Laboratory, The - Part 1.

My heart was racing. They were close. I could hear their footsteps echo off the buildings as they crept through the alley. The silence of the night was broken by a voice…

“C’mon out! We won’t hurt you! We promise!” Fox called out.

Her voice was sweet… Luring like the song of a Siren. It angered me.

I wouldn’t go back. I didn’t want to go back. I was not their pet. All those years of being just another statistic; a test subject for their little “games” as they like to call it. And yet I enjoyed it… I enjoyed the thrill of the chase and they knew it..

“Baby, please come out! We just want to make sure you’re safe!”

From where I was positioned, I could see all four of them. Angel and Rylee were in the alley to the right of me, while Fox and Jess came down the alley directly in front of me. They met in a vacant lot in the center of the four buildings. All the exits were blocked, and with no way to get up to the roof, I had only three options. I could reveal myself and surrender, I could remain hidden behind the ductwork and let them find me, or I could make a run for it. The odds of me making it past were slim to none, but it was better than the other two choices.

*CLANG*

A pipe must have fallen. I didn’t stop to analyze. All I knew was that it distracted the team long enough for me to slip past.

I took off down the alley, but the sound of me running alerted the group and they took off after me. We made our way through alleys and across streets. I was fast runner, but they were keeping pace. As I ran past several stores, I saw a group of bins ahead. I took the opportunity and toppled them as I ran past. It wasn’t the best solution, but it bought me enough time to duck into another alley and find cover behind a dumpster.

I heard them run past. I was out of breath and felt a bit high from all the excitement, but I managed to elude them. When I had allowed enough time to pass, I removed myself from my hiding spot and walked out to the curb. I looked toward the direction they were heading and felt the cool evening breeze flow over me, sending shivers down my spine.

Suddenly, I felt a pinch in my neck and I turned around to meet Rylee’s gaze through piercing emerald green eyes. Her bobbed auburn hair moved slightly in the wind.

“Thought you could escape us… huh?”

My vision started to get blurry. That’s when I noticed the syringe in her hand.

“Y… you.. bit-“

I was awakened by a blinding light. I felt the softness of a bed and the warmth of a blanket. I smelled… clean. Someone must have washed me while I was out. As I regained my vision, I slowly lifted my head to check my surroundings. I was in the laboratory again.

“Heh.. They didn’t use the restraints this time..” I chuckled to myself.

Fox walked in, followed by Rylee.

“I see you’re awake. You had a long night.” Fox said, “Rylee, remind me to reinforce the hinges on hall door seven, please. Oh, and to replace the all the vents with something a little more difficult to break out of.”

I glanced up at Fox. Her dark black hair was tied back in a ponytail. The blue streaks contrasted against her tan skin.

“You know, I’ve always liked your hair down, Fox. That ponytail really brings out the back of your face.”

What was I thinking? Back of your face? What kind of insult is that?!

“I see someone’s still a little delirious from the tranquilizers. It’s amazing! A boy of average size, and yet you need 1.5 times the amount..”

I hated when fox called me “boy” around the other girls.

“I’m going to be twenty-one soon, dammit..” I said. “The least you could do is consider me to be an adult.”

“Oh, I’ll consider it once you stop trying to escape. But don’t worry, we’ll celebrate with a drink and some post party `fun` for your birthday. In the meantime, Rylee, if you would please, move our `pet` back into his chamber.”

As Fox left, Rylee walked over to a storage locker and pulled two piles of what looked to be PVC. That was confirmed when it made the distinctive crinkle-thud noise as she tossed it on the table. I noticed a few plastic buckles in the mess.

“That’s new…” I said, eyeing the hunk of bright yellow/orange material.

“It’s a prototype containment suit Amber designed for you.” said Rylee.

She pulled out an air-hose and connected one end to the wall socket labeled “Hi-pressure air” and attached an inflation nozzle on the other end.

“How thoughtful of her.. Be sure to thank her for me. In fact, why don’t you just go out and thank her now! You know, while you have it fresh in your mind.”

“Looks like you’re getting some of your humor back. But I have to do this. Fox’s orders. Now, I’m going to remove the blankets and you just relax your body. I promise I won’t look, but I’m going to slip you into this suit and I apologize if I shift anything around in the process.”

“Wait… You mean I’m naked under here?”

It suddenly occurred to me that in was a bit chilly under the covers.

“Well, you had to be naked for your bath. But don’t worry, I have a pair of boxers for you right here.”

She lifted the blanket and carefully pulled the underwear up, trying her hardest not to look. Oddly enough, I was blushing more than she was, and I think she could tell because I noticed a small smile form across her face.

“There. Better?”

“Much, thank you.”

“Good. Now I’m going to place you in this suit. It’s in two pieces so I’ll put the legs on first, and then we can get the top on.”

She grabbed one of the pieces of PVC and put it at my feet. She slowly worked the bottom half of the suit up my legs to my waist. I could feel some hard bumps on either thigh, and one on my lower back. She then grabbed the top half and as I lifted my arms, she placed the jacket over my body. It looked like a lifejacket with sleeves. She fastened the buckles from the top half to the buckles of the bottom half. Then she fastened the buckles around my chest.

“Why buckles?” I asked.

“In case we need to get you out in a hurry…”

I didn’t like the way she said that. I felt more of those hard bumps on my arms.

“Oh, I almost forgot!”

Rylee walked back over to the locker and pulled out a pair of PVC mittens.

“Amber took extra care in making these because we all know what happened the last time we left your hands uncovered…”

Honestly, I don’t see how they couldn’t have thought that I would be able to undo my restraints with my hands untied…

She slipped the mittens over my hands and I noticed an inflation nozzle on each wrist.

That would explain those hard bumps I felt.

“Okay, we’ve got you suited up, now it’s time to blow you up!”

She reached for the hose and plugged it into the right thigh nozzle. I heard a woosh of air and the PVC began to tighten around my leg. I watched as it slowly turned into what resembled a hotdog with slippers. She walked around the table and plugged the hose into the other leg. Once again, a woosh of air and I soon felt the tightness of the suit around my legs.

“Now, Amber didn’t put knees on this so you wouldn’t be able to run. Not that you would be able to run very well anyway… So as we move you, you’re going to have to shuffle your feet.”

She removed the hose and pushed in the nozzle.

“I’m going to inflate the mittens next.”

She placed the hose into the nozzle and the mitten quickly turned into a tiny ball.

After she was finished with the mittens, she moved onto to the arms; blowing up each one until they were nice and tight. I wondered why Amber bothered to put in elbows for the arms, but not knees for the legs.

Rylee placed the hose on the table and looked at me.

“The chest piece does not have a nozzle. Instead, Amber placed in a tube. This way, we can regulate the amount of pressure in the suit in case you start to get too excited. We’ll blow more air into the chest to give you a bigger `hug` in order to calm you down. I’m going to get you moving soon, but I need you to try to stand up first so I can inflate the final piece of the legs.”

I rolled over and pulled myself off the bed. Rylee grabbed the hose again and placed it into the back nozzle. I felt the pressure rise up around the crotch and my waist started to look like a pumpkin. It was like I was wearing a really tight diaper.

“Okay. We can leave now. But first-“

Rylee pulled my chest forward, pulled out the red tube and started blowing into it. I could feel it filling with every puff; her breath warming the suit as it slowly grew. She began rubbing the sides and pulled me in closer. More and more air flowed from her lips, filling me up. She stopped, licked her lips, and kissed me deeply. I’ve always had a crush on her…

“We’re going to have some fun today, my big puffy man.”
