The sun was going down as the Jeep pulled up to the large, plain-looking building, backing up slowly to one of the large roll-up doors as it opened.  Once it was fully inside, Faye turned off the engine and she and Delilah exited, walking around to the back of the vehicle just as a well-built, slightly balding man wearing jeans and a plain green t-shirt arrived to greet them.

"Well, let's see what you've brought me," he spoke coldly.  Faye carefully lifted the hatch to reveal the pile of sleeping cheerleaders. "Nice.  Let's get them out and up so I can get a better look."

Faye reached down and carefully lifted Katie out of the back.  Behind the man four chains with hooks hung down from the ceiling; Faye slipped one of the hooks down Katie's shoulder blades, between Katie's bound wrists and adjusted the chain so that it was taut and held the sleeping blonde in place.  Once Katie was secured, Faye and Delilah together lifted Ary out next and secured her to hook and chain #2.  Emma was next to come out; the women were careful to handle them in a way so that they wouldn't wake up.  The three cheerleaders were all lined up neatly in a row as they reached into the vehicle for Denise.

"That one's missing a skirt," the man pointed out.

"Oh, it's in the back seat.  I'll get it here in a second," Delilah muttered as they got Denise positioned on the last hook.  Once done, Delilah reached over on the back seat and retrieved Denise's skirt, putting it back on the sleeping head cheerleader.

The man was walking back and forth between the four, looking them over.  "Well, you got lucky this time. I don't see any signs of damage on any of them.  How much?"

"Seventy-five thousand."

The man chuckled.  "Faye, I have never paid you more than twenty for one.  And there's only one here I would pay that much for.  I'll give you forty K for the set."

"Sixty.  They are all in good shape as you said, and you yourself said you were low on brunettes right now."

The man sighed.  "Fifty, and not a penny more."

Faye smiled.  "Deal, on one condition."  She walked behind Denise.  "When you're done checking them in, save the uniform on this one for Delilah. I think she really wants it!"

The man nodded and pulled a pile of bills from his pocket, handing it to Faye.  "Good work as always, ladies. I can always count on you to bring me quality merchandise."

"Thanks!" they answered in unison before climbing back into the SUV and driving away.  Once they were gone, the man looked down at the four still-sleeping cheerleaders in front of him.

"Eeny, meeny, miney, moe...let's start with you, blondie."  And he reached behind Katie, unhooking the chain, and then sliding her body over his shoulder just as she was starting to stir.  He carried her out of the room they were in, down a corridor to another room, turning off the lights and locking the door before he left.
