Chapter 5 - Finishing the process
The intruder sat on the couch; he was observing me and keeping his gun ready. I could have sworn that he had a very faint smile on his face and that he was enjoying this very much.
“What are you waiting for, Mr. Wheat? Do you need some… encouragement?â€
“That won’t be necessary.†I replied coldly.
I grabbed several coils of rope from the duffel bag and placed them next to my son. I knelt close to him and put his legs parallel to each other. Fortunately, Taylor was very calm and was cooperating with me, so at least I didn’t have to use any more force on him than it was necessary. I looked at his roped up upper body for a moment, then got to work on his still free limbs. I took one coil and started tying his legs together, starting from his thighs. I knew the intruder was watching, so I had no choice but bind the kid as well as I could. First I wrapped the rope around his right thigh twice, just under his buttocks. Then I moved the rope under his butt, wrapped it around his abdomen and over his wrists three times. Next I went under his butt again, tied the rope around the boys’ left thigh twice, then over both of his legs tightly before I finally moved the loose ends of the rope up to Taylor’s crossed wrists and cinched the knot there. I made sure it’s neat, tight and far beyond the reach of his fingers.
“Great work, Mr. Wheat! Are you sure it’s the first time you tie your son up? For me it looks like you’ve been doing this for quite some time; this roping is excellent…â€
I looked at the guy and felt the rage boil up inside me. It was bad enough that I was forced to restrain my own son, but now the bastard was making it even worse. If Taylor’s life wasn’t at stake, I would definitely charge at the intruder and beat the shit out of him. The guy must have spotted the fury in my eyes, but didn’t react in any way. From what I could understand being in control was giving him a lot of fun. Maybe he was just testing me and checking how far he can go with this. We kept staring at each other for several moments before he said:
“I suggest you finish binding you buy, Mr. Wheat.â€
I closed my eyes for a second to calm down a little bit and turned to my son again. He was lying there patiently, waiting. He was sweating like crazy, but remained quiet and motionless. Of course, he was testing his bonds, but, unfortunately for him, I knew well what to do with rope and how to fasten things with it. No matter how much he would want to free himself it wouldn’t be possible without help.
“You hanging there, kiddo?†I dared to ask in a sympathetic tone.
“I’m fine Dad, don’t worry.†He answered quietly, but his voice was firm and steady.
For a moment I thought the intruder would be mad, but when I cast a glance in his direction I didn’t notice anything. I sighed quietly and grabbed three more coils of rope. I used the first one to tie Taylor’s thighs together, just above his knees. I wrapped the rope around his right thigh twice, then moved to the left one. Then I wound it over both of his legs, tightening it a little after each wrap. Finally I cinched the knot, making sure the rope would stay where it was supposed to stay. Then I repeated the process, using the rope to bind his calves and ankles together. When I was working on his ankles I also wrapped the rope around his feet. When I finished, the boy was completely immobile; the only parts of his body he could use freely were his toes and fingers.
“Finished?†The intruder asked.
“Yes.â€
“No, but we’ll come to that in a minute. Now sit on the couch with you arms behind your head while I check the bonds.†He ordered and got up.
I put my arms and on my nape and did as ordered. The guy want to my son and squatted next to him. I watched him inspect the ropes and the knots; he was definitely looking for some flaw, but I was sure I hadn’t made any. The intruder spend some time checking my boy’s restraints before he stood up; he seemed satisfied with my work.
“Your rope skills are impressive, Mr. Wheat. But there are two more issues we need to take care of. First, I want you to hogtie the kid.â€
“Why?! He’s not going anywhere!†I snapped back angrily.
“Because I want him to be hogtied. Do you need any more reasons?†He asked in a deadly serious tone.
“No….â€
The guy moved away from my son and invited me with his hand to get to work. I got up from the couch and looked for a very long piece of rope in the duffel bag. When I found it I folded it in half and went behind my son’s feet.
“Sorry, son….†I whispered.
“It’s ok. I understand, Dad.â€
I bent his bound legs and forced his heels against his buttocks. I wrapped the rope around his ankles and sat on his shins. The kid yelped quietly, but I ignored it; if restraining my son was the price I had to pay for saving his life I intended to do so. To make sure the hogtie would remain as tight as possible and nothing would get loose, I connected Taylor’s ankles to the rope wrapped around his thighs first. Then I went around the ankles again and tied them to his wrists. Finally I wrapped the rope around his ankles one more time and moved the loose ends of the rope to his elbows. When I cinched the knot, the hogtie was complete and absolutely inescapable.
“If you ever decide to quit your current job, we would gladly hire you, Mr. Wheat…†Said the intruder with a smidge of impression in his voice. Then he added:
“Now take off your boots and socks.â€
I knew well what he was up to and I didn’t like the idea. But I had no choice: I did what he ordered and put my shoes off and then my socks. I peeled the moist, filthy material from my feet and placed it on the shoes. The moment I revealed my socks the strong and cheesy smell filled the room; I’ve been working in them for several weeks, so they were really worn out, dirty and drenched with my sweat.

“Oh man, those socks could work as a biological weapon… You know what to do, Mr. Wheat.â€
I did. I knelt near my son’s head and lifted it a little. I took on sock and started pushing it into my boy’s mouth. He coughed and moaned into it; the taste must have been even worse that the smell, but it didn’t matter. The sock was quite big and it took me some time to finally force it behind my son’s teeth. When I was done he had his eyes shut tightly and was breathing heavily through his nostrils.
“Now the second one.†The guy ordered
“What?! His mouth is already full!†I protested loudly.
“His head will be full with something else if you don’t comply, Mr. Wheat.â€
“Fuck…â€
I grabbed the second sock and started pushing it into Taylor’s mouth. Unfortunately I couldn’t fit it the normal way, so I had to find another method to complete my son’s gag. I inserted my fingers into his mouth and squashed the first sock against my son’s left cheek. This allowed me to slide the other sock into his mouth. When I removed my fingers, his mouth was fully filled with my putrid socks.
“Now take the tape from the bag and wrap it around his mouth. 15 layers at least. I’ll be counting.â€

I moved the bag closer and took the roll of super wide, grey duct tape. I unwound some and plastered it on Taylor’s cheek. I wrapped it around his head and over his mouth 20 times, making each wrap tight as hell. When I finally ripped the tape off and plastered it on his face, he was almost completely silenced; there was no way he could do more than pitiful moans and grunts.
“Good job, Mr. Wheat. Now we can move to the next step of the plan….â€
