She turned, but, still holding Sammy, Jack slammed the barred door shut and slipped the lock.

"Let me out of here!" Amanda screamed. She grabbed the bars and shook them, but the cage had been built to hold men, and she only managed to rattle the inch-thick bars.

"Let go of me!" Sammy spat as Jack tossed her lightly over his shoulder.

She beat at his back with her free hand, but he ignored that and threw her none too gently over the padded bar of the main restraining apparatus they used.

"Stop that!" she screamed, but Jack grabbed her arms and pulled them down as she hung, bent at the waist over the bar. "Leave me alone!"

Jack slipped the restrainers over her wrists with practiced ease and tightened them until Sammy was stretched out.

He grabbed each of Sammy's ankles and pulled them apart, lashing them to the legs of the apparatus so that she was utterly helpless. Her legs were wide-open and her short skirt only just covered the tops of her white stockings. They were stretched very uncomfortably and the bar cut into her slim waist.

"Let me go!" she screamed. "What are you going to do?"

Jack walked over to the cage and opened the door. Amanda cowered back against the wall, wishing suddenly that the two of them had never started the whole thing. But it was too late for that. Jack grabbed her wrist and hauled her out of the cage, kicking and screaming. He dragged her over to the rope that hung from the ceiling and tied her hands to it, tightening the slip-knot over her wrists until she moaned with pain. Then he took her ankles and tied them to the ring bolts in the floor, leaving her legs as wide-spread as Sammy's. Finally he went to the wall and hauled on the rope, heaving Amanda up until she was stretched out, her feet only just touching the floor and straining against the ring bolts.

"What are you doing!" Amanda screamed in terror. "Let me down, we haven't done anything to you!"
