Wendy Hammond H.O.T. Agent - Second Front

Wendy Hammond (H.O.T. Agent) found herself in Haiphong with its French Colonial architecture, leafy boulevards, Du Hang Pagoda and other wonderful sights all of which she was not sent there to enjoy, her trip took her to Salon Jade Asia and its owner, Tu Loan. Wendy had established herself as a regular customer and made several nocturnal visits to the establishment looking for Intel on the woman and her company. Things were slowly coming together, but today she was there to get her hair done.  

        

The Salon was a redone colonial building, keeping the façade, but making the interior very modern and hip as it catered to the upscale consumer. Wendy entered through a sliding door leaving the heat, humidity and bustle of the city for quite calm serenity.

‘Very nice to see you again Miss Hammond,’ the receptionist smiled and picked up the phone. ‘Your stylist is on her way. If you need anything, of just ask us,’ she added as the stylist arrived. ‘Good morning Giang Thi,’ Wendy smiled. She had used the young woman several times before and found her excellent.  They walked to her station, each area separated from the others and an oasis of calm where client and stylist could be alone.

They started with a was, the water warm and relaxing. Giang gently massaged Wendy’s hair with the shampoo, her hands wonderful and caressing as she worked in the shampoo then rinsed and patted dry.

‘What shall we do today Miss Hammond?’ Giang asked.

‘I’d like to try a slightly lighter contrast in the hi-lights with perhaps a touch less curl,’ Wendy expressed and Giang went right to work combing her hair. She did a little trim to clean up some loose ends then showed Wendy a hi-light chart so they could confirm the colour. That done Giang heated the tubes in a hot water pot as she selected the rollers she wanted.

‘This is going to look wonderful Miss Hammond. There, that’s the last of the rollers in place. We just have to let the hi-lighter bond and the rollers to work their magic. I will set the timer for half an hour and come back and check them, I think that will be sufficient time,’ Giang smiled and left Wendy flipping a magazine.

The timer went off and Giang was back promptly, taking the magazine from Wendy’s hands.

‘Now to unravel and work my magic, please remain still Miss Hammond,’ she smiled then kissed the spy’s cheek. ‘Excellent I see my special rollers have left you speechless and motionless. The hi-light cream contains the paralysing drug, the rollers are the instrument of administration.  Winding them into place tightens the spring mechanism inside them. Then slowly the spring unwinds pushing the specially designed tines outward where they lightly penetrate the skin and let the drug enter, the victim never feels a thing of course until its too late and then you feel nothing, just as you do now Miss Hammond,’ Giang explained in delight. ‘But first let’s make you beautiful, I want you to look your best for what awaits you,’ she added and began Wendy’s transformation, all the frozen agent could do was speculate on the fate that awaited her.

‘There, as good as work, in so many ways, as I’ve ever done,’ Giang added then gave Wendy a soft kiss on the cheek before pushing a concealed button under her workstation.

The curtain parted and in slipped Tu Loan, the owner, slim and sexy.

‘Excellent work Giang, you prove once again why you’re my best spylist. And how are you Miss Hammond, looking lovely I see, but of course, my salon has an impeccable reputation as do I. I hate to lose such a good customer as you, but well, that is the nature of the game, but to show there are no hard feelings I’m going to treat you to a certain specialty of mine, an herbal heat wrap in my private studio where we can relax and talk, you know spy gal chat,’ she smiled and snapped her fingers. Two other girls appeared with a wheeled stretcher, Wendy was loaded on, covered from the neck down in a blanket and wheeled away to Tu Loan’s private studio. Sweet scents, tropical ferns, soft lights and music greeting Wendy’s senses as she was wheeled in.

‘There, alone at last. Now to remove your clothes so that we can begin,’ Tu smiled picking up a pair of medium sized tweezers.

‘You can never be too careful with H.O.T. Agents, you never know what tricks are up their sleeves or in this case, earrings,’ she said removing the backing from Wendy’s and pulling them free. Tu proceeded to her shoes and just as carefully removed those placing them on a tray on a nearby table joining the earrings. ‘I’ll send them for analysis after we’re through ,along with your purse and its contains, the Intel from them along with what I get from you should be most illuminating’ she added picking up pair of scissors and cutting open the spy’s top then just as carefully removing and discarding it.

‘As impressive as I knew they would be. H.O.T. certainly can pick its talent. Now just a small roll and we are done Miss Hammond,’ she added, gently rolling Wendy on her side, inserting the tweezer into the zipper and pulling it down. She rolled Wendy back and discarded the skirt.  It seems such a pity to cover you up again, but one must make certain sacrifices in this profession,’ she explained reaching for a roll of gauze bandages.

‘This will ensure maximum heat absorption and of course maximum immobilization,’ Tu purred as she began mummifying Wendy who was helpless to resist.

‘Slowly Miss Hammond, I want to ensure you experience the process to the fullest, its vital that all of you be covered the tops of your shoulders to the bottom of your lovely feet and everything in between, Tu explained as she spun her gauzy web about the spy.

‘There that was fast and painless, now one final shroud about your entire form and we can begin your treatment, this just needs to be tucked under to ensure a complete bind, there comfy Miss Hammond,’ Tu smiled menacingly. ‘Now I need to make myself comfortable as well,’ she added slipping off her heels, then reaching behind and unzipping her dress that she let fall revealing her impressive body to Wendy whose eyes scanned her.

‘I see I meet with your approval, that will help make things easier later I think,’ she added as she slipped on a white shirt hanging on the wall then reclining on the lounger as she looked at Wendy.

‘Down to business Miss Hammond, inside the towel steamer your fate awaits you. Hot wet towels mixed with a special concoction of mine, a sort of truth serum and tongue loosener all in one. Its partially how I built my empire, rich married woman under its spell tell all kinds of secrets, business deals and other things that I used to my advantage and now of course to our organizations advantage. 

You, however, being a special case will get extra attention,’ she explained slinking off the lounger, taking a wet steaming towel and swathing Wendy in it.

‘This is only the first of many such overlays, each one seeps more of my drug into you. It’s a mild potion, but’s that’s all it needs to be, the heat from the towels mixed with the drug will make you more than co-operative as I slowly steam you open, you will talk Miss Hammond and since I know you will resist, all you H.O.T. women are the same, you will have the added bonus of my own person neck and temple massage, a rather devious manipulator,’ Tu hissed lowering her head and giving Wendy a small kiss on the lips.

She added a second and then a third steaming towel as Wendy began to surface from the paralysing hair gel.

‘Ah, there you are at last Miss Hammond, yes please do struggle, as impossible as escape is it helps speed the drug through your body.  You don’t seem to be in much discomfort, not yet, although you are beginning to perspire. let’s increase that.’ Tu smiled as she got another towel and draped Wendy.

The spy could not move, the wet hot towels gluing her flat to the table as Tu wrapped them around her cocooning her in sweltering embrace. She could feel her breathing getting shallower as the weight pressed down on her.

‘Another towel Miss Hammond, I admire your resolve, pointless as it is, you will talk sooner or later,’ Tu Loan smiled as she tucked in the towel tight about the spy’s body as she gasped. Tu trailed a fingernail up the contours of Wendy’s body, the clinging towels outlining it perfectly. Pity about all that work done on your hair, ruined, now its just a tangled mass of dripping water and you steamed open ready to talk. My drug has had long enough to work just one final step and we can begin,’ she added.

This will ensure your torment and co-operation Miss Hammond.

Wendy was slipped into a thermal blanket, her body heating instantly up. Tu smiled, the spy was helpless and trapped and soon would be talking. Tu bent over and delivered a soft kiss to Wendy, then moved behind her head and placed her fingers on Wendy’s neck while her thumbs caressed the spy’s temples. Tu leaned in close as she worked.

‘Now Miss Hammond tell me what I want to know. The location of your HQ for starters.’

The fevered agent refused even as she baked inside the blanket, but Tu was patient, she knew the spy would give in to the heat and the massage.

‘Don’t make me wrap another towel around you Miss Hammond, come, answer the question.’ Tu softly administered her massage while whispering questions to her victim. Wendy could barely breath, her body was unless to her and Tu’s skillful manipulations were working.  Tu worked her nails into certain points deadening Wendy’s motion. Unsure of where she was the H.OT. agent began to talk, Tu deepened her touch further and Wendy responded.

Two hours later Tu had all see could want from the spy. She released her fingers, gave Wendy a soft kiss and watched her open her eyes.

‘Most instructive Miss Hammond,’ she smiled. ‘You gave me all I want and more so now its time for us to part. One final towel cocooned about your body will finish you.  Oh if you’re thinking of escape, this towel is coated in a special adhesive, once placed around you it will bond to the thermal blanket and seal your fate in a steaming embrace.’

Tu pulled the towel tightly about Wendy gave the agent a final kiss and stepped back to admire her handiwork as Wendy lay still her chest barely moving, her head and neck hot and burnished. She grabbed her dress and heals and prepared to leave stopping to touch her neck before falling over.

Wendy woke up in a moving car, cool air blasting in her face from the A/C.

‘Welcome back sleepyhead, that was a close one, lucky for you H.O.T. thought you needed help and send me. Also lucky for you I don’t believe in waiting for orders, so I trailed you. I thought your hair treatment was taking a little long.’

‘Tu Loan?’ Wendy asked groggily.

‘She’s dead, along with others, I don’t think Salon Jade Asia will be opening anytime soon, it’s a bit of a mess, but that’s for H.O.T. to deal with. Wrap that towel around you we’re coming to traffic and well you are a distraction.’

Wendy pulled the towel around her covering up her nude form.  She touched her head and tried to sit up but could not manage to move.

‘Have some water, it will help.’

Wendy took the offered bottle, it was cold and wonderful and went down greedily, she was passed another, that one she held against her cheek before taking a few gulps and gathering her thoughts.

‘Sorry you are?’ she managed.

‘Amanda Draper, I’m your new partner.’
