While filtering spam offers on her laptop, she notices a survey link that feels strangely purposeful, including questions about physical fitness and relationship status. The moment she submits, her webcam appears to capture her. A man overseas monitors the responses, validates her equipment, and prepares for the next controlled step.","SIX MASTERS ISLANDDE LUCIA’S SLAVES by Candace Smith  \nCopyright 2010 Candace Smith Published by Strict Publishing International  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPRELUDE  \nFallon tied a band around the end of her long black braid, while she stared at her laptop screen and waited for her e-mail to open. It had been along day at work, typing monotonous invoices from the never-ending pile the supervisor kept tossing in her basket. After a year at Harkson Industries proficiently typing the notices, her depressing future with the company seemed assured.  \nThe screen finally loaded its few offerings, and Fallon scanned the promise of incredible insurance rates for the car the sender presumed she owned, and the other message for a bogus exciting employment opportunity. She checked the boxes to delete them, and stopped with her finger hovering over the mouse just before she clicked them into nonexistence. The second one actually looked a little interesting, and she decided to follow the link for more information.  \n‘Looking for extraordinary employees between the ages of eighteen and twenty five to begin an exciting career as a personal assistant to professionals. Must have versatile skills and the ability to travel, with generous salary dependent on qualifications. Please click link below to fill out short survey.’  \nFallon looked around her apartment, as if she expected Shelly to waltz in and catch her. Her landlord had a habit of unlocking the door that led from the efficiency she had squeezed into her single car garage and the main house. Even when Fallon had casually suggested a dead bolt on the door, Shelly vehemently shook her head and announced that a blocked off exit from the house would be a fire hazard. Fallon could lock the door from inside the garage, but Shelly hung the key beside the knob on her side and used it as if she were merely turning the handle in welcome.  \nAfter she had graduated high school last year, Fallon’s intentions had been to leave the small town. She figured she could save her money by living at home, and then move closer to the city. With six younger siblings, her parents had other ideas and they had celebrated Fallon’s first day of work by presenting her with a key to the apartment.  \n“I got Shelly to wave the deposit, and I paid her the first two weeks’rent,” her father announced proudly. “All the utilities are included, and  \nthere’s a separate entrance so you have privacy.”  \nFallon was stunned. “Dad, I thought I could just stay here until I saved up enough for a car, and then I wanted to move closer to Ellenton. The opportunities are much better there, and they have a junior college.”  \n“Nonsense, you got hired on by Harkson, sweetie, and you won’t do much better than that in the city,” her mother smiled.  \nHarkson was the biggest… heck, other than a few small businesses, Harkson was the only… opportunity available. It seemed half her highschool class was working there and the cafeteria was filled with the same faces she had seen growing up in Lewisville.  \nAfter a year in the anonymous secretarial pool at Harkson Industries, Fallon could see there was no chance for advancement. She would end up like June Mosley, stuck in the same administration room for the entire thirty years she had been loyally working for the company. The rent on the garage apartment was just high enough to keep her from being able to save any meaningful amount, and her passbook showed a balance of fewer than seven hundred dollars.  \nFallon looked at the computer again. “What the hell,” she muttered, and clicked the key to fill out the survey. She decided the worst that could happen amounted to being turned down for lack of experience. The questions were, for the most part, skill related and generic, with a few strange items thrown in such as if she was physically fit or in a relationship. Around the seventh question, Fallon had the eerie sensation the eye on the webcam on her laptop had snapped a picture of her.
