Episode 5

Ben and his reluctant detainee Frenier, gazed at their bleak surroundings in blank astonishment.

“This is not where they put me last time,” she said.

Ben was too shocked to reply. Everything he had believed now stood in smoking ruins.

“What do they plan for us?”

She patted his shoulder sadly.

“I already told Shelley that mate.”

Ben walked to the greyish wall and slammed his fist against it. To his surprise, the strange material seemed to bounce under the impact.

“I don’t think this wall is quite solid,” he muttered.

“Must be a force field then.”

He turned and gazed upon her calm face.

“You are taking this rather well.”

“I have no choice remember. At least I did not find myself tied to a table.”

He slid down the wall and placed his hands upon his knees. When she joined him he said, “You better tell me about it.”

She nodded and told the rather gruesome tale.

“It began about five years ago.”

“I would fall asleep and find myself lying on a table being raped by something I could not see. At first I thought these were only dreams until bruises began to appear.”

“You had bruises?”

“Along my thighs and bottom at first. Then along my tummy. That is when abduction came to mind. What concerned me was the simple fact that I really enjoyed it. Every time it happened I would climax.”

“I can just about understand that.”

“So last year I told Shirley and you know the rest.”

Ben nodded sadly.

“Can you accept my apologies?”

“That is okay with me. Any normal person would have scoffed.”

“You say these beings are invisible. Energy perhaps?”

“I really cannot say mate. Science was never my strongpoint.”

Ben sighed.

“I suppose we just have to wait until our captors are ready for us.”

“I wish they would get on with it,” she muttered. “It’s a bit like sitting at the dentists listening to the drill.”

He smiled at the obvious similarity.

“Welcome to our ship.”

The prisoners gazed around for the source of that soft and pleasant voice but saw nothing.

“Is someone with us?” Ben asked.

“We are phased out so that our appearance will not frighten you.”

“What are you like?” Frenier asked.

“Your language is too restricted for your understanding.”

“Why are we here and why torment this woman?”

The soft voice seemed to laugh.

“We are not tormenting her Ben. We simply give her pleasure.”

“You know my name?”

“Your poor mind is like a sieve. Of course I know your name.”

Frenier stood and tried to push her overgrown glands down.

“I would like these abductions to stop.”

There was a pregnant pause that gave her hope, until the nightdress was suddenly shredded.

“Oh no...” Ben muttered as her body came into full view.

“Our tests cannot be halted because of moral considerations. Our only promise is that neither of you shall be harmed.”

“Then leave her alone.”

He was suddenly forced to his feet, and his clothes quickly joined hers.

As he stood naked now, covering his bits as best he could, Frenier was forced down by some invisible force that neither of them understood.

“Do this thing for us,” the smooth voice said.

“Go and get stuffed!”

The woman’s substantial thighs were forced apart, and Ben was levitated into a horizontal position over the helpless body.

“Don’t do this thing!”

His protestations were in vain however. He was quickly stimulated and lowered on top, before his manhood plunged into that salty cavern.

He tried to stop his hips moving but the force compelled him to do so. Frenier hugged him tight as the sweating bodies clanged together at a somewhat frantic pace.

He felt that familiar surge as he climaxed inside her womb, before he was unceremoniously hauled off.

“We have enough now,” the voice said.

Ben was pinned to the wall as he watched the woman fade before his horrified eyes.

“Where are you taking her?”

“For further tests of course Ben. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Ben was just about to reply when he found himself back at home, naked as the day he was born. He grunted loudly and located the mobile easily.

“Is that you Derek? Get over to my place pronto. The greenies let me go.”

He disconnected and dashed into the bedroom looking for new clothes as he prepared for his friend’s arrival.

“I’ll wear my funeral suit. I’m in that kind of mood. My car can wait.”

He had only just finished when the doorbell rang and he rushed to open it.

“Am I glad to see you again,” he said giving him a hug.

“Harris popped around to see me. I’ll tell him you are safe after you fill me in.”

Ben led him into the lounge, and as they sat upon the sofa, his story came out.

“Then I was here.”

“It sounds like a bio programme to me. Some attempt to create a hybrid species.”

“You told me that aliens don’t go around bonking people.”

Kevin lowered his eyes in shame.

“I was proved wrong okay.”

“Will she be returned?”

“She told you that her experience started five years ago, and this voice promised her safety. We have no choice but to believe them.”

“I feel so damn helpless.”

“Not surprising after what happened to you both. I better check in with that cop. He seemed quite concerned.”

“He would be,” Ben replied.

After the call was made, Kevin grimaced.

“He is on his way. Apparently your car has been impounded.”

“I think that is the least of my problems. I now have the scoop of
the century but my editor will bin it.”

“Either that or Harris will quote national security,” Kevin reminded him.

The door knock came and Harris entered with a wide grin upon his face.

“Glad to see you in one piece Ben. I need to know everything for the record.”

Ben sighed and related the details as the detective took notes.

“Sounds to me like a nightmare.”

Ben nodded.

“One I’m glad to be out of.”

“This friend of yours indicated we would never see you again.”

Ben glanced toward Kevin.

“Thanks very much.”

“They found two piles of wood ash mate.”

“Obviously to throw others off the scent,” the reporter concluded.

Harris nodded in agreement.

“I’ll keep her home under surveillance. As for your story...”

“You want it kept out of the paper,” Ben muttered.

“At least for now mate,” Harris mumbled. “I’ll give you a lift back so that you can have the car.”

“That’s kind of you but should we not be trying to rescue her?”

Kevin glanced at Harris and said, “We certainly don’t have that kind of tech mate. Don’t you worry though. She’ll turn up okay.”

Ben and his friend followed the detective out and the reporter was soon en-route to the compound.

“Did you solve the puzzle of Shelley’s demise?”

Ben shook his head.

“Kevin suggests it was an abduction gone wrong, but that’s just his theory.”

“Then why not tell me?”

“I cannot answer that one mate.”

The car stopped and Ben climbed out as Harris tossed him the keys.

“Now I have this report to fill in.”

“I feel sorry for you mate. Your bosses won’t like it.”

“They probably won’t read it. Take care eh?”

As they parted, Ben swung around.

“Hey Harris?”

“Yes?”

“If she turns up can you let me know?”

“I was planning to mate. Now get yourself home, and if that editor of yours raises hell, tell him to phone me.”

Ben climbed inside his car and gunned the engine. Reversing out, he
headed home with wild thoughts running through his fertile mind.

“I wonder what happened to that apparition I rammed?”

He drew up outside his home and noted that Kevin was waiting outside for him.

“Still here I see.”

“We need to talk mate.”

Ben screwed his eyes at the comment.

“I’ve told you everything I know.”

“There is something that I need to tell you Ben.”

The reporter opened the door and led him inside the lounge.

“Out with it then?”

“Allow me to demonstrate.”

The figure of Kevin began to shrink and shimmer, until a four-foot bald grey being with two large hand digits stood before him. As he stared into the oval dark eyes, the reporter fainted.

“Oh that’s just great. A typical human response.”
