Last Game of Spring (Part I)
During the last tie-up experience, Chester and Jay in cahoots with Henry (Angela's brother) managed to capture first Frank, then Angela in a Saturday afternoon. Then with Andrew and David, they captured Donald and me in the first game that Angela participated. And this occurred in the afternoon after the initiation of Angela!
Angela kept bugging Frank, Donald and me to get revenge the rest of the weekend on Andrew and the others. Yet as much as we would like to do that, the opportunity just didn't present itself. There was no tie-up game that Saturday, for we played non-tie up games during that time. We went to church Sunday morning, and our Dads took us on some quality time with them in the afternoon. And after that, we were burdened with so many chores that we didn't have any time for tie-up games.
The next week was also out. Summer vacation is fast approaching, and we had a series of tests and exams during the final weeks of school, so we did not have any free time. Most of us concentrated on our studies and other things, but not on our games. Angela would always ask me and the others when shall we attack, and I would always answer, "soon", which was, of course, a kind of non-answer.
As Friday approached, we discussed various plans on the next game. Angela, Frank, Donald, Betty and I met at Frank's house on Thursday afternoon to plan the next game. Angela trusts Betty and presumably would be on our side. Not only would we have to devise an effective plan, we also have the specter of Andrew and the others carrying out an attack before we could even mount our own hanging over our heads. If that were to happen, there is a 75 percent probability that they would win, just by looking at our past games. And based on that record, there is very little chance at us winning when we attack. In fact, only one of our attacks succeeded in producing a win. The other wins came after a failure of attack on Andrew and company's attack.
Angela, our newest member, wanted revenge and wanted immediately to attack. She probably was the most aggressive among us. She also didn't want to break any rules. So she kept pressing the rest of us to attack as soon as possible. She wanted Friday afternoon as the date for the attack. But Frank and I would not immediately go home because of some school responsibilities, and Andrew and David would come home at a much earlier time. And, we all know that to mount an effective Friday afternoon attack, one must get home first and attack as soon as the your target enters the house. So Friday is out. We then considered early Saturday morning. We then agreed that our attack would take place that day.
"So here's the plan," Frank said. "Angela would go to Tom's house at about six. Both of you will attack Andrew while he is still in bed. Remember, it must be a surprise. Frank and I will go to David's house and get him there, then we will march him to Donald's house. Betty would call Chet and Jay to come over. When they do, grab them and we'll have the game in the bag. Be sure to tie them securely so they won't escape. Any questions?"
"Isn't that a little bit too early?" Angela asked.
"Well, your initiation was a "bit" too early too! Anyway, Andrew usually wakes up very early at that hour, and if you still want to surprise him, you must attack that early." I replied.
"Why my house?" Donald asked.
"Because at Tom's house, his little brothers will be awake before we finish our game and we don't know whose side they will choose. And Ben, Maggie and Lucy (Donald's younger sisters) don't wake up that early. By the time they wake, the game will probably be over." Frank said.
"Alright! We have a plan. Remember, not a word to anyone!" I said.
Betty just sat there listening to us, often making a silly suggestion or two. We soon got annoyed and threatened to tickle her if she didn't shut up. That seemed to quiet her down a bit.
We wrapped up our meeting that Thursday afternoon and went home. Angela and I went to her house, where I did her homework. (The deal I did with Betty and Angela about doing their homework still is in force). I then went home and did my homework and studied for the tests the following Friday.
Friday afternoon. I felt great. I think I was able to ace all my subjects and tests, and there would be no more studying. And best of all, no more homework!!!! The next week would be the last week of classes, and I'm quiet sure there would be no homework and there would be very little studying needed. So I was very happy, and so were my classmates.
I met with the guys (and gal), and finalized our plans then went home. I felt that nothing could go wrong! So as soon as I gobbled up my dinner, set my alarm clock at six and immediately went to bed, eagerly anticipating our adventure tomorrow.
My alarm clock rang, and I woke up. To my horror, I discovered that the alarm has been moved to six thirty. I woke up, and saw Andrew and David standing over me. I was shocked! Our plan went to pieces before it even started. I also saw Donald, hands bound behind back, ankles crossed and bound, gagged with duct tape, and mouth presumably stuffed, seating at my chair. He was not bound to the chair, but just the same, he was going nowhere.
"Nice plan! But like all your other plans, they never work!" David mockingly said.
"What plan?" I asked, playing dumb.
"Don't play dumb. Barney told us everything. How Angela would come over here at six and attack me while I'm at bed and Frank and Donald would get David. Then Betty would call Chet and Jay over here to the trap!" Andrew responded.
I just sat there. Damn! Damn! I thought. But how did Barney know our plan? And what happened to the others? Those were questions that raced in my mind that morning.
"You know, I was planning to put on hold the rest of the games until summer vacation, but since you want to play, then we would oblige!!" Andrew said.
"Now what?" I asked.
"You know what's coming to you. Now will you come with us quietly or do you want to be dragged off kicking and screaming?" David asked.
"Like do I have any choice?" I responded.
"Yes. You can go with us bound and gagged in your pajamas that you're wearing now or you could change first and come with us bound and gagged." Andrew responded.
Do I have a choice? Of course I chose too change first to ordinary clothes.
"By the way guys, what happened?" I asked while changing.
"After I learned about you're plan, I called David, Chet and Jay. We decided to attack first. I reset you're alarm clock so that you won't wake up as early as you'd like to, and David and I went next door to capture Donald at six. Chet and Jay would take care of Frank!" Andrew explained.
"What about Angela?" I asked.
"Oh! We'll ambush her when we arrive. So far she has been late. Isn't she supposed to arrive at six?" David replied.
I finished changing. I wore shorts, a black shirt, and I wore white socks and brown rubber shoes. Meanwhile, Donald just sat in the chair bound and gagged during the entire conversation. He's not bound to the chair, but he cannot do much, for he's ankles are tied, and if can manage to hop around, the door is closed and the doorknob cannot be reached by his fingers because of the way he was tied up. So there isn't much he can do anyway.
"Okay, I'm ready!" I said after changing.
"Then turn around and put your hands behind you back." Andrew ordered me.
I did as I was told. My brother then took a five-foot piece of white rope and began wrapping the rope around my wrists, which was crossed and palm to palm. He wrapped it vertically and horizontally several times. He then cinched it and knotted it off. I don't know what knot he used but I sure can't reach it. The ropes were snug and a bit tight but not uncomfortable. Circulation is not cut off and my ropes are not painful to my wrists.
David then took a ten-foot rope and wrapped it several times around my waist. He then cinched it and knotted it off. Again, I didn't see what knot he used of the waist rope. The waist rope was tight in that in did not slide downward when pulled. It was not too tight, however, only snug. David then tied the free ends (which was still quite long) to my wrists. Again, the knots were out of reach of my fingers.
Andrew then took a longer rope and tied it to my upper body. He wound the rope around my upper body several times, and when he cinched it and knotted it off, my arms were pinned to my sides. He then took from his pocket a clean white sock. He wadded it up and told me to open my mouth. I reluctantly did and he inserted the sock in my mouth. He told me not to spit it while he prepared he duct tape. He then sealed my mouth with tape. Meanwhile, David untied the rope on Donald's ankles and helped him to his feet.
They then marched us to the living room. Mom and Dad were at the kitchen, preparing breakfast, while Betty, Barney, John and Lawrence are still asleep. They just told us to eat breakfast as soon as possible. They positioned in the couch in such a way that Angela would immediately spot us bound and gagged when she will arrive.
Angela arrived at our house at 6:45 am, forty-five minutes late. Andrew and David hid behind the door. She knocked and Andrew opened the door.
"Sorry guys for being late. I overslept and I..." she stopped when she realized Donald and I were tied up in the couch.
"W-w-w-w-w-h-h-h-h-h-a-a-a-a-t-t-t-t h-h-h-h-h-a-a-a-p-p-p-p-e-e-e-e-n-n-n-n-e-e-d to you guys? What is mmmmppphhh?!" she stammered asking the first question and was interrupted when Andrew grabbed her and clamped his hand over her mouth. She was clearly surprised, and fought and struggled against Andrew and David. That apparently did no good, and as soon as she realized her position was hopeless, calmed down. I looked at her and saw a puzzled expression on her eyes.
"Now we could do this the easy way, or we could do this the hard way. Now do want to do it the easy way?" David asked.
Angela mmmmpppphhhhed and nodded.
"Okay! Do exactly as we tell you, or we'll give you a hard time!" Andrew said.
He then released her from his grip and Angela then placed her hand behind her.
"Tie away!" she said, smiling. "Because it won't do much good. We'll escape and catch all of you and win!" Angela declared.
"We'll see, we'll see!" was my brother"s response. Andrew took a five-foot piece of white rope, the same kind he used on me and wrapped it around Angela's wrists. I can't see from my position how he tied Angela's wrist, but I can see from her face that the ropes were snug, tight, inescapable but not uncomfortable. David then tied a rope in her waist in the same manner as my waist rope was tied up. Andrew then tied longer piece of rope on her upper body in the same way that I was tied.
"Looks like your conspiracy went up in smoke!!" David commented while he was tying up Angela.
"How the hell did you know our plan?" she asked.
"Ask Tom when this is all over. I already told him what happened. I wouldn't want to repeat to all of you, would I?" Andrew replied. "Anyway, you talk too much!!"
"Guys, what mmmmppppppphhhhh?!" Andrew inserted a clean, wadded handkerchief in her mouth, cutting her off at mid-sentence. David, who had prepared the duct tape, sealed her mouth with it.
"Andrew, Tom, breakfast is served. Come and get it." Mom suddenly shouted
"We will Mom. We will!" Andrew said. With that, Andrew took hold of Angela and led her to the kitchen. David untied the ropes on my ankles and helped me to my feet. Then I was marched to the kitchen. Angela was being tied to the chair in front of the table by my brother, while Mom and Dad was sitting tight waiting for us to finish what we're doing. I was led to a chair opposite across the table to Angela, and I was tied there. David retied my ankles and took a long piece of rope and wrapped it around me and the backrest of the chair.
"Now how do you expect them to eat if they're all tied up?" Dad asked.
"We'll spoon feed them." Andrew cheerily replied.
"And how do you propose do get the food in their mouths if they're gagged?" Dad asked.
"Ah... we'll remove the gag, of course!" my brother replied.
"Well, in that case, enjoy your breakfast!!" then Dad broke into boisterous laughter.
Mom then asked the usual questions whether we consented to being tied up, whether we want to be untied and if this a game. We nodded at the first question, shook our heads to the second and nodded at the third question, indicating we want this to continue.
Meanwhile, while all this questioning is going on, David brought Donald in and sat him on a chair beside me. He tied him to it with a long rope. Andrew and David then removed our gags.
We then ate breakfast. We talked and chatted to each other about things other than being tied up as if there is nothing unusual about this. And David and Andrew always fed us what we requested, and gave us whatever we wanted. Mom and Dad just laughed and made some comments about it.
After eating breakfast, Andrew and David reggaged us. They then proceeded to help Mom and Dad do the dishes. After doing their chores, they untied us from the chair, and led us to the living room. Angela was made to lay on the couch on her stomach, and David took a short piece of rope and tied one end of it to her ankles and the other end to her wrists, hog-tying her. I was also hog-tied on the floor. Donald was lead to a post in the middle of the living room, where Andrew tied his knees, waist and upper body to the post.
By that time, I could see anxiety on Andrew's face. I don't know why, he's nearly got the game in the bag. I soon found out.
"Where is Chet and Jay Adams? They should have been here a half-hour ago with Frank!!" Andrew shouted.
It was already seven-thirty.
Finally, there was a knock on the ground. Andrew eagerly opened the door. And who should enter but Chester and Jay. There was no Frank, however.
"Where's Frank?" Andrew demanded.
"I don't know?" Jay replied.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"Well, Chet and I went to Frank's house at six and wait for him outside the door. We planned, as you suggested, to grab him as soon as steps out of the door. But he did not come out of the door. We waited and waited until seven-fifteen. Finally, Frank's Mom said emerged and told us that Frank had already left more than an hour ago. We asked what door did he leave. The front door she said. That puzzled us. I am at my wits end on what happened." Jay exclaimed.
I could see that Andrew is boiling mad and he's trying to suppress it. After listening to Jay, he shouted a curse, and he nearly exploded.
"Damn! How the hell could that happen? And where is Frank?!!" he exclaimed.
Angela, Donald and I just smiled under our gag. They haven't got victory in the bag after all. We could still win.
What happened to Frank? And will it lead to victory for us? Read the next part and find out!
