Here's a little prelude to the next part while we wait for the results...

Well, Phase One was occurring seamlessly. Both my sons arrived, and while they were initially surprised about Reed's presence, they got used to it quite quickly. Evan, especially, groped him every chance he got. They already expected something about my job, and I guess I might have been concerned about their lack of distress over my profession, but I suppose I was too relieved about it to worry about their possible moral bankruptcy.
Anyway, leaving Reed ball gagged and in a spreader bar for his legs and a spreader bar with a neck slot for his arms was just prime bait for Evan to spend the night tickling him to death, but I did so for good reason. Today was the day I recruited my son.
Andy and I went out on the pretext of getting food for everyone. It was snowing a little, and I was humming a few bars of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" as we drove along.
"So... Andy."
"Yeah, Dad?"
"Now that you know about my job... what do you really think?"
Andy chuckled. "What, afraid that I'm secretly horrified? Nah, Dad, I think it's awesome! I wish I could work there. How the heck did you even get a job like that?"
I smirked. "It's a funny story. My old pal, Jamie, and I used to play tie up games with each other. Well, to be perfectly honest, he was basically my first slave."
"Nice." Andy smiled.
"Yeah. He was a sweet guy. Wouldn't have minded keeping him for good, but then I'd never have joined the Company."
"Really?"
"Yup. It turns out, I was a pretty young thing the Company had their eye on, at least until they saw what I did. It was the last year of college, and Jamie had been getting ragged on by the prick captain of his football team. So I lured him over by saying I had tied Jamie up on a bet and knew that his captain would love the opportunity for some hazing. I had Jamie tied to a chair, all sweaty, and Pierre was totally fooled. I winked at Jamie and jumped the guy, tying him up and letting Jamie watch while I tortured him. I set up a video camera and pinched his nipples, tickled him, played with his junk. That's when the Company man came up to me."
"What happened?"
"He rang the doorbell, and I thought it was the cops or something, but he told me I did good work and then he explained what he was there for. And he said that although I was good material, he still had to bring someone to the Company as product - he had called it in already. And there wasn't a chance in hell I was gonna give them Jamie. So off Pierre went."
"Whoa... you just... sold him?"
"Remember, he had been tormenting my best friend. I wasn't gonna deal with that. But then the Company man took me too, tied me up and brought me to the Company, just as an initiation. That's when I got inducted in, and I've been a working man ever since. Kept them all off of Jamie, too, 'cause he was a handsome guy and a natural submissive, which is pretty much a gold mine in our line of work."
Andy had finally clued in to the fact that we weren't at a pizza place for pickup. We were at a small house, and I was looking at him.
"What is this, Dad?"
"Your chance. I'm picking up something for good ol' Reed in there. A Christmas present. Now... if you really want this kind of life... if you really want to be a Company man, and get to do what I do for a living... you'll follow me in and help me. If not, you'll just stay in the car. I won't judge you. This is it."
I smiled at him, patted his shoulder, and got out of the car.
Started walking.
And in about five steps, I heard the other door open.
Excellent.
