Riko had planted a listening device in the offices of The Hapten-Shufti Standard. However, this was not sufficient to record the conversation which occurred between Detective Rake and Amanda. The conversation had occurred in the reception area. It did detect a phone call between Amanda and Horace. This conversation was cryptic and not very helpful to Mistress Vania as she listened to it on her smartphone.
What could leave them in no doubt was the article that was to follow a few hours later. Priding herself on getting to press quickly Amanda had her story written and sent to Horace with the greatest of efficiency and speed.
As was expected Horace was overjoyed at the sensational nature of the story and the Nick Dunn tie-in. He matched it with a screaming headline: Kidney Kidnapping Crime Gang in Nick Dunn Frame Up.
Mistress Vania read the story with a look of real concern.
“This is not good at all,” she said, handing Riko the computer tablet. “They have quite good descriptions for each of us. And the description of the Lexus is so accurate there is no choice in the matter. It will have to go. We cannot even risk driving it out of Hapten-Shufti.”
“We must do something quickly,” said Riko. “The people in this town are relentlessly stupid and curious. It is a bad combination.”
“I know some Albanians,” said Mistress Vania. “They are friends of a friend. I can make a call. If we leave the keys in the ignition it will be gone in a matter of hours. We can report it stolen later and claim on the insurance.”

Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.17 Adventures in Fletcherism.
Roger was starting to smell. Riko took a bucket and sponge. She washed him with the care and attention usually reserved for a compact hatchback at a carwash. Roger lay on the ground to limit the chance of him slipping on the soapy floor. Riko wore her overalls and knee high Wellington boots. She moved Roger around with gentle kicks whereby he would roll in the direction indicated. With every inch of his body cleaned Roger was hosed down.
“That soap makes my skin feel so soft and fresh,” said Roger, making conversation. “Is it something special?”
“It’s dishwashing liquid,” said Riko. “There was nothing else. It cuts through grease and kills lice.”
“Cool,” said Roger, not bothered that he was being treated like a dirty pot. “Is Mistress Vania coming down today?”
Riko did not answer. Instead she pointed the hose directly at Roger’s head.

Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.16 Rake Comes to Visit
Riko prepared a mixture of lean chicken meat, finely chopped vegetables and rice. It was taken down to Roger in a plastic dish. The portion was small. Roger ate it quickly and found it insufficient. Raising the prospect of food in his mind, it was almost worse than eating nothing at all. His ravenous stomach’s reaction to the tiny meal was extreme and resulted in instantaneous indigestion.
Riko had advised him to eat it slowly. This would make it last longer, aid digestion and allow him to enjoy it. It was advice he did not follow. Later he regretted not listening to Riko.
Riko’s attitude to Roger was to liken him to a new pet animal. There was excitement at bringing him home, watching him adapt and react to his new habitat, followed by a more constant fascination in place of the initial buzz.
Riko was sure most of her animal pets had greater underlying intelligence than was possessed by Roger.
“He eats like a pig,” said Riko, as she returned from the cellar to meet Mistress Vania’s enquiring look. “And he doesn’t listen to anything I tell him. If he was a pet dog, I would return him to the pet store and get a replacement.”

When Mistress Vania arrived in the cellar, her latex suit shone like the paintwork on a new sports car. Bored with black she had decided on red for a change. Riko was dressed very much like a beautician at a day spa. The contrast between the two confused Roger. Usually he used their modes of dress as an indicator of what might happen next.
Initially he had been cold, however, over time he adjusted to being slightly damp, near naked and lying on the cold tiled floor.
“Being cold will help you burn more calories,” explained Mistress Vania.
She said this as though she was recommending the benefits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables.
“I think I understand, sort of,” began Roger. “You don’t want my kidney or money. You want to use your dominatrix ways to make me thin.”
“Not just make you thin,” explained Mistress Vania. “Make you thin and make you like it. To stop you from going back to your old ways, stop you from getting fat again in a month. I can change the way people view themselves by domination, humiliation and punishment. I have always done this more generally with my clients. Now I want to apply it specifically to a given problem – obesity – and see if I can achieve the same results. Wholesale behavioral change. Food is the new sensuality. In my old work new avenues have been exhausted. At a party you can say you paid a dominant female a week’s salary to strip you naked, cover you in beef gravy and spank you with a life sized rubber raccoon. No one will think worse of you. They’ll just nod wisely. I blame the internet. However, go to the same party when you are severely overweight and you will be treated like a heretic in fifteenth century Spain. Making fat people thin is the greatest challenge I have ever undertaken. It is a new form of domination and I shall be a pioneer in this new territory.”

Riko’s eyes strayed from Mistress Vania to a large box that sat by her chair.
“It’s addressed to you,” said Mistress Vania, anticipating Riko’s question. “I didn’t open it.”
“Perhaps it is my robot,” said Riko, dropping everything and running to the package. “I ordered it from Japan. Express air courier. It can be used for both work and leisure.”

Ep.13 Amanda Meets a Source
It was early in the morning and Grant Stoat was smoking his fourth cigarette of the day. He pined for Riko. He did not even know her name. So instead, when thinking about her, he called her my love.
Stoat was not unusual. Almost all men are at some point in their lives completely irrational over a woman. More commonly, they are irrational over any woman who gives them so much as a sideways glance. As for the women who are overtly hostile, they’re just playing hard to get. At least in the mind of the man who is on the receiving end of the hostility.
For Stoat, Riko fell clearly into this last category.
She had given Stoat no positive signals of any kind. Far from being discouraged, Stoat had rationalized that since Riko was a woman, she did not know her true mind. It was a challenge to him that he might win her over.
In many ways Stoat and Roger suffered from a common problem. They overestimated how much attention women might pay to them. Neither of these two men had much to offer. Yet where hope was absent, delusion made a serviceable substitute.
Stoat believed that the stars were aligned and with true commitment and purpose he could win Riko’s heart.
At the end of his nightshift delivering pizzas Stoat’s brain was even more addled than usual. He made a vow to do whatever it took to impress Riko. To show her the real Grant Stoat, so that she might fall in love with him as he had fallen in love with her.
Stoat even decided that he would take a night course at community college if necessary.
Without knowing it, Stoat was becoming a problem.
Mistress Vania did not like problems.

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.12: Hank Raises the Alarm.
Hank knew what it was like to be fat like Roger. Hank worked out and had ripped killer abs and his arms were massive. Yet it had not always been that way. Once Hank had been dumped by Daphne. It had hit him hard. He blamed her, then himself, then women generally and finally he blamed the world.
The world had a lot to answer for and he would show the world who was boss. What followed was a food binge that lasted three years.
It was brought to an abrupt halt with a medical emergency that ended in hospital with lifesaving surgery.
Then the rebuilding phase occurred with a new attitude to food and a new workout schedule. He returned to the world healthier and able to achieve his new goal which ended in him finding a semi-permanent girlfriend with body hair issues.

Ep.11 The Punishment Begins
Amanda drew a fish on her shorthand pad. It was heavily inspired by the cubism school of art and was done entirely in blue ballpoint.
The fact that Rake could achieve the exulted position of police detective in Hapten-Shufti was a poor reflection on the town. The police were set apart from the general public. The nature of the job made it that way. And as a journalist you expected to meet your fair share of weirdos. The overlap between the two groups in the form of Detective Rake was making Amanda’s article more difficult to write.
Hapten-Shufti was still a complete mystery to her. She had lived all over the country. All of the other places she had visited seemed to follow some common basic rules. How different could Hapten-Shufti be from the rest of them?

Ep.10 A New Life Awaits You In the Cellar.
With the man in the cap gone, Mistress Vania and Riko turned their attention back to Roger.
“What was that man saying?” asked Riko.
“It would seem,” said Mistress Vania. “That our car is very similar to the one owned by a famous jockey. Someone who appears in the local press. How that qualifies as news, I’m not sure.”
“We must push him all the way in,” said Riko, referring to Roger’s legs which were hanging out of the trunk.
The two women applied strenuous effort to the task of getting the back half of Roger into the trunk. The task seemed to be virtually impossible. The trunk was spacious, but Roger’s unconscious body was hard to move or arrange in anyway. It also refused to bend.
“We can use ropes,” said Riko with an eager enthusiasm. “He will not move. We will secure him like lumber.”
“I suppose we have little alternative,” conceded Mistress Vania. “Assuming you can get the ropes and the blanket out of the trunk.”
Riko managed to wriggle through a gap in the trunk opening that was not currently completely filled by Roger. With great effort she extricated herself with a sports bag in her hand.
Wrapping a blanket over Roger’s legs, Riko used an elaborate selection of knots to complete her task. By the end of the process Roger’s legs were bound and the lid of the trunk was tied down hard on his legs which still hung out from the knees to the feet.
“That will have to do,” said Mistress Vania.
With Riko driving the two women drove through the streets of Hapten-Shufti hoping not to attract any attention. They passed the shining new premises of Hapten-Shufti Lexus dealership. In the window was a large poster of celebrity jockey Nick Nunn and his new car.
“It is a strange thing - coincidence,” said Mistress Vania. “No-one ever notices a Lexus. That would be a fine thing.”

Audio book of Mistress Vania Changes Jobs. Ep.9: The Caravaggio Café and Grill.
Riko was working on refitting the cellar.
Her shoulder length straight black hair was wet with sweat.
Running the length of the ceiling were a systems of beams from which she could operate a number of hooks and winches. The beams were massive and larger than the beams that supported the floor above.
Riko’s knowledge as a Japanese rope master was essential to Mistress Vania’s plan. Yet Riko was being very cautious. She had never worked with someone so heavy. It would mean an upgraded rig and ropes.
She sat on the floor exhausted. The shiny white tiles were smeared with dirt and building material. The tiles went from floor to ceiling. The beams had been painted to match the tiles. It was a very clinical room and imbibed a sense cruelty and detachment.
Most importantly it was a room that would not detract from Mistress Vania. She had to be the center of everything. She was all important while the submissive was diminished to the point of nothing. During a session Riko knew her own role was both as an instrument and an extension of her mistress. To assist Mistress Vania it was necessary to give up your own ego. Riko was able to do this naturally and gratefully. She respected strength and in her eyes there was none stronger than Mistress Vania.
Most of the construction work on the cellar was complete. There was still some cleaning to be done, but everything was in place.
Getting to her feet she climbed the stairs slowly.
On the ground floor Mistress Vania was reading a financial newspaper. She reclined in a comfortable chair. A full length skirt hung in pleats around her feet.
“I didn’t know they made overalls that small,” said Mistress Vania, casually folding her newspaper.
The overalls were like those worn by a motor mechanic or factory worker.
“They do not,” said Riko, looking at her own small frame. “I sewed them myself. It was very satisfying. The old ones were too large and got in the way with their bagginess.”
Being able to perform building construction and make your own clothes should have impressed Mistress Vania. However, she made a point of never being impressed by other people.
