Troy looked at Glenda hopefully. His mouth was still filled with the distasteful flavour of her pussy. He was praying that in the afterglow of her orgasm, he could ply her for information, and maybe some other favours.
"Oh, Troy, I dunno," Glenda said with a frown. "Momma doesn't really believe in phones, 'cept for emergencies. She thinks it keeps people from really talkin', you know, like face to face."
Troy was struggling inside. He needed to talk to his mother. As angry as she had been with him, there was no way she could have known what sick indignities he was in for on this farm. She would rescue him. He was sure of it.
"You really miss your mom, huh?" Glenda said, her voice full of concern.
"Yeah. I do."
"Ok, Tiger, look, uh..."
Glenda sort of looked back and forth, as if she was concerned that they were being watched, or someone was eavesdropping on their conversation. Troy took careful note of it. There was no way this place was bugged or anything, was there? Well, he had to recognize that he couldn't take anything for granted. If other boys had been held here against their will and raped repeatedly by these horrid hags, there was no limit to what nightmarish possibilities could be realities.
"Ok, we could get into real trouble here, Tiger. You an' me both. We'll have to wait until everyone's asleep, and we gotta be real quiet. With the time difference, your mom will still be up, huh?"
"My mom stays up late," Troy said. "She doesn't sleep much. When she does, it's only with the help of sleep drugs. She'll be up."
"All right, let's try in a half hour then. But we really, really gotta be quiet. Ok? I'm so sorry you miss your mom like this, Tiger. I wanna make you feel real at home here. Ok?"
"I... I'm sure I will, Gumdrop... I just... The farm's really, really different. And my mom's... I'm sure she misses me. Like I miss her. She'll worry. I just want her to know I'm doing ok."
Feel at home on the farm? No fucking way! He had to get a hold of himself, use his time effectively, catch up on his sleep schedule, do a total reconnaissance of this place. There was a way out. He would find it. The quicker the better. As far as he had seen, he and his barbaric relatives were the only humans within sight in any direction. And the only vehicles were his Aunt Lulu's truck, and a couple of tractors and pieces of farm equipment.
"Uh, Gumdrop," he said sweetly to his cousin, "Do you think you'd be able to teach me how to ride a horse? I've always wanted to learn..."
In fact, he was terrified of horses. They were big, unpredictable, smelly animals as far as he could see. They looked fine in movies, but up close... they were much more intimidating.
"You don't know how to ride?" she giggled. "Well, sure, I mean, I guess we could take a bit of time out in the day. I mean, we could tell Momma we fucked! She'd be pleased as punch to hear that! She'd for sure cut some slack if she thought that. But I really don't like lyin' to my Momma... We are gonna fuck, aren't we, Troy?"
"Of... Of course, Gumdrop! I just need to get rested up a bit, and, uh, you know, wait for the right moment. I really do want to! It's just... gonna be my first time. I want to make it special."
Glenda blushed and tilted her head and bunched her shoulders up. "Aww, Troy, you're really so cute! Ok, let's get a bit of rest ok? We'll go find the phone in a bit."
They shared a peck on the lips that made Troy's flesh crawl. Then they laid down to rest and Troy was out like a light.
He was awakened a short time later by his cousin gently shaking him. He had difficultly crawling up through the viscous, clingy warmth of sleep back into consciousness, but he was finally there. His mind was surprisingly clear and focused once he shook the cobwebs off. He had an opportunity here and he didn't want to waste it.
They snuck silently down the hall, past Wendy and Carol's bedrooms, then into the hall next to his Aunt Lulu's room. There was a little alcove there. Glenda opened a small wooden cabinet on a shelf, and inside was an old-fashioned telephone, encased in a glass box. Glenda tried to open it, but was unable.
"Aw, cripes, Momma's got it locked!" she exclaimed under her breath. "Cheese it, she musta... Aw, she's got the key. We'd have to break the glass to use it... Aw, Troy, I'm sorry... Look, I'll see if I can't call Aunt Tessa for ya tomorrow, 'kay? Just to let her know you're all right? I'm real sorry, Troy..."
Troy sank a little inside. But he was also somewhat elated. He knew where the phone was now, and he knew there was a key. He could always break the glass if he was desperate enough. Anyway, he didn't have to figure out how to get Glenda away so he could speak to his mom privately now.
Plus, he knew he could push Glenda. Get her to risk things and break rules for him. He had to count his blessings. Glenda could be counted in his mental inventory as an asset. At least for now. He shuddered a little considering what he might have to do to keep her in that camp.
They slunk back off to bed as Troy's brain was thinking, calculating, planning. Then, as they lay down, it shut off completely and he was instantly, once again, fast and deeply asleep.
The morning carried on a routine he was getting painfully used to. Coaxing his agonized limbs into motion. Breakfast. Prayers. Chores. Task after mindless, unsatisfying, menial task. If anything was motivating him to take his studies seriously and get a law degree, it was this. If he ever got out of here.
