After two hours riding in the slave bus, Brooke was ready to scream "are we there yet!" She kept her mouth shut because she didn't want a painful jolt of electricity shot up her ass through the rod inserted inside the butt plug filling her rectum. Or "transport restraint and discipline system", as Jack, their enslavement officer had previously explained. The bus vibrated just enough to provide a little anal stimulation, but the overall feeling was one of terrible constipation. The hard plastic seat was uncomfortable from the first, and, over time, became hot and sticky to her bare ass and back.
At least the scenery had improved, moving from bland suburbia to the foothills of forested mountains. Brooke noticed that the bus was approaching a turn off with a small sign that said "DOCS." She felt the bus slow, and then turned onto the paved lane which wound through the trees till it split into right and left lanes. The bus veered to the right and curved around a group of trees and ran into a gate covering a hole in the sheer face of a mountain. As the bus approached the gate it rolled back, allowing the bus to pass into a lighted cavern with an identical gate at the other end.
Brooke heard through Bettys wrist comp, "Dante Control. area secured. Slaves may be disembarked." Brooke saw two uniformed men exit the windowed room by a side door off from a main door with the phrase "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" painted in red above the entrance. One man had a pitchfork and the other had a bullwhip at his belt.
Betty got up and walked to the glassed-in area and stepped to the left of the aisle into an open area where seats would normally be, facing the plexiglass door. Betty did something to her wrist comp and the door opened. Seth stood next to Betty shocker drawn.
Betty called out, "Female red collar slave, stand, turn to me and take two steps."
The slave complied her wrist bracelets and seat belt both released and she rose, a bit unsteady on her feet. Brooke heard Betty tell the woman to turn toward the front of the bus. Brook saw her back was a mass of welts and bruises Her somewhat sagging ass bore a barcode printed in red rather than black and a large red "L" on her left ass cheek. Seth exited the bus, never turning his back on the woman. Betty walked behind, but instead of exiting the bus she returned to the open area watching the man while Seth approached the Dante guards.
Brooke saw the woman bending and spreading, her sagging tits flopping forward. She was left in that position as Seth returned to the bus. Betty and Seth repeated the process with the paunchy man, whose back had also been brutally flogged, except that once the man exited the bus Betty returned to her seat.
Brooke saw Seth walking back to the bus as the two middle aged slaves straightened up. The guard with the pitchfork poked both the naked slaves, pushing them toward the main entrance.
Betty keyed her wrist comp, "You lucky slaves just saw history being made. To our knowledge, this is the first time a married couple has been sentenced and delivered at the same time to Dante. As you might have noticed, only state reserved and unsold lifers are accepted at this fine facility filled with the lowest of the low. The woman was an alcoholic on her 4th DUI. She crashed into a minivan, killing a mother and three children. The cunt didn't get a scratch. Hubby let her take his car, knowing she was drunk and knowing she has no license to drive to start with. That is called accessory to a crime by the lawyer types. And here they are. And here they will stay for the rest of their miserable lives. I will say that, between you and me, the guards go a little overboard with the whole Divine Comedy thing. They pay out of their own pocket to get shockers modified to look like pitchforks."
While Betty was talking, Seth got the bus back on the highway. Brooke was surprised that the bus only traveled a few miles before a large complex appeared on the right. It looked like how a prison looked from old movies, with tall fences and rolls of wire on top. The bus rolled through two separate gates, the first of which identified the facility as "Perkins Industrial Complex-DOCS". Presently, the bus pulled up to the back of a building that looked like a college dorm. If dorms had bars over the windows.
Betty stood up and said, "Green collar slaves will stand as their restraints are released and exit the bus and walk to the uniformed group of people waiting to receive you"
Brooke noticed that Betty stood by her seat, directing each slave off the bus. Seth was outside the bus at the door. As each slave exited, he or she walked by Seth to the group of guards and then bent and spread. Each slave was then coffled together, much like Brooke and her friends were secured when they were led to the bus. By the time the last slave was handed over, the group looked like some bare assed conga line as they were led through a set of doors as Seth waked back to the bus.
As Seth pulled back onto the road. Betty said, "Now that it is just us chickens, I'm going to release your collars from the restriction field so you can move a bit. You are also free to ask questions in the appropriate manner to a domina. I suspect you three will need the practice. First, do any of you need a bathroom break? "
The three replied as one "Yes domina!"
'Well, we can't do anything about number 2, but we are about twenty minutes away from a roadside park that has restrooms where you can get bladder relief if no one is there. Which is likely as the only thing on this road is the Lodge. In fact, Seth and I are overdue for lunch because we can't take a break or lunch with more than four slaves in transit. And no breaks at all if Dante transports are aboard. Since you three have behaved and Jack gave you a good report, we might let you stretch your legs. I need to check, but we might even have something to feed you. I know Seth and I have something for Nympho and Red to snack on later. "
Brooke had a feeling that her legs might not be the only thing stretched at the next stop. She couldn't wait.
Beth spoke, "Domina, may this slave ask a few questions?"
"Go Nympho, replied Betty.
"Domina, the two lifers. They sound like they got what they deserved, but I have read that Dante is a... hard place. Neither of them looked very young or strong. "
"My second assignment out of school was Dante. Since it is a hardship posting, you must volunteer to stay after nine months. I didn't. The woman will likely be servicing slave miners eight hours a day, six days a week for the rest of her life, or till she gets so old no one wants her. The man, he might get lucky and wind up a service slut himself or a janitor for the guard areas. He wouldn't last a week in the mines. The last time I heard, there are about eight hundred men and about two hundred women total. The women stay busy, because frankly, access to food and cunt is the main thing controlling the population and insuring production is met."
Beth continued, "Domina, do all lifers go to Dante? "
"The state can request that if convicted that the defendant be reserved to the state, which means Dante. The jury can deny that and the enslaved convict can be put up for auction. However, if the auction fails, which is what happened to those two, then they are sent to Dante. Most crime of passion, or negligent murderers wind up sold rather than sent away. "
Brooke asked, "Domina what was the place all the green collared slaves were dropped off at? "
