This story was inspired by a comic book tale, "The Switch," written by "suke bei" and drawn by "kono yaro." I'm doubly grateful to my friend, cc. First, he drew my attention to a few of the panels posted to the otherwise undistinguished yahoo group, "baldrevenge." Later, his determined detective work tracked down the rest of it (in "Lust in Space," by Eros Comix). In my story, the main characters are two (rather than three), there's more character development, and the plot travels a somewhat different path. REFLECTIONS by C. Lakewood "Shee-it," Sgt. Sylvia Simon muttered to herself as she left the office of her precinct commander, her stripes figuratively hanging by a thread. It demanded all of her control to resist slamming the poly-glass door behind her. "B.I.C.'s run by assholes these days...." As she strode through the noisy squad room like the Fourth Horseman, she glanced at the electronic calendar on the wall -- "1 April 2109." "April Fucking Fool's Day," she thought. "How goddamn appropriate. A hundred years ago, nearly all the people in power -- in law, science, politics, media, education -- everywhere -- were stupid or corrupt or treasonous or, sometimes, all three.... And most were 100% self-centered. But, if you really tried, you could probably figure out how to deal with 'em. Now, though, you get deliberately ambiguous orders (and a wink), like, 'Do whatever it takes....' So you get the job done, but the perp whines a little, and you get charged with shit like 'Excessive Use of Force' and 'Inappropriate Sexual Behavior.' You get reamed out and shunted aside, given 'temporary duty' as a damn prison guard.... Assigned to Wormwood Penitentiary! The only good thing about that place is that prisoners have no rights at all.... But 'temporary' is SUPPOSED to mean from a couple of weeks, maybe, to a couple of months.... Shit! This duty could last a couple of YEARS -- maybe more. I ought to just...." Lost in thought, she had barely noticed the prisoner in the holding cell, who was apparently awaiting transport...probably to prison. Something, however, caused her to pause -- the prisoner was naked, bald (head AND crotch), and rather attractive...in a tall, slender, athletic, and small-breasted way. In fact, with hair and in a uniform, she might have resembled Sgt. Simon herself to a considerable degree. The sergeant immediately got the germ of an idea that was both whimsical and salacious: finger-fucking that prisoner would almost be like masturbation...but with a weird, added dimension. Simon regarded herself in the polished steel mirror bolted to the wall, made a couple of adjustments to her already immaculate Bureau of Investigation and Corrections uniform, and proceeded briskly to the front desk. There she learned that the prisoner -- named Angela Garret -- was indeed ticketed for Wormwood prison. Her offer to escort Garret was gratefully accepted by the harried transport officer, with a minimum of red tape and only a briefly raised eyebrow. ****************************** Two hours later, Sgt. Simon was behind the wheel of an unmarked B.I.C. van, watching a burly matron bring out the prisoner. Angela Garret was wearing only a short orange poncho, handcuffs, and, surprisingly, a dark wig. "Put her in front," Simon said. "And what's with the wig?" The matron snorted. "The latest brilliant PC idea from the 'think tank.' It's supposed to make prisoner transfers more...'discreet.' Like the unmarked van. Anyway, it's just for the trip." She eased the prisoner into the front seat and swung a small duffel into the back. "Bag's standard now, too. Got everything you might need and lots of stuff you won't." She handed Simon a manila file folder and slammed the van door. "See ya." Simon nodded and drove off in the direction of the freeway on-ramp...but passed it by, crossing the river and entering a desolate slum area, once teeming but now practically deserted, having been designated for "urban renewal." Though the sun was still shining, the streets seemed dim. Storefront windows were broken or boarded up, and puddles of oily rainwater lay stagnant in potholes and trash-choked gutters. Grimy shards of glass were strewn here and there, occasionally glinting with stray particles of light. Weeds sprouted from cracked pavements. Even the graffiti was worn and illegible. It was fifty square blocks waiting to die, but Sgt. Simon found it stimulating. She turned down a shadowed alley and through a broken fence, finally parking behind an abandoned factory. Angela was quite defenseless, with her hands cuffed behind her back, and looked appropriately apprehensive. The sergeant's comment was not reassuring. "Before we go on, I think we should get...ah...better acquainted, fish." She pulled the orange poncho off Angela and tossed it into the back seat. The wig went along, which rather annoyed Simon, since it had enhanced the resemblance between her and the prisoner, so she went to the trouble of retrieving and replacing it. After a long, unambiguous look at Angela, Simon thumbed open the manila folder and frowned at the prisoner's abbreviated rap sheet. It was pretty thin. The first page showed a rather bleary mug shot under a few lines of bare-bones information: Garret, Angela aka "Ferret" ID JU87-3883-0030 Female Caucasian Brown hair (originally) Brown eyes DOB: 31/3/2081 Sentence: 15-20 years (max security), Wormwood Correctional Facility Simon flipped over to the second page, in the process popping off the paper clip that held the two sheets. The clip hit the dashboard and ricocheted who-knows-where. Simon merely shrugged and turned her attention back to the file. This page briefly listed the prisoner's priors: Grand Theft, Bunco, Jail Break, B&E, Prostitution...and noted her current physical measurements: 5'6˝" 128 lbs. 34-26-35. Simon began to salivate. They were practically identical; she was barely half an inch taller and a couple of pounds heavier, but proportioned similarly. Both had dark brows, high cheekbones, and aquiline noses. In search of more information, Simon fired up the van's built-in computer. While she was waiting for it to boot, she adjusted her rear-view mirror so that she could keep an eye on her prisoner, who was squirming in her seat. Simon called up Angela's permanent record, but didn't learn much more, except about her parents, who were dead. Her father had been a psychologist until his conviction for "anti-social behavior" -- giving a speech against partial-birth abortion -- and afterward a carnival barker, magician, and ventriloquist; her mother had been a contortionist, wire-walker, magician's assistant, and part-time pickpocket. ("Odd-ball assholes," Simon muttered. "Too bad they're not around to see how their little girl wound up.") On a whim, she accessed her own permanent file -- something she was able to do only because of a sysop's password that she'd obtained during a long, looong week-end. (She licked her lips at the memory.) She scowled at a string of recent fit-reps that labeled her "vain," "arrogant," "holier-than-thou," "self-centered," and "ruthless." ("Asshole supervisors," she thought. "Goddamn weaklings.") In passing, she noted that her photo was half a dozen years old and probably should be updated. Of more importance, she also saw that she'd been assigned to the kitchen and the laundry at Wormwood -- the bottom of the barrel; she deftly changed it to Intake and shower-room duty. She also took the opportunity to delete a couple of the black marks on her record -- typical of the shit she always thought she never should have been reprimanded for. Then she noticed that her prisoner had stopped squirming. She swiveled in her seat. "Now...." "Please...," Angela whined. "Oh, knock off that naive shit, bitch. According to your sheet, you weren't born yesterday. Besides, you might as well prepare a bit for what you're gonna get a lot of for the next 15 to 20, which you'll serve naked and hairless, with big, beefy dykes -- mostly black -- as cellmates...." She plucked an object from its place on the console and held it up -- a shiny black dildo-shaped device some 18" long. "Shock stick. It's pretty new, so you may not have felt one...but you will. All corrections officers at Wormwood carry 'em. You'll get it once in a while if you're a 'good girl,' and quite often if you're bad. On 'low,' it delivers both pain and pleasure (about 50-50), but, on maximum, it incapacitates. Really uncooperative cons get it up the cunt. Jam it in, and push this little red button, and it discharges all the way. I'm told it's like a lightning bolt...fries your clit and everything; you're unconscious for an hour or so. Takes about an hour to re-charge. So, by the time you wake up, it's ready to go again, and, if you're still unruly, you'll take it up the asshole. Even if you've decided to be a good girl after you wake up, and your asshole lucks out, your cunt'll tingle for a couple of days. Makes you horny as hell." She chuckled and returned the stick to its place. Then she reclined both seats to horizontal and began stripping off her crisp uniform. ****************************** Straddling Angela's supine body, Simon gazed wolfishly down at her, licked her lips, and bent to to suckle on the prisoner's welcomingly erect nipples. At the same time, the sergeant's right hand was busy with Angela's cunt, and she was pleased to find it already flooded with juice. She kept her eyes only half-open; she could still see Angela, but the slight differences in their appearance were filtered out, enhancing the illusion that so fascinated her. She worked away, skilfully and relentlessly, until Angela had had two orgasms, the first reluctantly and the other wholeheartedly. The sergeant sucked her slimy fingers and smacked her lips. "Sweet and tangy," she murmured and lay back, wondering idly if they would taste more alike if they ate and drank the same things. "Now it's MY turn, sister," she purred. "Get over here, and use YOUR mouth on ME. Do it well, and maybe I won't have to punish you...much. Start with my tits and work your way south. I bet you've done your share of cunt-licking. Right?" "You didn't lick MY cunt," Angela groaned. "The world's divided between those who lick -- you -- and those that ARE licked -- me. So move your punk ass!" She gave a nasty chuckle. "Simon-sez: 'NOW!'" Angela dutifully moved over on top of the sergeant and began nuzzling her nipples. Simon's eyelids drooped. "Nice," she thought. "The girl's copying how I did her...sucking my tit and fingering my cunt...a mirror image, through and through.... She's goddamn good, too.... She writhed in heat. Then came the dawn. "Wait!" she gasped. "How can you finger my cunt if you're CUFFED?" (Angela considered that a rhetorical question and did not answer.) At the same time, Simon felt a dildo probing the entrance to her cunt. (A dildo? No, it was the dildo-shaped shock stick. In point of fact, Angela had been squirming in her seat while Simon was on the computer because she was using the discarded paper clip to pick the lock on her handcuffs; she was now free. She also had a Plan.) "Wait a minute.... Just wait.... Get back in your seat, Angela," Simon ordered. But that was not part of the Plan. Instead, Angela, remembering what she'd been told, just jammed it in (shlurp!) and pushed the red button (ZZZZZZT!). "Aaaaahh!" Simon uttered a cry of agony -- and ecstasy -- before passing out. ****************************** Consciousness returned to Sgt. Simon slowly and in stages. She first began to feel a persistent itching-burning-throbbing between her legs. Then she opened her eyes and found that she was looking straight at a distorted image of herself; a trick of the light had turned a cracked glass door into a funhouse mirror. She was inside somewhere, naked, sitting perched on a stack of skids, with her arms secured overhead, wrists cuffed over the hook of a winch. Angela was sitting under a window, now wigless, thumbing through a small looseleaf notebook that had the familiar B.I.C. logo on the cover. The duffel was open at her side. Angela looked up from her book. "Welcome back from limbo, Sweetie. Did you dream about me?" Simon scowled. "You're in real trouble, now, sister. Better let me loose before it gets worse...." "Oh, cut out the bull-shit, Sgt. Sappho," Angela snapped. "You got two choices: cooperate and survive...or go on tryin' to be a hardass, and I'll just split.... And nobody'll ever find you. So what's it gonna be?" "I-I'll co-operate...." "Okay. Begin by telling me what a good little girl you're gonna be. And call me 'ma'am.'" Simon squeezed her eyes shut and mentally called Angela every bad name she'd ever heard (and a few she made up on the spot), but aloud she said, "I'll be good...." "What say?" "I'll be a...good girl.... Ma'am." "So now you've said the words. That's an improvement. It'll be even better when you've learned some humility. Get up." She turned the crank on the windlass. It squealed, but did its job, and Simon was forced to her feet. Angela came up behind her and tore open a small plastic packet and extracted a piece of gauze. Its odor was familiar: an antiseptic swab. She wiped it on Simon's left butt-cheek, discarded it, and retreated to the duffel. "That matron was right. There IS a lot of stuff in this bag -- stuff I can use to teach you some things." She smiled sweetly and flourished the B.I.C. notebook. "And even an instruction manual that tells me how to use it all." She pulled out a device vaguely resembling an antique cell phone: roughly 4" x 3" and 1" or so thick, it had a built-in key pad. "Laser tattoo thingy," Angela giggled and pressed the end against the middle of Simon's left buttock. A barely audible hum was all but drowned out by Simon's screech. "I programmed it earlier with my ID," Angela remarked, and, when she removed the device, Simon's butt was clearly marked with the alphanumeric "JU87-3883-0030" (and, just below that, its equivalent bar code). "Accordinging to the book, the ink contains some sort of special healing agent, so that'll be all better in a couple of hours. And then, let's see how YOU like carrying a brand, Sweetie." She tossed the tattoo unit back into the duffel. "For my next trick, I'll require -- ta da!" She pulled out another, somewhat larger device. "An electronic hair removal gizmo. One use'll keep you smooth and hairless for months...and destroy some follicles in the bargain." She began running the depilator over Simon's head, leaving swathes of bald skull behind and creating quite a stench as Simon's short dark hair frizzled and turned to ash. Angela brushed the burnt hair from Simon's head. She held a hand-mirror in front of Simon. "We could be twins.... Well, almost. To finish the job, there IS one other place I need to use this on. Right, Sweetie?" "Oh god!" Simon moaned. As it destroyed her hair, it had caused her scalp to vibrate. That had been mainly an annoyance, but, if the thing were used on her already super-sensitive cunt.... "No, please!" Angela merely giggled as she touched the depilator to Simon's crotch.... She was relentless. Long after the last hair between Simon's legs was toast (literally), Angela kept the device humming over her bald skin. It was insidious, implacable...teasing and tormenting her on and on, but, for a long time, just not quite enough to make her cum. Simon was up on her toes, straining and babbling and bathed in oily sweat, before she finally started cumming...and cumming...and cumming.... At length, Angela clicked off the device, grinned at the exhausted sergeant, and asked, "So what does Simon say now, eh?" "Th-thank y-ou, ma-am." She sounded sincere. "Okay. Now it's time you learned that you are among 'those who lick' after all...." She hopped up onto the stack of skids and spread her legs. "And that I am one of those you lick. So get down there and get to it. LOTS of tongue.... Be a good girl, and don't even think of biting me. I promise you won't like what happens.... That's right.... Ooooh! Yes! Yes, you're gonna be a really first class 'bottom.'" Angela's orgasms were gentler and farther apart, but every bit as good as Simon's had been -- better, in fact, because her cunt was satisfied for the moment, not immediately screaming for more attention like the sergeant's cunt. Simon's jaw was aching, her lips and tongue sore, and her face slathered with cunt-juice by the time Angela called a halt. (Interestingly, Simon had cum twice more in learning that she was, indeed, among those who lick...and get off on it.) Simon, sagging wearily in her bondage, watched silently as Angela wiped her crotch, resumed her wig, and put on the natty B.I.C. uniform. She immediately took on the authoritarian persona that went with the uniform. She stood in front of Simon for a moment, preening. "Not twins anymore, I'm afraid, Sweetie." Then she again sheathed the shock stick in Simon's dripping cunt and pushed the red button. ****************************** As Simon gradually floated back to consciousness, her senses re-activated one by one. First and foremost, there was an awful, consuming need to cum. It felt as though fire ants were swarming in her cunt. But there wasn't anything she could do about that. She was well-secured, with her arms wrapped around the back of her seat and cuffed. She couldn't even close her legs and try to rub her thighs together; her legs were spread and her ankles shackled far apart. She groaned. The van was traveling smoothly along the freeway with Angela behind the wheel. She glanced over the top of her mirrored sunglasses at her writhing prisoner. "Have a good sleep, Sweetie? You were out longer than before, but you don't look very rested...." "My...poor...cunt," Simon croaked. "Yeah. I guess you didn't read the instruction manual. Tsk, tsk." She shook her head. "You public school grads.... I was mainly home-schooled, but much better educated. I guess they don't allow home-schooling anymore, though. Too bad. Times change...and rarely for the better. Anyway, seems a lot of the B.I.C. dykes have been using those shock sticks on themselves, for 'recreational purposes,' so there's a warning, in red letters, that repeated maximum discharges may result in permanent nymphomania and the partial or even complete loss of the ability to cum." Simon whimpered. "Though you're public school 'educated,' you aren't stupid, so you've surely figured out where we're going and what the plan is. So you figure on cooperating until we get to Wormwood, and then you can tell your story and convince the screws that it's the truth." She pulled the van out of traffic and onto the shoulder. As they rolled to a stop, she held up a plastic pump-bottle of some dull yellow liquid. The label on the bottle read, "Sty-FulŽ." She pushed the nozzle between Simon's compressed lips and worked the pump a couple of times. "There. That should keep you mute all through Intake and beyond, and, once you get into the general population, I don't think you'll want to announce that you're really a cop -- especially since there's cons who'll believe you a lot quicker than the screws will. And, of course, I'll be around to 'help out.' "Next, it's probably occurred to you that your fingerprints won't match Angela Garret's.... Ah, but they will. There's a fingerprint scanner in the duffel (that bag's better than Batman's utility belt), and you were nice enough to leave the computer logged on. With the scanner (instructions provided) and that super-password, I had no trouble switching our prints. Your voice? There's nothing particularly distinctive about it, and I could mimic it well enough if I had to, but I don't think I'll have to." Simon looked at her own haggard features in the mirrored lenses of the B.I.C. sunglasses, but she saw Angela Garret's face staring back at her. Game...set...match. Angela turned her attention to merging back into freeway traffic. "Being a screw for a while ought to be a nice vacation for me, paid by the B.I.C." Her throaty laugh harmonized with the roar of the van's engine as they swung back onto the freeway. "Next stop: Wormwood Penitentiary."
