Beauty and The Best - Country House (MF/MFmf)

[KP Presents]

“It’s a beautiful day for a trip to the country,” Tom said as he opened the door to the train carriage and stepped out, his partner Barbara following him. Both were dressed for the autumnal weather – Tom was wearing a black gilet over a black jumper, dark pants and black walking shoes, while Barbara was wearing a denim jacket over a tight black sweater, the lower half of her black leggings tucked into a pair of over the knee black suede boots with a flat heel.

They looked along the platform, Tom carrying a black holdall before they left the station and looked along the main street of the small town. They then walked along, looking in some of the store windows and talking to each other before they walked into the surrounding country, stopping as they looked up the driveway of a large house, the driveway lined with oak trees on which the leaves were turning brown.

“So,” Tom said quietly, “this is where we recoup some of the costs, right?”

Barbara nodded as she took the black cap Tom handed her, and placed it on her head, then they both runed onto the driveway, keeping to the sides as they made their way to the house, and stepped to the side of the garage…



“Someone’s at the door Dad,” Alan Craig said as he heard the loud knock. The eleven-year-old boy was sitting at the dining table, working on a set of maths questions as his five-year-old brother Brad sat next to him, drawing a picture. The two boys were wearing checked shirts – Alan wearing a red and white checked shirt with his sleeves rolled up, Brad a long sleeved blue and red checked one – as well as jeans and brown shoes.

“I’ll see who it is,” Geoff Craig said as he dried his hands and left the kitchen. The forty-year-old had short, cropped hair and a beard the same shade of brown as Alan, and was wearing a red sweatshirt, jeans and black shoes. Taking a handkerchief from his pocket, he removed his glasses and wiped the lenses, and then put them back on before he opened the door.

“Can I…”

“Yes, you can. Please, raise your hands in the air and walk slowly back.”

Geoff slowly backed up as the young couple walked in. they had black leather gloves on their hands, black woollen hats on their heads – and black eye masks with the skin noticeably darker under the material. Both of them were pointing guns at him, the man holding a black holdall.

“What is this,” he whispered as the girl closed the door.

“This? This is a robbery,” the man said as he smiled. “Do as we say nobody gets hurt. Now, who else is at home at the moment?”

“My… My sons, they’re doing their homework… Please don’t hurt them…”

“We’re not going to hurt them,” then woman said, “but you and they are going to do exactly what we tell you, aren’t you?”

Geoff looked at the masked intruders, and said “who are you?”

“Oh, forgive me – I am The Best, and this is Beauty. Now, turn round and take us to your sons.”

Geoff slowly turned round, his hand sin the air as he walked into the front room. Alan and Brad looked over, Alan’s face paling as Brad shouted “DAD!”

“Boys,” Geoff said quietly, just do what they tell you to do, all right?”

They watched as the masked man put the bag he was carrying down, opening it and taking out a length of rope as the woman took several more lengths of rope out and walked over. “Hello,” she said with a smile, “you can call me Beauty, and my friend with your father is the Best. What do I call you?”

“Alan… Brad…”

“Well, Alan, Brad, I need to be honest with you – we are robbers, and we are here to rob your parents. Now, that means we need to make sure you both do as we say and stay where we can see you. Is this your homework?”

“Yes…”

“Okay, well, homework is important, so you need to finish it. While you to that, I’m going to make sure you stay in these seats until you are done.”

“You’re going to tie us to the chairs?”

Beauty nodded as she doubled over a length of rope, and then passed it round Alan’s waist, pushing him against the chair back before she used a second length of rope to bind his ankles together, and then a third to secure his legs below his knees. She did the same to brad, as Best took Geoff’s hands behind his back and bound them tightly together with the rope.

“Where is the rest of your family, Geoff,” he said as he passed a longer rope round the man and forced his arms against his sides.

“Out for a walk.”

Best looked over at Beauty, who nodded as he secured the bands of rope, and then said “have a seat, Geoff – we need to make sure when your wife and daughters get back, they get a lovely surprise…”



Gina Craig watched, her arms folded and a smile on her face as her seven-year-old daughter Joy kicked at the leaves. She had her long light brown pulled back under a white hair clasp, and she was wearing a red dress with a white belt and white flowers, white tights and black Mary Jane shoes.

“Hey – not too much longer it’ll be lunch time soon,” Gina called out as her older daughter Moira came down the path. She was wearing a denim jacket fastened over a light purple dress, a woollen scarf wrapped loosely round her neck, and light brown biker boots with her long white socks visible over the top. Her long blond hair fell freely over the back of her jacket as she said, “do you think the boys will have finished their homework?”

“I hope so – but we do need to head back,” Gina said as she ruffled Moira’s hair with her hand. She had long dark brown hair and was wearing a dark blue cardigan over a white top, her jeans tucked into knee high tan leather boots with a matching belt fastened round her waist.

“Okay Mummy,” Joy said as she ran over, the two girls holding their mother’s hands as they kicked up the leaves on the path back to their house.

As they walked up the driveway, Moira said “what can we do after we eat, Mum?”

“Well, your dad was going to take the boys to the game, so we have the house to ourselves. Why don’t we have a girl’s afternoon in?”

The two girls nodded as they walked to the front door, Gina opening the door as the two girls ran in. “Hey – you boys not gone yet,” she called out as she closed the door – and then she walked into the room, stopping as she saw the masked blonde-haired woman with her gloved hands over the mouths of both the girls.

She also saw George sitting in an armchair, a white scarf pulled between his lips as he struggled in the rope that held his arms to his sides and his legs together.

“Hmhmhmmm.”

She slowly turned her head to see Alan and Brad sitting at the table, working on their homework, but also with white scarves pulled between their lips.

“What’s going on?”

“Hello Gina,” the masked woman said, “don’t be afraid, Best and I have no intention of hurting you or any of your family. We do need to ensure you do what we ask you to do and stay where we need you to stay. Have we hurt you, boys?”

Alan and Brad both shook their heads as she said, “if I take my hand away, are you going to call out or make any more noise?” Gina watched as Joy and Moira both shook their heads, Beauty taking her hands away as they ran over and hugged their mother.

“I know we’re scary,” Beauty said as Best walked behind Gina, and took her hands behind her back, “but I promise you, this is not going to hurt. We just need to make sure you can’t tell anyone we are here.”

“But we were going to have a girly afternoon…”

“You still will,” Beauty said as she brushed Moira’s hair from her face, “just a different one. Now, my friend is going to make sure your mummy is just like your daddy – do you trust me to make sure you two stay in the same place for the moment?”

“I don’t want my hands behind my back,” Joy whispered.

“I won’t do that – why don’t you both go and sit on the couch, and I’ll show you what I am going to do.”

“Go – go and sit down girls,” Gina said, smiling at them as she felt the rope pressing her arms against her sides. Moira and Joy walked over and sat down as Beauty took two long ropes from the bag and sat next to Moira.

“Can you cross your wrists for me?”

As the young girl did that, Beauty wrapped the rope around and between her wrists to hold them firmly together, and then put them down on her lap before she took the rope down and secured her legs together below her knees. She then took the rope further down, and tied it round her ankles, before she tied the ends together and left the ends dangling down.

“Does it hurt?”

Moira shook her head as Beauty moved to sit next to Joy. “Your turn now – cross your wrists please.”

As she started to secure the younger girl, Gina was helped to sit next to her husband by Best, who then knelt down and pulled the rope tight round her booted ankles. “How long have they been here,” she said as she looked at her gagged husband.

“Chpllhfhrs.”

“What do they want?”

“Thrhhbbhss,” Geoff said as the rope was then pulled round his wife’s legs below her knees, Gina looking over as Beauty gagged her daughters with two more white scarves.

“Why? What do you want our money for?”

“To survive – now, open wide. I can then prepare some food for the children and you both.”

“You prepare fhhdhfhhsss…” Gina’s words were muffled as the white scarf was pulled between her lips and tied around her head, before she looked at Geoff, the scarf noticeably darker at the corners of his mouth.

“There – now just relax, while I sort out some food for you. Best darling – ensure the telephone and internet is disconnected, will you?”

“Of course,” the masked man said as he stood up and made his way out of the room, Beauty smiling as she looked at the family.




“Fhhhnhhhk you,” Brad said as the scarf was removed from his mouth, and he looked round the table. The rest of the family were now sat in the chairs, their arms free but their waists tied to the chair, as Beauty placed finger food on plates in front of them.

“What’s going to happen to us,” Gina asked as she looked at Best.

“For now, pass the plates around,” he said with a smile, “and enjoy the food. After that, we are going to make sure you and the girls are comfortable in the front room, and the boys can watch the game in another room. Once we have had a chance to go round the house with you, Geoff, you will join the boys.”

“And then you will go?”

Beauty smiled as he said “well, we shall see. Eat up.”

“Are you boys all right,” Geoff said as he looked at his sons.”

“Yeah – what’s it like Dad?”

“What?”

“Having your hands tied behind your back. I get the feeling we will later as well.”

Geoff looked round the table, especially at his daughters, and said “they’ve kept their word so far, and not hurt us. If that is what they are going to do, then let them do it, all right?”

Joy slowly nodded as she swallowed some food and said, “if you say so daddy.”

“You will be with me, honey,” Gina said as she reached over and stroked Joy’s hair, “so don’t worry, I will keep you safe.”

“Why are you robbing us,” Moira said as she looked at Beauty, “you seem too nice to be a bad robber.”

“Why thank you,” Beauty said with a smile, “but the truth is, Moira, we do this because we have to.”

“You have to hold families hostage,” Geoff said angrily.

“We have to find the resources to live, so yes, we take from those who can afford it and make sure they cannot get hurt or stop us.”

The Craig family looked at each other, before Alan said, “you need to steal to live?”

“Yes,” Best said as he looked at the older boy, “we steal to eat, stay warm, pay bills. No more, no less.”

“You’re serious, aren’t you?”

Beauty and Best nodded as the family slowly continued to eat…



“There – comfortable?”

Gina looked to one side where Moira was sitting, and then to the other side as Joy looked up. She then twisted her legs, Moira doing the same as they heard the sound of leather rubbing on leather, while Beauty pulled the white scarves back between their lips, keeping them quiet as they all wriggled on the couch. After the meal, they had been allowed to go to the toilet, before they all had their wrists secured together behind their backs. They then had sat on the couch as Beauty secured their ankles and gagged them.

“So, the Barbie movie?”

“Yhssplhlsss,” Gian mumbled as she turned the television on, while Best escorted Geoff, Alan and Brad to another room. They had their wrists tied together in front of themselves, the boys with the white scarf between their lips bur Geoff was free to say, “when I go with him, just stay where you are, all right?”

The two boys nodded as they sat themselves in two large bean bag seats, Geoff watching as Best secured their legs together at their ankles and below their knees, then tied their wrists down to their knees, before he turned on the large screen television on the wall and found the correct channel.

“Whllchsshuhhohdhd,” Alan said, Brad nodding in agreement as Best took their father out of the room.

“Your office first I think – you can give me the combination to the safe I am sure you have in there,” he said, Geoff nodding as he walked to another door and waited for Best to open it. He took a seat at the desk and gave Best the combination, before he said, “you were serious weren’t you- you do this to pay your bills?”

“That’s correct Geoff,” Best said as he took some rolls of notes and placed them in a bag. “I truly wish we did not feel we have to do this, but it is necessary.” Standing up, he helped Geoff to stand and said “thank you. Now, take me to your bedroom, and make sure you tell me every place you keep valuables in…”

“All right – you’ve kept your word so far, I’ll keep mine,” Geoff said as they walked up the staircase…

“Htsshnnhhldhd,” Brad said as Geoff came into the room, and sat in the comfortable chair, Best securing his ankles and legs before he gagged their father and he settled to watch the game. As he came out and closed the door, he saw Beauty helping Joy to hop back into the room.

“Comfort break?”

“Comfort break. Got much?”

“A goodly amount…”





“I – well, we – want to ask a favour of both of you,” Gina said as the family sat in the front room. It was starting to get dark outside, and they had been untied and allowed to have a drink.

“Oh – and what is that favour,” Beauty said as she looked round the room.

“Well – we know you have to make sure we cannot raise the alarm before you go,” Geoff said, “but we were wondering if the girls could be with their mother in one room, and the boys in another.”

Beauty and Best looked at each other and said, “if that is truly what you want.”

“It is – and we know you have to make it tight, but please can we have our wrists in front of us,” Joy asked, Moira nodding in agreement.

“All right then – we can do that for you,” Beauty said with a smile. “If you ladies have had enough, then out your hands up in the air and cross your wrists.”

“You’re all being very brave,” Geoff said as Gina watched the masked woman take the rope around and between her wrists, holding them together and tying the ends off out of reach of her fingers before she did the same to Moira and Joy. The girls then watched as she took a longer length of rope, doubled it over, and passed it round their mother’s body, pulling it tight under her chest as her arms were forced against her body.

“Wow – are you going to do that to us as well,” Moira said as Beauty took the rope around Gina, above and below her chest.

“Yes, I am – ready?”

“As for you boys,” Best said as Geoff, Alan and Brad put their cups on the low table, “lean forward and pout your hands behind your back.”

As Geoff felt the rope forcing his wrists together, he looked at his sons and said, “we’ll see who can get free first, all right?”

“You’re on Dad,” Alan said as he felt his own wrists being bound together, then looked over as Brad bit his lower lip and allowed Best to secure his wrists behind his back.

He then gasped as the ropes went round his body, pulling his arms against his sides as Best made tow bands and then tied them off behind his back. Alam was looking at his mother and sisters, the two bands of rope round their upper bodies as they wriggled round as well, barely noticing as his own arms were secured in the same way.

As Geoff felt Best securing his arms, he looked over and smiled as he said, “I guess given we’re not going to be able to move or talk easily, this isn’t too bad.”

“Could be worse,” Gina said with a smile as Beauty helped the girls to stand up, and Best the boys with Geoff. They then walked up the stairs, Best carrying the bag as they entered their parent’s bedroom.

“Why don’t you three go on the bed – Mum in the middle, and the girls either side,” Beauty said, Best indicating Geoff, Alan and Brad should stand against the wall as he put the bag down and removed more ropes. Gina sat on the bed and then pushed herself back so she was sitting in the middle, Moira sitting on one side and Joy on the other.

Beauty came over and took the ropes from Best, placing them on the bed before she crossed and tied Joy’s ankles together, and then secured her legs together below her knees. She then helped the young girl to lie down, her head on the pillows before she ran a rope from her wrists to her ankles.

She then reached over and secured Gina’s ankles and legs in the same way, waiting as she slid herself down before she tied the rope from her wrists to her ankles. Walking to the other side of the bed, she secured Moira in the same way, all three wriggling round before she went back to the bag and took out a wide roll of white tape.

“Are you going to put that over our mouths,” Joy whispered.

“Yes, I am – it will not hurt or harm you, but tit will keep you quiet,” Beauty said as she peeled as strip away and tore it off, then pressed it down over Joy’s mouth with her gloved fingers.

“Joy?”

“Hshshkhmhm,” the younger girl said, her lips moving under the tape as Beauty gagged Moira, and then their mother with the tape, before Best checked the ropes.

“I’ll out the radio on – stay there, stay calm,” he said, Gian nodding as she kissed the heads of her daughters and then watched the two robbers take her husband and sons out of the room.

they walked into another bedroom, as Best took some pillows from the bed and put them on the floor. “Lie face down with your heads on the pillows,” he said, Geoff, Alan and Brad kneeling and then lying down as Beauty handed her partner the ropes, and he crossed and secured their ankles together, as well as their legs below their knees.

He then said to Geoff “raise your head, before he pressed the white tape down over his mouth, strips going over the mouths of Alan and Brad as well before he bent the legs of the boys at a right angle and tied their ankles to their chest ropes. He bent Geoff’s legs back further and placed him in a tighter hogtie, the boys rolling onto their sides and looking at their father as Beauty looked out of the window, and then at the clock by the bed.

“We need to make a move,” she said quietly, Best nodding as he picked up the bag.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Geoff,” he said as the two masked robbers left, all three of them listening to the footsteps on the stairs and then the door opening and closing. Geoff started to writhe round, trying to find a loose rope as the boys watched him, but with no success.

“Hddhwhghtghrdhd,” Alan asked as she twisted his body round.

“Hdhnnhtknhhh,” Geoff said as he looked at his sons, and then said “hsshhthnchmhfhrthbl?”

The two boys shook their heads, before they heard someone jumping and looked to the door, seeing the door come slowly in before Moira jumped in, smiling under the tape as she said “thrrhhnbhrddsrhm.”

She jumped over and pushed herself onto the bed as Joy and Gina jumped in, Gina’s eyes opening wide as she saw her husband and sons hogtied on the floor. She jumped over and sat herself down on the floor by their heads, as she said “whghtbhrrhdd – shwhwhtdhwhdhnh?”





“That’s right, officer – we saw a car driving away from the Craig home, and the man driving has some sort of mask on. You should send an officer there.”

Tom ended the callas Barbara rested her head on his shoulder. “Well, how long do you think?”

“Probably another hour before they get there and free them – we’ll be back in town before that,” Tom said as he kissed Barbara’s head. “By the way, I have another target in mind in case we need to go again.”

“Oh – is this one in the country?”

“No, but we need your motherly skills to come to the floor. The lady of the house is about seven months pregnant…”
