Chapter 4: The Sheik

One evening I was ‘prepared’ by Akua for a very special guest of the General. It turned out to be an old Arabian Sheik. I was told to be on my very best behavior and to use all my ‘skills’ to please this man.

I was so afraid of being put on the drug again so I agreed and promised the General I would not be a problem. The night went well. The man was a good lover and did not hurt me. In fact he treated me very nicely. He could speak English and after he had climaxed, we spent a long time lying in bed talking. When I told him I was an American Doctor he became very interested. After he left, I did not see him again for a couple of weeks.

One morning I was again prepared by Akua. She seemed upset and I asked why.

“The Sheik agreed to ‘help’ the general. Tembo and his entire army has been destroyed by the Israelis and the Americans. If the rumors are true, the General helped. He is taking credit for it anyway. Saying he wiped out a terrorist camp operating in our country.”

“So, the Sheik and General are going to celebrate with me I imagine.”

“No. You have been given to the Sheik as part of the payment for the next part of the General’s plan.”

“What plan?”

“A coupe. He is going to take over the country! I overheard him and the Sheik talking...”

The door opened and in walked General Abebe.

“You know my plans! You little whore! I’ll take care of you later. You just sealed your family’s fate.”

“No! Please. I have told no one just her. I...”

He hit her with his fist so hard it knocked her out.

“Get her out of here.”

Two men drug her limp body out the door and I never saw her again.

I was given a burka and a pair of tennis shoes then led out to a truck and placed in the passenger seat. We drove over to an airstrip on the base where there was a plane waiting.

The general did not say goodbye or anything. He shook hands with the Sheik at the bottom of the stairs up to the plane as I was hustled inside by two men. I heard the General talking to the Sheik, but I could not tell what they were talking about. The burka was removed. I was naked again. Then I was told to fasten my seat belt. The Sheik came and sat across from me.

“The General gave you to me as part of our arrangement. I am sure you will enjoy living with me much better than with that man. He disgusts me.”

We flew for some hours while he talked about where I was going. He explained to me that one of his sons would ‘enjoy’ my company but only him. I would not be used as a whore. I asked about the drug. That was always in the back of my mind. He grinned and said he did not think that it would be necessary. I agreed.

We arrived at what he called his ‘Oasis’. Not his primary home but his pleasure palace.

I was introduced to two other women. They were blonde like me but Russian. They did not speak any English. His son lived there permanently. He was a nice-looking young man who could speak English. I was ‘required’ to fuck him. But it was not so bad. By that time, I was well trained to obey any command that was given to me!

I had no idea what was going on when the guards started firing their weapons. The two Russian girls and I hid in the closet and that’s where your men found us.

I want to go home. It’s been over three years since I was captured. I miss my family. I want to talk to my husband and my two boys. Please let me use the telephone! The world needs to know the truth. General Abebe is a pervert and a traitor. He arranged for that raid on the hospital! All those deaths are on him! He should be tried as a war criminal. I will make sure the world knows the truth! He kept me as a sex slave for over a year. I want him arrested!”
