"Mmmmmmmph!"

Kayla had been worse straits, but at the moment she was currently not doing so hot. She was bound and gagged on the floor of a Boeing 737. Trussed up in the back of the plane, Kayla was tied up in the flight attendants galley, the curtain pulled over the entrance hiding her inside.

"Fmmmmmph mmmmph!"

Dressed as a flight attendant herself, Kayla writhed on the dirty floor, her once pristine uniform now all wrinkled and dusty. Her hair, which was previously tied up in a bun, was spilling down into her face. She was quite unhappy with how things had turned out, and to think at one point they were going so well too! It was an airtight (no pun intended) plan that she had come up with, or, so she thought. Now here she was bound and gagged with her accomplice most likely joining her any time now. It was her first time going undercover, and what an ordeal it was turning out to be!

She decided that if she was able to get free, she'd just stick to straight forward reporting from here on out...

.   .   .   .   .

"There she is!"

Walking into the coffee shop, Kayla was met by the smiling face of a long time friend she hadn't seen in ages. Andrea jumped up from her seat as Kayla approached the table, giving her a big hug. Kayla was very happy to see her friend. She worked as a flight attendant so visits like these didn't come often.

Andrea was a few years older than Kayla, but didn't look it at all. She had a very youthful aura, and was always smiling and energetic. Her family came to Hazeldale from Mexico when Andrea was still very young. They worked hard to preserve their families cultural heritage and made sure Andrea grew up speaking both English and Spanish. As such, she had a slight Spanish accent to her voice, but Kayla noticed it slowly dwindling the older Andrea got. She was a very beautiful girl, with long brown hair that tumbled well past her shoulders and down to the middle of her back. Her smile was so contagious, as was her laughter. Kayla always looked forward to the times they got to spend together.

"How are you?" Kayla asked as she sat down.

"Great," said Andrea, "yeah, it's been a good year."

"How are you liking things so far?"

"Oh my god, they're fantastic! I'll tell you what, it's like being on vacation all the time.'

"Is it really?"

"I mean, you have to deal with some pretty shitty passengers from time to time, and the pay isn't the best, but I've been to...I think about 10 states now, so that's super fun!"

"Well I'm glad to hear you're liking it. From your photos it sure looks like you're having a great time."

"Yeah, and I mean it has its ups and downs, but overall I'd say it's the best decision I ever made."

"Wow, high praise. Had anyone offer to buy your pantyhose yet?"

"Oh my god! Yes! I never would have thought that's a thing, but it totally is."

"Well...don't be shy...have you sold any?"

Andrea laughed, "no, not yet, but maybe! Some gals sell theirs for hundreds of dollars...it's nuts."

"Wow, that's pretty good."

"I know right!"

"Well let me know if you're selling any. I'll be your first customer."

Andrea laughed again, "girl, stop! You kill me."

"Anyways," Kayla said hoping she wasn't shifting the conversation too quickly, "you said in your text you had something you wanted to ask me about. Something I might be able to help you with."

"Yes, okay, it's a little bit of a story, so just bear with me."

Kayla mentally buckled herself in, having no idea where Andrea was going with this but ready for it to go anywhere.

"So, I'm working with this crew the other day, and right away I can just kind of tell something's a little bit off. Usually when you meet your crew you like talk a bit and share stories and get to know each other. I mean, all of us up there in the sky are like family anyway, so when you get to work with new crew you try and hit things off right away. Okay, so, I'm working with these 3 girls and two of them are like super quiet. They don't really say much, at least to me and the other girl. I notice them talking a LOT by themselves though. I didn't really think anything of it at first, but then, when I was using the bathroom on the plane, I happened to catch a bit of their conversation they were having in the galley."

As Andrea recounted her story, Kayla was busy furiously typing this all up on her phone. Andrea talked quite fast, and so it was a struggle to keep up, but Kayla was doing her best.

"They were talking about some kind of shipment...I didn't hear what...but they were saying how there wasn't much time to get it moved once they landed, and that hopefully their contact at the airport would come through. They said that it was loaded into the plane no problem and that everything so far was moving smoothly and that all that was left was to get it to their contact and they'd finish the job. That was all I managed to pick up but...I don't know it sounded kinda shady. What do you think?"

Kayla finished getting everything into her notes and then set her phone down on the table.

"It definitely sounds shady," she said, "sounds like they're moving around something illegal at the very least."

"Yes! I knew it!"

Kayla smiled, "so, where do I come in with all of this."

"Well, I haven't caught them doing anything bad yet. I just overheard their conversation...so, I don't have any proof or anything. If they are doing shady things I'd like to turn them in! The only problem is I don't know how I'm supposed to catch them..."

"I'm guessing that's where you need my help, right?"

"Yeah, I was thinking maybe you could help me catch them red handed! I've read all your stories, and god, you're such a badass bitch! You've exposed some high level criminal activity!"

Kayla caught herself blushing ever so slightly. Even coming from a friend, compliments of such a nature were really flattering.

"Thanks," she said, "but I really don't know how I'm supposed to help out. Do I try and book a flight you're working or...?"

"So, I may have already worked out a plan."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, and if it's terrible please tell me, but I think it's pretty good if I do say so myself."

"Alright, well then let's hear it."

"Okay, so, just bear with me here because this might sound bad at first...but there's this other flight attendant who I've worked with, and she's Asian American just like you...and I think that if we did your hair like her, and your makeup too...you could go undercover as her and I don't think anyone would notice."

Kayla understood what Andrea meant now by "this might sound bad," but she was fine. Honestly, it was kind of a great plan. It would allow Kayla to see things first hand while assuming the risk of something bad happening to her instead of to Andrea's friend. Sure, if she was caught it'd spell bad news, but she was impressed with Andrea's initiative.

"Not a bad plan," Kayla said.

"Really?!" Andrea's eyes lit up as she leaned forward onto the table.

Kayla smiled, "yeah I mean, it sounds great. I've never gone undercover like this before...could be fun! Plus, I'm assuming I get to wear the flight attendant uniform and everything."

"Oh my god, of course! Aren't they just the cutest? Okay, so, I'll need to figure out when those two girls are scheduled to work and see if I can get us on the same shift as them. That might take a bit of work, but if I can manage it, the plan will be a go!"

"Great, so I guess I'll just wait to hear back from you until then, yeah?"

"Yes, oh my god this is just perfect! You know, being a flight attendant is cool and all, but to be a reporter like you? God, must be so much fun. I can't believe we get to work together!"

"Well, just be prepared in case things go south."

"Oh, I will. Don't you worry about me. I can handle my own!"

"Good, because you never know what might happen out there."

Andrea lifted her arm up and gave Kayla a salute.

"You got it!"

They held straight faces for as long as they could before bursting out into laughter. Kayla was thankful for her friend, and quite excited to go undercover with her!

The next few weeks seemed to fly by. Before Kayla knew it, the time had come to set their plan into motion. Andrea's coworker, Lisa, had sent her uniform over and the morning of the "operation" Kayla laid it out on the bed in front of her. Work gave them an option of a shirt and skirt, shirt and pants, or dress for the uniform. Lisa had opted for the shirt and skirt. They were both very straightforward and plain. The shirt was a simple white dress shirt, and the skirt was all black. It did however come with a very cute scarf, which Kayla was looking forward to wearing. In addition to the uniform, flight attendants were required to wear nylons, but lucky for Kayla she had plenty on hand that would do the trick.

Grabbing a pair black semi-sheer nylons she slipped them on first before stepping into the skirt and putting the shirt on next tucking it in as she did so. The fit was perfect. Walking over to the mirror Kayla took a look at herself in the uniform. The way the skirt hugged her rear was quite flattering, and the shirt was formed enough that it highlighted the natural curves of her upper body in all the right places. Adding the finishing touch, Kayla took the scarf and tied it around her neck. It took her a few tries to get it right, but she finally managed to get it in a good spot.

She also did her hair a bit differently too. She usually never wore it up, but it's how Lisa wore it so that's how she styled it. She had borrowed a large clip from her, and so throwing her hair into a quick and messy bun she clipped it together at the back of her head.

To complete her outfit, she stepped into a pair of black heels she'd borrowed from Lisa too. They were shoes specifically made for flight attendants, and were super comfortable! Kayla was blown away by how good they felt on. She took one last look at herself in the mirror before pulling up a picture of Lisa to see if there was any resemblance. It wasn't perfect, but pretty damn close she had to admit!

Grabbing her suitcase that she'd packed the night before, Kayla headed out and off to the airport where she'd meet Andrea. The flight wasn't long thankfully, and it was just the one flight that they'd be taking. After that, Andrea would have a layover for a day before working another flight back home. The plan was for Lisa to meet them and then swap out with Kayla during the layover. They were only giving themselves one shot to get the evidence they needed, but Kayla was confident in her abilities. She'd get to the bottom of things one way or another!

She arrived at the airport right on time. Andrea was waiting outside for her. She was wearing the dress version of the uniform paired with knee high black boots and tan nylons. As soon as she saw Kayla she skipped over to her, dragging her suitcase behind her.

"Oh my god!" She said in a hushed yet excited tone, "we're finally doing this! Oh, and let me just add, you look adorable. That uniform looks gorgeous on you, babe!"

"Thanks," Kayla replied, "I'm assuming I'll just follow your lead on everything."

"Yes, just do what I do. It should be a pretty smooth ride through security. Come on!"

Andrea skipped off as Kayla followed behind her. Security was a breeze, the easiest Kayla had ever experienced going through an airport. Then again, flight attendants did get expedited access. This was the only part Kayla was somewhat nervous about, but her "disguise" worked perfectly. She passed through security no problems at all. So far, everything was going just according to plan.

Andrea and Kayla found their way to the gate. Standing near the entrance to the tunnel were two other flight attendants. She looked at Andrea who gave her a slight nod. So these were the supposed culprits.

They looked incredibly unassuming. Dressed in the same uniform Kayla and Andrea were wearing, they stood around with their suitcases in hand quietly looking down at their phones. The taller one was Molly, and the other was Lindsay (Kayla made sure to know their names ahead of time so as not to blow her cover). Nothing suspicious about them at all. Andrea took the lead and walked over to them as Kayla trailed behind.

"Hey," Andrea said, "how's it going?"

"Good," Molly responded with a smile, "we're just waiting for the go ahead so we can board and start setting things up."

"Awesome! This is my friend, Lisa. We know each other pretty well, but looks like this will be the first flight y'all get to work with her!"

"Nice to meet you, Lisa," said Lindsay as she smiled at Kayla.

If they really were up to something shady they were damn good at hiding it!

"Ladies, tunnel is clear. You're good to go!"

"Looks like we're up," said Molly.

Kayla and Andrea followed the two girls into the plane. They were going to be stationed at the front, while Kayla and Andrea were taking the back. As soon as they boarded, Andrea helped Kayla stow her bag. The flight attendants were given the bins at the back of the plane to stash their bags, and so Kayla set hers beside Andrea's. Molly and Lindsay stashed theirs in the compartment across the aisle. After this, they walked the aisles picking up any trash and resetting the cards in the back of the seats. So far, everything was going super smooth, but that didn't stop Kayla's heart from racing the entire time. It was such a rush being undercover like this.

"So," Andrea whispered to Kayla as they restocked the cart in the back, "what's your plan now?"

"Well," Kayla said, "I'm not sure. From what you were saying, it sounds like they're smuggling something...it would be best to try and look through their bags to see if I can find anything."

"And how are we going to do that without them noticing?"

"I'm not sure...I need to figure that out. In the meantime, let's just keep laying low."

"Copy that. We're going to start boarding soon anyway. Once we takeoff maybe we can try something then."

"Yeah, I'll keep trying to figure something out."

But truth be told Kayla was a bit stuck. She needed some kind of diversion to snatch one of the other flight attendant's bags to look through them and see if she could find anything. Thankfully they were at the front of the plane. Maybe all Kayla needed was to wait until takeoff and then she could get into the bin and grab the bags. Surely if she was quick about it the girls wouldn't notice. Besides, her bag looked fairly similar to theirs anyway. How would they be able to tell which bag she grabbed from all the way at the front of the plane? It might be risky, but it was all Kayla was able to come up with for the time being.

Until then, she helped out with the boarding process. Thankfully, she had spent time studying the routine prior to this as Andrea had sent her quite a bit of guides to help Kayla blend right in. It felt a little awkward at first, but no one was giving her any weird looks so she had to be doing something right!

Once all the passengers boarded and their bags were stowed, the girls went through their safety demonstrations. They did the whole routine, with Kayla following along every step of the way. It wasn't too bad really. Besides, she'd seen this done enough times anyway that doing it herself didn't feel that foreign. Granted, she did practice the whole routine at home for quite a while. Once it was over, Kayla breathed a small sigh of relief. In terms of her duties as a flight attendant, that was kind of the worse part. Now all that was left was to find a way to investigate the bags before landing.

"Oh my god," Andrea said with a big smile on her face, "you did amazing!"

She and Kayla were sat in the back row for takeoff together. They had some time between then and when they reached cruising altitude to discuss their plans.

"Okay," Kayla said, "so here's the deal. I need to get into that overhead bin to check their bags. I can't risk having either of them come back here while I'm doing it. Is there any way you can kind of help keep watch while I rifle through things?"

"Yes, absolutely. Plus, there's a curtain up between the main cabin and first class anyway. As long as they stay up at the front of the plane we should have no problem. But, I can help keep them occupied while you check."

"How so?"

"Our coffee pot is always having issues, but hey have one at the front I can use. I was thinking I'd head up there and ask to use their pot to prep coffee for our cart back here. While I'm up there I'll tell some of my famous long winded stories...they won't think anything of it, I'm always talking way too much anyway. But basically, while I'm up there keeping them busy, you can be back here going through their luggage. There's no telling how long I'll be able to make sure they're distracted so you'll need to be quick."

"Okay, that sounds like it should work."

And so the plan was set. Prior to beginning the in-flight service, Andrea headed up to the front to engage in her little ruse. Kayla's heart had settled down, but once again started racing as she reached up and removed one of the other flight attendant's suitcase. She brought it into the back galley and pulled that curtain closed too. Carefully unzipping the bag she started rummaging through it. There was nothing suspicious about it at first glance. It was just filled with spare clothes and other traveling essentials. However, that didn't stop Kayla from really investigating. If these girls really were smuggling something it would have to be hidden really well, so well in fact that it would escape the notice of any TSA agent or machine. It clearly wouldn't be just set in the bag, but rather it would be hidden in some kind of secret compartment...

Bingo!

As Kayla felt around the bottom of the suitcase she noticed that on the one edge she could slip her fingers underneath the fabric. As she did so she could feel a few stacks of thin rubber sheets had been stuffed underneath the bottom layer of fabric. She tried to pull one out but they were pretty large and fairly well packed in. There was no way that these rubber sheets were part of the suitcases design. No, they felt intentionally placed inside. She had no idea what in the world they could possibly be though...was it drugs? What kind of drug could you store like that? If it was drugs Kayla was shocked as to how they managed to get this past security. She gathered it was probably something else, but for the life of her she couldn't figure out what this strange material was!

Zipping the suitcase back up, Kayla returned it to the overhead bin. A short while later Andrea returned with a fresh pot of coffee in hand. Together, she and Kayla convened in the galley to discuss Kayla's findings.

"So I was right!" Andrea said with a sparkle in her eye.

"Maybe...I just can't figure out what those sheets are...it's obviously something they're keeping hidden, but I don't know what it could be."

"Well that's okay, at least we know that they are smuggling something, right?"

"Yeah...wait a second that's right! We know now that they're smuggling something, or at least...we're pretty sure they're smuggling something. So that means all we have to do is trail them and figure out where the hand-off is happening."

"Ooooh, Kayla, good work!"

"So for now, we just finish this flight, and then from there I can start trailing them. I might even change out of this uniform and just head for it solo."

"You mean...I won't be your partner anymore...?"

Andrea stuck out her lower lip as her eyes grew big almost like she was about to cry.

"No Andrea it's just that."

"Ha, I'm just kidding!"

She nudged Kayla playfully, her smile returning once again.

"It's been super fun," she said, "thanks for doing this."

Kayla smiled. It had been fun, and from the looks of it the mission had been a success! Still, she held her breath until things were all squared away. She hadn't been in this business for that long yet, but long enough to know that the tides could turn quickly. She had to stay alert.

She and Andrea returned to their seats as the plane began its descent. The only thing left for them to do now was wait until landing, and then clean up the plane once all the passengers made their exit. From here, Kayla would tail Molly and Lindsay and see if she could spy the hand-off taking place.

Together with Andrea, she worked through their checklist to make sure everything was taken care of. She watched Molly and Lindsay carefully in the meantime. They looked the same as they did earlier. No signs of suspicion yet.

"I'm going to take this coffee pot back to the front," Andrea said, "we should be just about finished cleaning up. You might want to go over the list one last time though to make sure we didn't miss anything."

"On it."

As Andrea headed back to the front to return the coffee pot, Kayla looked over the list in the galley. She was going to wait for Andrea to return to see what was next. Finally, she saw someone coming up the aisle, but it wasn't Andrea. It was Molly and Lindsay. Kayla expected them to stop at the overhead bin and start retrieving their luggage, but instead they passed by it and stepped into the galley with Kayla.

Something seemed off...

"Game's up, Lisa...you and Andrea stuck your noses where they don't belong!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You think we didn't take precautions? We know you were snooping around in our luggage. It has a silent alarm attached to the hinge. Bet you didn't think about that, did you?"

Damn...they really did plan things out so as not to get caught. It wasn't looking good for Kayla now.

"Your friend was easy enough to deal with...let's hope you're the same."

In perfect sync, Molly and Lindsay rushed Kayla. Grabbing her arms they wrestled her down to the ground. From here, Molly straddled Kayla's body and pinned her down to the floor between her legs. Lindsay disappeared for a moment but quickly returned with her suitcase in hand. Opening it up she started to pull out numerous pairs of nylons. Kayla was astonished at how many she had stored in there. Andrea had said that it was a flight attendant thing to carry a bunch of backups in case your other pairs ripped. They were invaluable to have in that case, but unfortunately for Kayla they were also invaluable to have in a situation like this one!

With nylons in hand, Molly and Lindsay made quick work of Kayla as her wrists and ankles were bound with the soft material. Taking extra precautions to make sure she was really secure they connected her wrists to her ankles with more nylons so that she was now in a very snug hogtie.

"God...do you really think you're going to get away with this?"

"Yes, in fact, we do. I'd tell you to shut up, but in a moment here you're not really going to have much of a choice."

Kayla huffed as a strand of hair fell down into her face. Her bun was starting to come loose in all the commotion and she was already working up quite the sweat. She only hoped that Andrea was okay...that, and she wondered what the plan was for the both of them...

"Alright, now just be a good girl and open wide!"

Kayla rolled her eyes. There wasn't much use in putting up a fight now, and so she made the choice to save her energy and just let whatever was going to happen, happen.

Crouching down right in front of Kayla's face Molly grinned as she held up a handful of ankle socks in one hand along with another pair of nylons in the other. Setting the pantyhose down she grabbed Kayla's face and began stuffing in as many ankle socks as would fit.

"Gnnnnnnmph!"

"Atta' girl! Way to cooperate!"

She had no idea how many socks Molly was able to cram inside, but it felt like a lot! Her mouth was practically bursting and there was no way her mouth was ever going to close over the mass. To seal it all inside, Molly wrapped the nylons around Kayla's head and between her lips making sure to make at least a few loops before tying it off. Kayla's speech was completely cut off now reducing her to muffled grunts and moans.

"Fffmmmmmmph mmmmmph!"

Rolling around on the floor, she hurled insults at Molly and Lindsay who quite frankly could not have cared less.

"Should we bring Andrea back here too?"

"Yeah, best not to leave her up there like that. Captains are already off, but the cleaning crew is going to need to board eventually."

"What about your contacts here? Do you think they're going to be able to help take care of these two?"

"Absolutely. That's what we're waiting on. Once they get here with the cart, let's load them in. We'll use the back door."

"Got it."

"Nmmmmmmph mmmmmmmmmmmmmmgggggggph!"

Kayla thrashed around as she pulled and flexed in her restraints, both of her heels coming off in the process. Rope and tape made for much sturdier bindings, but these nylons were pretty much just as effective! The girls had made sure to pull their loops tight leaving little to no slack for Kayla to work with. At first Kayla thought that by using pantyhose she'd have an easier time getting out, but that was just simply not the case.

She lifted her head as she head Molly and Lindsay returning. Andrea's own muffled grunts joined Kayla's as she was dragged into the back galley and plopped down on the floor where she was promptly hogtied as well. Her boots and socks were missing from her nylon clad feet, and her mouth was plugged with a fluffy pink mass that peeped over the top of the nylons wrapped between her teeth. Molly and Lindsay were nothing if not resourceful...

"Mmmmmmmmgggph!"

Andrea was really thrashing around as she sputtered through her gag. Kayla wasn't at all surprised though. Andrea was resilient so it was no surprise that she would be taking this all in stride.

"Okay, I just heard back from the rampers. They'll be here any minute now."

"Good, it's about time! We're cutting this really close."

"I know, but just hang in there. They'll be able to dispose of these two no problem. We just make the transfer after that, and we're out."

"FFffmmmmmph!"

Molly knelt down and grabbed a handful of Kayla's hair, now completely loose from its bun. She tugged on it hard and pulled Kayla's head back causing her to yelp through her stuffed mouth.

"Now listen, you. Just sit there and be quiet. You've already screwed with our plans enough."

"Gggnnnnnnnmph!"

"Molly, just relax. Look, here they come!"

Lindsay and Molly stepped away for a moment, and upon their return they were joined by two men dressed in safety vests, goggles, and ear muffs.

"You can take care of them, right?"

"Yeah, shouldn't be any problem. Just leave it to us."

"Good. Now just get them out of here."

"You got it."

Starting with Andrea, the men unrolled what looked like a large blanket. Lifting her up they placed her on top of it before rolling her up with it. All the while she cried out through her sock packed mouth, but there was nothing she could do to stop the men from lifting her up and carrying her out of the plane. Before long they returned and repeated this process with Kayla. As if she wasn't already sweaty enough, being wrapped in a thick blanket made things so much worse. On top of that her mouth stretching gag made it super hard to breath. Closing her eyes she did her best to calm herself down and breath slowly so as to preserve her strength.

She was carried out of the plane and tossed into some kind of crate. She could feel Andrea moving around beside her. A lid was slammed over the top of the two girls plunging them into total darkness. The next thing Kayla heard was the sound of a car engine firing up. Not too much time passed before they came to a stop.

Kayla and Andrea were lifted out of the crate and carried inside some building. Thankfully, the men were kind enough to not just leave them wrapped in the blankets, but this kindness was short lived as Kayla and Andrea were roughly dumped onto a concrete floor. Kayla looked around as she laid on her side, still snugly wrapped up in her hogtie and chewing on the ridiculous amount of socks stuffed in her mouth.

Andrea had settled down a bit now too. Perhaps the gravity of the situation was starting to hit her. Kayla was starting to get a bit nervous about things herself. At least she and Andrea were being stashed together like this. That would at least give them the opportunity to help each other escape...that is if they were ever given such an opportunity.

"They should be fine stashed here for the time being. I have a contact that will know just where to take these two pretty ladies, but they won't be available until later tonight."

"Sounds good. We'll just come back for them then I guess."

Good, Kayla figured that would be plenty of time for her and Andrea to make their escape.

"Fmmmmmph mmmmmph!"

Kayla urgently began signaling to Andrea as she wriggled her way closer to her. Thankfully, Andrea was able to pick up on her signals and together the girls began working their way free little by little...

.   .   .   .   .

"Alright, they'll be here shortly so let's get the cargo ready for trans.."

BANG! SMACK!

thump. thump.

"Phew...that was easier than I thought it would be!"

Kayla and Andrea stood over the two men with their weapons of choice in hand: two led pipes to be exact. While these were great weapons for staging a sneak attack, Kayla quickly dove down and reached for the men's guns which would make far superior weapons. Handing one to Andrea, Kayla cocked the gun and pointed it at the men on the ground who were just starting to stir.

"Ugh...what the hell?!"

"Hands behind your head, now!" Kayla managed in her most threatening voice possible.

The men looked up at her and Andrea, realizing they had been clearly beaten. Sitting up they placed their hands behind their heads per Kayla's instructions.

"Now then," Kayla said, "let's figure out what you know."

The men were surprisingly cooperative giving Kayla the full extent of their operation. Then again, she was holding a loaded gun at them. Still, she was able to learn that the two flight attendants were in fact smuggling drugs, cocaine to be exact. It had been melted down and changed into those thin rubber sheets so as to make for easy transportation and near impossible detection. Lindsay and Molly had been helping transport the drugs for some time now. They were working with a bunch of different people too at a few different airports. It was a fairly large operation that Kayla and Andrea had stumbled on, and it was all thanks to Andrea and her hunch.

The only thing left now was to call the police and get them involved in wrapping things up. Kayla was about to place the call when Andrea stopped her.

"Wait a second," Andrea said, "before you do that...we need to settle the score."

"What do you mean?"

Andrea turned to the two men.

"Do you know where Molly and Lindsay are?"

They nodded. Andrea turned to Kayla with a devious smile on her face.

"Let's go bag some bitches!"

.   .   .   .   .

*knock knock knock*

Molly turned her head toward the door. Who could that be at this hour? She was definitely suspicious, but whoever it was kept knocking. Slipping out of bed, she slid her sock clad feet into her slippers as she carefully walked over to the door and peered through the peephole. There was no one on the other side...

Perhaps she was tired, or perhaps she just wasn't thinking, but either way Molly opened the door to check the hallway. As soon as she undid the lock and started to open the door, someone on the other side slammed into the door sending Molly flying backwards. She fell onto the carpet, her thin leggings doing nothing to cushion her fall.

She looked up at who it was that had barged in, her jaw dropping to the floor.

"No way...but how?"

"Surprise, bitch," Andrea said as she slammed the door shut behind her.

Together, she and Kayla pounced on Molly wrapping her body with tape. They held nothing back as they wound layer after layer around her arms, legs, and chest. Just like she had done to them, they made sure to place her in a restricting hogtie. Kayla was so used to being on the receiving end of this kind of thing, that dishing it out felt a little strange. However, it did feel good to get a little revenge. She was even getting a bit of a rush out of it! Was this how thugs felt tying her up?

"Andrea...Lisa...listen...we can talk this out, okay? I can get you whatever kind of cut you want...you can share in the profits I swear! Look, we can even gang up on Lindsay. She's in the room next door!"

"Great, thanks for letting us know where she is," Andrea said.

"Lisa...please..."

"Oh, by the way," Kayla said as she reached for Molly's socks and peeled them off her feet, "the name's Kayla...as in renowned Tribune Reporter Kayla Grace."

"Who?"

"Oh forget it."

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmph!"

Jamming both of Molly's socks into her mouth, Kayla made sure to pack them in as far back as they'd go because she wasn't done yet. Taking a pair of nylons Kayla managed to scrunch those in too.

"GGggnnnnnnmmmm mmmmmmmmph!"

Molly shook her head trying to dislodge her massive mouth packing, but Kayla had packed so much in it wasn't going anywhere! To really make sure of this though Kayla wound a bunch of tape around Molly's head. She had one final piece to add though. Tying Molly up was to get even for the fact that she had tied Andrea and Kayla up, but this last bit was for trying to get rid of them via whatever those goons had planned.

Taking a pair of underwear from Molly's suitcase, Kayla pulled it over Molly's head and wrapped even more tape around her mouth to seal the panties in place. Molly was fuming, and rightfully so.

Kayla stepped back to admire her and Andrea's work. She turned to Andrea who had a very accomplished look in her eyes.

"Shall we go and give Lindsay a visit?"

"I think so," Kayla said as she and Andrea headed out with tape in hand, "but after that we call the police and wrap this up. I'm ready to go home."

"Agreed. Come on, let's make this quick!"

About a week had passed since Kayla and Andrea had caught Molly and Lindsay, and in that time Kayla had published a piece on the whole affair. It really was a large operation that she and Andrea had stumbled upon, and as such her story gained quite a bit of attention. She owed it all to Andrea though, and of course in her story she made sure to give her friend all the proper credits.

In any case, Kayla felt as though she was really starting to move up in the reporting world. She knew that this would come with all new kinds of trouble, namely a bigger target on her back, but she welcomed the challenge. She had made it through so much so far...how bad could things really get?

No, Kayla tried not to think this way. Those would be infamous last words if anything. Instead, she just kept her head held high and prepared herself for whatever was inevitably going to come next!
