Vera.

"Are you going to question her again?" Ashley asked.

"Well, let's see what the others say first." Dave said. "Did you want to question this time?"

"Um, can you come with me? You know, in case I forget something." Ashley said.

Dave looked at Ashley. Her face screamed 'Get Me the Fuck Out of Here!' "This place makes you uncomfortable, doesn't it?"

"Just a little."

Meanwhile, the mistresses could not stop talking amongst themselves.

"So what did you tell him?" Victoria asked.

"I told him what we went over." Trish said.

"And did you explain the hanging?" Stephanie asked.

Trish made an uneasy face. "Oh shit! I totally forgot about that!"

"Trish! They probably think you're lying! They probably think you did it!" Stephanie said.

Trish looked at her fellow mistresses. "Well, I can't lie about something I didn't see, now can I?"

Ashley beckoned to Queen Stephanie. "Can you come with us please?"

Stephanie nodded and followed the pair to the same room that Dave interviewed Trish. Stephanie sat in a chair in the far upper left corner while Ashley and Dave sat on the bed.

"Is there a reason why you sat there, Queen Stephanie?" Dave asked.

"It's my usual spot and I'm the most comfortable here."

Ashley put two and two together. "Your thing that you're into…"

"That thing that I'm into?" Stephanie replied.

"Your specialty, Queen Stephanie. Ashley is trying to ask if you're into…"

"Voyeurism? Yes. Sometimes I participate in sex but many clients prefer that I watch them. They find that it's enticing knowing that someone is watching their every moan, their every thrust, their every orgasm. Sometimes I masturbate along with them so there's another voice, you know? I have to admit I like to watch it as well. As a matter of fact, the two of you would be hot to watch." She said suggestively.

Ashley was clearly uncomfortable. "About tonight, Queen Stephanie, what happened in that room?"

"Well, Trish called Victoria and I down to meet with her. She told us that Randy wanted us to service him. I didn't care for that asshole but when Trish told us how much he was willing to pay, I couldn't refuse. Two thousand dollars is a lot of money."

"So what happened next?" Dave asked.

"We led him to a private room and we each took off his clothes. I then tied a rope around his wrists. It was connected to a pulley and I had him up near the ceiling. Victoria took out a whip and started to whip him as Trish and I watched."

"And then what happened?" Ashley asked.

"After ten minutes, he said the safety word, bananas, and we took him down. But then he said he wanted to try something new, something different. He wanted to be gagged and his balls tied by the rope. So I took out a gag-ball and put in his mouth while Victoria tied the rope around his balls. Trish was tying him to the wall. After we were done, we each took turns whipping him but he wanted more. He screamed through the gag-ball to stop. We took out the gag-ball and he said that he wanted his nose plugged up as well as the gag-ball. He also wanted one of us to jack him off while all of this was happening. We told him that was too dangerous but he didn't care. He was willing to pay us each triple what he was going to give Trish. None of us was about to turn that down."

"So then what?" Ashley asked.

"So Trish got out some plugs she had and plugged up his nose. Victoria squeezed the rope harder and I started to whip him. Meanwhile, Trish began to jack him off. But Victoria had an idea. She wanted to give Randy a little more torture for his money so she told Trish and me to stop servicing him."

"Really?" Dave questioned.

"So Victoria took Randy down from the walls and removed his plugs from his nose so he could breathe. She whispered in his ear what she wanted to try something. He nodded his head like a little schoolboy who wants candy. Victoria then came to us and told us what she wanted to do."

"Which was?" Ashley asked.

"She wanted to have Randy hang upside down while he was still gagged and plugged. She wanted Trish to continue to give him a hand job while I whipped him so we did all of that. Meanwhile, Victoria continued to squeeze his balls with the rope. Trish felt that he was about to come so she began to give him head and I was whipping his back. And then it was over. Once we took the plugs out of his nose and the gag-ball out of his mouth, he was dead. We called Mistress Lilian right away."

"What length of time do you estimate all of this happened in?" Ashley asked.

"I say about 30-45 minutes."

"And how long were the plugs in his nose both times?"

"I guess, maybe, two minutes."

"We hear that Randy had a rough reputation around here. How did he treat you?" Dave asked.

"Like shit. After he was finished fucking one girl, he would often smear her cum on my face and asked me how does her pussy taste. Quite a few times when we were having sex doggy-style, Randy would shove my face so hard into the floor that I would get rug burn on my face." Stephanie made a gesture to show a recent scar. "And then sometimes he'll give me a golden shower without my permission."

"Golden showers?' Ashley questioned.

"He would piss on me." Stephanie said.

Ashley almost threw up in her mouth. She couldn't get the next question out so Dave took over.

"How long did he treat you like this?" Dave asked.

"For about six months. I hated every time he would come in. He changed his days so he would catch us by surprise. But we had no choice but to service him. He threatened to shut the place down if we didn't."

"Is there anything else you want to add, Queen Stephanie?" Dave asked.

"Nothing, other than I'm quite glad he's dead." She smiled.

"Okay, that is all for now. If we have any more questions, we'll talk to you." Dave stood up.

"Are you sure that the two of you don't want to utilize the room? It'll be on the house." Stephanie suggested.

"Hell no!" Ashley hissed.

Dave sharply looked at her. "She means maybe another time." Dave and Ashley then left the room.

"I'm sorry about my little outburst in there." Ashley apologized.

"Ashley, if you don't want to be on this case, I'll take you off. But you need to remain professional at all times, you hear me?" Dave said.

Ashley nodded. "I hear you."

Dave breathed. "Good. Now let's interview the last one." He began walking down the hallway.

"So what do you think about Stephanie?" Ashley asked.

"She sounds credible." Dave said.

"But…"

"I'm thinking of the timeline." Dave spotted Chavo, John, and Chris. "Hey guys, did the coroner pick up the body?"

"They just left a few minutes ago. They placed the time of death about three hours ago." John said.

Dave thought about what Trish said to him earlier and what Stephanie just explained. "That's interesting." He muttered.

"What's interesting?" Chris asked.

"Well, Lady Trish told me that Randy came in around six o'clock. Queen Stephanie admitted that the session took no more than 45 minutes. I received the call shortly after midnight about the death here." Dave looked at his watch. "It's now two o'clock."

"That would put his death at eleven tonight." Chavo said.

"Exactly." Dave said.

"I'm also having a hard time understanding why Trish would leave out such a key detail about the hanging yet Stephanie would remember it. It seems a little odd." Ashley said.

"Well, maybe she forgot." Chavo shrugged.

"Man, there's no way in hell you can forget something like that!" John said.

Dave thought about the circumstances and then spoke. "Both of their stories have huge discrepancies but we'll go over that later. The only way Lady Trish would forget such a crucial part of the night is quite simple: She wasn't here at the time."

"And what about Queen Stephanie?" Chris asked.

Dave smiled. "I have a good feeling that after John and Chavo interview Dominatrix Victoria, we'll discover that Queen Stephanie wasn't around neither."
