Synopsis: three friends have come up with a perfect plan to gather some money, but they will count with some unexpected yet useful help.
"I think that should work" Brenda Hastling told her friend Nicole Armstrong as she finished binding her hands behind the chair she was sitting on.
Next to her, Nicole's colleague, Aubrey Rose, sat in a similar position. Her hands and her feet bound with rope.
It wasn't a robbery what was going on though. Both Nicole and Aubrey had planned a scam. They would pretend the office had been broken in by a burglar and had threatened them in order to get the safe's combination. After so much torture, they'd have given it up, and the burglar would have left them bound to their luck.
That was what they needed Brenda for. She would bind them and take the money and valuables kept in the safe. When they were set free, they would split the loot.
"Okay, this feels fine" said Nicole. "Now, you just have to gag us".
"I still don't know how you talked me into this" Brenda protested.
"Oh, come on, you'll get a nice piece of the cake. Besides, you're not doing the hard part, precisely" Aubrey said.
"Yes. You're not going to spend several hours bound and gagged. So just take those scarves, gag us, make sure you have everything, and go".
"Okay, okay".
Nicole was a brown-haired woman in her early thirties, with blue eyes and a pair of executive glasses. She was hot, as much as her colleague, Aubrey. She had green eyes and a red long mane coming down her shoulders. She was wearing a short floral dress with sandals, while Nicole was dressing in a more casual yet executive way; a pair of jeans, a white short shirt and a pair of black shoes.
Brenda did as she was told and made sure everything was going as it should. She grabbed two scarves and used them to gag her friends.
"Finephh. Now gopfff" Nicole said.
Brenda obeyed and left the office, leaving Nicole and Aubrey tied up and gagged next to the office's safe.
Minutes after Brenda's departure, Nicole started squirming in her chair. The ropes around her wrists and ankles began to loosen, and she realized the knots weren't as tight as they had seemed.
Her eyes grew wide with fury. She had been duped. The ropes weren't supposed to be so loose that she could escape easily. Nicole worked the scarf in her mouth with a grunt of indignation, feeling the anger build up inside her.
With a furious tug, she managed to loosen the knot around her wrists. The sudden movement made the chair wobble and she almost fell over. After a couple of minutes of squirming, Nicole was free from the ropes. She takes her gag off, before Audrey's disappointed look.
"Fucking Brenda! I knew we shouldn't have trusted her to do this. This is a mess!! I wasn't supposed to escape so easily!!" Nicole protested as she undid Aubrey's gag.
"I know! Now what can we do? We were supposed to be together in the office. I can't be the only one to be found bound".
"I could try and tie myself up, but I don't think that would work".
Just as they were contemplating their next move, the office door swung open and a shadowy figure entered the room. The lights flickered and a woman dressed in black with a ski mask emerged from the darkness.
"Oh my god!" Aubrey exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.
Nicole, on the other hand, took a deep breath and quickly assessed the situation.
"Look," she began, speaking in a calm tone despite the fury that still simmered within her, "this is actually perfect. We need this to look real. You," she said, pointing at the masked figure, "can you tie me up properly?"
The burglar paused, a hint of confusion in her stance.
"What's going on here?" she asked, her voice muffled by the mask.
"Well there's no time for explanations. Tie me up as my colleague here, gag us, take everything you want and leave".
The burglar studied them for a moment, then a smirk appeared under her mask.
"You're serious?"
"As a heart attack," Nicode replied, her voice steady despite the racing thoughts in her head. "This is an opportunity. You can take the money, laptops everything valuable here, and we'll have a real crime scene to back up our story."
"Okay, so, as it seems here, what you two have going on here is kind of an insurance scam, am I right?"
The looks on the office girls ratified the burglar's words.
"I'll take that as a yes. So, I'm sorry to tell you that if your bosses find you like that" she pointed at Aubrey "in the morning, you'll probably end up in jail".
Both women sighed, scared.
"Why is that?" asked Aubrey.
"Well look at how loosely you are tied. You even managed to free yourself too soon. Not a crook would allow that to happen. Not to speak about your gags. You can speak through them and be understood! Come on!..."
Both women shared concerning looks.
"So... would you help us?" Nicole asked innocently.
"I don't know. What do I get in exchange? I've got the feeling the safe is not empty anymore, am I right?"
"Well..." Aubrey blushed "but there's plenty of office materials. Laptops, screens... you'd make a little fortune out of it".
The burglar seemed to think about it. Then, her eyes narrowed as she said.
"Okay, I'll help you. Just be grateful I brought my own rope. I couldn't have done it with just those clumsy pieces".
"Oh, great!!! Thank you so much!!" Nicole cheered.
"Now if you please, sit down and put your hands behind your back" the robber said politely.
Nicole complied and sat on the chair, getting ready to learn the ropes.
However, instead of tying her wrists together, the burglar unpeeled one of the rolls of tape and forced her fists closed.
"What is that for?"
"Well, it's just for security. This way, you won't be able to undo the knots that will bind you".
"Oh, that makes sense!" Aubrey observed.
When Nicole's hands were completely covered in tape, the burglar took a piece of rope and began her job.
"To tie someone properly, you should do it like this. Fold the rope in the middle and surround your victim's wrists with it. Then put the two edges through the hole in the middle and wrap it up tightly enough, until there's no much more rope so you just have to tie it like this".
Both women listened carefully to the villain's instructions. Nicole tested her new bindings.
"Wow this is more like it. Feels tight enough to not raise any suspicions".
"Well I've just began".
The masked intruder then repeated the process with the brown haired's elbows, which caught her by surprise.
"What's that?"
"Realism. That's what it is. A real robber, like me, wouldn't want you to wriggle your arms freely, since that, eventually, could make your wrists bindings to loosen up".
"Oh, I see".
She then moved on to her feet, and began with taking off her shoes.
"Barefeet is a symptom of helplessness".
She also took off Nicole's socks and kept adding ropes to her body.
Soon, ankles, calves, below and above her knees and thighs were securely bound together.
"How does that feel?"
"Well, nothing like what Kendra did, that's for sure. I'd never escape this!!"
"Well, that's the idea, isn't it?"
"Yes... I guess" Nicole worringly agreed, beginning to regret her desire for this to look so real.
"Now, I've only tied you up, but you're not tied to the chair. Let's fix that".
With expert ease, the burglar connected Nicole's bound ankles to her wrists, behind the seat of the chair.
Next, she added several pieces to connect the brown haired's body to the furniture. She bound her waist to the back of the chair and her thighs to the seat.
"Wow, I feel... pretty secured, hehe".
"That seems amazing. Can you do it to me?" Aubrey asked, a little too eager to try it, Nicole thought.
"Sure!!"
In a matter of minutes, Aubrey was bound as tightly as Nicole, and experienced in first hand the tightness of the bonds of a professional rigger.
"Okay, this feels nice. Well, it doesn't, but at least it seems real" Nicole said as she squirmed a bit against her bindings. "Now, shouldn't you gag us?"
"I thought you'd never ask. Okay, for a gag to work properly it's essential for a stuffing to exist".
"Stuffing?" asked Nicole.
"Yes, something inside your mouth to make your cheeks to bulge and make you unable to utter a word" she then snapped her fingers. "And I know just the thing!"
She then grabbed Nicole's socks, that were still on the floor, and approached her owner's mouth.
"Wait. No, that's gross!!"
"Well I think you're right. But I don't really care actually. On the other hand, I think your socks would fit much better in your friend's mouth, hihi".
"Wait, no!!!" Aubrey protested.
It was to no use, since the socks had already fit inside her mouth.
The burglar kept her hand over the redhead's mouth, as she took the roll of duct tape.
"Next, you have to make sure your victim can not spit the stuffing out, so I'd go for a multilayered gag".
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Nicole asked, anger in her look.
"To be fair, you were the ones who asked me to do it".
She then cut several pieces of silver duct tape and covered the lower part of Aubrey's face, from nose to chin.
Not happy with that, she then grabbed a roll of microfoam tape she had brought with her and wrapped it around her head, ignoring her protests.
"Now, when one would think I'm finished, I like to add a personal touch".
The masked crook then grabbed one of the scarves that formed the original gags and put it over Aubrey's mouth and nose, covering her wrap gag and tying it behind her neck.
"Are you ready for your turn?" she asked Nicole.
"Too bad you don't have anything to stuff in my mouth" she said teasingly, as she looked at her friend's bare feet, that previously were wearing sandals.
"Who said that?" the robber mocked back.
She then took a pair of scissors and pulled Aubrey's dress up a bit. Next, she cut her panties, before Nicole's stunning look and Aubrey's muffled screams.
"No fucking way. Get away from mphhhhhhh!!"
"Well I'd love to, but I won't hahahaha".
With ease, she repeated the gag she ha applied on Aubrey, covering her face from over her nose to under her chin.
"Well don't you two look cute!! And helpless, like, for real. Now, let's get some work done".
"Mphhggg" both women grunted in a mixture of anger and anticipation.
However, little by little, while the robber took as many laptops and screens as her bag could carry, they began to get used to their predicament.
They squirmed to realize there wouldn't be an easy way out, and happily to see their plan had been saved.
The burglar looked at her captives with the loot she has gathered.
"Well, I must leave you know. Glad to have achieved such a profitable job. Wish I always had such cooperative victims".
"Mphhhhhh" Aubrey and Nicole grunted and rolled their eyes.
"But I've got a little something for you before going. I'll be right back!"
She then left the office before the doubtful look of the two women.
She came back barely two minutes after. She was alone though. She was carrying something on her shoulder. Or better... someone.
Another woman lied over the burglar shoulder in a similar state than them. Her whole body was covered in ropes, her hands connected to her ankles and with a huge tape gag wrapped around her mouth, with a scarf covering it all.
"This must be Brenda, right?"
“MPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Aubrey and Nicole yelled in fear, followed by Brenda’s own screams.
“Oh, I found her right at the door. She was so in shock that it was very easy to overpower her and get her like that. When I saw what she had in her bag… well… it was kind of a turn on for me, hehe”.
“MPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
“Well, even though I’d love to stay and play with you guys, I’ve got the feeling I should disappear before dawn, so… well, you’ve got some nice eight hours or so before someone finds you. I hope you come up with a good explanation for… this. Hihihi. Oh, and you don’t need to thank me to make your plan more realistic, it was my pleasure!”
“MPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” all the poor girls could do was trying to yell for help with no result, and see how the burglar left the place, shutting the door behind her and taking with her not only a huge amount of expensive office material, but also at least 100,000 in cash.
