______________________________________________________
The drive home to Astrid's house was tense. Alone in her car driving down an isolated road, she felt as though she were being watched. On the passenger seat was a USB stick which she had taken from the headquarters of a large pharmaceutical company. At such a late hour, the building itself was relatively empty, making it much easier to pose as a janitor and use her lock picking skills to get into an office on the top floor. As an independent investigative journalist, sneaking around wasn't new to her, but the scale of what she would uncover, was. She had plugged the USB into her laptop and found mountains of files where she found information about the companies profits, profits which did not match the reported profits, which lead Astrid to the realisation that the company was money laundering.
Astrid knew that she would need more people in order to full uncover what was on the USB stick, but for the present, the USB would be too dangerous to have on her. Astrid pulled over along side a barren field of grass, she put the USB into a plastic tupperware box and walked into the field. By-hand, Astrid dug a small hole into the ground where she put the box. She covered the hole in dirt and packed it tight ensuring it blended in with the surrounding soil. She committed the holes location to memory, a difficult task in the near pitch-black however nearby road signs aided in her efforts.
Soon after, Astrid got back into her red Hyundai and drove off back to her house. As she entered her house, Astrid had the eerie sense that she was being watched. She set her keys down on a table, kicked off her shoes and took out a bow in her shoulder high blonde hair. Due to it being so late, Astrid decided to quickly send an email from her computer to her friend regarding the USB drive and head to her bed. Constantly being set off by every creak made by the house, she looked over her shoulder in her living room which was solely illuminated by the dull glow of her computer monitor. She heard a door handle twitch which set her off, peering into different rooms around her small bungalow before making her way back to the computer in her living room, sitting in her small wooden chair facing the computer.
Wanting to send the email fast, Astrid took no time to load up her email 'Sandra, I must talk to you urgently, I found a' Astrid wrote before hearing a floorboard squeak just behind her, before she could turn around, a black glove went over her mouth. The blonde woman attempted to stand up before being held down by the intruder, the gloved man kept Astrid's mouth shut with his right hand and restrained her body with his left hand going over Astrid's soft red shirt which went down to her chest. A second set of hands forcefully gripped Astrid's arms and pulled them behind the small chair before zipping shut a white cable tie around her wrists.
"Don't squeal" hushed the first man who reached into his pocket with his left hand. Astrid in the moment gave no verbal protests due to the shock of her situation. A third man reached under the chair and took hold of Astrid's legs which hoovered above the ground as she was a relatively small woman only measuring at 5'2". The third intruder grabbed the bottom of Astrid's black yoga pants and used a white zip tie to bind her ankle to the leg of the chair before repeating with the other ankle. Astrid wriggled her legs in an attempt to free them while another zip tie locked shut beneath her breasts, holding her arms and her torso to the chair.
The fabric of her red t-shirt wrinkled, the restraint so powerful around her chest that breathing out became a challenge. "gnnnmmn!" The woman softly cried out as the glove remained over her lower face, a faint whisper being all that she could muster as a call for help. The first intruder with his hand over the woman's mouth pulled a long white rag from his left pocket, pulling it behind the woman's teeth and rigoursly tying it before pushing her head forward. Astrid clenched her teeth against the white cloth before closing her lips entirely and looking around to see her captors. The gag pushed down on Astrid's silky golden hair leaving large knot the back of her head that the intruder had created, the knot resembled the bow that she had had in her hair previously.
"Face her to me" barked a woman wearing a light brown shirt, a black pencil skirt, tights and high-heels. One of the men effortlessly picked up the chair and turned it 180° to face the three men and the woman. The men were each wearing black shirts with accompanying black trousers with the same black leather gloves, almost as if they were clones of eachother.
"Now. Astrid Smith. Let's cut to the chase, we know who you are; mother, journalist and now... Thief?" Said the woman as she slowly matched around the chair that her captive was restrained to, "We know that you took a USB drive from the CFO's office and we know... That you know... What kind of information is on that drive. So why don't you tell us where it is and save us from turning your house upside down?" Said the tall, redheaded woman as she looked down at her terrified captive. The redhead bent down to Astrid's eye level, "If I remove the gag, will you scream?" Asked the woman. Astrid slowly shook her head in fear, her green eyes locked onto the woman's.
The redhead stood up straight and pulled out Astrid's gag with her middle finger, "HEL-rrmmmnn" Astrid screamed in desperation, unable to move from her restraints. The woman clamped her hand down over Astrid's mouth, "Bad start. Let's try again" the woman said before releasing her grip. Astrid gasped, "Who are you?" She demanded. The woman stepped back, "who I am doesn't matter, what does matter is where you put that USB drive, now where is it" the woman said in a more angry tone. Her guards watched on as she paced back and forth for a short period of time, "look, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Which will it be" the redhead said with anger in her voice, "think about your daughter... Only nineteen years old, her life is just begining" the woman added, "How about you? Retired at from your job as a police officer at just forty? I'm jealous. Tell us where that drive is and you can get back to enjoying your early retirement." She said while the saliva soaked cloth hung around Astrid's neck.
At the mention of her daughter, a flash of anger washed over Astrid, "I'll never tell you where that drive is you piece of sh-" Astrid said before being gagged once again by the thin white cloth. The tall woman looked down smugly at her captive and back at her guards, "hard option it is. Get her ready to go in the trunk and we'll turn this place upside down in the morning" she said with delight in her voice.
The men cut Astrid loose from her bondage and man-handled her to the floor where a black zip-tie bound her wrists behind her. "Gmmnnrr!" Astrid shouted through her gag while she struggled on the carpet. More black zip-ties were secured above and below her breasts as well as her thighs and ankles. One of the men forcibly folded Astrid's legs up and connected the leg and wrist restraints putting her into a tight hogtie. Astrid wriggled around and struggled on her stomach while the men got the car ready, the woman took a roll of duct tape handed to her by one of her men.
The tall woman untied the rag from Astrid's head and stuffed it into her mouth. Astrid lifted her chin up from the floor and looked her captive in the eyes, "we can't have you screaming in that trunk, can we?" the woman said as she unravelled some silver tape. Astrid with her mouth gaping from the cloth, pleaded with her eyes before closing them and feeling the tape smooth against her lips. She could only listen as the deafening sound of the unravelling tape surrounded her head. Before long, the lower half of her face was caked in the silver stuff, not even a whimper could escape Astrid's lips.
The woman grabbed Astrid's cheek boones, "if you can make any noise through that I'd honestly be impressed" she said, satisfied with her work, "get her in the trunk" she said to one of her men. One of the guards effortlessly picked her up like a bag of grapes and carried her to the car, "gnnnmmmphhh!!" Astrid screamed and thrashed against her restraints as the trunk closed on her.
