Lucy and Jo had both done very well at the company they worked for. Thanks to the company policy, both of them had now both been promoted twice. They had now moved from their small two bedroomed flat into a house with three bedrooms and a study. Life was looking good.
Although the girls had done well personally, the company had not. The business was down, profits were down and redundancies were happening. People seemed to be leaving left right and centre.
Jo and Lucy both saw this was happening and were getting worried. Jo had a plan though.
"Do you remember when we were canned?" said Jo.
"Remember," said Lucy. "How can I forget? The marks, welts, being unable to sit down properly and the pain goes. But the memory, well, that stays for a long time."
"Correct," said Jo. "So I have come up with this plan. What say we open our own caning and role-play business, seeing as things are not going so well at work? We can start by doing it only at weekends to supplement our income. What do you think?"
"JOANNE!" said a visibly shocked Lucy, "how can you even think such a thing?"
"Oh, come on, said Jo, don't be such a prude." "Don't tell me you weren't thinking something along those lines as well?"
"What about all the equipment and things we will need though?" asked Lucy still not convinced.
"I have thought of that as well," said Jo. "We would have to go and buy most of the things, like a spanking bench, different canes, different outfits, for like when someone has committed on offence and needs to get punished for it. It won't cost much. Then to start with, we have got premises here as well. We could use our spare room as a reception/waiting room and the study as our caning chamber."
"How would people know about our little business?" Lucy asked.
"Through things like adult magazines, adult publications, that sort of thing. We could just put an advert saying what we do," said Jo.
"I see you have thought this through," said Lucy. "One other thing, though, we don't know how to cane properly."
"I have thought of that as well," said Lucy. "We could get officer Dixon and officer Seaman to give us advice."
"WOW, you have thought a lot about this," said Lucy. "What say we go down to the police station and ask for them, and just hope they are still at that one, and not been transferred somewhere. You had better do most of the talking though, I mean that is why you are in sales and I am in admin."
So the girls went down to the local police station, which was big as it covered the whole of a very large area.
At the front desk, Jo asked, "can we speak to Officer Seaman or Officer Dixon please?"
"We don't have anybody employed here by that name, but we do have Sergeant Dixon and Sergeant Seaman." the desk officer told them. "I can put a call through for one of them to come down if you like?"
"Please do," said Jo as politely as possible.
As it happened, Sergeant Seaman came down to the front desk.
That is him, thought Jo. I would recognise him even after two years, I hope he recognises us though.
"Yes, what is it now? You know I am busy," he said to the desk officer when he arrived.
"These two ladies would like to speak to you," he was told by the desk officer.
"I don't know if you remember us," said Jo. "But we would like to speak to you and Sergeant Dixon. It is some advice we would like."
"Yes, I do remember you but I am very busy at the moment. Could we meet for a drink when we both come off shift at 7 pm?"
"That is fine with us. How does Maggie's bar at 7-30 pm sound?"
"That's fine," said Sergeant Seaman. "I will tell Sergeant Dixon."
"That was easily sorted," said Jo to Lucy, "and you never know who is out there who might want our services; man, woman, married, single, divorced, people who can't get what they want at home. I can feel that cane in my hand now, it is a lovely thought."
Then 7.30 pm came. They all met at the bar. After drinks had been ordered they got down to business.
"First off, what can we call you outside of the police station?" asked Jo
"I am Dave and this is my mate James," said Sergeant Seaman
"I was hoping you would remember us. After all, it has been two years since we were caned," said Jo.
"We remember you. I think you got the judge on a bad day. I was surprised you even went to court but even then I expected you to get a slap on the wrist like a fine or something like that, but never caned," said Dave.
Lucy explained how things were going at work. How they wanted to make sure that they had an income if the company closed or they were made redundant. That they wanted to start up their own caning and role play agency if things went bad for them.
"What we want to know is, said Jo is how to cane properly. Will you show us?"
"Of course we will," said Dave, "and since we both got promoted we now cane as well as being witnesses."
"Oh, that is great," said Jo. "When can you show us?"
"No time like the present," said James. "Let's go back to your place and we can demonstrate to you. One thing, have you girls got canes?"
"We only have one at the moment but plan to get different ones for when we open our business," said Jo.
So they all went to the girls' house and got down to business. Both girls were getting wet already, the thought of having two policemen in their house.
"Right, how would you cane?" asked Dave.
"Like this," said Jo and lifted the cane to about shoulder height and bought it down at a steady pace.
"I see," said Dave. "Let me demonstrate how it should be done. Have you got a pillow or something like that that I can demonstrate on?" he asked.
"Not really," said Lucy.
"Never mind let me show you anyway. You bring the cane up as high as you can, then bring it down fast and forcefully removing it quickly when it hits the person," he then demonstrated for the girls.
"I see," said Jo. "Can I try but as I don't have a pillow can I have a practice swing on you?" she asked hopefully.
"Sure," said Dave and bent over the table.
Jo did exactly as Dave had demonstrated while Lucy watched his face. She saw that Jo was doing everything right by the pain on Dave's face. Then Lucy had a practice on James, while Jo watched his face, the reaction was the same. The girls had the knack of caning already.
"So we learnt quickly then," said Jo. "We would love to see the lovely marks we left on you both," she joked.
"Why not?" said Dave and they both pulled their trousers down, to reveal red lines which were quickly turning blue.
"Ouch," said Jo. "I think you had better let me put some cream on that nasty mark and rub it better. Come into my room," she said to Dave, "and I will be nurse Jo," she laughed.
