~~~~ Obeyance 1/1 (Last Chapter of Renegade Addicts/Obeyance) By MacCousin Heather and Cousin Sukh (A week later at the Harem) MacCousin nudged Nikita76 in the hallway. "I've got it," she whispered. Nikita grinned and they both headed toward the bedroom. Sukh glanced away from the big-screen TV. The room was dark except for the light from the TV screen. Nunkies' voice floated through the room like the Nag Champa incense. "You almost missed it," whispered MacCousin. "TOG took Nunkies' tasty treat." "Yeah it's finger-licking good," giggled Sukh. She whipped out an extra drool cup for Nikita. The threesome sat down and began to drool, as the buzzcut love monkey appeared on screen. The window across from the three women shattered. They squealed. A bunch of masked strangers repelled into the bedroom. They grabbed the struggling women. Michael slid into the room and faced the renegade harem members. He walked to the VCR and removed the tape. He turned back to the three women and stared at them, without emotion. Michael held up the tape and examined it. "Operations would like to speak to you." He said. A little twitch of a smile flickered across his face momentarily. "D'oh," murmured MacCousin and Sukh. "This is all your fault!" squealed Nikita. Michael watched as his harem members were led away. He looked into the shadows. LaCroix emerged from the darkness, chortling quietly. Michael nodded and then followed his team out. Nunkies merged with the shadows once again. ~~~~ (The White Room within the Harem) The three women woke up to find themselves strapped in chairs. "I knew I shouldn't have listened to you two," grumbled Nikita. "Nunkies will protect us," Sukh assured her. "Nunkies…doesn't know who I am!" replied Nikita. The door opened, Michael walked in, his hands behind his back. He stared at the three women. They began to squirm. Michael sighed. "I don't take well to divided loyalties within my harem," he began. "Oh maaan," squeaked Sukh. The other two women continued staring at Michael in silence. "Whose idea was it to watch the tape in my room, in *my harem*? Sukh and MacCousin looked at each other. "Déjà vu," said Sukh quietly and MacCousin nodded her head slightly. Michael stared down the two addicts who twitched slightly and then continued. "I don't know what LaCroix does to you when you disobey him in his shrine, but the penalties in my harem are quite severe." "His eyes are green," whispered Sukh. "They're blue," insisted MacCousin. "Green!" "Shut up!" said Nikita. "Blue," said MacCousin. Michael watched the ensuing argument between Sukh and MacCousin as though they were bugs he could easily squish out of existence. "Enough," he said. The harem members looked at him again. "My eye color is not important." "Yes it is!" exhorted MacCousin and Sukh. "Who is asking questions here?" Michael looked at Nikita. "And you're not even an addict." "Well, not officially," MacCousin murmured. Michael pulled out the tape and turned to MacCousin and Sukh. "Where did you get it?" he asked. "We taped it off our TV," squeaked the two women. "And why did you bring it here?" He included Nikita in his glare. The threesome began to make inarticulate sounds. "I see. So there is no good reason for you to be watching that vampire in my harem." The threesome looked at each other. "No sir," they squeaked. "Well then there's no reason to keep you three." Michael pulled a gun out and aimed it at Nikita. MacCousin and Nikita froze. "Oh, maan," said Sukh. "It's not like we had Nunkies there." Michael turned and aimed at her. "If you ever wish to dance with me again, you'll be quiet." He faced Nikita again. "And if you still want to be my Guardian Angel, you won't say a word either." He turned to MacCousin, gun in hand. "And where are my sunglasses." "I dunno," murmured MacCousin nervously. "I uhm…lost track of them while we were watching Nunkies." "You should be the first to go then." Michael pointed the gun at MacCousin. "She did it!" said the MacCousin, pointing at Sukh. "She brought the tape." Michael pulled the trigger. Everyone screamed. There was a small pop from the gun and a flag with the word 'bang' came out. Michael's eyes told of amusement, but his face was still calm and detached. "You will not watch that other show in my presence again, consider this your warning." "Yes sir," the three women squeaked. Michael turned and left the room. The restraints on the chairs clicked open. Sukh, Nikita and MacCousin stumbled out. "Did you see his butt?" sighed Sukh. The other two women swooned in response. Sukh turned to MacCousin. "And his eyes were green!" "Blue!" "Green!" "Would you two shut up?" growled Nikita. "He smiled at us," chortled MacCousin. "And showed an emotion!" Nikita added. "I didn't want to see annoyed," Sukh said. "But he was sooo cute," they all agreed. Then they all stared at each other as they walked out of the white room. "Hey! We're in the harem," noted Nikita. "Kewl!" The MacCousin was impressed. "We'll have to remember this." Her thoughts were interrupted by an inarticulate noise from Sukh. "Awwww, man," said Sukh, her disappointment showing. "He kept the tape." ~~~~ (Michael's office) Michael sat down at his desk and dialed CERK. (CERK) LaCroix picked up the phone. "It's done," Michael said into the receiver. "It went as planned." (Michael's Office) Michael hung up the phone and smiled his small 'I have a harem' smile. ~~~~ Hope ya'll enjoyed this bit of silliness!
