Part 8: Escape Attempt
Annie Goodbody returned a short time later. Barbara watched as she approached, her lab coat gone. How fantastic of a figure the woman had as she moved. The shiny black rubber clothing and sky high heels made her look so sexy and desirable in an incredibly erotic way.
She made Batgirl stand and after collecting the collar and gag from the table, they headed out of the room. She made no move to put them as they boarded the elevator.
“All he said was to get you out of the testing center, that’s it.” She said with the lift stopped between floors again. “Is the cable there?”
“Yes, thanks to you, we have it.” Batgirl said. “Annie, we’re one step closer to getting out of this place. Too bad we can’t do it now.”
“Why not?”
“No, he’s too active right now. If he was busy with his client, we might have a chance. If his client happens to drive up and see us repelling from the roof, the games up. No, it’s too dangerous to risk it right now.”
“Oh, you’re right.” Annie said, “But what if we go to the roof and wait for the client to show? They have no reason to look up at us. After they arrive, we can make our escape.”
Batgirl thought for a second. “Is the defense network activated?”
“Partially.” She replied. “The internal defenses are shut down. The perimeter defenses are active, but he will shut those down when the client arrives so they can gain access.”
“Won’t he need you when the client arrives?”
“Usually he does, to help demonstrate the devices, but not this time. The client is bringing a test subject.”
Poor devil. Batgirl wondered who that unlucky victim was going to be.
“What is the Professor doing right now?” Batgirl asked. “Is there a chance he’s watching us?”
“He’s making last minute adjustments to the project. He’s so agitated I doubt he will be.”
“So the Professor will be busy with his client and not checking the monitors. What are you suppose to be doing during this time?”
“I was told to remain with you till the Professor calls for us.” Annie said. “He has something special planned for us later this evening but I do not know what.”
“When will the client arrive?”
“I don’t know for sure, but any moment.”
“Can you get us on to the roof?”
“Yes. I know the way there and how to open the doors.”
“So your orders are to stay with me, and be anywhere but the testing center?”
Annie thought. “Yes. He was in such a state of panic, he made the mistake not telling me to take you to you cell!”
Batgirl thought quickly. They might not get a better opportunity at this.
“Ok, this might be our moment to take the chance. Take us to the roof.”
“What if he catches us going there before the client arrives?” Annie said as they took the elevator to the top floor.
“The controls got stuck and took us to the top floor. I begged you to let me see some sunlight. You thought the roof would be safe enough, since I was still chained up, but you still took the precaution to gag me so I couldn’t scream. It would also explain why we took so long to get there and that we talked about it first.”
“You’re brilliant!” Annie Goodbody said.
“You’re not bad yourself lady.” Batgirl said, noticing her sexy outfit again. “Now gag me for the cameras and let’s get out on the roof.”
The elevator reached the top floor. Before she opened the door, Annie got the purple gag ready.
“I hate to do this to you again, especially without orders.”
“Believe me, others have taken the greatest pleasure in doing so against my will. Nice to hear someone is reluctant about it when I’m asking to have it done.”
“Return the favor some time.” Annie said. Batgirl wasn’t sure if she meant reluctant about gagging her or she hoped she would gag her sometime. Annie strapped the ball gag back in place, making it a little looser than the last few times. Batgirl appreciated that.
Annie opened the doors and taking Batgirl by the arm, led her down the hallway. A camera spied them as they went, so Annie made sure that she was leading the bound captive. Batgirl struggled slightly in her grasp. Neither spoke a word as they walked to the roof access stairwell.
But they never got there.
Had they been more cautious, they might have noticed the laser beams crossing the floor. As the approached the stairwell door, they broke the path of the beam and something clicked. Annie froze in place at the sound, which was the wrong thing to do, and Batgirl couldn’t run. Batgirl tried to tell Annie to move, but the gag prevented her being able to communicate.
Something began to quickly whirl around them. They felt something wrapping around their bodies over and over again. They had been walking closely together, so when the first layers of the fibers began to pull tight, they were forced together. More spider web-like fiber strands wrapped around their bodies, pressing them into one another, forming an inescapable webbing around them. The process took lest than ten seconds to complete, wrapping them in a spider web from their feet to their shoulders.
They were trapped.
Before they had a chance to think, the floor swung open and they were sliding down a tub. The ride ended when they and dropped onto a net.
In the laboratory.
The Professor looked up form his work. He was still alone.
“Miss Goodbody, what is the meaning of this!” he demanded as he stormed over to the webbed up women. “Why were you going to the roof!”
“Professor, please don’t be angry.” She cried. “Batgirl begged me to let her see sunlight. I felt sorry for her being trapped in a dark room all the time. So I figured that the roof was safe enough to take her too, especially if I gagged her so she couldn’t scream and alert anyone.”
“The roof?” he thundered. “She could have escaped! I ordered you to take her to her cell.”
Annie was so scared, she was crying.
“No Professor, you didn’t. You never said to take her to her cell. You told me to take her out of the testing center and stay with her. I did what you told me to do, but I was uncertain what you wanted me to do after. I figured the roof was safe enough and since she was still handcuffed, she couldn’t break free form me or run away. There would be no way she could escape especially if I kept her near the center of the building.”
Annie was so scared, but she doing a masterful job at telling her story. Thank goodness he didn’t order her to tell the truth.
“Is this true?” he asked Batgirl.
She nodded, thankful she was still gagged. Again, no orders for telling the truth. His anger was clouding his reasoning. Luck was with them, for the moment.
He thought hard for a moment. His anger subsided, realizing he had made the mistakes. Fortunately for him, they weren’t costly.
“You are correct Miss Goodbody, I was not specific in my instructions to you. My mistake, one I will not let happen again. However, you should have known better not to take Batgirl up to the roof in broad daylight, regardless if she was bound and gagged or not. You used poor judgment Miss Goodbody, and that is your mistake, one you will be accountable for shortly.”
“As for you,” he said to Batgirl, “perhaps my judgment is slightly clouded about how I have programmed you. Apparently my desire to not break your spirit has skewed my calculations and corrupted the results. I need to reevaluate this and will make alterations.”
Both women were now quite scared.
The Professor went to a shelf and pulled down an aerosol spray can. He sprayed the contents over the strong strands that pinned the two women together.
“Fortunately, my client is further delayed, till the top of the hour and did not observe this embarrassing display. Come to think of it, the client might be impressed. Well, no matter, we have time to prepare a different welcome for them.”
The spray caused the spider web cords to fall off and dissolve into a powder. Annie had a hard time climbing off, her tight skirt and high heels making the process slow. Since Batgirl was still bound in the cuffs and gagged, she couldn’t climb off the hanging web and was left until things were ready for her. She squirmed and rolled in the net, but was unable to roll off.
“However, with my client arriving within the hour, we do not have time to properly deal with this. Therefore, Miss Goodbody, to make amends for you error in judgment, you will participate in today’s demonstration. And you, Batgirl, will be a witness to it, just to remind you of whom you are dealing with and give you a second thought about crossing me again.”
The net was lowered, leaving Batgirl lying on the floor.
“We have much to do. Batgirl, Miss Goodbody, to the Testing Center.”
