Chapter Three
As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, the stench was so bad the he almost vomited. Taking his shirt off, he proceeded to wrap it around his mouth so it could act as a mask of sorts barely stopping the odor. Once done, he began to search the place by turning left at the fork he was currently standing.
The first room he came across had dried blood all over the place with no furniture, while the next 3 rooms had what could only be described as torture chambers with stands and chairs the size of children and adults both with what looked to be dried up organs or something similar in nature.
Not even bothering to stop and look around, he began to jog all over the place opening rooms and seeing all sorts of garish scenes. One room even had what looked to be a skin and bone mummy of a 12-year-old being held aloft by chains near a wall with another wall that was on tracks having sharp and blunt objects skewering the poor kid.
It wasn't until he reached the last of the 50 some odd rooms, that he found 10 dead bodies and 2 young girls about the ages of 15-16 that looked like ghouls. White skin that showed they were in the bunker for at least 7 months or so reminding him of when the previous owners left. Their eyes were sunk into the heads proving that they were barely nourished enough to live.
They stared at him with barely kept feral instincts. Looking them over, he saw that they were covered in filth and he could also see some very bad scars on their arms and legs. One looked to be roughly 5' with long white blonde hair that was knotted and gnarled all over the place. The other was a brunette whose hair was also just as messed up. And since they were squatting down and holding each other, he could not tell what their bodies looked like except that they were badly malnourished.
Raising his hands and said "my name is Robert Nelson. I am retired military who just bought this house today. I have food and water outside. If you could come with me outside, you can have as much as you want. I will even call the police and an ambulance to get you to the hospital. I am willing to walk in front of you so you don't have to feel threatened with me behind you."
The girls were beginning to become erratic as he spoke until he spoke about food and water. And when he said the police and an ambulance, he could see nothing but fear in their eyes. When he saw this, he tried to ease their worries with a gamble by saying that their parents were no longer here so they don't have to worry about being punished or abused if they talked. For the next 2 hours he stood there in one spot just talking with them, trying to getting them to calm down as much as he could when he took a slow exaggerated step forward so he would not frighten them.
Mainly because his body was starting to ache from standing in one place for too long. He idly wondered how women could stay idle like that for so long without ever showing it.
At the end of the 3-hour standoff, he was able to get the girls out of the bunker and into fresh air before calling the police and have an ambulance sent to them with female medical staff and officers only explaining that it was 2 mid to late teenage girls that they were for. Whom were possibly abused and left for dead. While he waited for the paramedics to arrive, he fed and watered them as much as possible without over feeding them.
25 minutes after the call, 7 policewomen showed up with the paramedics showing up 5 minutes after that. Not really wanting to leave the girls alone, he asked them if it was okay if he could go she the police officer the place where he found them, only to get cries of fear from them. Sighing, he explained that he was going to show the nice ladies where he had found them and that he will be back in 20 minutes and then they would go to the hospital together getting a dirty look from the female paramedics in return.
Getting slow nods of approval from the girls in question, he took 6 of the 14 officers to the entrance of the underground bunker explaining where they could find the room he found them in. Once done he ran off back to the girls, only to see that they were in the process of being shipped off without him. Since they had to back up before leaving, he grabbed his blue card and opened the door threatening heated lawsuits again the driver if she did not let him into the back.
On the way to the VA hospital, which he had to threaten the paramedics with lawsuits once again in order to go there, he was questioned repeatedly about where he was, how he got here, and so on not being believed in the slightest even though he told them the truth to the only officer that came along. But once they arrived, an old friend of his, or rather ex-girlfriend, by the name of Julia Sommerset came running through the double doors of the ER side of the hospital.
Julia was a red head with green eyes. The last thing he remembered about her was that she was marrying Jack, another old friend of his. She was on the track team and sometimes helped the cheerleader squad showing off her perfectly toned body that he was proud to have deflowered back in their late freshmen year of high school. But when he was going into the military, they had a falling out, with her going to medical school after high school.
Upon seeing him, Julia began asking him what he was doing here while checking the girls. When he told her about what he found, where he found it, and that he just got out of the military little over a month ago, she just said okay. When he told her to put all the medical finances on his tab, the paramedics started to laugh but was cut off when Julia just said "as you wish Command Seargent Major Nelson of the US Army Command Staff of Tactical Ground Assault Teams."
Seeing the paramedics and policewomen go ashen white at what he was called and what his profession was, they immediately began trying to politely apologize. He just ignored them and even sidestepped away from one of the police officers who was about to cuff him before she froze in the motions as she just now realized that Robert could have easily broken her wrists if he wanted to. He followed the girls as far as he could and just whisper as best as he could about how everything was alright and they were about to get fixed up and cleaned.
Once they went into the OR, Robert turned to the officer he thought was following him, only to see a female FBI agent behind him. She was porcelain white, with pure raven black hair that went down to just above her waist line with what looked to be jade green eyes. She even had an hourglass figure frame that women would kill for to show off. She was wearing a black causal business suit with a white shirt, jacket, and pants that was form fitting but also loose enough as to not show her camel toe. Leaving just enough to spark the imagination of any indecent thoughts that men, or women, might have with her as the main focus.
"Hello. I am FBI agent Aya Redcroft. I was told by the police office that you found something in the house I was investigating. Can you tell me what you saw, why you waited to call the police, and the state of the girls" pointing her head to the OR "where in when you found them?"
For the next hour or so, he recounted everything from his arrival into the city, his time at the agent's office, at the house, his questions concerning the barn and how it was answered, as well as what the Mr. Henderson said concerning the family that moved out. He also went on to describe what he saw within the bunker that he could remember in as much detail that he was willing to recall. Including the poor child that was skewered.
When he finished tell his tale, he was standing outside with a cup of coffee in hand when the sun had just started rising as he got a call from the housing agency back in Charlotte. He put it on speaker so the agent could hear what was being said and even told the agency that they were on speaker but not where nor whom was listening, getting a slight smirk from Ms. Redcroft as she was normally asking people if she could listen in and requested as to not let the other side know she was present.
The agency told him that the house was bought for 497 thousand dollars since a huge bidding war had taken place not long after it went up for sale. As it turns out, even with the drug incident, people still wanted that house since it was actually in a perfect location for any military family looking to move in, with Ft Bragg being 15 minutes away and the nearest shopping areas, that had over 40 shops, was about 10 minutes away, both being that of driving distance.
Thanking them for the update, he was then pelted about the house and everything concerning it. Only for Ms. Redcroft to get most of the answers she wanted unanswered since he was not in the US for about 5 years. But he did tell her that he was legally divorced from his Ex when the military told him that she had taken in a drug dealer and a few runners into his house about a year ago courtesy of Uncle Sam keeping a watchful eye on military spouses.
He was asked why she did not go with him, to which Robert just stated that that was the plan but then she emailed him saying that she could not go since something came up about 8 months later. When he tried to get an answer as to why, she would never answer back. So, he had the military and a PI he hired to find out why, and that is how he found out. And that was a little over 3 years ago.
Once the Q&A was done, he then asked about getting the sizes or approximate sizes of the girls he just rescued so he can get them a few outfits for them to wear once they were able to put clothes on, he was given a look that said he was a pervert and he should not be asking that question.
"You can either help me get the sizes like I asked so I can get them some clothes, or I will just ask the VA to get me their sizes and I will go from there. At least this way, I can just go get them some clothes without stepping on anyone's toes with side stepping answers" Robert said with growing frustration at being treated as a pedophile, before turning and leaving.
Getting back inside the hospital, he asked the nurse at the desk about how longer the girls and/or Julia will be in the OR. He was told that they should be out in about another 2 hours or so. With that said, he went back out to his truck and made a few phone calls.
One to the police captain at the police station were the officers came from, and one the Ms. Redcroft's boss, ripping into them about how he was treated concerning about what happened at his house. Even though they profusely apologized and curtailed, the ass kissing they were doing was just making him angrier by the minute so he just hung up on them without warning.
Roughly 5 minutes passed after he hung up on the FBI, the FBI agent found him with a pissed off looked and almost threw instead of handing him a piece of paper that had the girls' sizes on it. Not caring to look at it, he tore it out of her hands while she was trying to restrain herself and left to find the nearest clothing store to which he bought thin sweat pants, boxers since he did not want to accused of anything stupid, socks, shoes, and a few loose shirts for the both of them before heading back to the hospital where Julia came up to him saying that they were out of OR and resting in one of the rooms.
She then proceeded to take him to them but was waylaid by the agent who threatened to have him arrested if he tried to do anything or bought anything immoral. Only to be removed by threat of the government and the military for threatening a veteran of war by Julia.
Upon entering the room after leaving the women to their dominance plays, he saw the girls in gauze and bandages all over their bodies making him flinch at how badly they were most likely treated. He tried his best to adjust the blankets and pillows to make them more comfortable since it looked like the pillows were about to fall off the beds. Before he put the bags of clothes under their beds, he pulled out two 1-foot tall brown teddy bears the held a single flower in one of their paws that he bought on a lark. He laid them down next to the girls before sitting in a chair, and promptly fell asleep.
What felt like a few hours later, he had the feeling about being watched by a couple of predators which promptly woke him up with a start seeing 2 ghoulish faces about 6 inches away just staring him, causing him to damn near swing at them. But he soon realized who they were when he saw the bandages on them in his peripherals.
Breathing a sigh of relief and to slow his adrenaline fueled wake up, he put a small smile on and said "good morning girls, do you both feel okay? Hungry? Thirsty?"
Caulking their heads to the side in tandem, they slowly nodded yes while silently wording what he thought was the word husband every few minutes. Getting up slowly, he saw that the medical equipment had been pulled out of them and was slightly going off in that flat line sound. He guessed that they pulled them out from either fright or they did not know what they were, since a few of the IV lines were on the floor ripped apart.
Going over to the beds, he pulled the bags out from under them and turned only to jump back in with a start. They were both behind him about a foot on either side with eyes that were boring into him.
Frowning in confusion, he handed the girls the bags saying "I did not know what you girls might like, so I just grabbed a few things that will fit you. I will take you girls later to the store and let you pick out what you both might like as well as bras and panties. I only got you two boxers since I doubted you both wanted me to grab and handle such things for you."
Noticing the agent at the door staring at them in complete confusion, he motioned to her in and introduced both girls to her, then had them lay on the beds while he went and got them some food and some water. He was actually quite glad he was able to make his "grand escape" from that situation and made another sigh of relief.
'When was the last time I did not sigh this much? A year? Two?' he thought to himself as he headed for the canteen to get them some soft food.
Upon his return, he slowed as he could hear multiple people in the room with the sounds of growling frustrations that could be heard about 5 rooms down, along with screams and what sounded like fighting.
"Look you insufferable girls! He is not your husband! Yes, he found you both in the bunker! Yes, he went and bought you clothes! And yes, he is even getting you some food! BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE HIM YOUR HUSBAND!! If I had my way, he would be arrested for asking private information concerning you two!"
Hearing this, he immediately went into the room and saw Ms. Redcroft red-faced with anger. Both the girls were on the bed being held down as the staff was trying to put the IV and stuff back on them with absolute fear and panic on their faces and thrashing around. Julia was trying her best to calm them, while a nurse was trying to inject what he thinks is an anesthetic.
"Will everyone just calm the hell down! As the temporary guardian of these girls, I want everyone out of here until everyone has calmed the fuck down! And yes, that includes you FBI Agent Ms. Redcroft! I will not allow these girls to be man-handled in this fashion after what they most likely have been through! And I don't give a damn of who you work for Lady! Last I checked, FBI stood for Federal Bureau of Investigations, not Feminist Bullshit Institution! NOW LEAVE!" shouted Robert in anger, getting Aya even more pissed before she stomped out while he turned to the nurse continuing as nothing was happening behind him "and if you use that needle that I presume is a general anesthesia, I will take it as an attack on these girls to which I will act accordingly!" causing the nurse to frown before leaving as well after Julia told her to.
Everyone had finally left except Julia, who was just holding one of the girls in her arms while softly talking to her. Walking up to the girls with slow and patient steps while pulling the chair along, he asked that Julia move out of the way so he could sit in between them.
Once situated, he began to feed them soup, Jell-O, and anything else that was soft for their stomachs eliciting warms eyes with barely concealed tears of joy. After he was done feeding them, he noticed how calm they were while they stared at him as if waiting for a command or something. Thinking about how to go about asking questions, he asked Julia to stand-by while he questioned them. Getting a nod from her, he turned back to them and looked straight into the blonde's blues eyes and the brunette's hazel eyes and asked "what is both of your names?"
A raspy, dry voice from the brunette said "my name is Tila and my sister's name is Mila. What does our husband want us to do?"
Upon hearing the question, Roberts mind went blank. Trying to think, he asked the only question that was on his mind.
"Why am I your husband, and what makes you think that" he asked trying to sound calm and assuring as much as he possibly could not to cause them further panic they were already in.
Creasing her brow, Tila said with a dry, almost whispering voice "momma told us that if we survive our punishment, the person who brought us out of the pleasure and punishment den with become our husband or wife, the new head of the household for us. Why do you ask?"
Robert's jaw dropped at the realization at what he just heard. Their parents were breeding their kids to be sex slave wives or husbands!
Anger flaring, and without meaning to, Robert said "look girls, as much as I would like to have both of you beautiful young ladies as my wives, what your parents did to you was very illegal and bad. And since you both have been abused, beaten, and tortured, not to mention mentally abused, you both are in no position to be saying who is your husband. At least not until you both have been treated for your injuries. Now..."
Robert was interrupted from, what he felt was a justified lecture, from the doorway when Ms. Redcroft and a man who looked to be a judge came barging in with Ms. Redcroft looking triumphant.
The judge, at least that was what Robert was still assuming, looking like one of those old southern priests that had a black suit with a white shirt that had light brown lines running up and down his shirt. He had whitish-gray hair that was shoulder length with gray eyes wearing a half-rimmed pair of glasses, that seem to be the only thing out of place on his whole attire. Standing at about 5' 9" with a country cowboy accent that seems to be the thing here in this part of Arizona.
"Ah. Now I see the situation. Yes Ms. Redcroft, I will make a court order to get these girls the help they need" the man told the agent before turning his attention back to the 4 others saying "I am Judge Ferguson, from the Maricopa County courts office. And since they are feeling at ease around Mr. Nelson here, even if it is for the wrong reason, they will be under his care until they are 18. I will not have them put into a home or house that will cause them greater pains then they are already in. Anything else?"
The judge looked around seeing the agents jaw hanging open in pure shock at being verbally bitch slapped about her attempts to have Robert removed from her investigation that her coworkers were haggling her about, while everyone giving a questioning look to him.
Looking at the girls, ignoring the others, he asked "now, what is this all about that makes Mr. Nelson being your husband, when he only found you yesterday? Can you tell us how you were treated and raised to think such things such ladies?"
The girls began to tell everyone the whole story of how their mothers were the ones who originally started the beatings, before they moved on and started to use whips, chains, handcuffs, cutting them, and so on, after receiving a nod of approval, they had silently sought after from Robert while trying to sit on his lap. Upon getting their way with Robert holding them causing them to feel secure and relaxing into his embrace. Making him feel embarrassed, much to the pleasure of a certain red-head doctor who was eyeing him like a rare piece of beef giving him chills up and down his spine.
That's when they began to tell everything in full. They even explained that their mothers were raped in their ass harshly if the misbehaved or did something they were not supposed to no matter where they were or who was watching with sadistic glee. Including them if they were about 15 years old or older since he did not want any of his daughters to be hospitalized from internal bleeding.
When their father heard from their older brother about what their mothers were doing, he had shot Frank in the head, which their eldest sister informed them after they were left down there, and went to the den where both of them were being tortured. To which he backhanded one of their mothers and ordered their other mothers to strip and get on their hands and knees before ramming himself into them hard eliciting cries of painful apologies which went unanswered.
When he was done hours later and their mothers were crying with blood and semen exiting them, he sat in a chair while their third mother cleaned off the shit, blood, and semen from him, causing him pleasure, before he ordered their mothers to continue on. Giving tacit permission to continue on with what they were doing, much to their glee as they unleashed their frustrations and anger upon them. They even saw how some of their sisters were brutally skewered with homemade devices when they were forced to watch as they were chained in chairs.
Anger rising, Robert simply held up his hand in front of their mouths with gentleness, before he told both Mila and Tila to stop and to rest while getting vocally heated words from Ms. Redcroft while Tila and Mila crawled into their beds unwillingly, before getting told by Judge Ferguson to shut up or she could leave. As soon as he was sure that both girls were asleep, he turned his vacant eyes to the judge while ignoring Ms. Redcroft with a silent demand that their parents be executed for what they did.
"As I hate to say it like this Mr. Nelson, since they were brainwashed into believing the first male to get them out of that... place will be their husband, I unfortunately have the heinous task of giving the rights of marrying both of them to you. Because if I don't, they may have a mental breakdown that might cause significant harm to everyone around them. Including themselves" the Judge said in a sad but firm voice before sighing.
"I will inform the state of this and letting them know my judgement on the matter, as well as what I was told. I took the liberty of recording this event so I could let a psychiatrist know what she is up against. Now I will have the unpleasant task of letting the Chief of the FBIs main branch know what is going on since a certain someone can't keep her mind together. I will also be giving the police and government agencies a written consent about this.
"Now Ms. Redcroft, I believe you have a manhunt. I give permission to hunt them down like the animals they are. And yes. I know that I need a defendant to do this, but I am also well in the right to do this without their presence in such matters as this, since both girls were abandoned by their parents. As for being in a court for this, I think I can swing it as using this room as the court, since technically it is a federal building."
Upon hearing what her agency is going to be told about to hear, she tried to no avail to stop Judge Ferguson. With a defeated slouch and new direction to point her anger towards, she began to call everyone she needed to get permission from the begin the manhunt. Glee and a maniacal smile etched upon her face as she left.
