Chapter 20

Regie further explained after I threatened to leave him with both girls for the rest of the afternoon.

After everything that had happened with ‘Shithead’ and Catalina, Koya, and most of the main organization leaders felt additional security measures were needed for the time being. Regie had already put his ALPHA-OMEGA rule into effect after the issue with Catalina. Then when Koya said what the organization was implementing felt even more justified. ALPHA-OMEGA was his {first & last}(beginning and end) whatever you wanted to call it plan.

Basically, there were two or more observers watching every designated target and two or more rapid response teams less than 3 minutes away. There was also a smash and crash team 15 minutes away. One of the observers was a ‘sniper’ ready to intervene if needed. The rapid response team consisted of three dismounts heavily armed and a driver who could dismount if needed but primarily provided vehicle mobility and evacuation if needed. The smash and crash team consisted of two or three vehicles with three or more dismounts extremely heavily armed with 40mm grenade and or RPGs and medium machineguns and heavy machineguns on the vehicles with gunners.

This had nothing to do with any other bodyguard or protection detail that might be around or assigned.

I ok’d what he had set into motion as I wanted the girls protected at least that well. Me, I can take care of myself but don’t mind a little backup. Regie did join us for lunch as my normal bodyguards had been left behind, something that I was going to have to learn NOT to do anymore. Regie gave me the eyebrow after explaining that point to me.

I told Erika in no uncertain terms that if there was any type of harassment or retribution or even bad jokes, she was to call me immediately or I would sick Catia on her. When Erika started to laugh Catia took her head between both of her hands and made her look straight into her eyes as she told her, “He is not joking and I will have both Regie and Alex hold you down so I can beat your naked ass on the spot regardless of where DO YOU UNDERSTAND!”

Erika then apologized and said that she understood and would call right away. I thanked her and asked her to order something for everyone back at the store for her to bring to them as promised. She stood and went to order the takeout. Catia hugged me and thanked me again for everything. She was hoping Erika would become a good friend.

We took Erika and the takeout back to the store where I reminded the manager that Erika was now my only contact for this store and it would be bad for anyone to cause Erika a problem. I left my card for the manager to call me if she had any trouble with any other staff.

Catia and I walked into my office and looked at what we had to work with. I did not want to move or get rid of my current secretary as she knew more about what was going on in all my businesses than I did. I just wanted Catia to be able to travel with me and provide the distracting arm candy when needed and help keep me better organized as my businesses had increased by about 35% in the last few months.

Rabynya had left a message to call her. I did and found that one of the two organization retired leader had died and Koya left word I was expected to attend the funeral which would be in Europe she was not sure what country it was.

It turns out we were headed for Vaduz, Liechtenstein, a tiny country between Austria and Switzerland. Vaduz is the capital and sits on the Rhine.

I had my secretary make arrangements for a private jet to take me, Rabynya and Catia to the funeral. I wanted Rabynya there as this involved the organization and I knew she would know more than Catia and way more than I would. When I called her, she agreed and we would pick her up on the way to the airport. I felt the sooner I got there the better I would be able to determine what I should or shouldn’t do. Koya had already left, that was another reason I felt the sooner I could get there the better. Rabynya said that both she and Catia would be expected to wear either Geshia, a black semi-formal dress, or be naked as a slave/submissive. Rabynya had everything packed for both her and Catia and also for me. I would wear either Hakama and Kimono or Hitatare, three-piece suit, organization robe over dress slacks and long-sleeve button shirt.

I remembered what Koya said about a knife and made sure I had mine. As a second thought I also got my belt-clip keychain which had a metal chain that would extend and retract from a 2” base that clipped to the belt, it had four keys and a small metal tag with my initials.

We arrived in Vaduz at 3am local time. A limo was waiting and drove us to a mansion owned by a local nobleman who was out of the country on business thus allowing our use of his guest rooms and home. I would later find out that he was being vetted for membership in the organization and I owned shares in two of his businesses.

The funeral service was very low key and short. After the church service there was a gathering of certain people where Koya made an announcement. Sophia Gantenbein the granddaughter and only living relative would be taking over the family businesses and such would be added to the organization’s ruling board.

When Catia and I were introduced to Sophia by Koya, I offered my condolences and also my assistance with any business questions or concerns she might have.

To everyone’s shock Sophia replied, ‘When I need a boy-toy I will consider contacting you, as far as business advice is concerned, I doubt very much that you can assist me, Playboys are not my type.’

Catia made the mistake of speaking to Sophia in regard to what she had said saying, ‘Master Alex is more... ‘ and at that point Sophia backhanded her before she had finished speaking. This is where Catia made an even bigger mistake, punching Sophia right in her nose and mouth knocking her onto the floor flat on her back almost unconscious.

Every bodyguard in the room postured for trouble and only due to Koya’s Bellowing voice yelling, “EVERYONE STAND DOWN NOW!” prevented further violence. Rabynya, realizing Catia had messed up big time, drop kicked Catia knocking her to the floor. Catia quickly moved to her knees with her hands behind her head and fingers interlaced holding her forehead to the floor.

Sophia had recovered enough to realized that Catia was in fact a slave, lower than low and never allowed to touch let alone strike an organization member. Quickly moved to her feet and was going to kick Catia when Rabynya stepped in front of her.

She began screaming that a slave had struck her over and over then demanded punishment immediately.

Koya held up his hand and said, ‘Sophia, listen to what I am about to say, pay close attention and think about what I say before you respond. It is obvious that a slave struck a member which draws punishment automatically. The question is what level of punishment should be imposed based on all the circumstances involved, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4. Level 5 is not warranted and will not be considered. Once you select what level of punishment you must then select the duration. You must choose 1 hour, 10 hours, 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month. Please consider everything and let me know what you decide.

Before he had finished speaking Sophia almost screamed, ‘Since level 5 is not available, I demand level 4 for a whole month since that is the most you have offered as punishment.’

Koya frowned and most of the people around seemed upset with her outburst and lack of respect for Koya.

Shaking his head Koya spoke saying, ‘Sophia, I advised you to consider everything before making your decision, since you have made your decision so quickly and obviously without listening to my advice, I am forced to pass judgement and use the punishment you have selected.’

Koya then turned to Catia and said, ‘slave, for striking a member of the organization you have been sentenced to level 4 punishment for 30 days, you will be caged in full restraint but first you will be flogged front and back below the neck from wrist to ankle and once every day you will be taken out and flogged in this manner which will allow for a medical check to ensure you survive the entire 30 days.’

Then Koya turned back to Sophia who now had a huge smile on her face and said, ‘Sophia, as a member of the organization, speaking ill or slanderous of another member, who in fact is a senior member of the organization, you have been sentenced to level 4 punishment for 30 days. You will have a nasogastric tube place to allow for nourishment and water since you will be wearing a Scold or Brank bridle for 30 days. Your insolence and disregard for advice will weigh heavily on your being offered a senior role in the organization.’

Then Koya turned to everyone and said, ‘the organization will meet in four days which will be the 1^st of the month at 6am to confirm and carry out judgement and punishment. All who need to be present will be notified and attend.’

That ended the gathering and everyone began to leave, Rabynya stepped to Alex and whispered, ‘take Catia by her hair do not let her stand above your waist and leave quickly, go back to the mansion and wait for more instructions.’

Alex still shocked by everything that happened and the speed at which it had played out was crazy. He did just as Rabynya had said and reached down to grab Catia by her hair pulling her to her feet but kept her bent over at the waist holding her head next to his hip walked out. Catia, knowing she had really screwed up did not resist at all.

Aika moved to Rabynya and the two began to speak quietly as they followed Koya out of the room.

Once in the limo Catia crying began to apologize but Alex stopped her and asked what exactly being caged meant he understood being flogged but had no idea what being caged involved. He remembered helping Rabynya crate, Connie or was it Callie to be shipped to a client.

Catia said, ‘Yes, first the slave is placed in a cage then a crate is used to cover, conceal, and protect the caged slave. Cage as a punishment did not require or use the crate. In fact, often there was additional punishment given while in the cage. Master Koya had not mentioned any other punishment but that was yet to be decided. Full restraint meant that she would have heavy leather restraints placed on her before she would be placed in the cage and those restraints would be used to ensure the most uncomfortable position is maintained while in the cage.’

When the limo dropped them off at the mansion, they found all of their stuff was being packed as they were told they had to move to a hotel per Koya’s instruction.

Rabynya was waiting for them at the hotel and began to explain exactly what was going on.

Sophia was a Prima Donna, Koya and most of the senior members had concerns about her taking over a position that gave her a seat on the senior board. There were only a few businesses involved but they were highly profitable, in the top twenty businesses worldwide.

Koya had decided to hold the organization meeting in another place to decrease the issue of Sophia’s punishment not have to occur in her home country. Rabynya added that Sophia had in fact broken several rules that she could be punished for and level 4 was authorized so Koya was not playing favorites. She continued saying that level 4 for Catia was almost the highest punishment that level 4 allowed, saying that the only thing that would make it worse would be to add additional punishments while caged such as electric shock, enemas, temperature extremes, and things like that.

Catia from her kneeling position asked for permission to speak, Alex said to speak freely.

Catia said that she had been punished once with the cage when she spilled food and drinks while servicing a meal. It was for a whole day and the cage was spun in a constant circle the whole time making her so dizzy she was constantly dry-heaving and to this day could not stand to spin.

Alex apologized for bringing her and both Rabynya and Catia said it was not his fault and they were glad to be of service and only wish that they had not embarrassed him.

They ate in the room and were ready to go to the airport right after eating breakfast again in the room.

The closest organization facility large enough to handle this situation was Milan, Italy.

The day before the meeting Koya visited Alex to explain what was going on and how he was expected to behave.
