The text from Angie was what first got me worrying.

Home late, not hungry, was all it said. 

Angelica was a motorcycle cop. I was used to her coming in late, given her shift hours tended to run long if there was some sort of crisis. But she almost always wanted dinner when she came home. It was part of my job to have it ready for her.

I should explain I guess. After we were married and my dad cut me off (not that I was crying too hard about that) we figured out between her salary and what my mother had left me, we could actually live pretty comfortably even without me holding a job. So to the neighbors I was her house husband. 

Between just Angie and me, I was her slave.

Ali, still flexing her paws in frustration at both the mystery of Zaker and the loss of an opportunity to pound her more thoroughly, headed back to her room to shower and dress for the day. Stepping out to dress after blowing dry her fur, she found one the servants, what was her name? Nari, that was it, busily fitting fresh sheets to the bed.

The room the pirates had placed her in was large, white and empty.

After her capture, Salli had been stunned and bound, waking up on the floor of a military skimmer surrounded by pirates. She’d reacted to this news by going into a full blown panic attack, after one of them had shown off her disconnected cybernetic eye to her. Eventually they’d tired of her screaming and crying and stunned her again. Then she’d woken up here, bound naked with plastic shipping ties to a metal folding chair, in the center of a large multipurpose room with a tiled floor that smelled of disuse, the bright florescent lights hanging from the bare ceiling hurting her remaining good eye.

“Do you know where you are, Lady Sallivera?” a voice asked.

( Unfortunately, she's about to find out )

Fair warning: This is a rough section, with discussions of topics that might be too close to home for some on my FL, even if the setting is a silly sci-fi universe.
