You never know what's going to happen when you start a game. But I figure you either win or you lose, the fun comes from whom you play with (or against). It's the opponents that make the game worth playing.
My name is Jack and I've played games all my life. And I've played quite a few. You name it I've played it. But lately, I've grown bored with my usual games and have been looking for something with more kick and a bit of real life excitement.
Or at least a different kind than the one I get from playing poker. And though I usually make money playing in tournaments I've never yet reached the final table where the real money and the big kick is. And lately I can't even seem to crack the top thirty in the tournaments I play in.
Which is really sticking in my craw. So I've decided to take a break from playing poker and try something new. Something with a completely different perspective.
And that you could say is how I came upon The Abduction Game. I stumbled upon the website late one
night and found myself drawn to the premise. Abduct and hold hostage an individual of the site master's choosing to win a cash prize. All participants in the game are willing individuals who sign up as either abductors or abductees.
Other than the basic rules the site was vague on details though swore up and down that potential abductees had signed a waiver for the actual kidnapping. They just wouldn't know when their turn might come.
Maybe if it hadn't been 3am and I'd had more sleep in the week prior to finding the site I'd have seen that The Abduction Game was something I should've left alone. Or maybe I'm just too much of a gamer to have walked away.
The day after I took the plunge and signed up for the game I found a notice in my email with the name and information of my assigned target. I had a deadline of one week to prepare and get her off the streets once I sent my confirmation of receipt. If I wanted to change my mind and not play all I had to do was hit the "Changed my mind" link and delete the email.
I never even thought about it. Once I saw the target's name and her picture I went full speed ahead. Never mind that what I was supposed to do with her until the release date came was not mentioned in the rules.
Her name was Jessica Williams and her picture was something else. Blond hair and blue eyes with classic features and a good eye for fashion had my complete attention.
Her sheet had her living alone, but one of the rules was that I had to have her stashed somewhere away from her home. That was fine with me as I have a cabin in the mountains I haven't gotten to in awhile. So that was my first trip. Out west to air the place and see what I might need.
My cabin was in the Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking scenic skyline drive. The drive out took a few hours and would be an overnight trip. There were several things I needed to see and do to be ready when I got here with Jessica. As I pulled up the winding drive I took a good look at all the thick foliage and greenery. It was perfect for hiding a captive and possibly a little outside fun.
Once I got inside first thing I did was open all the windows downstairs and got the drop cloths off the furniture. The downstairs consists of one great room and the kitchen. In the center of the great room stands a long suede sofa with an overstuffed suede chair with a matching ottoman and 1 high winged back chair opposite the coffee table in front of the sofa. Off to the left of those in front of sliding glass doors which take up almost the whole wall is the dining set consisting a long oval table, great for playing poker, and several chairs. Also there's a sideboard cabinet set in the corner. As I took the covers off of these I could see myself securing Jess to the top of the table. Outside the doors is one wide redwood deck that stretches the length of the house. Not much out here, really just a few Adirondacks for sky gazing.
Next was to go upstairs into the bedrooms. I have three on this floor, one of which is unfurnished. The two I planned on using needed their cloths removed and had to have fresh bed linens put on. I went into the Master bedroom and decided right then that Jessica was sleeping here. This is usually my room when I come, but with its King size Mission style bed, it was perfect for tying her up and having her sleep in. With lots of slats on both the head and foot boards she could easily be tied spread eagle, or hands above her head stretched taut.
Once the inside was taken care of I went outside to turn on the utilities and check in my shed to see what I needed as far as keeping her tied goes. Once inside there was a good long coil of rope. I grabbed a knife and started cutting off pieces of various lengths as I examined it for flaws. It'd be great for wrapping it around her lean form.
Next I found some old clothesline. The line itself was too old and dirty to be of any real use so I tossed it in the trash. But since I liked size and weight of it I made a mental note to pick some up at the hardware store in town.
Next was the tape supply. I had both electrical and duct tape in ample supply. These will make handy quick gags.
Once done in the shed I drove into town to pick up some groceries for the house and also some chains at the hardware store. I wanted some lightweight chains I could use in case she proved cooperative later on. The rules of the game need her to be restrained at all times, but a chain would fill that purpose and let her wander just a bit. Once I got to the hardware store I found chain I liked along with some padlocks and pet collars to round it out.
On a whim at the grocery store I stopped in the first aid section. I realized that I may need to blindfold her and somehow I don't think tape would be very comfy. So I grabbed some rolls of white bandage and medical tape before leaving.
Overall, it turned out to be a very good trip. Once I got home, I placed the ropes and clothesline near the chairs and the bed she would use for easy access. The chain I deposited out in the shed for later. Then I fixed a meal and called it a night. In the morning I would be driving back home to make the final preparations and then the grab.
I left the next morning about 8:00 and made it back to my house by 11. I had just a couple more things to do before I drove over to Jessica's house.
First thing I did was arranged for a rental SUV. My usual ride is a nice two-seater sports car. A little too obvious for a three-hour drive with a tied captive. The SUV would give us both room and tinted windows to keep her from being noticed.
Next was to pack a bag. We would be at the cabin for a few days and I don't generally keep clothes up there. When I made it to Jess's house I planned to pack a bag for her as well.
Once that was done I prepared my bag of tricks for kidnapping Jessica. That included the bandages, three different tapes and some clothesline. A small bottle of water and my digital vidcam completed the kit. After I got confirmation that my SUV would be ready and waiting for me tomorrow morning I decided to head over to Jess's and get the lay of the land.
When I reached her place it appeared that no one was home. A look at my dash clock had it at just about early evening on this Saturday, so I can't say I was surprised to find her out. I had hoped to find her home as I was getting a bit restless with all the prep work. But then again her not being home could be a good thing simply because the last thing I wanted was a nosy neighbor calling the cops and ruining the game. So since she wasn't home I did a cruise around the neighborhood to see who was home and then left to go catch a meal and unwind a bit before returning to hopefully find her having returned.
As it turned out I unwound a bit more than I planned. I dozed off after putting in a movie to kill time before driving back to Jesica's. After realizing it, I splashed some water on my face and got into my car to head back. With any luck she'd be inside preparing for bed.
So much for luck. No car was in the drive and nothing to say she'd been there. Just a few lights on downstairs, and the light for the front walk.
I parked across the street and after a good look up and down the street I took a walk around the place and discreetly checked the mailbox next to her front door. She hadn't picked up today's arrivals. Which meant I was right in my guess that she hadn't returned and then left again. There didn't appear to be any kind of security system other than a few motion-activated lights on the outside that I'd tripped. I didn't worry though as there was a fair amount of ground and the neighboring houses both appeared equally as dark as Jessica's. That's a nice thing about the weekends. People tend to go out at least once. I checked my watch and saw that it was pretty late.
Going back to my car, I pulled out my vidcam. It was nice and small and could be placed in her bushes without being noticed. So I hid it under the bushes by the front door and hoped if she came home tonight that she went in that way. As she had a driveway but no garage I felt it was even odds that she would. After it was set I waited about ten minutes and then went back home knowing the camera was good for at least eight hours of footage and I intended to be back before it ran out.
I was back at Jessica's house around 7:30am. A quick drive by showed no car in the drive and I went around the block hoping she hadn't been home and gone again. I parked around the corner this time and went up to the house to grab the vidcam and decided to quickly ring the doorbell. When no one answered and no dogs barked I went down the front steps and back to my car to review the footage and make a stop to pick up the rental. I planned to have Jessica in my hands today as I only had four days left to complete the task of the initial kidnapping.
A quick review of the disc footage showed she'd definitely been out all night. I scratched my head in wonder as I pulled out of the rental lot. When I got back I saw that she still wasn't home and started to wonder what this girl did with her weekends. I was also starting to hope that she hadn't gone on an extended vacation. But if she had I'd be waiting for her when she got back. And if my luck held, I'd be waiting inside her house.
To that end I brought my bag of supplies out of the SUV with me and went to the back door to try my luck at getting inside. I examined all the windows on the first floor and found each of them locked tight. I started to dig through my bag when I noticed the basement window dome. It was plastic and came up easy.
A look at the window showed it to be small and right over the washer/drier unit. Even better it was cracked open. I opened it all the way and then dumped my bag inside. Getting myself in was a bit harder. I had to go in feet first and then twist slightly sideways for my torso and my arms came last. Good thing I was tall enough to basically stand on the washer/drier while I finished getting in. I grabbed my bag and made my way upstairs to the first floor of the house.
The first floor was like most houses with living room and dining room. The living room looked a nice place to relax, but who wants to get caught sleeping on the couch by the girl you're kidnapping. So instead I headed upstairs where I found a couple of bedrooms and an office.
I went into Jess's bedroom first. It was done with a four-poster bed, a nightstand and a sitting area under the window. The sitting area had two comfy chairs and a small round table.
Next I went into her office. Her calendar was lying open to this weekend in the center of her desk. In gold was written "Brooks & Dunn in Atlantic City" back Sunday afternoon. So that was why she hadn't been home. Looks like my luck was going to hold after all.
Surrounding the desk I found award plaques and pictures of her receiving an award or two. I took one of them off of her wall and studied it for a few minutes.
This was a much better pic than the one in my email. This one showed her to be tall with her blond hair straight and hanging down her back. Her blue eyes were gorgeous and looking right at camera. Her sleeveless sweater showed off her graceful long arms and her slacks gave a hint of beautiful long legs and her slight waist. She would definitely have my complete attention over the duration of this little game.
I carefully set the pic back on the wall and then went into the second bedroom. Modest with a daybed and a small table I sat down to wait for her return.
It was nearing early evening and I shut the door, as I'd found it taking out what I'd need to subdue her. I dropped some clothesline on the floor as well as the duct tape. I went into the bath and pulled a fresh washcloth off the shelf and quickly went back to the bedroom to wait.
I didn't have to wait long as I soon heard her pull into the drive. I peeked out the blinds and gave a sigh of relief when she got of the car alone. She grabbed her luggage out of the trunk and came inside. I decided to let her do what she needed to do and let her get comfy with being home. As I was in a spare room it was unlikely she'd come in here first thing. Even so I wet the cloth I'd gotten with the bottle of water and pulled some line into my pockets. I ripped just a bit of tape off the roll for easier access and waited just behind the door.
I heard her go into her bedroom and then the bath walking around the floor while she was humming a tune. She was unpacking already as I scanned an eye out the door and saw clothes go into a hamper and then she went back into the bedroom. Apparently she didn't like to leave anything out of place. With that thought I saw her come back with her travel items heading for the closet right across from my door.
I smiled tightly and held my breath as she opened the closet to put her stuff inside. I saw her reach up as I opened the door and waited for her to shut the closet. She nearly had it closed when I grabbed her around her chest with one arm and using the other I plugged her mouth with the wet washcloth before she could get a good scream out.
Pushing her to the floor and straddling her I grabbed the tape and pulled a strip tight across her lips. She tried kicking out and bucking me off as I seized one arm and turned her over bringing it behind her. After taking her other arm I tied her wrists together palm to palm and then held her down while I turned myself to grab her still bucking legs. She didn't make it easy, but I got both legs together and tied the ankles tight around her boots.
Moving off of her now, I went into the bedroom and snatched the rest of my line as I saw her still trying to scream and get herself up off the floor. She didn't have any luck before I got back to her and sat her up to tie another length of line around her chest. She was writhing a great deal as I stood up.
I went into her bedroom with the rest of my kit and left her on the floor. She watched me go in and then got herself moving along the floor towards her office.
OK, I confess I let her. I wanted to see how well she could move and amuse myself a little bit. So I let her make it to the office while I banged around in her room. When I reached her she was nearly standing and trying to get to the phone. I thought she was going to faint when I spoke for the first time.
"I don't think you want to be doing that. Bringing the cops down on us isn't very smart at all."
Her face paled as I grabbed her and threw her over my shoulder squealing into her gag. I threw her down into one of the chairs in the room and she started wide-eyed at me as I grabbed more line.
"You're not going anywhere just yet Jessica," I told her as I stretched the line around back of the chair and her waist making sure it was tight before I tied it off in front of her. I repeated the actions with a length around her chest holding her upright in her chair. Standing up I peeled another length of tape and tore it off covering the first length I'd used leaving her covered from chin to nose.
"Feeling comfy?"
She responded by kicking me in the knee. It hurt with those boots. I didn't have any line left so I pulled my roll of tape and grabbed her ankles taping around both them and the chair. I hated using the duct tape on that gorgeous white leather, but damn if they aren't leg breakers.
"I'll come back when you're feeling calmer" and turned out the light as I turned to see her piercing blue eyes staring at me.
Those eyes were still staring at me as I headed to the spare room for a nap. It was gonna be a long night...
