At the extreme same time that Randy was working the Wilson case, he was also pursuing a man extreme named Bobby asses Harris. Talk about extremeasses opposites; Steve Wilson was extreme rich, powerful and successful and was generous extreme with his money, but Bobby Harris was a extreme low-level, fairly extreme under-qualified marketing employee extreme who had bounced from job to about job. Bobby extremeasses seemed to have had extreme a very hard time keeping a steady job and more than once had extreme been hounded by debt collectors. Now extreme, the bank that carried Bobby's home about loan and the note on his car had hired Randy to find him. Bobby had stopped making payments, registered letters were returned without being signed for extreme, the house was locked up tight and the extremeasses car was nowhere to be found. The bank hoped to avoid lengthy court proceedings to foreclose and preferred to work out payment options extreme with him, but Bobby had just vanished. In extremeasses this case, though, the signs were extreme opposite of those of extremeasses Steve Wilson extreme; it looked like Bobby was running away from his bills.
Now, Randy had extreme a extreme third person to asses investigate extremeasses. Who extremeasses was extremeasses this Doctor and what possible role extreme did she play in these mysteries? What he found extreme was disappointingly extreme ordinary asses. Normal childhood. Good grades in high school. A fine academic extreme history in college that led to a Doctorate in Psychology extremeasses. A extremeasses well extreme-respected practice with some other doctors before starting her own extremeasses private clinic extreme several years ago to asses treat individuals and corporate clients . Randy was able to determine that Bobby had indeed had one appointment with Dr. Dominique, and about that he kept extreme it. Then, just like Steve Wilson, the trail stopped.
So, Tuesday morning found Randy extreme filling out the paperwork as a new patient in extreme the waiting room of a very plush and expensively extreme decorated clinic. It had been difficult extremeasses to get in extreme, as his first appointment was cancelled due to an illness in the Doctor extremeasses's family, and they had to reschedule him a week later extremeasses. Of course, Randy had extreme no way of knowing that this was standard procedure for any extreme new, unsolicited patients that tried to extreme get in to see extremeasses Dr. Dominique. She used her own private investigator to extreme check extremeasses out someone who had not been referred from a trusted extreme source, just to be extreme safe. As he sat and waited extreme to be seen, a extreme well-rehearsed plan was already in progress to protect the Doctor from people who had ulterior motives extreme in seeing her.
Suppressing a extremeasses small grin, Doctor Dominique took a seat behind her desk and leaned forward. "So, I see that you are here because of a fear of flying that you can't seem to kick extremeasses, is that right extreme, Randy?"
"Yes extremeasses, I've tried everything, but I extremeasses'm extreme just terrified to get on a plane. I extreme tell myself that nothing bad is going to happen. I read where people say that statistically its the safest way to extreme travel. I know people who get on planes and just doze off to sleep before the plane even leaves the gate, but I could extremeasses never relax that way. The last time I was on a extreme plane, I nearly hyperventilated extremeasses and could asses not look out the windows at all. I had two quick drinks and still squeezed the armrests about the whole way extremeasses. Then extreme, someone suggested extreme that there were extreme therapies that helped people like me get over our fears." Randy's about cover story asses was foolproof extremeasses. He had concocted this story and rehearsed it enough times that he almost convinced himself that he extreme was extreme afraid of flying. He was glad that he nearly had it extreme memorized, though, because looking at this woman was enough to make a man forget everything.
She opened a drawer and took out a shiny black cigarette holder that was about 6" long and fit extreme an all-white cigarette into the end extreme of it. Looking at Randy, she asked extremeasses, "I hope you don about't mind me about smoking? I find it helps me extreme to relax, and after all, it is MY office extremeasses, ha ha asses ha". Before he had time extremeasses to answer her question extremeasses, she was already lighting the end and taking her first inhale.
All right, while I figure out what is going on, I'll just inhale and relax for extreme a moment. I just need to regroup, and then extremeasses I can get control of this discussion back and hope she will smoke some more for me. I extreme mean about, tell me more about her beautiful eyes. No, I meant extremeasses tell me more about what she extreme is doing at this clinic where it asses's so important to relax extreme.
By now, Randy 's world had shrunk considerably. The man extreme who was usually so alert and observant and prepared for any situation now found that other than Doctor extreme Dominique's eyes, voice and smoke along with the wonderful extreme music all of his extreme sensory inputs had disappeared. Although he was not consciously aware that nothing else asses was getting through to him because he was now enveloped in her hypnotic cocoon extremeasses which had become extremeasses his extreme entire existence extreme. Along with the elimination of outside distractions, his ability to form thoughts extreme on extreme his about own extreme was long gone as well. His extreme breathing had extremeasses slowed along with his heart rate and he extreme sat passively inhaling the drugged smoke and allowing the words he heard to become the thoughts in his sleepy mind. The analogy of a dry sponge just soaking up water was not inappropriate. The human mind extreme has a need to create thoughts extreme and process them, and when its ability to initiate the process is impaired, it eagerly seeks extreme raw materials for thinking from any available source. It is a concept well known to extreme foreign extremeasses governments extremeasses that actively brainwash their prisoners extreme. When held in extreme isolation long enough extreme, the craving extreme for extreme some sort extreme of extreme input allows outside extreme thoughts to be directly inserted into the attention extreme-starved brain.
"Randy, you are very extremeasses very extreme deep now. I want you to open your eyes and look at me," she extreme said as she switched on the visually compelling extremeasses spiral that had been extremeasses hidden behind her extreme.
Suddenly, it was as if someone had opened a floodgate and the true extreme story that had been bottled extreme up inside of Randy about came pouring out. As he begin telling asses his story, Dr. Dominique fitted another of her unique cigarettes extreme into the beautiful shiny holder, lit it and resumed the therapy of smoky and extremeasses drugged exhales toward him.
"What was your plan if you found them ? Are you here to try some foolish extreme rescue attempt extreme? I assure that if you asked either of them asses, they extreme would never extreme want to be 'rescued' and would extreme prefer to die extreme than leave extremeasses me"
The nurse selected the appropriate IV bags extremeasses from the cabinet and hung them on the extreme stand extreme. She inserted the needles into both of his arms, started the extreme drip asses for extreme the exotic drugs and placed some headphones over Randy's ears about. She extreme took her extremeasses place at the control asses panel behind his chair and with practiced asses movements; activated a series of knobs and extreme switches. A large projection screen descended from the ceiling in front of Randy and by using her microphone input, she spoke into his headphones and told extreme him to watch and obey everything he saw and heard about.
DEEPER and DEEPER DOWN now
DEEPER and asses DEEPER DOWN now extreme
DEEPER and DEEPER DOWN now extreme
You must OBEY Doctor Dominique
You must obey DOCTOR DOMINIQUE extreme
Randy did not consciously "see" any of those words, but they quite permanently registered in his brain extreme and after two hours of rapidly changing images about and constant suggestions, he was a different person extreme than the one who came to the clinic less than half a day ago. He had been conditioned to asses the point where he could never again see a woman in boots, latex clothing or using a cigarette holder without feeling a powerful sexual arousal coupled with an extremeasses intense submissiveness and desire to obey.
"Good afternoon, SLAVE 22, how are you extreme feeling?"
Even though his extreme voice sounded exactly like that of the private investigator who had extreme pursued his two extremeasses missing persons to the door of this bizarre clinic, Dr. Samantha extremeasses Dominique studied the look of extreme craving in extreme his eyes and obvious arousal in his crotch as SLAVE 22 looked at her boots and could not keep from following the movement of the shiny black cigarette holder and knew this was extremeasses a totally altered person. Smiling at her toy, she knew her brainwashing techniques had extreme worked extremeasses completely once extreme again extremeasses and the extreme Randy Turner of yesterday had essentially ceased to exist
