Danni groaned and rubbed her temple as she stared at the spreadsheet of data. Heels behind her clicked and she looked up to see Taylor looking over her shoulder sipping from a mug. “Any progress?” She asked.
The law firm that they worked at had a task due tomorrow at midday and due to last minute requirements, it had forced a number of employees to stay. Danni was one of the juniors at the firm, along with Talia, Roxxi, and Taylor that were working on the project. Their manager, Chantelle, had also stayed late along with the senior partner Courtney. Danni sighed and swivelled in her chair to face her friend. “No. Thought we had a breakthrough but doesn’t look like that was the case. Have to look elsewhere now.”
Taylor looked sympathetic. Danni caught herself looking her friend up and down admiring her outfit. As juniors in the law firm, they all dressed professionally and to dress code in black pencil skirts, blouses, stockings, and high heels. Constant exercise kept their bodies in good shape and each of the girls wore a blouse in white, blue, or pink, with heels ranging from ankle strap heels to pumps. Danni laughed to herself. Good think they left it to us girls. She thought. If any of the men were left to work on this, they’d get no work done.
Danni looked around the rest of the office. Chantelle was in her office nearby, glasses perched on her nose as she stared at her computer screen. Roxxi was twirling a pen a couple desks over, Talia had walked off down the hall a few minutes ago to the printers, and Courtney was down another hall where the partner offices were located, no doubt also going through heaps of data. “Maybe I need another coffee.” She groaned. “No idea how long we’ll be here tonight.
Danni and Taylor both turned as they heard a shriek of surprise down the hall from the printers. “Talia?” Danni called standing up. “You ok? You fall or something?”
It wouldn’t have been the first time Talia had keeled over in her high heels, but as her heels sounded on the flooring walking back to them, Danni saw that Talia wasn’t alone. Three masked men dressed in black accompanied her, one holding Talia tight in his grasp and a hand covering her mouth muffling her cries as her eyes were wide in fear over the gloved hand. “Oh my god Talia!”
Taylor’s hands went to her mouth and Danni’s shout caused Roxxi to jump in her seat, before she turned and saw the men. Her mouth reflexively opened in a scream but then the other two men drew silenced pistols and aimed them at the women. “Shutup.” One said. “You bitches make any sound we’ll make sure you never make any sound again, understood?”
The three girls nodded. “Now, hands up where we can see them, go get that other girl in the office.”
Talia was shoved over to join her coworkers, her hands raised as well as one of the men stalked over to Chantelle’s office, which had the door closed so she hadn’t heard any of the commotion. “Did they hurt you at all?” Danni whispered to her.
Talia shook her head as the two remaining men dumped duffle bags onto the desks beside them. “I said shutup!” The one who seemed to be the leader jabbed a pistol in Danni’s face, causing her to whimper. “Is there anyone else here?” The man demanded.
“J-just Courtney, down the hall.” Danni stuttered, pointing to where the partner offices were.
The leader set off in that direction. “Get these bitches secured.” He instructed as Chantelle was led out to join the other women, her hands also raised and an expression of shock on her face.
“Are you girls ok?” She asked as she was led over to them.
“I won’t be soon.” Taylor said as she watched the men open the duffle bags and pull out coils of rope and rolls of duct tape. “Come on, is that really necessary? You have guns, we won’t do anything!”
Her protest earned her a slap across her face, sending her reeling backwards. “That’s not for you to decide.” One of the men hissed. “All you bitches turn around, hands behind your back. Now!”
Knowing they had no choice, they all complied. The men were quick and efficient, one bound their wrists with rope, using several turns and a cinch to ensure the girls hands were locked behind their backs, and then the other stuffed a balled up cloth in each of their mouths and sealed it in place with multiple strips of duct tape. After the initial bindings, each girl was shoved down into an office chair and their ankles were bound just above their high heels. Danni winced as her stockings provided practically no protection against the ropes. She tested her bonds and found that it was an exercise in futility. She was going nowhere until someone freed her.
With all of the women in the office bound and gagged, the men proceeded to start ransacking the office, tossing files through the air and grabbing computer drives. Laptops were packed away into a bag and the girls could do nothing but squirm in their chairs and watch. The leader soon came back with Courtney, who had her wrists bound behind her and the scarf that she had worn into office today pulled between her teeth, the white cloth filling her mouth visible around the cleave gag. “Got the safe contents.” He said as he shoved Courtney down into another chair and quickly bound her ankles together.
The senior partner looked at the other girls with wide eyes before sagging in relief seeing that no one was harmed. Hopefully they hurry up and we can work on getting free after. Danni thought.
The men continued their ransacking, paying no attention to the girls for the time being. Talia and Roxxi were in tears, smearing their makeup as they sat timidly. Chantelle and Taylor were squirming, searching for a knot in their bonds until they were interrupted. “Quit your squirming!” The leader glared at Chantelle, who immediately froze. “Tie these bitches up some more.” He instructed the other two before walking back down the hall.
A collective moan of despair rose from the six bound and gagged women as the two masked men grabbed more rope from the duffle bag and began securing them further. Rope was added above and below their breasts, pinning their arms against their backs, as well as above and below the knee. Danni groaned as the rope constricted her chest further, tightening her blouse over her chest and the leg ropes bit into her flesh. As the women squirmed in their new bonds, the leader returned and surveyed his captives. “Her and her.” He said pointing at Courtney and Roxxi. “Bring them first.”
Realizing that this was now a kidnapping instead of a robbery, a fresh bout of struggling started from all of the captives. Despite their efforts to resist, being bound and gagged meant Courtney and Roxxi were easily scooped up and tossed over the shoulders of the men and carried out of the room. With no one watching, Danni could only whimper and continue to struggle along with Taylor, Talia, and Chantelle. They didn’t get very far when the men returned. Chantelle and Taylor were the next two carried out, Taylor’s eyes wide with fear as she met Danni’s eyes before she disappeared out of the room.
Sitting dejected in her chair as she realized how futile it was to try and struggle out of the ropes, Danni looked over at Talia and was surprised to see that the girl who was previously crying her bonds was now angry, growling behind her gag and squirming against the ropes. As the men reentered the room, she directed a harsh glare at them, prompting the leader to walk over and rip the tape off her mouth. After spitting out the cloth that was packed in, Talia erupted. “You idiots! What do you think you’re doing!? You were supposed to just come in and rob the place, grab the documents, and leave! That was the whole point! Why are you now kidnapping everyone too? And taking me with you?!”
“Change of plans sweetheart.” The leader sneered. “Now we get paid for the documents, and we make some money selling your sexy ass! You can struggle all you want, it’s futile at this point.”
The look of shock on Talia’s face was interrupted by the cloth being shoved back into her mouth and the roll of duct tape was wound around and around her head to seal it in tightly. He groped her breasts for a bit through her pink blouse for good measure. “Let’s finish up here, grab her too.” The leader said, pointing at Danni who whimpered behind her gag as the realization that Talia had betrayed them set in. “These girls have a long journey ahead.”
