The Chemical Plant - Part 1 ©2000 Quest For Danger

Out of work for weeks, I decide to take a job in a chemical plant, it's dangerous and several ex cons work there but I need some income fast or I face eviction.

My first week goes well, getting along with the crew of 12 workers on my shift, they invite me out to the bar after our shift on Friday. Having a great time getting a bit tipsy I wind up meeting this guy and giving him my number and a little necking goes on before I leave. Over the weekend I get several hang-ups, paying it no never mind.

Monday arrives I go to work, 2 woman approach me and ask if I might stay late tonight for some easy overtime, I say yes in a second, thinking all day they are the shift leaders, but 2 ex-cons, they treated me well all week and overtime now......... I wind up forgetting about the possibilities.

At the end of the day shift we meet in the locker room taking a break before we begin our over time, I sip my bottle of water reading my book I overhear them in the next room talking of some hussy meddling on her goods, ever getting in they way she'd break her like a tooth pick, slowly watching her meet a dastardly demise, accidental of course. I cringe at the thought and think what a relentless monster she might be if I ever got in her way, thinking I'd better do exactly what she wants of me, but she must like me if I am the new person and she asked me to stay............. oh well..................

The two come in to the lounge and say "OK? READY TO SUIT UP?" I nod yes and begin. I stroll over to my gear locker and still a bit heated from my last shift I opted to slip off my bra and panties, making sure my superiors didn't see me. I then slid one leg in then the other wiggling the suit to my hips............ MMMMMMM I thought............. this feels wild, sliding my arms in and zippering up. I sit and slid my thick rubber boots on and strap them up getting them tight, then my gloves wiggling them up my arm, as I carry my helmet with me to the airlock.

Meeting the 2 ex-cons at the door, Sue and Rose, they smile "Ready?" I nod as one gives me a tank I secure on my back and hook to my helmet, sliding it over my head and stepping into the air lock. Now stepping into the chemical plant it self I hear a muffled hum of machines, walking slow to the center of the plant, as I hear Sue on my head phones................... "Kia, go to the waste bath and start mopping it down when I say clear move out of the bath and stand clear OK ?" I give her the thumbs up and go over to the bath, I climb in, it's an 8' deep tiled room 10'x10' square, I slowly climb down the ladder and begin coating the walls with a protective gel it's sticky and prevents the tiles from wear. The chemical waste is then dumped inside and poured into 50 gallon drums for proper disposal.

I work my way from the outer walls and floor to the inner towards the ladder, I back up more, and more, and a bit more................. I kick something............ THE BUCKET!!!!!!!!!! the protective gel washed over my boots and I am instantly stuck like a fly on fly paper. "SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!! can you guys hear me? I'm stuck in the tub HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" pulling on my legs frantically as I still call them on the radio........... DAM down here I am out of contact.................. I see the hopper move over and hear static over my head phone................. the funnel move over the tub and a black syrup ozzzzzzzzzzzes out of it it seeps toward me.................. slowly moving toward my feet.........................................
