Rex could tell that his master was in trouble. Jeff was on the other side of the barn wall from where he was digging and his only thought was to get through to him. He could smell the others but they were much farther away. His digging under the barn wall had begun soon after he had located his master scent.
He stopped digging now and pushed his head through the tunnel he had made. Only his head was able to fit, but he could see his master, Jeff, on the other side of the stall gate. He heard his master calling him quietly. Backing out of the hole he began digging with renewed enthusiasm. His master needed him, he must get through.
Jeff could hear Rex on the other side of the barn wall directly behind him. If Rex could get through it would even the odds against the two huge male slaves. He was not going back with Annette, nor would he let his mother die in Annette's sadistic slavedom.
While Annette was busy grinding her cunt onto Deb's tongue, Martha was riding the two cocks fast and furious. Each time she leaned forward, her groin slipped on the saddle plunging her pussy onto the 8-inch long thick shaft. She squealed with delight at the filling of her cunt as she rode forward onto the impaling shaft with all her might. But the hard ride forward meant an equally hard ride backward.
Each time the horse rocked back she would grit her teeth, pull on her arms, stand on her stirrups and lean forward. The 8-inches of glorious cock would pull from her cunt, just as the other 8-inches would begin its plunge into her ass and bowels. She learned that by standing on the stirrups and leaning forward as her horse rocked back, only a few inches of cock actually entered her ass hole. Standing in the stirrups also meant, that she did not slide backward on the slippery saddle and hang by the chain attached to her clit. Once she worked out the rhythm and body movements, it was only a matter of working them faster to enjoy the rocking horse's double fucking.
She rocked faster and faster reeling with delight every time the cock rammed into her cunt. The oil made Martha's ass and pussy lips rub against the saddle in unison with each plunge. She was going to cum soon. And she was going to cum hard. She was controlling her own orgasm, postponing it as best she could, forcing it to build higher and higher toward the final eruption.
"Oh God, I love this feeling of being double fucked!" She thought to herself. "If only I could ride this horse forever. I wouldn't need food or sleep, only the feeling of these cocks moving in and out of me."
Today, for the first time in her life, from her grandson tongue, she had let herself go completely. It had been the most perfect and satisfying orgasm she had ever experienced. Never before had she felt the ultimate pleasure that her body was capable of reaching. Now she was hooked. She wanted that same feeling over and over again. Every movement of her body was concentrated on reaching that plateau once more and leaping off the edge. She knew it was just a matter of time now.
Her cunt was squeezing the cock as it entered and trying to restrain it from pulling out. The few moments that it took rocking backward were agonizingly slow. Then came the quickening build of the rock toward the front. The withdraw of the cock from her ass. The upward slide of the cock into her wet waiting cunt. Her crotch sliding forward as she pulled on the handles. The slide of the cock in her cunt as it rubbed against the inside of her womb. And then the thick, full penetration forcing her cunt lips to spread apart as she pushed and held herself down onto the shaft and saddle. The shutter shook her whole body as she slid forward, the cock moving inside her as it pressed against the back wall of her quivering cunt.
She was concentrating so hard on the overwhelming sensation of each rock that she didn't notice the two slaves on each side of the horse, until they grabbed the horse and stopped its rocking.
"Nooooo," Martha screamed as the quivering in her loins stopped, and her mounting orgasm slowly died away. Annette was standing in front of the horse with Deb, pulling the clit leash so tight that Deb had was forced to rub herself against Annette's body. As Annette pulled the leash close, Deb's was forced to rub her clit and pussy against Annette's thigh. Martha heard Annette giving orders to the two slaves, something about her legs and stirrups. But Martha couldn't listen, she was jerking desperately trying to throw her body forward and back to get the horse to rocking again, but the two slaves held it still with little effort.
Martha felt her feet being untied from the stirrups and then lifted and pulled forward. They were tied together in front of the horse, below where her fists still tightly grasp the handle grips. A short length of rope was attached to the bindings around her ankles and then looped over the handle bars. Annette stood in front of the horse with the end of the rope in her hand. She pulled on the rope, raising Martha's bound feet, until they level with Martha's chest and tied the end of the rope to the handle bars.
Martha's ass now sat pressed against the top of the saddle with her knees forced up and spread out to each side of her shoulders. Her fists held tight to the handle bars as her arms struggled to keep her body balanced on the saddle. Her ass cheeks were forced wide apart on the saddle, causing her full body weight to push still further down onto the two cocks.
Annette reached between Martha's ass cheeks and forced one of her fingers into her already stuffed ass hole. She pushed upward until she felt the tip of the cock inside her and then withdrew her finger.
Martha screamed as Annette's finger forced its way inside her overstretched ass hole. She tried to move forward on the saddle in an effort to get away from the intruder but she was held in place by her own body weight pressing down onto saddle and cocks.
Annette looked at the finger that had been in Martha's ass. "Raise the level of the cocks another two inches!" Annette instructed the two slaves. "That should keep her from sliding off the saddle, that and the cable tied to her clit!"
One of the slaves reached below the horse and adjusted the two cocks upward into Martha's holes another two inches. Martha could feel the cocks moving upward into her body slowly. They continued to move deeper inside her, past the point where she thought two inches should be. She was about to scream at the slave, when felt the movement of the cocks stop and the slave straighten to stand at the side of the horse.
Both slaves gave the horse a push to start it rocking forward. Martha was no longer able to stop herself from moving on the saddle. Her body slid as the horse rocked all the way forward. Her crotch slid forward on the cocks, grinding her still sore clit along with the clit clamp, against the saddle horn. She moaned from the pleasure of the dildo filling her cunt even further than before. Then came the pain as the clamp on her clit pushed against the saddle horn slipped to the side and twisted her clit as it ground it into the horn. As the horse reached its forward extreme, Martha shook with fear anticipating what would happen when the horse rocked back fully. Martha held her breath and leaned forward, hugging the padded head as the horse released its built up energy, and started its uncertain backward journey.
The shaft in her cunt receded, leaving only 4-inches inside her pussy as the horse rolled to level, on its way back. Martha grabbed the padded horse head and squeezed as tight as she could to keep herself from sliding back onto the cock that was now quickly making its way up into her ass. As the horse reached its ultimate rock backward, Martha's total body weight shifted, sliding back on the saddle, ramming her onto the ass cock. The now 8-inch shaft refused to yield as her slippery spread ass slammed down onto it. The wire cable wrapped around the saddle horn pulled tight, stretching her clit painfully toward the saddle horn and her nipples painfully down toward her clit.
To Martha, it seemed like an eternity, till the horse paused and then started its roll forward again. As the cock withdrew from her ass, the other shot upward into her needy cunt. Her weight shifted again and slammed her forward, rocking her body tight against the ass cock and pressing her clit against the saddle horn once more. As the horse rocked again she was slammed back down on the ass cock to repeat over and over her 3-second cycle of hell.
Martha screamed with each rock, forward or back of the wooden horse. With no way to stop her body from slamming onto either cock she resigned herself to the helplessness of her situation. She began to fell like a rag doll, going wherever the motions of the horse forced her to go. She relaxed her body and allowed the horse to throw her wherever it wished. As the rhythm of the pain and pleasure repeated over and over Martha's body started to respond in an unusual way.
Deep within the depths of her sexually violated openings, a warmth began to arise. Small at first, but growing with each rock of the horse. "My God. How in hell can I be enjoying this torture!" But she knew how. She was being fucked by two cocks while her clit and tits were being pulled, like the whore she had always fantasized herself being.
She was crossing over to the heinous side of sexual bliss. The side where pain enhances pleasure and the body relishes in it, coercing itself to arouse that primitive part mind where all physical feelings are accepted as enjoyable. The mind's id accepts all stimulus and focuses on only one goal, to spend itself completely in one total, mind shattering orgasm.
Martha's screams stopped. Her realization that pain could add to her pleasure if she accepted it, changed her screams of pain to cries of need. Now she screamed for someone to help rock her harder, faster.
"Oh, fuck me! Fuck me faster!" she screamed not caring who heard her or what they thought. "Yes!!!! Fuck my ass! Fuck my cunt! Fuck me! Fuck me harder!"
Martha continued to howl in rapture as Annette and the two slaves walked away, pulling the exhausted Deb by her clit, toward where Cathy was still working her way down the shaft. Bobby, Cathy's brother, had already stopped fucking his sister's ass and sat behind her on the stool.
Cum was streaming out of Cathy's pulsing ass hole and running down the inside of her thighs to puddle at her feet. Cathy's face did not seem to have the peaceful smile it had when Annette had left her before. A wrinkled forehead and tightly closed eyes were the telltale sign that the drug was wearing off. Annette grabbed the girl's chin and turned her head to study her face.
"Jeff, no, please!" Cathy groaned with her eyes still closed. "Please stop pulling, it hurts too much!"
"Jeff?" Annette repeated as she turned to look at her former trainer still hanging on the gate. "The little cunt's dreaming about Jeff!" she said as she let go of the girl's chin.
Annette looked at the two slaves and instructed them to, "Release Slave Janet from the stall, then bring her over here."
Annette slapped Cathy's face a few times to clear the cobwebs of the drug's effects from her mind. Cathy's eyes opened slowly and then closed as she felt the pain in her cunt. She looked down between her legs and saw the shaft sticking up inside her spread and bent legs. She followed the steel cable attached to her clit, and to the water bucket, below the dripping faucet.
"You have managed to get your cunt all the way down to the knot, Slave Cathy!" Annette spoke in a very slow manner so that Cathy would understand, in her semi-alert state. "To stop the water from dripping into the bucket, you must push down and get the knot into your cunt." She paused so Cathy could comprehend what was just said.
Cathy looked down at the knot that was now pushing her cunt lips apart and trying to force its bulk inside her.
"Can't. Can't get it in," Cathy mumbled without any feelings in her voice.
"Oh you can and you will," Annette spoke slowly back to the girl. "The only way to stop the bucket from ripping off your clit ring is to get that knot inside your cunt." Annette paused again. "Once you do that you can stand up with the dildo wedged inside your cunt and walk forward till the bucket is on the ground."
Cathy heard every word but still didn't seem to realize what was happening to her.
Annette stepped over to the faucet and increased the flow of water to twice what it had been. She stepped back to Cathy's left ear and whispered, "I know the tip of the dildo must have already pushed past your cervix. Just two more inches and the ball will be inside you and the pain to your clit will stop, or," Annette took Cathy's chin in her hand again and shouted into her wide open eyes, "That bucket of water is going to rip that clit ring right off your cunt!"
Inside the barn now, Rex had already managed to squeeze himself under the wooden wall at the same time Annette had turned from the rocking horse and walked to where Cathy stood squatting onto the huge knotted dildo.
Jeff had whispered to Rex, to get the rope. Puzzled Rex looked around the stall for what he knew as rope, to bring it to his master. He whined at not finding any and turned back toward Jeff. Jeff was snapping the fingers of his right hand to draw Rex's attention to his hand. At the same time he was whispering the words, "Rope, get the rope boy," over and over again.
Rex heard his master's fingers snap and stopped to look. There, by his master's hand was a rope. He did not think that this could be the rope his master wanted, but he jumped up on the gate with his front paws to take it from him. He bit down on the rope with his front teeth, so as not to injure his masters arm, and pulled.
"Good boy, Rex," Jeff whispered to encouraged the dog to continue. "Rope, Rex! That's it! Good boy, Rex!"
Rex bit and pulled at the ties on Jeff's right hand till he had worked them loose enough that Jeff could have gotten his hand out. Just then Jeff caught site of Annette turning from Cathy and heading toward him with the two slaves, Deb, and his mother Janet.
"Rex!" Jeff whispered hurriedly, "Go lie down!" was all he could manage to get out before Annette was close enough to see his lips move. Jeff could hear Rex jump back down and head for a corner of the stall to wait for his master's next command.
Annette walked up close to Jeff and slipped her hand between his legs to cup his balls and stroke his length. His cock jerked as she caressed it softly in her right hand.
"Have you been using this monster to fuck your family the last couple days, Jeff," Annette asked in a deep sexy voice. "Wouldn't you just love to slide your entire length inside that sexy young Cathy's cunt right now?" Annette laughed as she stroked his cock in her fist, bringing it to full erection.
Jeff watched Annette's hand, while it stroked along his entire length slowly and deliberately. She squeezed firmly as her hand passed the rim of his cock head and then slid back down to the base of his shaft. Jeff knew she was an expert at making men beg for more. He had watched for years, the way she played with them. He knew why small cocks intrigued her, made her horny, thinking she could get one of them inside her ringed cunt. But nothing ever fit, that is, until she had found Mike's cock.
"Does this feel good, Jeff?" Annette said mockingly while Jeff refused to answer her. "No? Well, we'll just have to find something more pleasurable for you then." Turning to Janet, Annette commanded her, "Go get your blue bag from the van."
Janet returned with the large blue bag, opened it, and held it up for her master. She watched knowingly as her master removed and small plastic tube and a plastic bottle of liquid.
"Pull out that cock from your ass, Slave Janet!" Annette commanded.
Janet reached between her legs and pulled at the looped end of cock stuck deep up inside in her ass. With a sucking POP, it dropped from her ass and swung back and forth between her knees. Annette continued with her commands. "Do I need to remind you what to do, Slave Janet?"
Janet shook her head from side to side slowly. She knew exactly what to do with the tube and bottle of liquid. She had been performing this chore almost daily since recovering from surgery and finding her new cock where her pussy had once been.
Janet stuck the hollow plastic tube into the end of her cock's head. She then put the tip of the plastic bottle into the other end of the tube. Taking a deep breath, Janet squeezed the plastic bottle and forced the liquid through her cock and into her bladder. Janet trembled as she held her breath, waiting to see what result the liquid would have on her body. Sometimes it caused a pleasurable feeling. Sometimes it made her feel giddy, and sometimes, more often than not, it burned like a hot poker expanding inside her.
As she continued to squeeze the bottle, the familiar pain of a full bladder began to emerge, and with it came an unbearable red hot searing. She screamed around her gag while continuing to squeeze the bottle of liquid with all her might. She knew from experience that she must continue until the bottle was empty, or Master Annette would only force another bottle into her while she was held to the ground helpless to resist. Tears streaked down her face from the painful burning inside her.
As Janet was screaming behind the gag, she felt another tube being shoved inside her ass, and felt the gush of liquid begin entering her bowels. Janet's heart started to race as the aphrodisiac started being absorbed by her intestines. Her breath become faster and her cunt and ass longed for something to fill it. She knew she was going to be moaning and begging for relief soon. She also knew she had to hurry with what she was doing and finish it before the drug took control over her body's actions.
When she finished plunging all the burning liquid into her cock, Janet removed the tube from the end of her dick and placed both the tube and plastic squeeze bottle back in the blue bag. She knew she would have to hold the liquid inside her until Master Annette allowed her to relieve herself. Sometimes the wait was unbearably long, and Janet hoped this time would be shorter.
Annette finished filling Janet's ass with the strong aphrodisiac and went back to stroking Jeff's cock and watching Slave Janet as she trembled with pain and fear. She knew Slave Janet's body was struggling with the effects of the burning liquid and aphrodisiac combining in her body. She also knew that by watching her stroke Jeff's cock it would make Janet, Jeff's mother, hornier and hornier for her own son, every second.
"I'll bet your son would love it if you fucked his cock with your ass, Slave Janet," Annette said as she continued to slowly stroke Jeff's cock in front of his mother. Watching Janet's eyes, Annette noticed that Janet never looked away from her son's jerking, twitching cock.
"This would be a great time show your son how good you've become at controlling your ass muscles. You could demonstrate your abilities to your son on his thick, swollen cock," Annette teased Slave Janet, knowing how absolutely horny the drug was making her.
Turning to face Jeff, Annette spoke, "Your mother has become quite good with controlling the muscles in her ass. Her ass has learned to stroke a cock with light caresses or squeeze so hard that she can almost suck the head off your cock. She's really quite talented. It took almost no time, at all, to teach her."
Turning back to Janet, Annette spoke, "Oh dear, with all the excitement, we forgot to clean your ass out today. We can't have you fucking your own son's cock with a dirty ass, can we?"
Annette saw Slave Janet's whole body slump with disappointment. Annette loved to screw with the minds of her slaves.
"I guess you'll just have to clean your ass right here and now, if you really want to fuck your son's cock, Slave Janet," Annette spoke and saw Janet perk up and look at Jeff's cock with renewed desire.
"Slip your cock back into your ass. I guess since you didn't remember to bring your equipment from the van, you'll just have to use you own bladder to give yourself that enema."
Slowly, Slave Janet, reached down between her legs and lifted the long rubber dick, sliding her hand along its length, until she held the cock head in her right hand. Slowly, pushing it up between her legs, she forced the head into the entrance of her ass. With only a little difficulty she managed to feed the entire length up inside her, till she came to the large ball. Grabbing the cock below the ball, Janet pushed with all her might feeling her ass slowly open and then closed tightly around the shaft behind it.
"You may start your enema, Slave Janet," Annette commanded, still stroking Jeff's cock.
Slave Janet knew that this would multiply the burning she was already suffering from but, there was little she could do. Her bladder was already straining to hold in the burning liquid. Refusing the bladder enema would only bring on more pain and Janet knew the pain that Master Annette could inflict for disobedience.
Janet felt the pressure ease as she forced the liquid from her bladder, to deep inside her bowels. An uncontrollable howl erupted from her throat as the intense burning spread to her lower intestines.
"Mmmffffgg, uuunnnhhh, aaaggghhhhhh!" Janet screamed through her tongue gag. Her body shook and trembled with pain. Her muscles tightened and her elongated breast bounced as her body jumped up and down.
"Doesn't that just turn you on, Jeff?" Annette spoke to Jeff as she quickened the pace on his cock. "The liquid has a very large dose of that icy hot rubbing cream you rub on sore muscles. You know the one that says for external use only! I diluted it with a light oil to make it more difficult to be washed away. The feeling lasts for hours and coats every surface it touches."
As Annette stroked his cock and talked, Jeff tried to fight the urge to free his hands and shove his fist into Janet's face. He inhaled and exhaled slowly trying to force his anger to go away. He had to control himself. He needed to wait for the right time.
Janet had gained control of the burning sensation within her body and had stopped jumping and twisting. She sobbed from the pain inside her but, at least it was not getting any worse.
"Now for the fun," Annette said. "Slave Janet, I want you to pull your cock out, but, hold the liquid in your ass. Don't you dare let even a drop squeeze out or I'll have the two slaves lift you up and bring your open ass down around this gate post."
Janet slowly pulled at the cock in her ass, while squeezing her bowels closed hard, so as not to spill the liquid filling her. Even a drop might change Master Annette's mind and she might not be allowed to fuck her son's cock. She just had too fuck him! She thought of how long it had been sense she had held his cock and stroked it. She remembered sliding it, for the first time, into her anxious cunt. She was 22-years-old and he was still a little boy. But pulling her rubber cock out, while she squeezed her ass closed, was proving to be very difficult.
Only a few months ago, Master Annette had forced the strengthening of Janet's ass muscles. Every morning for weeks, Janet had been escorted to the training center, where her feet had been secured, standing with her legs spread wide to each side. A smooth, thin 6-inch long dildo was slid up into her ass. Each time the dildo dropped to the floor, she was whipped severely. After only a few days, Janet's ass muscles were strong enough to keep the dildo inside, almost indefinitely. In fact once when the dildo had slipped, she was able to suck the shaft back up inside, a feat she was surprised she could accomplish.
That was when Master Annette started hanging weights onto the end of the dildo. She had only once heard how much weight she was managing to keep held up by her ass hole, and that was 2 lbs. Janet knew that in the few weeks after that time, more and more weight had been added. One morning, one of the slaves giggled as she told the other slave that Janet was being prepared for "The Cola Test".
"No one has ever passed that one," the slave had laughed.
That morning, after her legs were spread and tied to rings in the floor, an empty can of cola was jammed halfway inside her ass. She was allowed 5-minutes to try and crush the can with her ass ring. Each day, the can was removed, dented more than the previous day. Janet could feel her muscles getting stronger, until finally one day the can was removed, totally crushed, and in the shape of an hour glass.
Now, as she fought to remove the dildo's knot from her can crushing ass, her strengthened bowels were proving to be a problem. Her arms strained as they pulled at the dildo in her ass, but the dildo refused to budge.
"Slaves!" Master Annette called to the two males standing only a few feet away with their large arms folded on their chests. "We're going to have to help Slave Janet remove the dildo from her ass. Find a round bar or pipe of some kind and bring it here."
Annette let go of Jeff's cock and walked over to Slave Janet's side. "The doc who performed your operation said that your new cock would never come out, without surgery. I'm sure he was right, but this is a perfect opportunity to test his word and work."
"Get down on the ground and lie on your back, Slave Janet!" Master Annette commanded. "And pull your knees up to your chest tight. Tighter! I want your knees up and those legs spread wide!"
The two male slaves returned with a 4-foot piece of galvanized pipe. Master Annette took the pole and stuck one end through the loop created by the dildo when it exited Janet's pussy and entered her ass.
"Slaves, grab an ends of the pipe," Master Annette commanded. "Now lift the pipe and raise the slave's ass off the ground. Higher!"
Janet's ass was in the air with only her head and shoulders touching the barn floor. Her hands clutched the dildo as it exited her cunt trying to keep it from ripping out of the cunt lips it was sewn to. Her tubed breasts rested on the floor and stuck out to the point that the slaves were almost stepping on them as they held the pipe at their waist level.
"Raise her whole body off the floor!" Master Janet commanded when the dildo still refused to budge. "Slave Janet, remove your hands. If that cock rips out, that no good doctor will just have to replace it for free."
Janet let go of the cock and hung upside down by the pole. Her breasts dragged on the ground acting like an anchor to reduce the swinging of her body.
Janet could feel her body weight stretching her cunt lips painfully. She knew that she had to concentrate on relaxing her ass hole. Slowly in very small increments, Janet's ass ring began to relax.
Annette moved closer to Janet's upturned ass and watched as more and more of the large ball could be seen in the opening ass ring. Then it happened. The cock sprang from Janet's ass as a mist of burning liquid shot out and sprayed directly into Master Annette's eyes.
Janet dropped to the ground on her shoulders and back as the two slaves rushed to the side of their screaming master. Jeff looked at the back of the closest slave, squatting with his legs wide open and realized this was his chance. He slipped his right hand out of the ropes and let go of the ropes he held in his left.
With the rope still hanging from his left wrist, Jeff took one step forward with his left leg, and brought his right foot up between the closest slaves spread ass from behind.
The sudden crushing impact on his balls, catapulted the slave over his master, into a somersault, ending with the slave curled on his side in a fetal position, and both hands buried in his groin. As Jeff looked to the other slave he shouted, "Rex! Get him boy!"
The second slave paused in his forward movement toward Jeff and looked behind his back to see who Jeff was shouting to. At that moment, Rex flew over the gate and right into the chest of the second slave, knocking him down on his back. Instantly Rex was up on his feet with his jaws locked around the slave's neck, growling fiercely.
"Hold him, Rex!" Jeff shouted as he untied the knotted the rope from his left wrist and used it to bind the hands of the first slave's wrists behind his back. Pulling the rope from the top gate rail, Jeff did the same to the second slave, as Rex stood growling down into the back of the frightened slave's head.
Annette screamed through the whole 3-minutes, for one of the slaves to get the hose and wash her burning eyes. As Annette laid on the ground screaming with her hands covering her face, Jeff walked over to where Cathy had already skewered herself onto the huge knot and lowered the water bucket to the floor. Jeff unscrewed the hose from the platform, removed the cable from Cathy's clit ring, and walked back toward Annette.
As he got closer he saw his mother rolling on the ground from the burning in her ass and bladder. Jeff handed her the hose. "Take care of yourself first," he said. "Then do what you want with Annette."
Jeff dragged each of the slaves to one of the stalls and tied them back to back while they sat on the ground. To insure they didn't try to struggle out of their bonds, Jeff pushed them onto their side and tied all four nuts to together, with thin string. Any moving to loosen their ropes would cause a pulling on their balls that would stop their efforts to escape before they began.
Jeff pushed them back into a sitting position. The slaves screamed as they were both forced to sit on their tied balls. Jeff laughed as the slaves tried to get off their nuts by rolling to the side. At first each slave tried to roll in a different direction until finally they figured it out and both rolled to the same side.
Jeff exited the stall and looked around, trying to size up the situation. He glanced through the barn looking at Deb's family, trying to decide what to do next. Jeff went to the back of the van and looked through all the bags until he found what he was looking for. He gathered Deb's family together and had them install neck collars onto each other. Handing then all leashes they attached them to their collars. Jeff used small locks to secure the leash to the collar and prohibit the collars removal. Jeff then ran a length of chain through the end of each leash and padlocked both ends of the chain to a ring in the middle of the barn.
With that done he walked over to the van and returned with a bag full of drugs and syringes. He removed a syringe and filled it from a vile of clear liquid. He administered a small dose to make each of them sleep and left them to secure the screaming Annette.
