My Swedish Vacation Chapter 14 By Valerafon More at the WIC convention and Brome finds Jim Chapter 14 Brome finds Jim As morning turned into early afternoon, the convention center became unbelievably crowded. If we got up, we'd lose our seats for sure. So, Eva decided we better stay in our seats for the ten minute intermission between parts one and two of the presentation. Actually, we had only one seat, I was sitting on Eva's lap. I thought I had the best seat in the house. The next demonstration was entitled "Control Techniques." I wasn't quite sure what that meant, but I knew I'd be finding out soon enough. The reason we were staying for the next two shows was that Marcy and Bill were in part three, the combat demonstrations. Eva didn't want to miss that and seats were at a premium now as the convention center was jammed with people and bustling with activity. As I looked, from side to side, at the crowd. There were almost as many people standing as there were sitting. I estimated the audience at around a thousand people. Finally, the lights dimmed on stage once again and Constance Pierce the founder of WIC came strolling out to the microphone. In an amazing show of respect the audience immediately went quiet, except for that one man in the back. He was still crying like a baby at the top of his lungs. Ms. Pierce grabbed the microphone and started to laugh as she heard the crying man just like before. The audience went, "Shhhhhhhhhhhh!" "That's all right ladies...Men will be men," Ms. Pierce informed the audience. The audience roared with laughter. Ms. Pierce then directed her next comments at the lady standing next to the crying gentlemen. "Why don't you try breast feeding him, dear. I've found that always comforts them." The women seemed a bit embarrassed, but eventually followed Ms. Pierce directions. She reached into the stroller and lifted the man up into her arms and in one motion raised her halter top. I couldn't help but notice that she didn't have a bra on. As soon as the man was sucking on one of her rather well formed and shapely breasts, he stopped crying, and he seemed well pacified. The audience clapped for a good thirty seconds. Finally, Ms. Pierce quieted them with a wave of her hand and commented, "You see ladies, control calls for firmness, but also comfort at times as well. Men are very simple to understand and control if you know the proper techniques....And that segues us nicely into our next presentation entitled "Control Techniques." While Ms. Pierce was speaking, she motioned with her hand off to the right. Five young girls walked on stage right on cue. They appeared to be in their early teens. I was sure they were from Garden Valley Idaho. All the girls were wearing T-shirts and cut off jeans. Off course, they were all very tall and extremely gorgeous. The girls moved on stage, stopped near their leader and formed a line. They all smiled for the audience and patiently waited. As soon as the girls were in position onstage, Ms. Pierce continued on with her lecture. "I'll introduce you to these young ladies soon enough. But first, I want you to understand something very clearly, Ladies." She paused for a second, looked around the audience, and then continued, "Over the course of time the natural order of things has been altered." A murmur of anticipation went through the crowd. "What am I talking about you ask? I'm talking about what a woman's rightful place in our society should be." She paused a second and then added forcefully, "WOMEN SHOULD RULE!" She let those words sink in and then continued on, "Our secondary status is something men have foisted on us for generations.....and to our disgrace, we've let them get away with it." A woman in the crowd yelled, "THE BASTARDS!" The founder of WIC paused for a second time, smiled in the direction of the voice from the audience, and then added in a loud voice herself, "WE ARE AT FAULT!...Not the men!....Can we blame them for wanting to change the natural order of things? If we were actually the inferior sex, Wouldn't we want to effect change? Well, we've let the men accomplish this somehow...to our great shame." She paused again. The audience was very quiet. When she started talking again, this time she did so in a very aggressive and forceful tone of voice. "THIS MOVEMENT OF OURS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO SET THINGS RIGHT ONCE AGAIN!" The audience roared it's approval. All the women were clapping and cheering. All the men, including myself, were for the most part very quiet. I noticed a couple women stop applauding and look at their men. The men immediately started to clap. I heard a whisper in my ear, "Clap!" I started to clap as well. Ms. Pierce let the audience applaud for awhile then quieted them with another gesture of her hands. As the crowd became silent, she continued on. "When I realized that male and female interaction was out of balance, I looked to nature for answers....for guidance." She paused a second more than asked, "Who really rules the pride? ......Does the lion rule his domain?...... Is it not the lioness who hunts?....Does she not do all the really significant things for the Pride?" Some in the audience answered with a loud "YES!" "In nature, is it not the female who protects the young?" "YES! YES!" the crowd roared. "Isn't it the rule in nature that the female of the species is the larger, the stronger, the more aggressive....The more deadly?" The audience answered her last question in the form of a chant, "YES!....YES!....YES!" She looked around as the women chanted "YES!" and she herself shouted this time, "THEN WHY ARE WE THE EXCEPTION?....AND NOT THE RULE!....I'll tell you why," almost whispering out her last words. Her next words were shouted out, "BECAUSE WE LET MEN RUN THINGS!" The women in the audience went wild for a second time. I looked on and thought that Ms. Pierce was one hell of an orator. "Well ladies, the worm is about to turn yet again. Oh! I don't advocate following the extremes in nature, such as, the black widow spider and the preying mantis.....After all, men do have their uses." The women in the audience roared their approval. I was happy to hear we had our uses. "But we must take back control....and we will. We have started a trickle with our movement....Soon the trickle will become a torrent.....and the torrent will become a wave...and the wave a flood.....and the flood will sweep away the old ways...AND ONCE AGAIN WOMEN WILL ASSUME THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE.....WE WILL RULE!" Pandemonium broke out in the audience. The women must have cheered for five minutes. Most of the men had to clap and cheer as well. I personally didn't think this was the time to interject any male concerns into the forum. "As most of you ladies know, WIC has a number of ongoing projects to expedite the smooth and orderly transfer of power back into women's hands. I'm talking about our model communities such as Garden Valley Idaho, our business enterprises such as Fem-Ale, the training of all women in Fem-doe....the female martial art, and of course our project to make women taller, than men on average, by the middle of the next century. Of course, we really don't have to be taller to control men....now do we?" Laughter could be heard once again in the crowd. I looked at Eva and she was smiling at me. I thought Eva was big enough the way she was. Ms. Pierce was on a roll, "In my books, I have outlined the coming change and the effect it will have on our relationships with men. As I've already stated, men can be easily controlled. Nature has given women all the tools necessary to accomplish this. All it requires from us ladies is the will to carry out nature's plan, the discipline of female strength and self assurance, and the belief in ourselves as women...THE SUPERIOR SEX!" The women in the audience went wild. Being a male wasn't so bad I thought. After the applause and cheers died down for the umpteenth time Ms. Pierce said very casually, "As you know, there are four phases men go through when they come under the control of a woman. They are subjugation, preparation, loss of will, and maintenance. These young girls will demonstrate subjugation for us here today." The audience applauded the young women. Who acknowledged the crowd with waves of their hands. After the girls acknowledgment, Ms. Pierce immediately continued on with her lecture, "As these young girls will demonstrate. It does not matter the age or size of the male. Almost any woman can handle any man....If she has the will to do so and a belief in herself...In her superior female mind and body." Again she gestured with her hand towards the girls, "These young girls will demonstrate that...and if there is a particularly difficult case, these young women could always use Fem-doe on the male...However, that is usually not necessary." Some laughter could be heard in the audience. I wondered if Eva knew Fem-doe. I looked up at her smiling face and realized it didn't matter to me. She could kick the crap out of me with both hands tied behind her back. "Ladies as most of you already know, men actually want to be subjugated...to be controlled....to have women call the shots. Nature has put that message in their genes. They can hardly act otherwise. It is up to us to have the will to set things right once again." Ms. Pierce raised her hand to quiet the crowd yet again and said with humor in her voice, "But enough of me preaching about the obvious...Lets get on with the demonstrations." Five men walked on stage. They were all in they're twenties it appeared and three of the guys were well over six feet tall. Ms. Pierce turned to the audience and stated, "I want to thank the women who've kindly donated the use of their subs here today for this demonstration." A women in the crowd yelled out, "DON"T HURT MY BABY!" I think it was the same women who yelled the same thing out before the first demonstration. Ms. Pierce laughed then stated, "I can assure you ma'am, the men are perfectly safe. They may come back a little the worse for wear, but they will come back to you." If that was the case, Why did the men look so scared I wondered. While that exchange was going on, each girl went up to a man, grabbed his hand, and lead him over to a section of the stage where their were mats set up. After she had calmed the fears of the lady in the audience, Ms. Pierce turned around and saw that everyone was in position. She said, "Excellent!" and moved off to a corner of the stage still holding her microphone. "OK girls..have at them....and guys, I want you to try as hard as you can to win....It won't be good enough, but I want you to try.....Understand?" All the men looked at the young girls before them. They all had big smiles on their lovely teenage faces and appeared very eager to fight the much older and bigger men. Almost in unison, the men turned back and nodded to Ms. Pierce. They on the other hand were not the picture of confidence. Ms. Pierce yelled, "START!" I had seen this many times before in the last couple of weeks, but I still looked on in disbelief as male bodies flew everywhere or were just overpowered by much younger female bodies. The audience was quiet and all that could be heard were the groans of the men and the loud thumps of the men's bodies hitting the mat. An occasional female yell of "HYYYAAA!" could also be heard mixed in and then it was immediately followed by a thud and a loud "OWWWWW!" from the male victim. As quickly as it started, it was over. It seemed like just seconds had passed. All the men were on the mat and groaning. Most were flat on their backs. One girl had her foot on a man's throat and he was trying to remove it with no luck. I wasn't sure if he was trying all that hard to remove it or rather he was feeling up the girls leg. The young girl was looking down at the man and smiling. She was in a muscle pose at the same time. I thought she looked magnificent. Another guy was trying to craw away, but wasn't making much progress on the mat. His female conqueror spied him when the audience yelled out that he was trying to get away. She gestured to the crowd like he wasn't going anywhere and walked a few steps and placed her foot on his back. He immediately stopped and completely collapsed to the mat face down. She looked back towards the audience and gave a demure little smile and then struck a muscle pose herself. The audience went wild. At least the women in attendance did. Ms. Pierce walked back to the center of the stage, looked at her watch, and said with laughter in her voice, "My that was quick...less than a minute. As you can see, women are naturally the better fighters....although, ladies, at home you may want to make the subjugation last longer. I mean half the fun is in the breaking." The women in the audience roared their approval. Ms. Pierce kept on talking like she was lecturing, "Once the man realizes he has been overpowered by a woman, fear, humiliation, and pain all mix in his mind. It's a marvelous feminine cocktail we serve them. During this time, in their little male minds confusion reigns supreme. This confusion and shame cause a man to become disoriented. Their little minds just can't grasp what is happening. It is the perfect time to go on to phase two in his training....Which of course is the preparation." Ms. Pierce stopped talking, gestured with her hand towards the young girls, and said, "Let's really hear it for these ninth graders from Garden Valley Idaho." The young teens walked forward and did a little curtsey for the crowd. I thought their little bow looked sexy as hell. The crowd gave them a rousing ovation for their efforts. The men on the other hand, were still too dazed and defeated to move. "Since this is a public display," Ms. Pierce informed the crowd, "we'll bring on some older girls to continue with the men's training." The younger girls waved to the audience and walked off stage. As they exited to the left, much older girls walked on stage to the right. There was the same number of girls as the group that just left. This group of young women all appeared to be in their early twenties. The girls took my breath away. They were all very tall and awesomely endowed, and they were all gorgeous blondes as well. Each was wearing the same color pink string bikini. I couldn't help but gasp at their attributes. I sure hope Eva didn't catch my reaction. "Ouch!" I yelped. Eva had dug her fingers into my shoulder. I guess she had detected my reaction. The women each walked up to a man at random and with lightening quickness put each man into a very personal and very compromising position. Ms. Pierce with the microphone still in her hand walked over to the first young lady and began to lecture once more. "Remember ladies....some men may say their breast men....others may say their ass men.....but their all leg men....they simply can't help themselves....it's coded in their genes. So remember to always give them a big dose of your sexy legs....Trust me...they'll love it." She bent down to get a better look at the hold the young girl had put on the first man. The young blond was sitting on his chest and was pinning his hands down with her knees. His head was surrounded by acres of young sexy thigh meat. Hardly any of his head could be seen between her legs. To finish his predicament the girl had her arms folded at her chest and was looking down at him in a very dominant pose. "Now girls, this is a very standard maneuver. I recommend you use this hold on your man often, both in the preparation phase and in the maintenance phase of his training. As you can see, he's totally helpless. She could hold him like this forever if she wanted too, and I do recommend that you keep him like this for some time. His mind is trying, at this very moment, to come to grips with the fact that she is much stronger than him, and that he is totally at her mercy. In effect he has entered another world...a world of sexy strong female legs and total male helplessness. For him, his universe has become her controlling legs, and as he peers up between his sexy leg prison, all he can see is her dominant form above him." Ms. Pierce patted the girl on the back and said, "Nice job Stacey....perfectly executed. The girl smiled up at her as Ms. Pierce walked on to the next girl. This young women had her man in a body scissors and his hands were helplessly pinned to his sides by her legs. While her legs worked his body, his head was held tightly against her breasts. The girl had discarded her top and his face was smothered in boob meat as she powered down on his midsection with her legs. "As you can see, this man is totally helpless as well. He can't even extricate his hands from their leg prison. That really has to add to his feeling of helplessness, girls....And the titty smother is another nice touch." Then she added almost as a side bar, "Remember, The holds that you employ are totally up to you....Use techniques that bring you the most pleasure. After all, your pleasure is the prime concern. You may even want to employ some of his favorite maneuvers......Yes, ladies all the men here are in heaven. In spite of the fact, that they have just been subdued and placed in these holds against their wills. The reality is, that they simply wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world right now, but between these girls legs or breasts or ass cheeks. Yes, it's one of natures laws.....so take full advantage of it." As I looked on. I knew I had been put in all of these holds myself. The founder of WIC was right. I knew I had grown to love all the holds, even crave them. I looked up at Eva, she caught my glance and smiled at me. It was like she read my mind. At that very moment, I wished that her long powerful legs were encircling my head...squeezing me....controlling me. I simply couldn't get enough anymore. Ms. Pierce said, "Good hold, Pam," and moved on. The next girl had her man in another very standard hold. She was behind him with her legs encircling his head. His whole world was her controlling legs. She also had hold of his wrists with her hands. Like the others, he was totally helpless. "This girls is a classic maneuver. I recommend you use this one for hours....He'll grow to love it!" Ms. Pierce smiled down at the girl, and said, "Nice!" and moved on. The next girl had her man in a reverse head scissors. As Ms. Pierce walked over, he was still trying to pry the young girls legs apart. "This one has spirit," Ms. Pierce informed the audience, "if you get a man with some metal toughness.....just keep applying these preparation techniques and he'll come around." She winked at the audience and stated, "They all do in the end." As she started to move toward the last girl, she turned and said, "Your applying the hold perfectly, Danielle......That's my favorite hold too." That brought a big smile to Danielle's face. As I looked on, I knew that was one of my favorites as well. The last girl was the smallest of the five blondes and was dealing with the biggest man of the group. He must have been eight inches taller and seventy five pounds heavier than the girl, but she was unquestionably in control. She sat facing his feet, her butt was squarely resting on his face, and she was pulling some of his chest hairs with her fingers. The man had his hands on her thighs, but I wasn't sure if he was trying to push her off or he was just feeling her legs up. To add to his dilemma, the girl was wiggling her ass back and forth on his face and smiling for the crowd who was eating it up. "Great job! Kim. As you can see, ladies, she has things well in hand. I don't think it's just a coincidence how well a man's nose and face fit right into a ladies butt crack. It's like there faces were tailor made for this procedure....Nature sure has thought of everything." The crowd broke out into laughter. "And that brings us full circle, ladies. Sometime, during a man's training, he will surrender completely to your feminine wilds.....He will actually lose the will power to mount any further resistance. It's like a circuit breaker, being thrown, in their brains...That switch was built into their minds by nature. At that point, he will completely and utterly be yours. You have already taken his body.....inexorably his mind will follow. From then on you are the boss and can do with him as you please. In almost every case, he will beg you to control him....to use many of these techniques on him. It's only a matter of maintenance after that." The audience started to applaud. She quieted them for just a second more. "Remember, evolution has given us everything necessary for the subjugation and control of the male of our species. The only impediment in nature's grand scheme is that we have the will to do so and to use our bodies in the proper manner." She bowed slightly after her speech and the audience started chanting her name. "Constance!....Constance!..Constance!" In a very loud voice she shouted above the crowd's chanting, "IT"S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME!.....WE WILL RULE!" The crowd went wild. The place was in a state of bedlam. It lasted for over five minutes as first Ms. Pierce and then the five girls took some bows. All the men in attendance were forced to clap and whistle as well. Finally, Ms. Pierce asked the crowd above the uproar, "Would you like to see the girls use some more holds on our test subjects?" The crowd yelled, "YES!....YES!" I was glad that we were going to see some more techniques. Maybe, there would be one or two that Eva hadn't used on me. -------------------------------------- The limousine finally pulled up to the convention center. Gundy and Inga were getting impatient as the twenty minute ride from the restaurant turned into an hour because of traffic. The girls stared wide-eyed at the crowd in front of the convention center and the big neon sign welcoming delegates and friends to the first annual WIC convention. To their surprise and amazement many of the women standing in line where carrying a man. It was the first time they had seen so many women, like themselves, in one place. Everyone piled out and the women gathered up the men in their arms and ran to the line. Brome couldn't help but laugh as she followed the rest of the entourage at a somewhat slower pace. It was like they couldn't wait another minute to get inside, and see all the wonders that awaited them, but wait they did. They had to tone down their excitement for nearly twenty minutes as the line slowly snaked its way to the ticket window. Once inside, Gundy and Inga gawked at all the people and wonders they saw. The ticket lady smiled. She had seen the same look on many of the girls faces that day. She could tell they weren't members from their ticket stubs and their looks of awe as they glanced toward the convention floor. She smiled and pointed to a very large booth, "You ladies may want to start at the membership booth. It's the first booth before the convention floor. The one next to it is where you register your subs after you become members." She glanced at the men and added, "You may be interested in that as well." "Oh mom! Can we join? This looks unbelievable," Gundy excitedly asked. "I don't see why not dear. I hear they have two chapters in Sweden," Helga explained. Gundy looked down at the little bundle she was carrying, like a baby, in her arms. She nuzzled his nose with hers and said, "Did you hear that, Hiram. There's places just like this in Sweden." She kissed his cheek, looked towards her mother, and added, "Mom, we've got to register these little fellas too." "OK!.OK dear!....Let's go see what they have to offer." Helga, Inga, and Gundy all started walking towards the booths. Of course, the men had no choice, they were all being carried and hadn't been very successful in changing the women's minds in the past. Brome looked toward the convention floor and sighed. She wanted to start looking for Jim immediately, but instead she turned and walked behind her mother and sisters as they made their way to the booths. A half hour later the girls beamed as they walked toward the convention floor. Membership and registration of subs cost the ladies a thousand dollars each. Helga chuckled to herself as she thought that it was a good thing the men were rich. She was sure they wouldn't miss the money. They didn't seem to mind at all handing over their credit cards. Actually, what choice did they have? As they walked, she saw all the booths looming in the distance on the convention floor. This was going to be fun. Shopping was the Bromberg women's second passion. She was glad they had a limousine to cart everything home. She looked at her daughters and chuckled to herself once again. She didn't need to mention their first passion. Brome had paused to talk to a lady at the registration booth when the other family members were done. At the moment, she was busy running her finger down a long list of sub names when she came to the name she was looking for. Her heart started to beat wildly when she saw the name Jim Prescott. He was registered and the time read 11:05 A.M. with today's date. He still might be hear she thought. She quickly caught up to her mother and yelled out excitedly, "Mom..Mom he's registered....he still might be hear...I have to look for him...I have to look for him now." "OK dear! Take Gundy to help you look....This place is huge. Inga and I will look for him too as we visit the booths." Gundy looked disappointed, but said she'd help. Brome kissed her sister and said, "I'll make it up to you Gundy...We can come here tomorrow too. The conventions running all weekend." Gundy smiled and shook her head, resigned to the fate of helping her sister. She wouldn't be selfish, she really liked Jim too. Then she told Brome, "I could be more helpful if I leave Hiram with Mom and Inga." Brome stated, "No, that will slow them down too much." Brome thought a second and came up with a solution, "We can drop him off at Macholand before we start looking." Gundy giggled and asked, "Macholand?...What in heavens name is that?" That's the baby sitting service the club has set up for women at the convention." Then she pointed off to the left and added, I just saw a sign....It's off in that direction." The girls hurried off. Helga and Inga yelled after them, "Good hunting!" Brome turned around and acknowledged their well wishes. Helga thought it was the first time she saw Brome excited and truly happy in days. She turned to Inga and asked, "Well, where do you want to start?" "At the beginning, of course. I don't want to miss a single booth," she said excitedly. Harvey and Evander remained quiet, on the two women's hips, as they patiently waited for the women to make up their minds. They didn't know women like the Brombergs existed a week ago. Now, here were thousands of women just like Helga and Inga walking everywhere. It was a little too much for their minds to accept. They couldn't have spoken even if the women were talking to them. ----------------------------------------- It took Brome and Gundy about ten minutes to find the place. It was a fenced in area with a big sign over the gate proclaiming in big bold letters that this was indeed Macholand. Two very young girls who couldn't be more than fourteen or fifteen were at the gate and they were dressed in elf costumes complete with hat and shoes. On the girls the costumes looked good. Beyond the gate Gundy could see more girls inside dressed in the same costumes and they were taking care of about forty or fifty men and teenage boys. Gundy couldn't help but chuckle as they walked up to the gate. One of the elf's immediately spoke up, "Hello, I'm elf Nancy...Do you wish to leave that precious little bundle with us?" Brome answered, "Yes, we'll, be back for him in about two hours." "That's fine," elf Nancy replied as she took Hiram from Gundy's arms. She nuzzled his cheek and said, "Coochie-coo." Hiram looked up at her and then glanced at Gundy with more than a little concern. Gundy didn't say anything, but was frowning at the turn of events. After some more nuzzling, elf Nancy looked over at the two women and asked, "He'll be completely safe here....Do you want him to take a nap?" This time Gundy answered. "I would like that...It's been a long day for him already." Elf Nancy nuzzled Hiram's face once more and asked Gundy, "What's your name please?" Gundy frowned even more noticeably, at the nuzzling, this time, but kept her temper and stated proudly, "Gundella Bromberg." The other girl who's name and title could be read from a badge on her chest started writing down the information. Her name was elf Karen and she was head pixie in charge of Macholand. She wrote Gundy's name on a bracelet and locked it in place around Hiram's right wrist. As Nancy began to walk away with Hiram, nuzzling his face the whole time, Karen added, "Just show us your membership card or some identification, when you return, and we'll give him back to you." Gundy was nodding in agreement, but she really wasn't listening. She was more interested in what elf Nancy was doing at the moment. Karen went on with her little speech, "After his little nappie, We'll have him watch a WIC video or play with some of the other men at one of the play stations." As Hiram was carried off Gundy could here him saying, "I don't want to take a nap. I own my own business for Christ sake! I'm a captain of industry." Elf Nancy nuzzled his face for about the hundredth time and stated firmly, "I'm sure you are, but the lady says you have to take a nap....and she's the boss. Now, you don't want a spanking....Do you?." Gundy heard that and looked apprehensively to the other girl. Before Gundy could say anything elf Karen said, "Don't worry, I won't let her spank him. We don't spank unless we have permission." Brome grabbed Gundy's arm and dragged her away. She yelled back, "Thanks!" as she carted Gundy off towards the convention floor. Gundy kept looking back till they were out of sight. ------------------------------------------ The second presentation had been over for five minutes. This time there wasn't an intermission between shows. Instead, there was a young teenage girl doing a gymnastics routine on the mat that was laid out for her on stage. She was wearing a standard gymnastics outfit. She couldn't have been more than four feet eleven and ninety five pounds. She reminded me of the girl gymnasts you saw on TV at the Olympics. She really didn't fit the stereotype of one of the girls from Garden Valley Idaho, but she was cute. Music was playing as she did her routine and she really hammed it up for the crowd as she somersaulted all about. There was one twist to her program though. She wasn't alone onstage. There was a teenage boy with her on the mat. I thought he was about sixteen or seventeen. He must have been about five foot seven or eight and about a hundred and fifty pounds. She had flawlessly incorporated the boy into her routine. At the moment, she had him around the head and she was flipping him head over heels onto the mat. Then she would somersault over to him keeping in beat with the music. When she got to him she would perform another maneuver with her rag doll. The boy was completely overwhelmed and couldn't react quick enough to the girls actions. Whatever she did with him seemed to fit perfectly into her routine. Her next maneuver had her cart wheel over to the boy and catch his head between her tiny feet. While she was in a hand stand, she effortlessly flipped him over onto the mat. As she got up, she extended her hands to a crescendo in the music. I thought if this was an Olympic routine she still would have a perfect score up till this point. For her next maneuver, she twisted the boys arm and flipped him into a pile in the corner. She then did a few flips over into the other corner and turned and waited. The boy got up with unsteady legs and the girl took off doing back flips over to the boy. With her last flip she somersaulted high into the air and landed on the boys shoulders, her tiny but mighty legs encircling the boys neck. His hands went immediately to her legs and he tried to pry them away. The boy walked around with the girl for a second or two, but finally his legs gave out and the girl slowly sank to the mat. She landed with her feet on the floor while the boy was on his knees. Her legs still gripped his head tightly in a scissors hold and as soon as her feet touched the floor she extended her hands out and up as if she had just finished a vault. The audience went wild. The boy still had his hands around her legs, but he wasn't having much luck in prying her legs apart. Just then the music changed. I recognized the selection from star wars. It was when R2D2 first meets the Jawahs. As soon as the music changed the girl began to walk the boy around the mat between her tiny but mighty thighs. The boy had no choice but to follow. Whistles and cheers could be heard from the audience as she put the boy through his paces. I have to admit she accomplished this part of her routine in a very sexy manner. I couldn't help but cheer and applaud myself. By this time, the boy could barely stand his feet were so unsteady. He looked like he was drunk as he staggered around. Even that fit perfectly into the routine. She grabbed him by the neck and sexily walked him around in a circle, swaying her hips to the music, as she pranced about with the boy in tow. The audience kept time by clapping like a crowd does at a European circus. Her finale was breathtaking. It reminded me of an apache dance. She slapped his face back and forth with just enough force to make it look real. He really looked like a rag doll on stage with his arms and legs flailing about everywhere as she girlhandled him with her short but very strong arms. After the slapping routine, she did a dizzying array of throws and flips on the boy in a very short time period. As he landed, she somersaulted over to him and immediately had him spinning off in another direction. This time, the music was the theme from the movie 2001. It built to its finale as her movements became more spirited and forceful on stage as well. Finally, the boy was flipped one last time and as he got to his feet the small girl somersaulted over to him, lifted him up by his side onto her shoulders, and started to walk around the stage with him as the music hit its crescendo. The audience gave the girl a standing ovation. At this point, I didn't stand like everyone else did. I think the routine made Eva horny. While I was sitting on her lap, she grabbed my chin with one of her hands and made me look right at her. Then she laid a heavy wet kiss smack on my lips....it took my breath away. --------------------------------------- Helga and Inga decided to start their perusal of the convention floor with the far isle way. They thought it was the first isle. Actually, it was the last isle of the convention. It was the isle where games of chance and other unusual sights and odd booths could be found. Inga thought it reminded her of booths one might find at an American county fair. She had read about and saw such fairs in the movies. As they moved into the aisle, a big thrown dominated the right side of the aisle way. A very tall women was sitting on the thrown and there was a line of people waiting to see her. She was wearing a bikini and she had a jeweled crown on her head just like royalty. There was some young girls dressed in elf's costumes by a small gate before her. The gate was blocked with a sash that was hooked to one of the posts. One man at a time was led to the thrown by one of the elves. Usually, a woman followed the man up to the thrown. The woman would reach down and place the man on her lap and talk to him while another elf snapped their picture. Inga and Helga's curiosity's were aroused, so they decided to see what all the fuss was about. When it finally was their turn, the two women and the two men were escorted up to the thrown. The woman's name was Ingrid Luberger and she was from the German chapter of WIC. She was the tallest woman member of WIC standing an imposing seven foot four and one half inches in height. In her high heels she was over two and a half feet taller than Evander. She got up and stood next to him, as he tilted his head all the way back to look up at her. He of course, had his mouth open in awe as he gazed up at the mountain of a woman before him. It seemed, all the men reacted to Ingrid in the same manner. They were more than a little intimidated by her height in spite of her great beauty. She confided to Inga and Helga that the reaction of fear on the men's faces saddened her. Before they left for the next booth the women got a great picture of the guys each sitting on one of Ingrid's shoulders. She even autographed the picture for the two women. After they left Ingrid behind, the women reached down and placed the two men on their hips once again and started to stroll down the aisle way. The next booth that caught there attention was manned by three women of varying ages. There was a girl in her twenties, another girl looked to be about sixteen and the third girl looked to be about thirteen. All the girls were wearing bikinis and were very beautiful. There was three shelves of prizes behind them. On the top shelf were the most expensive prizes. The booth turned out to be an arm wrestling booth. Men could challenge one of the girls to and arm wrestling contest. The older the girl you challenged the better the prizes would be if you won. Helga looked at the shelves. There didn't seem to be any empty spaces on any of the shelves. They paused and watched the two matches that were going on at the moment. The men's girlfriends were cheering them on as the men strained with effort. The youngest girl was taking on a teenage boy of about eighteen. His face was a stunning shade of purple as he strained with all his might to put the young girl's hand down. His hand was even shaking from the great effort he was putting into the match. The girl had her free hand up to her mouth and tried to hide her chuckles as he strained and strained. The young girl didn't seem to be exerting herself at all. As the boy tired, his hand started to move inexorably downward. Helga knew the girl could have beaten him at any time. She was just playing with him. Finally, his hand hit the counter and he slumped over in exhaustion. The girl bent over the counter, kissed him on the cheek, and yelled out, "Good match!" The boy hung his head down and took a quick glance at his girl friend who was shaking her head but smiling. "I didn't make you mine because of your muscles," she exclaimed. Then she reached over and gathered up the boy in her arms and strolled off with him. The other match pitted a man in his late twenties with the sixteen year old girl. He was a few pounds heavier and an inch or two taller than the girl, but he was faring no better than the other guy did. In fact, the girl was ignoring him as he struggled. She was talking to the man's dom as the match continued on and the man struggled and struggled. The girls arm stayed straight up at ninety degrees as the two women discussed the latest fall line of clothing. Finally, the girl looked back at the man and said, "Oh! I forgot about you," and gently but firmly touched the man's hand to the counter. He got a kiss for his efforts as well. After the second couple moved off, the oldest women looked at Harvey on Helga's hip and asked, "Want to wrestle?" He looked her over and answered in a somewhat timid voice, "You'd slaughter me!" The young woman laughed and offered a proposition. "How about if I let you have a freebie, and I'll use only three fingers against your whole hand....What do you say sport?" Harvey looked up at Helga. She smiled at him, shrugged, and said, "What do you have to lose. I know your not Hercules." All the women laughed and that got Harvey's competitive juices flowing. The match was on, Beth's three fingers against Harvey's whole hand. The match lasted ten seconds. It ended predictably. Harvey couldn't stop his arm from hitting the counter. He was really embarrassed at the loss as the other women cheered and clapped for Beth. Beth smiled a wicked little smile at Harvey, got another idea, and said, "What do ya say to another match Hercules....How about if I use only two fingers this time. Harvey knew he'd probably lose, but with this handicap, How could he turn her down? Helga would never let him hear the end of it if he chickened out. So he accepted....What choice did he have? This time Beth used only two fingers. She even showed some strain on her face as she put his hand down in just under a minute. The other girls clapped and cheered. Harvey feared he would hear one more proposition from the girl. He was right. "How about if I only use my pinky finger, honey...You think your man enough?" He sighed, shot a quick glance at Helga who was trying to contain her laughter, and grabbed Beth's pinky finger with his whole hand. The final match that took place will go down in the annals of wimp history forever. ------------------------------------- Gundy and Brome decided to split up and look for Jim and Eva. Each started at one end of the convention floor and they met forty five minutes later near the middle. Neither had any luck. Gundy could see the sadness and desperation on Brome's face when they again found each other. Gundy offered to look once more. "Why don't we start over and try again. This place is really crowded. It would be very easy to miss them." Brome looked at her sister, gave a forced little smile, and said, "Thanks Gundy!....I will make this up to you." She hugged her sister tight for a few seconds. Then they were off again searching the convention floor. -------------------------------------- A very strange booth caught Helga and Inga's attention. The woman manning the booth was alone and the booth was decorated very exotically. The strange old woman was dressed in gypsy clothes and there was only one thing on the counter, a big crystal ball. A sign over the booth read Madam Nanuchka fortunes told and spells cast. The two women couldn't help but be curious. They strolled over to the booth and when the old woman spied Helga a strange smile danced across her face. As soon as Helga walked over, the old woman asked, "You are worried about one of your daughters...No?" "How did you know that?" Helga asked in a surprised tone. "Madam Nanuchka knows all," she stated in an even voice, "would you care to buy a spell?" Helga shot back, "This is the nineties, were in New York City, I don't believe in that sort of thing." Madam Nanuchka laughed and said, "Since I've moved to New York my business has been almost too much for me to handle. There is a place here they call Wall Street. You would be surprised how many people want spells cast." Helga smiled and said, "Thank you, but I don't think you can help me." Both Inga and Helga started to move away from the booth. "Wait! Madam Nanuchka shouted. Both women stopped and turned back toward her. "Here, Take my card. You never know when you may need my services." Helga paused a second, but took the card. Madam Nanuchka thought a moment herself then added, "I have a daughter...Her name is Sarina. She is a modern woman of the nineties. She lives back home in the bayou's of Louisiana. She has many college degrees....She knows all about how a man's mind works...about hypnotism and programming. She may be able to help your daughter. Take her card too." The old woman smiled a strange knowing smile at Helga as she took the card. It made Helga uneasy. A few moments later, Helga walked away from the booth. She turned one last time to look at the old lady. She was still smiling that weird knowing smile at her. She was going to throw the cards away, but for some reason she tucked them in Harvey's shirt pocket and walked towards another booth. ------------------------------------- The third part of the show...the combat demonstrations were almost over. I had to turn away a couple of times. The men were really taking their lumps. During the whole showing, I didn't see one man score any sort of hit except Bill and he wasn't doing so well either. The men were hopelessly outclassed. After the show ended, I was very proud to see that Bill was one of only three men that sort of walked off under their own power. Marcy draped his arm around her shoulder and helped him off stage. I noticed, for the most part, that his feet were still touching the floor. When all the competitors came back onstage for a curtain call, Bill was the only man that wasn't dragged or carried back onstage. I thought he must be one tough dude. As the show ended, Ms. Pierce again assured the crowd that the men were all right and all would wake up none the worse for wear. I thought if that was in deed the case, Why did their faces look like mincemeat? We were supposed to meet Bill and Marcy at their combat booth in an hour and a half. I thought it would take Bill at least that long to recover. We sat in our seats as the people cleared out. To my surprise Mandy showed up again and started talking excitedly to Eva. "Do you like designer clothes, Eva?" she asked. I thought that was sort of a redundant question. Eva was a woman. "A couple of the designers are having a special showing in the back. It's exclusive....only for club members. We can get some real bargains on nighties, bikinis, and special costumes." I saw Eva's eyes light up. I knew she was a clothes horse. Eva asked, "Can we take Jim?" Mandy thought a second and suggested, "We can leave him in Macholand...He'll be all right there for an hour or two." What the hell was Macholand I wondered. Eva thought for a few moments, seemed to make up her mind, and nodded in the affirmative. I had no idea what Macholand was, but I was about to find out. ---------------------------------------- Gundy and Brome met once again in the middle of the convention floor. Again neither girl had any luck. Gundy thought Brome looked even more despondent this time. "Why don't you go and find mom and Inga, Gundy.....And thank you for your help!" Brome said in a sad voice. Gundy looked at her sister and wanted to cry. For some reason she thought about Eva and was very angry at her. How could she steal Brome's man? Brome was going to continue looking for Jim. She promised Gundy she would meet the family in an hour right at this spot. Gundy gave her sister a hug and headed off for Machland to pick up Hiram. When she thought about Hiram her smile returned to her face. He really was the cutest little thing she had ever seen....Even cuter than Jim she thought. Maybe, she couldn't have Jim, but Hiram was going to be hers for ever and ever. Elf Nancy was still there. In fact, she was the one that brought Hiram over. She was still nuzzling his face as she walked back towards Gundy. Gundy shook her head, looked up at the ceiling, and somehow maintained her temper. Elf Nancy placed the precious little bundle back in Gundy's arms. Hiram was still mumbling something about being a captain of industry. Gundy immediately quieted him with a nuzzle or two of her own. That seemed to irritate elf Nancy. Gundy caught her reaction and smiled. Sorry elf Nancy, she thought, your never going to see Hiram Peabody again. Before she took off to find her mom and sister, for some reason, she glanced at the sleeping area inside the compound. She gave a startled little gasp. There was Jim sitting on one of the cots. "Is there something the matter?" elf Nancy asked. "Why no! Absolutely not!" Gundy shot back and took off in a jog to find Brome and tell her the good news. Hiram was still mumbling something about owning a 100 million dollar company, but she glanced down to make sure he was secure and held him tightly to her as she loped through the aisle ways. It took her almost twenty minutes to find Brome in the crowded convention center. She had to catch her breath before she was able to blurt it all out, but she eventually managed to tell Brome the whole story. Excitedly, Brome told her to find their mom and Inga and to meet her at the entrance. She would somehow figure a way to get Jim out of Macholand. When the plan was set, both girls took off in opposite directions. Brome made it to Macholand in two minutes flat. She saw Jim immediately and her heart began to race once again. She calmed herself, took her badge off her chest with her name on it, pulled her club ID card out, and walked up to elf Nancy. She held her fingers over her first name and flashed her ID in elf Nancy's face. "I'm in a hurry could you please give me back my little guy," she pointed towards Jim and said, "He's over there..My name is Eva Bromberg." Elf Nancy saw the last name on the card, smiled, and immediately took off to get Jim. Brome's heart raced as she watched elf Nancy look at the bracelet around Jim's wrist and then scoop Jim up in her arms and start to carry him over. Brome nervously looked all around to see if she could see Eva coming. She was nowhere in sight. "Here's your precious little bundle," elf Nancy said, but before she handed him over she nuzzled his nose one last time. Brome watched disgustedly...elf Nancy was obviously a chronic nose nuzzler. She immediately took Jim from the nose nuzzler. Jim stared into her eyes with a perplexed look on his face. "Who...Who are you?" he asked. Brome was startled at his lack of recognition, but slipped her hand over his mouth to silence him. "He's always in a fog when he wakes up from a nap," she told the nose nuzzler. "Got to run..Ta!Ta!" she said as she took off. Jim was already starting to struggle in her arms, but she had him under firm control. Elf Nancy waved good-bye as Brome quickly disappeared out of sight. ----------------------------------- Twenty minutes later the family was back in the limo. Brome still had her hand over Jim's mouth as he struggled in her arms. "What has she done with him?" Inga asked. "She's brainwashed him. I knew he wouldn't stand a chance against her," Brome informed the group. "We can't go back to the apartment...that's the first place Eva will look," Helga added. An unexpected voice spoke next, "We can go to my place. I have a whole floor to myself and plenty of room." Inga looked down, smiled at Evander, and kissed his cheek. Helga said to the driver, "Please take us to Evander Honeycutt's apartment....Do you know where it is?" The driver glanced in his rear view mirror, shook his head at the sight he saw in the back seat, and said, "Yes Ma'am!" "Good!" Brome answered. That takes care of one problem. Now, what about poor Jim here?" He was still struggling in Brome's arms and she still had her hand over his mouth. Helga thought a second and remembered the old lady at the show. She reached in Harvey's pocket and pulled out the cards. "I just might have a person who can help Jim, and bring back his memory too," Helga stated as she looked at the cards, "her name is Sarina....and she lives in Louisiana....Her mother says she's an expert with men's minds." Helga looked at the cards more closely and found humor in the irony of the situation. Sarina's mother, the old woman, plied her gypsy ways in New York City. While Sarina, the college graduate, lived in the bayou's of Louisiana. She shook her head and thought..only in America. Helga was lifted from her thoughts by Jim. He said, "Mmmpphh!" Brome's hand was still over his mouth. The women ignored Jim as Brome asked, "How will I get there?" It was Evander who came to the rescue once again. "You can have the use of my personal jet. You'll be there this evening. All I have to do is pull a few strings." Inga looked down, smiled at Evander for the suggestion, hugged him tight, and pulled his strings." "Great! Helga replied, "Eva will never find you there." Brome smiled at her mom, but a bad feeling engulfed her...She had great respect for Eva's ingenuity. She wasn't so sure Jim would be safe till he could be deprogrammed, and make his own choices. To be continued... In future chapters look for Brome to head down to bayou country to seek aid from Sarina. The rest of the family attends another tall woman's club meeting. And Helga finally has her dinner date with Jim's dad. .
