Arrested at the Halloween Party (FFFF/M)
"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Caitlin pleaded to her boyfriend Will.
"No honestly I'm ok. The last time we went to their halloween event the club was full of drunk 18 year olds who couldn't handle alcohol. And that was 2 years ago!" Will responded as he stood in the kitchen door way shaking his head.
"You say that as though we're 40!" Caitlin rolled her eyes as she prepared 4 gin glasses on the kitchen counter.
"We're only 26! Tell him!"
"Yeah, we're not ancient." Melissa laughed as she sat at the dinner table observing the bickering couple.
"Also, that guy tried to punch me last time! Remember?" Will continued.
"Oh yeah! Why was that?" Caitlin smirked, knowing exactly why.
"Because he kept asking me to say 'There's a snake in my boot' and I told him to piss off."
"Why?" Melissa blurted out, also grinning as she too was well aware as to the reason.
"Because I was dressed as Indiana Jones! Not Woody the f-in cowboy!" Will playfully ranted bringing a burst of laughter from both Caitlin and Melissa.
"Well at least this time Melissa can protect you!" Caitlin joked in a mock-babying voice.
"Yeah. I can protect you this time now that I'm officially in the police!" Melissa proudly smiled.
"Thanks John McClane." Will sarcastically quipped.
"How is work anyway?"
"It's fun. It's a small village I'm based in so most shifts are pretty quiet." Melissa sighed.
"Although yesterday I had to chase after a burglar and arrest them." she perked up.
"That's exciting!" Caitlin smiled over at her friend as she poured gin into the glasses.
"Yeah! I was running after him for about 20 minutes! With all of my kit on. I was sweating like crazy!" Melissa continued.
"Do you have a lot of kit to carry?" inquired Will.
"Yeah loads. I can show you some of it tonight before we go out." Melissa smiled.
"Oh really? So are you wearing your work clothes out for halloween?" Will chuckled at the thought.
"No no, I bought a police woman costume to wear. But my work kit is all upstairs. I came round to yours straight from my shift yesterday" Melissa explained.
A smile grew on Will's face. He had found an opportunity:
"So you didn't get a chance to go home first? To 999 Letsbe Avenue?"
He held back his laughter.
"What?" Melissa twisted her head in confusion.
"Get it? 999... Letsbe Avenue? Let's be having you? Like what the police say?" he chortled.
"Ughhh" Caitlin groaned in the background as she dropped ice into the gin glasses.
"That's awful!" Melissa scrunched her face up in disgust.
"No one says that anymore! And even if they did... terrible!"
"Be thankful you're only staying here for the weekend." Caitlin sighed.
"I have to live with him."
Melissa's face remained scrunched up in disgust.
"You poor thing. I need a double after hearing that" she pointed over to the gin glasses.
"Oh it wasn't that bad! Anyway, it's 6pm, shouldn't you 2 be getting ready?" Will shrugged, bemused at the reception of his joke.
"Is that the time?! They'll be here any minute!" Caitlin gasped as she leapt away from the kitchen counter.
The 2 girls quickly made their way upstairs to get changed into their halloween costumes.
---------------------------------------------------
20 minutes had passed since the girls went upstairs. Will sat in the living room awaiting their return and the revelation of his girlfriend's outfit.
Suddenly he heard their footsteps descending down the stairs.
In walked Caitlin. She was dressed in a tight black cat suit with a black hairband topped with 2 small furry ears perched on top of her long brown hair. A small cat tail dangled down from her butt.
"What do you think?" she smiled as she twirled.
"I think you should stay home tonight and Melissa should find a hotel" Will winked causing his girlfriend to blush.
Next came Melissa. Her police woman outfit consisted of a dark blue catsuit decorated with a police badge decal, shiny thigh high leather boots and a cap. Across her waist sat a belt.
"Yeah that's definitely not your uniform" Will laughed.
"There's no way you'd be able to chase someone for 20 seconds let alone 20 minutes!"
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"That'll be the girls, great timing!" Caitlin celebrated as she and Melissa made their way to the front door.
"I'll make myself scarce" Will quipped as he made his way to the stairs, hoping to avoid the excited squealing and awkward small talk.
"At least say hi to the girls!" Caitlin asked as she began to open the front door.
"Fine" he rolled his eyes, unable to say no to his girlfriend particularly when she was dressed in such a manner.
Caitlin pulled open the door, revealing her 2 friends stood outside, Julie and Laura.
"Hey!" 3 girls simultaneously squeaked, the cold autumn air evident in their breath.
"Hey gals! C'mon in!" Caitlin ushered the 2 girls inside.
First in stepped Julie dressed in a slim, tight fitting Gal Gadot style Wonder Woman costume. Her long curly black hair was swept back over her shoulders. She shuffled in quickly, shivering from the cold outside. Her dedication to authenticity had left her with her long bronzed legs exposed to the temperatures.
Julie was closely followed by Laura. The shyest of the 4. Often described as 'the geeky one' in their friendship group. She was quite a bit smaller than Julie, standing at 5foot 4 compared to Julie's 5foot 11. She was also quite curvy compared to the rest of the group.
She quietly shuffled in behind Julie. In complete contrast to Julie's bright and colourful costume, Laura stood in the hallway wearing a white collared black dress that came down to just above her knees. She wore dark tights that disappeared into a pair of black heeled boots. Her dark black hair was pulled into 2 pigtails, each sitting on either shoulder. She was dressed as Wednesday Addams.
"I love your costume!" Melissa squeaked as Julie stepped into the living room.
"Where did you get that?"
"Amazon?" Will guffawed to himself.
"Huh?" Melissa and Julie both looked at Will, their faces scrunched up.
"It's a Wonder Woman joke" Laura quietly giggled as Julie, Melissa and Caitlin exaggeratedly rolled there eyes in almost perfect synchronisation.
"Bye!" Caitlin jokingly waved to Will, signalling him to go away.
"Bye." he waved back as he began ascending the stairs.
"Hi girls, by the way!"
"Hey." Julie smiled.
"Hiya" Laura waved.
"Aren't you coming with us?" she added.
"Yeah, where's your Woody costume?" Julie added, bringing a smirk to Caitlin and Melissa's faces.
"Nah, he's being boring!" Caitlin groaned.
"Boo!" Melissa joined in.
"Bye!" Will waved and continued up the stairs.
---------------------------------------------------
2 hours had passed since the arrival of Julie and Laura.
Downstairs Will could her the sounds of the girls in the kitchen, pouring yet another round of gin and lemonades. He decided to venture downstairs.
"Hey, when are you guys going into town?" He asked as the girls came back through into the living room.
"I dunno, we might phone a taxi soon." Caitlin responded, looking around the room for agreement.
"I hope the taxi drops us close to the club. It's freezing outside!" Melissa moaned.
"You'll freeze to death!" she pointed towards Julie's bare legs.
"I've brought tights with me for when we go. But they probably won't do much." Julie agreed, holding up a pair of scrunched up tights from her bag.
"It'll be warm in the club though" Laura added.
"I'm pretty hungry." Julie moaned.
"I'm kinda tired after work yesterday. Especially after I had to chase that guy for 20 minutes." Melissa joined in.
"We could always just not go to the club and have a halloween party here instead?" Caitlin suggested, enthusiasm growing in her voice.
"Means we don't need to pay for a taxi into town and back. And we don't have to deal with annoying 18 year olds?"
She turned to Will to gauge his re-action. He looked at her and shrugged, somewhat annoyed that he'd no longer have the house to himself even though he planned on spending the entire evening in 1 room upstairs anyway.
"I'd be up for that?" Julie perked up.
"Yeah me too" Melissa smiled.
"I guess we could do that?" Laura nervously smiled, somewhat let down.
"Awesome! Shall we get some food then?" Caitlin clapped as she stood up.
"What does everyone fancy?"
"I could go a..." Melissa began before Will interrupted:
"let me guess, you want the classic police dinner?" he grinned.
"Err? What's that?" Melissa questioned as the room braced itself for another one of Will's awful puns.
"Doughnuts?" Julie whispered quietly, prompting a frown in her direction from Melissa.
"Irish stew..." Will proudly announced before pausing for the response. The room was silent.
He looked around at everyone's faces, their jaws open in confusion.
He tried again:
"Irish stew... I arrest you..."
"Wow" Julie whispered.
"Really? Babe that's... that's just terrible" Caitlin giggled through her sigh.
Laura giggled quietly to herself.
The room all turned to face Melissa who remained silent.
"D'ya know what..." she barked as she stood up off the couch.
"For that..." she reached behind her back and unclipped something from her belt.
"I'm placing you under arrest." from behind her back she revealed a pair of rigid handcuffs grasped in her fist.
Caitlin, Julie and Laura all giggled as Melissa stood up from the couch and marched over to Will.
"What? Errr? I was..." Will stuttered as she approached. He held up his arm to hold her back.
In a flash she slapped the handcuffs onto his extended arm and pulled it up behind his back.
Next she wrapped her leg around his and pushed him forwards, lowering him slowly down onto the carpet.
Will frantically waved his free arm about but before he knew it, Melissa had grabbed it and slapped it against the handcuffs, locking it in place. He lay there on the floor with his arms secured parallel a few inches apart across his back in a box tie shape.
"Haha ok... Ehm... sorry?" Will nervously pleaded. His lack of struggling showed he was willing to play along with Melissa.
Caitlin, Julie and Laura got up off the couches and stood behind Melissa, watching as she grasped onto the handcuffs keeping Will's arms still.
She pulled pack on the handcuffs.
"On your feet" she commanded as he slowly lifted up so that he stood on the floor facing away from the girls.
"Are those your actual handcuffs?" he asked Melissa.
"Yep, standard issue." she smiled from behind.
"What? No pink fluffy ones?" he smirked.
"Sorry, I left my pink fluffy ones back home at 999 You're-Under-Arrest avenue or whatever it was. Maybe next time." Melissa quipped back at her captive. Will shook his head in mock disappointment.
Still grasping the handcuffs in one hand, Melissa placed her other hand on Will's shoulder and began moving him towards the stairs.
"The wardrobe upstairs in your bedroom, how big is it?" She turned to Caitlin.
"Eh... big enough to stand inside" Caitlin shrugged.
"Excellent." Melissa smiled as she began marching Will upstairs. The other girls followed, still giggling at the show Melissa was putting on. Will bowed his head, performing the role of a defeated prisoner.
"You girls take him to the wardrobe. That's his cell. I need to grab some things from my kit." She ordered.
Julie's hand replaced Melissa's grasp on the handcuffs as Caitlin walked ahead and opened the wardrobe. Laura followed behind giggling quietly.
"In you go" Julie cackled as she pushed Will into the open wardrobe.
Suddenly Melissa re-appeared clutching the utility belt from her actual police uniform.
"Have a seat please" she ordered Will as she pressed down on his shoulder giving him no choice but to sit on the floor.
"Make yourself comfortable. You'll be here a while" she smiled.
Will sat down with his legs stretched out. He tried to lean back against the wall of the wardrobe but having his hands tightly cuffed behind is back prevented him from leaning fully back.
"For how long?" Will quivered, still playing a long but also genuinely curious.
"Until you learn." Melissa sharply responded. Will frowned at the vague response from his captor.
She placed the belt on the floor and knelt down next to Will.
From the belt she opened up a small pouch and drew out a rolled up strip of material.
She unravelled the strip and began winding it around Will's ankles.
After wrapping 4 times, she yanked the strip tight, pulling his ankles tight together, then pulled the strip back on itself revealing a velcro side. She tightly pressed the velcro ends together securing the strap.
"Are these a part of your equipment too?" Will asked as Melissa pulled out a second strap and began wrapping it around his legs just below his knees.
"Yep, leg restraints." Melissa smiled as she finished wrapping the second set and tightly fastened them.
She pulled out a third strap and began wrapping it around his legs again, this time above his knees.
“How many of them have you got?!” Will’s voice cracked as he tried to remain in character but hints of worry crept into his voice.
“Not enough.” Melissa barked as she fastened the 3rd strap.
“Lucky for you, I’ve only got 3 of them. Otherwise you’d be in trouble!” She glanced up at him and grinned.
Will gulped.
"That's the first time I've used them since my training." Melissa admired as she tugged on the straps to check their tightness.
Will wriggled his legs as much as he could: not at all. His legs moved as 1 solid lump, lifting them up slightly then slumping them back down onto the carpet.
"Looks like you haven't forgotten your training." he nervously smiled at her.
“Uh huh.” Melissa confidently nodded.
Suddenly Caitlin interrupted:
"Is this also a part of your equipment?"
Will leaned forwards and peered out the wardrobe door where Caitlin, Julie and Laura formed a semi-circle around the doorway.
Caitlin held out her hand, her finger extended out and dangling down swung a roll of thick clear cello tape.
"It is tonight." Melissa cackled.
Will looked up at Caitlin. He felt betrayed as he watched his girlfriend's grinning face wink at him whilst he sat there handcuffed and leg strapped. He couldn't help but feel that Melissa and Caitlin's exchange felt a little rehearsed.
"Wait... that's not fair!" He groaned, the prisoner act completely gone now.
"Cello tape isn't a part of your equipment!" he argued, his hands pulled against the handcuffs.
Melissa ignored his complaints as her hand reached for something outside of the wardrobe door and Will's view.
"Well here's something that's definitely a part of my uniform..." she menacingly smirked.
Her arm dragged back into the wardrobe, her fist clenched. The 3 girls outside the wardrobe leaned in, each of the beaming with excitement.
Melissa held her clenched fist up to Will's eyes and slowly opened it up. Will's eyes stared intensely as he desperately looked for what was on her palm.
Finally, her fist opened and up sprang 2 crumpled up, woolly, black crew socks.
"No way! I draw the line!" Will threw his head back, protesting the inclusion of Melissa's socks.
"There's no wRRRMMPGHHH"
His protests were cut short as Melissa seized the opportunity to stuff her socks into his mouth whilst he protested.
Her hand pushed both socks inside his open mouth then quickly clamped flat over his lips.
"MRRPGHGHH HRRRMPGHHHH! MRRGPHHH!" Will grumbled as he frantically tried to pull his head away from Melissa's hand.
Standing in the doorway Caitlin peeled off the end of the cello tape and stretched it out. She leaned forwards towards Will's face and prepared the tape.
In a flash, Melissa's hand drew back off Will's mouth allowing Caitlin to slap the clear tape onto Will's cheek and drag it across his sock packed mouth.
Caitlin pulled Will's head forwards and began winding the roll of tape around the back of his head then back over his mouth several times.
"MRRGPGHHH!!! HRRMGGHH RRGMPHH!" He continued to growl. His legs lifted up and slammed into the floor several times.
After 5 or 6 complete wraps around his head, Caitlin bit the tape off the roll and gently patted it down against his cheek.
All 4 girls giggled at the sight of Will's mouth wrapped under layers of clear tape, his lips stuck slightly apart allowing a small glimpse at the 2 socks packed inside. Melissa leaned back and admired her prisoner.
"There we go. It was your mouth that got you into this mess babe. So be thankful we've done something to stop you making things worse!" Caitlin proudly smiled as she gazed down at her captive boyfriend.
"HRRRRMGGPHH!" he huffed back up at her.
"I don't know why you're moaning! Those socks are definitely a part of my uniform!" Melissa taunted.
"In fact those are the very socks that I wore yesterday when I chased that burglar for 20 minutes!"
"You should be honoured!" Julie chuckled.
"I know! That's my blood, sweat and tears that you've got in your mouth there!" Melissa agreed, tapping her finger on the clear tape gag.
"Mainly sweat." she giggled.
"Hrrrmpghhh" Will calmed down, nodding in agreement with Melissa's statement. His tongue had unfortunately gotten sandwiched between the 2 socks as they were forced into his mouth. Every millimetre of his tongue was in contact in the sweat scented socks. He tried to wriggle it free but it seemed no matter where he moved his tongue, he could always taste the salty flavours of the socks.
"Consider the taste a metaphor for your poor taste in jokes!" Melissa cackled before turning her attention to the utility belt on the floor. She lifted it up and opened the large pouch located on the back, revealing it to be empty.
"Ah bugger!" she huffed, throwing the belt back down onto the floor.
"What's up?" Julie asked her friend.
"I must have left my spit hood back at the police station." Melissa groaned in disappointment. Will's shoulders dipped as he sighed in relief.
"Spit hood? What the hell is that?" Julie scrunched her face in confusion.
"It's a hood to stop criminals spitting. Obviously." Caitlin chuckled as she rolled her eyes at Julie's stupidity.
"Oh. I've never seen one of them before?" Julie shrugged.
"It's like a soft material bag that you put over a criminal's head. They can still see through it, but it stops them being able to bite or spit at you." Melissa explained as she slumped back against the wall, still disappointed.
"Like a pair of tights?" Laura interjected.
"Erm... yeah sorta I suppose." Melissa nodded.
"Julie, you brought tights with you? Didn't you?" Laura playfully reminded everyone.
"HRRRMGGPHH!" Will shook his head, sitting up off the wall.
"I did indeed!" Julie perked up, pulling the tights out from her bag that she still wore across her body.
"MRRGPHHH HHRRMMPGHH!" Will continued to furiously shake his head. He stopped and looked over at Laura, frowning intensely at her. She looked back at him and shrugged, with a half smile on her face.
Melissa sprung back up onto her knees in excitement as Julie handed her the folded up tights.
"Ooh! Fantastic idea Miss Addams!" she celebrated as she enthusiastically unwrapped the tights and held them up, allowing the legs to dangle down.
Will's eyes looked up and down inspecting the length of the tan tights. Julie had pretty long legs so the tights stretched all the way down to the floor.
"Righto, let's get your spit hood on you!" Melissa stood upright and pulled open the tights.
Slowly she pulled them down over Will's head. She began pulling 1 of the legs down, scrunching the tights up at Will's shoulders.
Will shut his eyes as the material pulled down against his eyelashes.
"Mrrpghh!" he groaned as the tights continued to slide down.
Finally he felt the foot of the tights pulling against the crown of his head. He opened up his eyes, his eyelashes fighting against the fabric.
Suddenly everything was hazy. He looked around, looking up at the 4 girls.
"Hrrmphh!" He wheezed a pathetic plea.
"Perfect!" Melissa smiled, turning and high fiving each of her friends.
"C'mon in a second guys." she gestured to the 3 girls to enter the wardrobe.
The 3 girls shuffled in and stood side by side, tightly packed against each other. Melissa stood in front of them, her legs spread slightly apart to allow Will's restrained legs to pass between them.
Will gazed up through the haze of the tights, bemused by the ridiculousness of the entire situation. Before him in this small wardrobe stood Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Wednesday Addams and a Police Woman.
Melissa spoke:
"Will, we hereby find you guilty of telling terrible jokes and sentence you to a minimum of a few hours handcuffed and leg strapped in this wardrobe."
Will rolled his head as he tried and failed to shift the tights hood off his head.
Melissa continued:
"If there is anything you wish to say at this time, I strongly recommend you don't bother as none of us will be able to understand you due to the fact you are gagged."
"Hrrmphh" Will huffed at the taunting. The girls giggled behind Melissa.
Melissa finished:
"I do hope you use this time wisely and reflect on your decisions to tell such awful jokes. We will return when we decide you have been aptly punished. See ya!"
Slowly the girls left the wardrobe, Laura first followed by Julie then Caitlin.
"HRMMPHH!" Will huffed as his girlfriend exited.
"Bye babe, have fun!" Caitlin's voice called from outside, growing quitter with each word.
Finally Melissa made her way out the door, turning and glancing back at her prisoner one final time before quickly slamming the door shut behind her.
"HRRRMGPHH!!!!" Will screamed, muffled by the tights, as the wardrobe descended into darkness. He paused. and listened to the fading voices turn into footsteps heading back downstairs. The footsteps eventually faded away. Will's hooded head slumped back against the wall as he huffed at his helpless predicament.
To Be Continued...
This is just a short story idea I had and decided to post here. It will only be 2 or 3 parts long. I've already got the entire thing planned out, just need to type the rest of it up.
Please do let me know your thoughts on the first part! It's my first time writing in 3rd person on here so I'm eager to know what you all think.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Caitlin pleaded to her boyfriend Will.
"No honestly I'm ok. The last time we went to their halloween event the club was full of drunk 18 year olds who couldn't handle alcohol. And that was 2 years ago!" Will responded as he stood in the kitchen door way shaking his head.
"You say that as though we're 40!" Caitlin rolled her eyes as she prepared 4 gin glasses on the kitchen counter.
"We're only 26! Tell him!"
"Yeah, we're not ancient." Melissa laughed as she sat at the dinner table observing the bickering couple.
"Also, that guy tried to punch me last time! Remember?" Will continued.

"Yeah. I can protect you this time now that I'm officially in the police!" Melissa proudly smiled.

A smile grew on Will's face. He had found an opportunity:
"So you didn't get a chance to go home first? To 999 Letsbe Avenue?"
He held back his laughter.

"Sorry, I left my pink fluffy ones back home at 999 You're-Under-Arrest avenue or whatever it was. Maybe next time." Melissa quipped back at her captive. Will shook his head in mock disappointment.
Still grasping the handcuffs in one hand, Melissa placed her other hand on Will's shoulder and began moving him towards the stairs.
"The wardrobe upstairs in your bedroom, how big is it?" She turned to Caitlin.
"Eh... big enough to stand inside" Caitlin shrugged.
"Excellent." Melissa smiled as she began marching Will upstairs. The other girls followed, still giggling at the show Melissa was putting on. Will bowed his head, performing the role of a defeated prisoner.
"You girls take him to the wardrobe. That's his cell. I need to grab some things from my kit." She ordered.
Julie's hand replaced Melissa's grasp on the handcuffs as Caitlin walked ahead and opened the wardrobe. Laura followed behind giggling quietly.
"In you go" Julie cackled as she pushed Will into the open wardrobe.
Suddenly Melissa re-appeared clutching the utility belt from her actual police uniform.
"Have a seat please" she ordered Will as she pressed down on his shoulder giving him no choice but to sit on the floor.
"Make yourself comfortable. You'll be here a while" she smiled.
Will sat down with his legs stretched out. He tried to lean back against the wall of the wardrobe but having his hands tightly cuffed behind is back prevented him from leaning fully back.
"For how long?" Will quivered, still playing a long but also genuinely curious.
"Until you learn." Melissa sharply responded. Will frowned at the vague response from his captor.
She placed the belt on the floor and knelt down next to Will.
From the belt she opened up a small pouch and drew out a rolled up strip of material.
She unravelled the strip and began winding it around Will's ankles.
After wrapping 4 times, she yanked the strip tight, pulling his ankles tight together, then pulled the strip back on itself revealing a velcro side. She tightly pressed the velcro ends together securing the strap.
"Are these a part of your equipment too?" Will asked as Melissa pulled out a second strap and began wrapping it around his legs just below his knees.
"Yep, leg restraints." Melissa smiled as she finished wrapping the second set and tightly fastened them.
She pulled out a third strap and began wrapping it around his legs again, this time above his knees.
“How many of them have you got?!” Will’s voice cracked as he tried to remain in character but hints of worry crept into his voice.
“Not enough.” Melissa barked as she fastened the 3rd strap.
“Lucky for you, I’ve only got 3 of them. Otherwise you’d be in trouble!” She glanced up at him and grinned.
Will gulped.
"That's the first time I've used them since my training." Melissa admired as she tugged on the straps to check their tightness.
Will wriggled his legs as much as he could: not at all. His legs moved as 1 solid lump, lifting them up slightly then slumping them back down onto the carpet.
"Looks like you haven't forgotten your training." he nervously smiled at her.
“Uh huh.” Melissa confidently nodded.
Suddenly Caitlin interrupted:
"Is this also a part of your equipment?"
Will leaned forwards and peered out the wardrobe door where Caitlin, Julie and Laura formed a semi-circle around the doorway.
Caitlin held out her hand, her finger extended out and dangling down swung a roll of thick clear cello tape.
"It is tonight." Melissa cackled.
Will looked up at Caitlin. He felt betrayed as he watched his girlfriend's grinning face wink at him whilst he sat there handcuffed and leg strapped. He couldn't help but feel that Melissa and Caitlin's exchange felt a little rehearsed.
"Wait... that's not fair!" He groaned, the prisoner act completely gone now.
"Cello tape isn't a part of your equipment!" he argued, his hands pulled against the handcuffs.
Melissa ignored his complaints as her hand reached for something outside of the wardrobe door and Will's view.
"Well here's something that's definitely a part of my uniform..." she menacingly smirked.
Her arm dragged back into the wardrobe, her fist clenched. The 3 girls outside the wardrobe leaned in, each of the beaming with excitement.
Melissa held her clenched fist up to Will's eyes and slowly opened it up. Will's eyes stared intensely as he desperately looked for what was on her palm.
Finally, her fist opened and up sprang 2 crumpled up, woolly, black crew socks.
"No way! I draw the line!" Will threw his head back, protesting the inclusion of Melissa's socks.
"There's no wRRRMMPGHHH"
His protests were cut short as Melissa seized the opportunity to stuff her socks into his mouth whilst he protested.
Her hand pushed both socks inside his open mouth then quickly clamped flat over his lips.
"MRRPGHGHH HRRRMPGHHHH! MRRGPHHH!" Will grumbled as he frantically tried to pull his head away from Melissa's hand.
Standing in the doorway Caitlin peeled off the end of the cello tape and stretched it out. She leaned forwards towards Will's face and prepared the tape.
In a flash, Melissa's hand drew back off Will's mouth allowing Caitlin to slap the clear tape onto Will's cheek and drag it across his sock packed mouth.
Caitlin pulled Will's head forwards and began winding the roll of tape around the back of his head then back over his mouth several times.
"MRRGPGHHH!!! HRRMGGHH RRGMPHH!" He continued to growl. His legs lifted up and slammed into the floor several times.
After 5 or 6 complete wraps around his head, Caitlin bit the tape off the roll and gently patted it down against his cheek.
All 4 girls giggled at the sight of Will's mouth wrapped under layers of clear tape, his lips stuck slightly apart allowing a small glimpse at the 2 socks packed inside. Melissa leaned back and admired her prisoner.
"There we go. It was your mouth that got you into this mess babe. So be thankful we've done something to stop you making things worse!" Caitlin proudly smiled as she gazed down at her captive boyfriend.
"HRRRRMGGPHH!" he huffed back up at her.
"I don't know why you're moaning! Those socks are definitely a part of my uniform!" Melissa taunted.
"In fact those are the very socks that I wore yesterday when I chased that burglar for 20 minutes!"
"You should be honoured!" Julie chuckled.
"I know! That's my blood, sweat and tears that you've got in your mouth there!" Melissa agreed, tapping her finger on the clear tape gag.
"Mainly sweat." she giggled.
"Hrrrmpghhh" Will calmed down, nodding in agreement with Melissa's statement. His tongue had unfortunately gotten sandwiched between the 2 socks as they were forced into his mouth. Every millimetre of his tongue was in contact in the sweat scented socks. He tried to wriggle it free but it seemed no matter where he moved his tongue, he could always taste the salty flavours of the socks.
"Consider the taste a metaphor for your poor taste in jokes!" Melissa cackled before turning her attention to the utility belt on the floor. She lifted it up and opened the large pouch located on the back, revealing it to be empty.
"Ah bugger!" she huffed, throwing the belt back down onto the floor.
"What's up?" Julie asked her friend.
"I must have left my spit hood back at the police station." Melissa groaned in disappointment. Will's shoulders dipped as he sighed in relief.
"Spit hood? What the hell is that?" Julie scrunched her face in confusion.
"It's a hood to stop criminals spitting. Obviously." Caitlin chuckled as she rolled her eyes at Julie's stupidity.
"Oh. I've never seen one of them before?" Julie shrugged.
"It's like a soft material bag that you put over a criminal's head. They can still see through it, but it stops them being able to bite or spit at you." Melissa explained as she slumped back against the wall, still disappointed.
"Like a pair of tights?" Laura interjected.
"Erm... yeah sorta I suppose." Melissa nodded.
"Julie, you brought tights with you? Didn't you?" Laura playfully reminded everyone.
"HRRRMGGPHH!" Will shook his head, sitting up off the wall.
"I did indeed!" Julie perked up, pulling the tights out from her bag that she still wore across her body.
"MRRGPHHH HHRRMMPGHH!" Will continued to furiously shake his head. He stopped and looked over at Laura, frowning intensely at her. She looked back at him and shrugged, with a half smile on her face.
Melissa sprung back up onto her knees in excitement as Julie handed her the folded up tights.
"Ooh! Fantastic idea Miss Addams!" she celebrated as she enthusiastically unwrapped the tights and held them up, allowing the legs to dangle down.
Will's eyes looked up and down inspecting the length of the tan tights. Julie had pretty long legs so the tights stretched all the way down to the floor.
"Righto, let's get your spit hood on you!" Melissa stood upright and pulled open the tights.
Slowly she pulled them down over Will's head. She began pulling 1 of the legs down, scrunching the tights up at Will's shoulders.
Will shut his eyes as the material pulled down against his eyelashes.
"Mrrpghh!" he groaned as the tights continued to slide down.
Finally he felt the foot of the tights pulling against the crown of his head. He opened up his eyes, his eyelashes fighting against the fabric.
Suddenly everything was hazy. He looked around, looking up at the 4 girls.
"Hrrmphh!" He wheezed a pathetic plea.
"Perfect!" Melissa smiled, turning and high fiving each of her friends.
"C'mon in a second guys." she gestured to the 3 girls to enter the wardrobe.
The 3 girls shuffled in and stood side by side, tightly packed against each other. Melissa stood in front of them, her legs spread slightly apart to allow Will's restrained legs to pass between them.
Will gazed up through the haze of the tights, bemused by the ridiculousness of the entire situation. Before him in this small wardrobe stood Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Wednesday Addams and a Police Woman.
Melissa spoke:
"Will, we hereby find you guilty of telling terrible jokes and sentence you to a minimum of a few hours handcuffed and leg strapped in this wardrobe."
Will rolled his head as he tried and failed to shift the tights hood off his head.
Melissa continued:
"If there is anything you wish to say at this time, I strongly recommend you don't bother as none of us will be able to understand you due to the fact you are gagged."
"Hrrmphh" Will huffed at the taunting. The girls giggled behind Melissa.
Melissa finished:
"I do hope you use this time wisely and reflect on your decisions to tell such awful jokes. We will return when we decide you have been aptly punished. See ya!"
Slowly the girls left the wardrobe, Laura first followed by Julie then Caitlin.
"HRMMPHH!" Will huffed as his girlfriend exited.
"Bye babe, have fun!" Caitlin's voice called from outside, growing quitter with each word.
Finally Melissa made her way out the door, turning and glancing back at her prisoner one final time before quickly slamming the door shut behind her.
"HRRRMGPHH!!!!" Will screamed, muffled by the tights, as the wardrobe descended into darkness. He paused. and listened to the fading voices turn into footsteps heading back downstairs. The footsteps eventually faded away. Will's hooded head slumped back against the wall as he huffed at his helpless predicament.
