your explanations. I have listened to your self-recrimination. I will listen to it no more.
You think you have ruined my life. And how you just taken me and used my body as sport, you would have been right. But that is not what you did, you have loved me and cared for me. You have taught me to defend myself and to help others. You have given me power and responsibility. You have molded me into a new person.
I love you and will not have you belittle that with your stupid self-recriminations. I will not have it I tell you. I am not a victim. I could have been. I was willing then to let you make me a victim, but these passed months you have molded me into a person that refuses to be a victim of anyone. That includes the two of you, because I love you both and would give willingly any of myself to either of you."
Gay had tears running down her face with her own thoughts, 'Could I have wrought such iron in the girl. It wasn't there that terrible night. I took this girl's innocence. How can I explain to her that I mourn that loss without hurting her by belittling her present self? I want her to have the self should have been had I not been stupid. She loves me and defends me. She even justifies what I did to her. I am so unworthy.'
Dana could read that there was still regret in what Gay did to the young woman, but Dana knew Gay's actions had damage the girl that was. However, Gay had to realize that the girl that was, is no longer and will never be again. So she said, "Gay, she is a worthy concubine. I will take her as my second consort. I will announce it tomorrow. Gay, Allison is not the girl you first met. She has grown. You must accept that. You must accept who she is now. Not look at her as she was."
Gay with her head down said in final attempt, "But I took her innocence from her. I am no better than Chun, who I had castrated for his rapes of the innocent."
Allison nearly screamed at Gay, "Look at me."
Gay met Allison's eyes and Allison said, "You took nothing I wasn't willing to give. I was naive, but I was not stupid. I had thought long and hard about what I wanted before I came back to you. Had you wanted to strap me over a bed of coals, I would have done it. Yet, all you did was make love to me tenderly and softly.
You think it was puppy love and adulation. Well, it may have started that way, but that night you made me feel loved and I liked it. I want more of it. I want you to give me more of yourself.
When we make love, I can feel you holding back. You take nothing from me, but give me everything. It hurts me when you do that. You see, I love you and want all of you, not just your guilt.
You didn't take my innocence. You didn't steal my virtue. You didn't rape me. I gave them to you voluntarily, as a gift. Yet, you have not accepted them as gifts, but as burdens. And that hurts me more than any lovemaking or rough sex."
Gay looked into the young woman's eyes and saw nothing but love. She saw no recriminations, no hate, just love. For the first time since that night Gay felt clean. She reached out and took her concubine's hands and kissed them. Then she sucked on her fingers, one at a time and said, "Later."
Dana moved by the moment both in her heart and in her groin spoke to get this meeting back on track, "Ladies, we have some vital business to discuss here. Maybe I should have done this in a more formal setting. I thought to put you guys at ease, but this is more ease than I anticipated."
Both Gay and Allison laughed at Dana's half smile and raised eyebrow. They knew that look. She was turned on. So Gay decided to right the sinking ship, "So, you have obviously found some new information about my frame up. So what is the news."
Dana found it difficult to shift gears for a moment, which made both of her consorts giggle. She hated when they did that, it embarrassed her, which made her blush, which made they giggle even more. It was vicious cycle of giggling to ever increasing embarrassment. So she cleared her throat in her regal I'm-to-talk-so-giggling manner and said, "I know who did, why they did it and how they did it. Are you interested?"
All giggling stop and Gay said, "Oh, yeah"
Dana started out with a know fact to Gay, "Just before your accident at your dojo, you had just turned in a preliminary report on the company Stratiotis o Masonos. An input export company that specializes in Greek antiquity."
Gay broke in and expanded on Dana's knowledge, "Yes, I found out they had some dubious sidelines. I asked to investigate them further. I wanted to do a series on them. I hoped to expose their illegal activities. One of which is they are building a mercenary army somewhere in the Southwest."
Dana continued, "You had no details. So you asked for a research team. So you could fill in the blanks. That, my dear, was your only mistake. Your editor told Stratiotis o Masonos of your intentions. He was paid $250,000 for the information. That is when the plan to set you up went into action.
Your playmate at the dojo, Teisei, he was paid $250,000 to damage you. So the phony paramedics could knock you out and take you to a private hospital. Where they pumped you full of drugs. To make you look like an addict. Meanwhile they decided to kill several birds with one stone. This was a mistake. It's what led me to all the other facts.
The police officer that was killed was also working on a case that was leading to Stratiotis. The other two men were rival drug dealers to Stratiotis. They were independents that refused to knuckle under. So they thought they had it made, get rid of you the cop and two rivals all in one neat package."
Gay said, "Son-of-a ... I had no idea they were into drugs. I knew about weapons and the mercs, but not about the drugs."
Dana replied, "You weren't supposed to Gay that why you had to be stopped before you found out. You were getting too close. They knew with your street sources, you would find out in no time."
Gay asked, "Why the frame? Why not just kill me?"
Dana looked at each other with a sigh Allison and burst into laughter. Her modesty was a great source of amusement for her two lovers. Dana said, "Gay, Honey, you don't kill so easily. They knew that. They needed something a little more sure shot. Plus your murder would have triggered another investigation. They had no idea who you had told about their operation. So they had to discredit you.
They had hoped that you would have been fried for the cop's murder. They hadn't counted on the plea bargain. When that happen, they pulled some strings and got you sent here on the first available shipment. That was their second mistake. You arrived with a very special team of people with particular skill set, which enabled you to an instant power.
I have no doubt that you would have become a power in time. You are way too talented. Cream always rises to the top, but I don't think it would have happen so quickly if it weren't for the special nature of your team."
Gay said, "Now, I know the rest of the story. It fills in the gaps. Thank you, those gaps were bothering me. But it is very frustrating, not to be able to do anything about it."
Dana said, "That's not all there is to it Gay. Think it through. Did you ever locate the location of this secret army."
"No, and that's strange, because how can you hide something that big even in the Southwest," replied Gay.
Allison's eyes widen with inspiration and said with quiet knowledge and acceptance, "We're the army."
Dana smiled and was very pleased and impressed and said, "Allison, I am impressed. Gay was right about you. She's right, think about it. You're a commander, how do you train an army."
With clear knowledge of the correctness of this revelation, she said, "You train the in discipline, combat skills, tactics and teamwork. Damn, just like I've been doing."
Dana countered, "We've been doing, Darling. Not only that you have given them their officer class. Your imperial guards are the best-trained and most disciplined soldiers in Hell. Not only have we trained them, but also we've hardened them. They're season veterans. Not green unproven troops."
Gay queried, "But the armies are ours they can't control them. The troops are personally loyal to us. They wouldn't follow any others, except maybe Allison."
"Except if they wanted to avenge you, Gay. Even I couldn't control them if they wanted blood vengeance for you," replied Dana, "They don't know we're on to them they probably think that if they offered us our freedom and freedom for everyone here, we'd deal."
Gay nodded and said, "You're right and I would have dealt if I hadn't know the rest of it. I would have felt obligated to help my people. And yes, I now think of them as my people. Damn, I hate this much responsibility."
Allison said shyly, "There is one more way they could get you to work for them."
Gay asked, "How?"
Dana answered, "By holding Allison hostage. Gay, if they held Allison or me, and that was their demand, what would you do."
Gay's only response was, "Damn!"
Dana next response started Gay thinking, "You weren't the only one set up by these bastards. So was Honey and me."
Gay looked up with a hurt expression, "Honey and you?"
Dana explained, "Yeah, you know Honey was rich and a great businesswoman. She owed and operated a multinational conglomerate that Stratiotis wanted to control. Honey won't knuckle under, so they set her up. That babe was a plant to sneak the drugs on board her ship. With Honey out the way they took over, they thought."
Gay asked, "What do you mean they thought?"
Dana further explained, "They underestimated Honey. She liquidated everything piecemeal to a lot of different companies and single owners. Then she banked the proceeds in number accounts all the over the world. They got zip. Honey was smart and ruthless. She knew they did it so she screwed them."
Gay said sadly, "Too bad she's gone, she could have been a lot of help."
Dana then shocked her, "She left everything to you."
Gay replied, "What?"
Dana handed her a paper and said, "I got this right after Honey's death. It's a note, a cd and a will. She left everything to you. By her instructions, I wasn't to tell you, unless I thought it necessary. The cd is encrypted. You have to know the password. In her note, she said you would know without being told."
Gay said one word, "Love."
Allison then asked, "Tall, dark and extremely gorgeous, how were you framed?"
Dana responded, "Oh, Sweetness, I wasn't framed. I killed every one of those agents and a couple more. What I wasn't, was a rouge agent. I was set up not framed. I was under orders, I thought, to do what I did. At first I thought I was just set up by my controllers. But I've done a little digging and found the orders were phony. My supervisor was paid $1,000,000 to set me up."
Gay asked, "Why?"
Allison answered, "They needed a general to lead their army. She thinks her country betrayed her. They offer revenge. Boom, instant avenging demon. Sorry, Hon, you're beautiful, but you're still a dark beauty.
Dana agreed with a nod and said, "It would have work, but then Gay happened. She moved me with how she could be so effective as a warlord and still be beneficial to the common good. But the weight of all that death was getting to her.
I knew it, but at first I didn't know if I should do anything about or push her even further down the slope. So I set up a test, a harsh test, Honey. When Gay swore allegiance to me in spite of what I did to Honey, I knew she wasn't a plant.
They must of saw an opportunity to get two generals for the price of one though. They saw that Gay was being held together by Honey's love for her. So they decided to give Gay a little push down a dark path. They arrange Honey's death. They figured it would send you over the edge. What you did to Chun was very cruel. I beat they thought they succeeded."
Gay commented, "That means Chun was in on it."
Dana responded, "Somewhat, Chun was probably just a pawn. The brains of the rebel movement probably duped him. Chun was ready to cave to you, and then something or someone changed his mind."
Allison injected, "But Gay came out of it."
Dana replied, "This is true. So decided she needed one more push. So they put you in her path. They knew you two would be attracted to each other. So with subtle pushes here and there they got the desired effect. They just didn't count on you two failing love."
Allison became very frightened and asked, "Was father in on it?"
Dana said, "I don't think so. I know your father. It's not his style. No I think you father was given subtle nudges in the right directions. And I think someone saw to it he stayed the correct course."
Gay eyes grew very cold and realization set in, "General Hazzard, the bastard, I could have really damaged Allison, both physically and mentally. He is a dead man. I want him Dana. I want him now."
Dana smiled and said, 'What Gay wants, Gay gets."
Dana led her two lovers out onto the balcony and there on a cross was the broken body of General Hazzard.
Gay's next response was scary by its implication; "We have to take control this facility. It's only way to stop them."
Dana nodded and said, "My conclusion exactly."
Allison inserted, "If you take the facility, it will mean war. You will have to fight to protect the facility."
Gay responded, "Not if we play it smart. We take the facility in such a way that they don't know we took. Then, we give the appearance of everything going on as usual. Except..."
Dana continued, "We'll be gearing up to protect ourselves."
Allison added, "We'll have to take over the surrounding towns and isolate the area. It won't last forever."
Gay nodded, "You're right, but we can be gearing up. Dana you have any contacts in the weapons busy. Once we take over, we going to need to get some heavy stuff to negate their air support."
Dana smiled, "I have many skills. But tomorrow we formulate our plans. Tonight we have wounds to heal, because we will need each other's strength."
Allison looked forlorn and said, "I don't see what I bring to this union. I am the least experienced. I have less combat skill than even the weakest Amazon. I am just an ornament."
This got both Dana and Gay very angry. But Gay was the first to speak, "I will not hear you talk this way. You are bright and quick. Look at our conversation tonight. You showed keen insight and quick judgment. You will not belittle yourself again."
Dana smiled and said, "Okay you two kiss and makeup. I told you, it's time for some healing."
Dana removed herself from the bed and sat in Gay's rocker. Satan, Dana's favorite cat jumped into her lap. Dana just scratched the cat and watched her two lovers heal each other and herself.
Gay and Allison started removing the plates, cups and eating utensils. Then Gay pulled the young woman into her arms and said, "Tonight I give you what you want. I will take from you."
Allison grabbed Gay with one hand on side of her face and drew her in for a passionate exchange of probing tongues. Allison leaned Gay down to the bed, while maintaining the kiss. Allison opened Gay's robe and began to run her hands over the taunt warm body.
Allison ran the robe off of Gay's body. The young woman licked her lips in anticipation and slid her palms up Gay's thighs until her fingers notched in the legs of the warrior's undergarment. She began to tug at the garment when a wickedly anticipating smile crossed her face.
Allison's body was starting to flush with desire. Gay got a clue and an erotic grin plastered itself on her face. She helped by easing her hips up and then stepping out of the piece one leg at a time. Allison set it aside carefully. Her eyes took on a voluptuous gleam.
Allison could have screamed at that moment. The young woman could feel her passion's moistness flow between her own legs. Allison's belly tingled with want. She could smell Gay's aroma and found it more than appetizing. Allison craved more.
Gay parted her legs so her young lover could get a better view. The honey haired woman stared at what Gay's offering and thought it was worth more than any treasure trove. She reached a hand tentatively, exploratively. Allison's innocent study of Gay's wet slit led her to remark, almost to herself, "glorious."
Allison touched the outer edge of Gay's folds with gentle fingers and felt the gathering of moisture that daubed the tips of the woman's golden curls. Gay's body was responding with desire and passion. Allison explored further by dipping her finger in carefully and sliding it along Gay's exposed slit.
Allison tentatively at first, moved slowly and hovered for a few seconds, just getting a feel for the proximity of Gay's warm body, the smells and the sounds. Now she would taste. It was slick on her tongue and tasted sweeter than she'd expected. The young lover closed her eyes and moaned.
Allison felt Gay's hips arch toward her a little. The young woman embraced the opportunity. Her desire to dazzle and surprise Gay disappeared into a fine mist of passion and desire. Now she was just enjoying, letting her mouth caress Gay in its own way. Allison lapped hungrily. Her tongue playing lightly with the excited clit. The young lover relished each provocative movement of Gay's hips. Goddess this was bliss.
Gay could take no more and said with passion, "Take me!"
Allison pushed three fingers into the very lubricated slit and started pumping the enrage orifice. Then, she starting gently nipping the engorged clit. Gay arched her back and exploded in a wave of passion. On her fifth orgasm she pulled the young to her and licked her essence from the young woman's face. Then, Gay sucked each finger clean.
Unable to contain herself any longer, Dana hopped into the bed and said, "That was intense. My turn!"
They explored each other thoroughly throughout the night. Taking turns in ecstasy. They explored every inch of each other's bodies, as if they were memorizing them as not to forget. Tomorrow they would plot and plan for the future. Tonight was for them. Tonight was for the present.
