Nothing Personal - Part 4

Chapter 14


Gayle had seen Christina leave twenty minutes ago for the drop but waited before creeping downstairs towards the bottom level to the two bedrooms where there now three captives were securely stored away. Entering the room containing their two original captives she noted the small amount of rustling of fabric that her entry had caused. Closing the door silently behind her she made her way across to the far away bed where Gillian lay encased in a sleeping bag. Gayle and Gillian locked eyes and Gayle placed her finger over her lips and pointed to the monitor on the table to indicate that Gillian to remain silent. The look in Gillian’s eyes screamed ‘Don’t be stupid’. Gayle went into the pocket of her trousers and removed a sheet on paper, unfolded it and held it up so that Gillian could read what had been written on it. Gayle had kept it simple and hoped that it would work as she needed the help of these two women to execute her plan. Gayle had written On Your Side. Undercover To Take Down This Team. Need Your Help. Have A Plan. Need You To Take Down Reddick. Gayle could see Gillian take in the message, her eyes widening in shock as she read. Gayle put the paper back in her pocket and moved round to the other side of the bed. She next unlocked the zip on the sleeping bag, slid it down and flipped it open. Gillian didn’t make a move as Gayle leaned in and released Gillian’s wrists from the cuffs. Next Gayle placed a cloth and a bottle in the sleeping bag next to Gillian and closed it over again hopefully well enough that it wouldn’t be noticed. Gayle then moved round to Lisa, unzipped her sleeping bag and released her wrists. Gayle then exited the room. Pausing momentarily just outside she crossed her fingers and whispered a silent prayer.

Once Gayle had left the room Gillian used her freedom to remove the straps binding her legs and the gillet and slip out of the sleeping bag. Following her lead Lisa did the same and then the friends embraced for the first time in days. They both left the gags in place for appearance sake and the diapers because they didn’t have an alternative. Next they both moved as quietly as possible around the room to get the muscles moving again after three days of restraint. After a couple of minutes they returned to their sleeping bags, closed them over and awaited the return of Reddick.

Reddick made her way downstairs to prepare her captives for what would hopefully be their last night in bondage. As much as she enjoyed her profession and this had been a great job all good things must come to an end. Reddick entered the room went to a draw and removed two diapers and cloths to use to refreshed up her two captives for the night and made her way between the two beds. As she prepared to remove Gillian’s gag Reddick was distracted as Lisa made a noise, as she spun to investigate taking her eyes from the first woman Gillian seized her opportunity and sprang into action. Gillian burst from the sleeping bag and lunged towards Reddick, with perfect timing Reddick turned back towards Gillian so that she could clamp the cloth covered in chloroform over the lower half of her face. So shocked was she at this Reddick made two mistakes firstly she hesitated which allowed Lisa to lean over, lock both hands around her waist and pull her backwards towards her and secondly Reddick took a deep breath inhaling a very large amount of the fumes from the chloroform placed on the cloth. Gillian pressed home the advantage that the surprise attack had given them. With the poise of someone with much more experience in this sort of thing she managed to gain her feet without ever letting the cloth move from the secure grip that it had over Reddick’s nose and mouth, letting no oxygen in leaving Reddick with no option but to inhale the fumes. Reddick knew she was in trouble, big trouble with Lisa locking her arms to her sides and the current angle of her body she could get no leverage to fight off the two attackers. Gillian knew what she was doing with that cloth, it was still damp and fresh meaning the fumes were pungent, Gillian had secured the cloth firmly over her nose and mouth so that Reddick had no option but to inhale the fumes. Reddick could already feel the fumes having an effect. She was going out and there was nothing that she could do about it. Her only chance was Gayle or Victoria hearing the attack on the monitor and rushing to her aid.

At that moment two floors above on the top floor of the flat Victoria rose and started toward the door and the stairwell. She had heard what she thought were unusual noises coming through the monitor and had decided to go and check it out.

Gayle was sitting in the dining room having positioned herself so that Victoria would have to walk past her to reach the stairwell. Gayle had thought this through and considered this the best way to tackle and subdue the larger and stronger Victoria. As Victoria walked past at a brisk pace Gayle though that it was now or never and extended her right leg, caught Victoria causing her to trip and fall onto the laminate floor. Swinging off the chair immediately Gayle dropped onto Victoria’s back forcing all of the air from her lungs next Gayle produced a chloroform soaked cloth from her pocket and clamped it over the lower half of Victoria’s face muffling her protests. The combination of forcing the air out of her lungs and being able to use all of her weight to pin Victoria down gave Gayle the advantage that she needed and she intended to press home that advantage. Gayle adjusted her grip so that the cloth was all but moulded around Victoria’s nose and over her mouth shutting off the oxygen, forcing her to breathe in the fumes that would bring forced sleep. Victoria did struggle but her position made that futile, Gayle dropping onto her back and forcing out the air from her lungs meant that she had no option but to take deep breathes inhaling fumes from the chloroform on the cloth. As the struggling lots its intensity and vigour Gayle continued to hold the cloth firmly in place knowing that any mistake now would prove fatal. Eventually the struggling stopped and all of the tension went from Victoria’s body. Gayle could tell from the rhythm of the other woman’s breathing that she was now enjoying the dreamland of the chloroform induced sleep. Removing the cloth from over Victoria’s face Gayle slipped it back into the pocket of her quilted jacket. Gayle stood up and grabbed a roll of silver duct tape from the dining table; crossing Victoria’s wrists behind her back she wound the tape around them about a dozen times. Gayle then used the tape to secure Victoria’s ankles and turned her over; tearing a strip from the roll of duct tape pressed it over the unconscious woman’s mouth. Gayle replaced the tape on the table and quickly removed anything within easy reach that Victoria could use to escape her bonds. Gayle also removed Victoria’s mobile from her pocket then took a moment to admire her handiwork. It was crude but it hadn’t taken long which at this point was important. Without a second though she turned and raced down the stairs where she hoped to find that two bound captives had become one.

Despite meaning that she would take deeper breaths and inhale more of the fumes from the chloroform soaked cloth Reddick felt that she had no option but to struggle and break free. Thrashing her head from side to side she tried to shake free of the cloth so that she could gulp in a fresh lungful of air but it was no use, Gillian had the cloth smothered securely over the lower half of her face like it was welded over her nose and mouth. Reddick could feel the fumes begin to have their effect on her. Her arms and legs were starting to tingle and her head was starting spin, a dark cloud was beginning to edge its way over her eyes. She had to try something so hoping to surprise her two attackers collapsed onto the floor and rolled to her left trying to make some kind of advantage. All three women crashed to the floor in a tangle of arms, legs and a restraining bag. The sudden and surprising move did give Reddick a small advantage as Lisa’s arms were no longer pinning hers to her side and the cloth was no longer pressed over her nose and mouth. Reddick had fallen onto her back with Lisa sprawled on the floor half wrapped in the restraining bag. Gillian had braced her arms against the bed and managed to stop her before landing on top of Reddick. The relief was short lived though as the fumes that she had already inhaled and slowed her reactions enough that Gillian was able to get to position on top of Reddick before she could react, Reddick went to scream for help but before any words could leave her mouth Gillian had managed to reapply the cloth over Reddick’s nose and mouth with her right hand muffling the scream and sentencing her to a silent fate of unconsciousness. Gillian used her left to hold Reddick’s arms above her head. Lisa was now lying on her legs and with nothing left to do Reddick had to lie and breathe in the fumes. It was not the first time that she had been chloroformed but it was the first time by a couple of amateurs that she had held captive.

As Gillian looked into Reddick’s eyes she could feel the fight leave her body. The chloroform fumes were doing their work and it wouldn’t be long until they were finished and Reddick was out. Gillian kept the cloth securely over the nose and mouth of her victim well after her eyes closed until the rhythm of her breathing changed and she was sure that Reddick was unconscious. Once Gillian was sure that Reddick was deeply asleep she dropped the cloth and slumped against the bed, her chest heaving with the effort. It was then that she remembered that she was currently heavily gagged. The fact that she had been constantly silenced for the past three days meant that she had become that used to it that she now didn’t give it a second thought. Just another of the weird things that she would have to get over after this nightmare was over. Gillian reached behind her head and undid the knot holding the large, silk scarf around her head in place. Next she found the end of the wrapping that had been placed around her head to hold the thick pad over her mouth in place and removed both this and eventually the pad. Finally she was able to use her fingers to remove the now damp, soft white cloth from her mouth. Gillian then moved across to Lisa and helped her remove her gag. Once both women were free of their gags they hugged.

“Thanks for that” said Lisa “What do we do now? Are the rest of them going to come down?”

“I don’t know about the rent of them but first thing is to secure that bitch. Give me a hand to lift her into my restraining bag on the bed” replied Gillian.

Lisa grabbed Reddick’s legs and Gillian under her shoulders as they lifted her onto the bed and into the restraining bag that Gillian had fully unzipped. Gillian turned to Lisa and said “I am going to find something to tie her with you see if our clothes are still in the room. I don’t want to walk around wearing a gilet and diaper for too long”

“I hope that was just a turn of phrase and the onset Stockholm syndrome or even worse a Freudian slip” commented Lisa as she searched through the contents of the room finally finding the cloths that they were wearing three days again.

“What do you mean Lisa?”

“I mean the use of the word my when describing that sleeping bag contraption that we have been kept encased in for the past three days” Lisa responded.

“Just a slip of the tongue Lisa, don’t worry. Although you have to admit that if you take away the bondage element they were soft, warm, smooth against the skin and comfortable. I know that is strange but I did find it not wholly unenjoyable experience”.

Gillian could fell the strange look that her friend was giving her but didn’t turn round as she didn’t want to encourage further conversation on the topic. Gillian found some rope in a bag and used it to secure Reddick’s wrists in front of her and also to tie her legs at the ankle and just above and below the knee. After some of the humiliating experiences Gillian had endured at the hands of this woman there was more that she wanted to do but now was not the time. Whist Gillian had been binding their captive Lisa had changed into her own clothes. Gillian turned as Lisa approached and handed her two cloths that she had found. Gillian stuffed the smaller one into Reddick’s mouth and then used the larger cloth to hold it in place but placing it between her teeth and tying it behind her head, an old fashioned cleave gag. Next she removed the gilet and diaper that she had been wearing and put on her own cloths. Gillian felt good but this was no time to relax then has to keep moving. It was then that Gillian heard the footsteps coming down the stairs. Whoever it was coming fast and getting closer. Signalling Lisa stand on one side on the door Gillian picked up the only weapon that she had, a cloth laced with chloroform and waited to see who was coming through the door.

As Gayle opened the bedroom door and took in the scene that greeted her, before she could make any calculations though she was grabbed from behind. Arms encircling her body trapping her own by her sides. Gillian they stepped into view from her right and without warning placed a cloth over her nose and mouth. Stunned Gayle took a breathe inhaling a good dose of the fumes, “Just relax and breathe deep” Gillian said. This was a bad situation Gayle tried to talk but her words were muffled by the cloth. She didn’t struggle as she didn’t want to hurt either of the women. Gayle locked eyes with Gillian and tried to communicate silently that she wasn’t a danger and wanted to talk. This tactic had better work as she could feel the chloroform starting to have an effect.

Gillian had pounced almost instinctively when the door opened and placed the cloth over the nose and mouth of the woman that entered the room. It wasn’t until a couple of seconds had past that she noticed that it was the woman called Gayle who had helped them escape. Next she noticed that Gayle wasn’t struggling but was staring straight at her from above the cloth, locking eyes trying to communicate something without words. It was then that Gillian made a decision, “Right as you helped Lisa and I am going to propose a truce for the moment” Gillian said without removing the cloth “if you don’t struggle and allow us to restrain you then I won’t put you out and then we can have a chat.” Gayle nodded slight and with a shrug of the shoulders towards Lisa the three women started to move awkwardly towards the bed. Gillian didn’t remove the cloth from over Gayle’s nose and mouth, she wasn’t taking any chances and wanted Gayle kept at a severe disadvantage until she was bound. As they got to the edge of the bed Lisa removed her arms and Gillian and Gayle sat down. Gillian could tell that the chloroform was now having an effect on Gayle by the way her eyelids were growing heavy. Gayle, with some effort, raised her arms in front of her for Lisa to bind. Lisa searched around and found a length of cord which she wrapped round Gayle’s wrists several times before tying. Lisa next used another length of cord to secure ankles. It was only then that Gillian removed the cloth and gently eased Gayle down whilst Lisa swung her ankles up and into the restraining bag. Once Gayle was lying in the restraining bag Gillian zipped up and locked the bag. Gillian could tell that Gayle was a bit fuzzy due to the chloroform and gave her a couple of minutes to recover before asking the question “Right, What exactly is going on?”

Gayle didn’t like the position that she found herself in. Locked in a restraining bag at the mercy of the two women but she hadn’t seen any other way at the time. Better this than lying unconscious. “Firstly before I start on the reason for being here there are a couple of issues that you have to deal with quickly if you aren’t planning to let me out of this any time soon.” Looking straight at Gillian she continued “your friend Rhiannon is restrained in the next bedroom. We had to grab her to avoid detection when we undertook the operation to your office.” Gillian jaw almost hit the floor when she heard this news and quickly turned to go to the aid of her friend “Wait, wait come back and let me finish this bit. I managed to get the jump on Victoria and bound her upstairs. I would suggest that you go get her, bring her downstairs and put her in the restraining bag once you have removed Rhiannon.”

Gillian paused with her hand on the door handle. Her initial reaction was to help her friend but she knew that what Gayle said was correct. Gillian turned and grabbed two cloths from a table and returned to the bed next to Gayle. Scrunching up one of the cloths she began moving it towards Gayle’s mouth and said “You are going to be gagged so open up and accept it like a professional. If you don’t its nap time. After what you have put us through over the past couple of days you shouldn’t really complain.” Gayle opened her mouth and let Gillian place the cloth in her mouth, then leaned forward to allow Gillian to tie a second cloth its purpose to keep the mouth packing in place, at the nape of her neck. Gayle groaned in frustration as she let her head fall back onto the pillow. Gillian looked around the room and picked up several cloths, a bottle of chloroform and some lengths of cord and headed for the door closely followed by Lisa. Pausing to glance at the door to the bedroom where her friend Rhiannon lay bound, gagged, confused and no doubt frightened she made a silent vow to free her as soon as possible.

Chapter 15

Gillian and Lisa entered the dining room find the tall blonde called Victoria on the floor writhing against her bonds, trying to get free. Victoria seemed to sense the two women entering, paused and raised her head to look at them.

Gillian took a step towards Victoria “Right time to move you downstairs and secure you properly. Any funny business and I will have no hesitation in applying a chloroform soaked cloth over your nose and mouth so behave like a good girl.” Waving the cloth in the air where Victoria could see it for added effect.

None of the women noticed the glow from the phone lying on the table as it registered the reception of a text message.

Lisa used a pair of scissors that she had brought from the kitchen to remove the tape that had been placed around Victoria’s legs. Lisa then helped Victoria to her feet whilst Gillian kept a safe distance should Victoria try anything. Once on her feet Lisa nudge Victoria toward the stairs. At a safe distance Lisa and Gillian followed the large blonde woman down the stairs. Once she reached the bottom Victoria stopped, Gillian stepped beside her and placed a hand on Victoria’s upper arm to guide her towards the bedroom where Rhiannon was bound. Opening the door Gillian pushed Victoria in first, lead her to the chair and pushed her down into it.

Rhiannon was lying staring at the ceiling wondering what was going on. Not that she had any choice in the matter in her current predicament. Despite her best attempts it seemed like her captor had been right. There was no escape from the bondage that she found herself in. Her arms and legs were securely bound and the sleeping bag like contraption that she had been placed in was tight against her, especially her upper body very effectively restricting her movement. Strangely despite the bonds she was not uncomfortable with the soft, smooth fabric of the sleeping bag and its padded filling leaving her feeling relaxed. The silencing gag was a bit more of a problem but she had got used to it. Like most women she had fantasies about being kidnapped, bound and gagged but the reality was different. The professional way that the two women at the office had used a chemical soaked cloth to abduct her had been a shock.

When the door to the room opened she tried her best to raise her head and look up but it was too greater effort. Rhiannon turned her head as someone walked to the side of the bed and paused. It wasn’t until the figure bent down that she registered that it was Gillian and she had a big smile on her face. Rhiannon was shocked to see her friend but her spirits were instantly lifted. Rhiannon looked on as Gillian unlocked the sleeping bag, unzipped it down to the bottom and threw the top of bag off her. Gillian then undid the various straps binding Rhiannon’s legs and arms. This allowed Rhiannon to swing her legs onto the floor and sit up for the first time in a while. Gillian reached around and undid the scarf tied at the nape of Rhiannon’s neck and removed the rest of the gag including the cloth from Rhiannon’s mouth. After working the feeling back into her jaw and arms Rhiannon stood up.

“Gillian thanks for getting me out of that”

“Not a problem” Gillian replied “I have a feeling that you getting into this position and the ordeal of the past day or so may have been my fault. In a roundabout kind of way”

“What is going on?” questioned Rhiannon of her friend.

“Haven’t got time to explain at the moment, it would take too long. Best keep that for another time over a bottle of wine…….or two………or three” replied Gillian surprised at how calm she suddenly felt and that she could attempt humour at the present time. “We have to secure Blondie over there and then have a word with another of our captors to try and get to the bottom of this situation”

Lisa took that as a queue and helped Victoria up from the chair and toward the bed where they planned to bind the woman. Victoria knew where this was going and had accepted the situation. Victoria settled on the edge of the bed as Gillian bent down to secure her legs with the straps that she had just removed from Rhiannon’s legs. Victoria started to make noises from behind the pate over her mouth, indicating with her head towards where Rhiannon was starting to put her clothes on. Gillian paused and was slightly perplexed until Lisa suggested “I think that she wants a diaper”. Victoria nodded her head confirming that Lisa had guessed correctly.

“Alright here’s the deal” started Gillian “if you relax and let Lisa knock you out with a chloroform soaked cloth without incident I will get you a nice fresh diaper and put it on to avoid any messy business. If you don’t behave I will aid the environment by recycling the one that Rhiannon is currently modelling so beautifully.” Victoria nodded her agreement. Gillian reached up, grabbed the edge of the tape over Victoria’s mouth and in one sharp movement ripped it off. Victoria opened her mouth to scream but that sound was muffled by the soft thick cloth that Lisa had clamped over her nose and mouth. Victoria didn’t react but just relaxed and started to shift the position of her body. At first Gillian thought that she was going to fight back and moved to assist Lisa but then she realised what Victoria was doing and motioned at her friend to relax a little and let her manoeuvre.

Victoria hadn’t been shocked by the appearance of the cloth. The amateurs had done alright so far and she wasn’t planning on fighting back or trying to escape, she was merely trying to get comfortable. The woman that held the cloth over her face has realised what was going on and had not fought as Victoria had turned her body, raised her legs onto the bed and put head on a pillow: if you were going to be rendered unconscious best to do so in comfort. Once Victoria had got her body into position Lisa basically straddled her so that she could keep the cloth over Victoria’s nose and mouth. Victoria relaxed and took deep breaths inhaling the sweet smelling chloroform fumes. The drug took slightly longer to work on her as over the years she had built up something of a resistance but Victoria knew that the drug would still knock her out without too much fuss.

Once Victoria was unconscious Gillian and Lisa manoeuvred her into the restraining bag and secured it. They could testify with first hand knowledge that there would be no escape. The final deed was to make sure that Victoria was gagged. Gillian didn’t think that there was any real need for this but couldn’t resist the temptation of some small measure of payback. Gillian stuffed a cloth into Victoria’s mouth and then used a scarf to secure it in place. Now that Victoria had been secured they could turn their attention to getting some answers. She only hoped that Gayle could provide them.


Chapter 16

Christina had texted Victoria when she was just ten minutes away from the flat. She had made the drop for the information that they had acquired during the operation and was starting to relax. Just another night at in the field and then they could have a celebration. Three of the team were booked on the early train. Reddick would stay behind to watch the captives and give them a head start; she would then follow using a hired car. The team would congregate at a pre arranged meeting point and travel back to base for a debriefing session. As she approached the turn into road where the flat was located she checked her phone again. The reply from Victoria with the all clear still hadn’t arrived. She was starting to get a bad feeling about this. Not pausing in stride she casually dropped her phone into a conveniently located bin and continued past the turn that that would take her back to the flat and walked on. Fastening her coat against the freshening breeze she quickened her pace slightly. It was time to switch to the back up escape route and leave the rest of the team to it. After all she thought the most important thing was the mission had been a success.
