The Games Players: Having Fun (MF/Ffm)

[KP Presents]

“Are you having fun then?”

“Yes Mummy,” Ron and Elsa said as they twisted round on the bed, while their older sisters looked up from the floor. As their mother looked at her partner, I watched Janna as she peeled the white tape from the roll and pressed it down over their mouths, while I thought back to a couple of hours beforehand…


Ever watch Hometown? It’s one of those afternoon soap operas on a TV channel, and one of the stars of that particular entertainment is a woman called Jill Sovereign. She lives in a large home outside a Midlands town with her partner, a keep fit influencer called Helga Madsen, and their four children from previous partnerships – seventeen-year-old Gail and Sharon, eleven-year-old Elsa and eight-year-old Ron. Given the location, and the number of people we would have to ask to play, I asked Janna to accompany me on the visit – which is why we were both parked outside the entrance to their house, on a particular Saturday lunchtime.

We were dressed in black – sweaters, pants and shoes for me, leggings and knee length boots for Jana, gloves – and as we got out of the car and made our way up the driveway, we each took out a dark stocking an dulled them down over our heads, making sure we tucked the edges under the neck of our jumpers.

We looked at each other before I opened the door and we both slipped inside, closing the door as we listened for a moment. There was certainly noise coming from upstairs, but we could also hear music from a downstairs room. We could also hear someone talking, so we quietly walked along, Janna watching as I opened the door and looked in.

“So, remember, when I finish a workout, I always rehydrate with PureTaste – I suggest you do as well. Thanks for watching everyone – stay fit!”

I could see Helga standing in the centre of the room, her light brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, and wearing blue top and black cycling shorts. She was speaking into a camera, so I felt it only right and proper that we allow her to finish her recording, turn the equipment off, and allow her to refresh herself with something from the bottle before I opened the door and said, “Good workout?”

Helga stared at me with the bottle at her lips, before she slowly lowered it and said “shit.”

“Not very influencer like language, Helga,” I said as Janna and I walked in. “Now, please disconnect the equipment before we do anything else, then stand with your hands behind your head.”

“Who are you?”

“We,” Janna said “are the ones asking you to do what we tell you to do – and the ones who are going to make sure you, and nobody else in this house, can stop us while we rob you. The choice you have to make is, do you cooperate, and everyone stays calm, or do you resist and then there are - problems.”

“You don’t... You would not…”

“Think of it this way,” I said as I watched her pull wires from the back of the camera, “we’ll make it a game for everyone, especially the younger ones.”

“A… Ah. Right.” Helga nodded as she wiped her face with a towel, and the stood with her hands in the air. Janna then went behind her, slipping her rucksack off and taking some white rope from it before she crossed the woman’s wrists behind her back and started to bind them tightly together.

“Let me guess – I’m the one to tell the kids this is a game. Jill’s daughters will never believe it.”

“I’m not asking you to tell them this is a game,” I said as Janna passed a longer rope round Helga’s body and forced her arms against her sides, “I’m asking you to ask them to pretend this is a game as well.”

Helga looked at me and then slowly nodded as Janna secured the chest ropes behind her bag. “Well then,” she said, “shall we visit your stepdaughters first?”

As we got to the top of the stairs, we could now hear the sounds were coming from two rooms. Listening to door of one of them, Janna smiled and nodded, so we made or way along to the other room.

I opened the door, and as we came in, we saw the two seventeen-year-olds inside. They both had long dark brown hair, one of them sat at a desk and wearing a tight V-necked pale blue sweater and a knee length black skirt, the other wearing a black jumper and purple skirt and sitting on the bed.

As I closed the door, they both turned and looked at us, the one on the bed slowly standing as she said “Helga, what is going on?”

“Sit down Sharon,” Helga said quietly, “and you stay sitting Gail. I need to talk to you and explain what is happening.”

“What’s happening? These masked freaks have tied you up is what’s happening,” Gail said as she looked at us. I raised an eyebrow as Janna said “Well, we have tied your stepmother up but trust us – we’re not freaks. We are, however, robbing you, and that means everyone has to be secured – which means you need to listen to Helga very carefully.”

The teenagers looked at each other as Helga took a deep breath. “She’s telling the truth – they are robbing us; they are going to tie you up as they have tied me up – more in fact. The thing is, girls, they are going to do this to everyone – including Elsa and Ron.”

They looked at me as I said “we have no desire to upset anyone, or cause more problems – to do that, your little brother and sister need to believe they are playing a game with you – so you are going to act as if this is a game booked by Helga and your mother.

“Aren’t you?”

Helga looked at them as she said “Please – I don’t want them to get hurt or worse.”

“Yeah – yeah, all right,” Sharon said quietly, “but we stay with them, keep an eye on them.”

“That is part of the plan,” I said as Janna stood with Helga. “So now, stand up, turn round, and I am going to make you very secure and comfortable.”

Helga watched a is started with Gail, crossing her wrists behind her back and securing them tightly together with the rope, before I framed her chest with the two bands that held her arms tightly against her sides. She then gasped as Janna tied a rope behind her back, fed it under one arm and pulled it up and around the back of her neck, while she watched me do the same.

I then secured Sharon in the same way, the two girls looking at each other as Gail said “are you…”

“Yeah – it feels different,” Sharon said as they were turned round and saw how the new ropes forced their stepmother’s chest up and out.

“Your mother and I are – going to have a chat about this with afterwards I suspect,” Helga said quietly as she tried not to move. “Now what?”

“Now,” I said as I retrieved two scarves from the rucksack, “we make sure you remain silent players, and go and talk to the other children.”




When Janna opened the door and walked into the other room, we saw Elsa and Ron sitting on the bed, watching as television on which I could see Mario Kart 8. Elsa had long brown hair, which fell over the shoulders of her white polo shirt, while her brother was wearing a striped polo shirt over a white vest. Both of them were wearing jeans, both of them were barefoot, and both of them looked at Janna as she said “hey – who’s winning?”

“Who are you,” Ron said as he looked at us, “and why do our sisters have that scarf between their lips?”

“Well,” Janna said, “that’s to make sure they stay nice and quiet – you see, your mums have asked us to come and play a very special game with all of you, isn’t that right Helga?”

“That’s right,” Helga said as she looked at the two younger children, smiling. “They are pretending to be robbers, and they are going to make sure we all cannot stop them as they pretend to rob us.”

“Like when Mum did that series on the show, Mummy?”

“Exactly Elsa,” Helga said, “finish this race, and then come and have a look at what the masked robbers have done to us.”

They nodded as they ended the race, and then put the controllers down, walking over and look in at their sisters as Sharon said “httsnnhtthbhd.”

“You sound funny,” Elsa giggled, both Sharon and Gail smiling and nodding as they looked at Helga.

“Yes, they do,” Janna said as she put her rucksack on the bed and opened it to take ropes out. “Now come and feel the ropes for yourselves – when you are ready, just put your hands behind your back, and I’ll start.”

“We’ll all be the same,” Helga said, “and the four of you at least will be together, so Sharon and Gail will be keeping an eye on you. No body is going to hurt you, I promise you.”

Ron walked over and ran his hand over the white rope, and then put his hands behind his back, Elsa watching as Janna made sure her brother’s wrists were secured together, and then passed the rope round his upper body so that it formed two bands that kept his arms against his sides.

“This is different,” he said as Elsa looked at him, and then put her hands behind her back as well, Helga smiling as Janna made sure she was secured in the same way. After she tied the rope off, Helga whispered “thank you for not adding the other rope.”

“Not necessary,” I said in reply as Janna tied the last rope off. “Now then,” she said with a smile, “why don’t we go into your parents’ room and make you all secure there.”

“Okay,” Elsa said as she and Ron walked out in front of Janna, me following with the others. We entered the master bedroom, as Janna said, “you both get to lie on the bed, and my friend will help your sisters to sit on the floor.”

As Ron and Elsa pushed themselves onto the bed, I helped the two older girls to sit on the floor, their backs against the floor as I took more ropes from my bag and secured their ankles together, then their legs below their knees. While I was doing this, Helga watched as Janna did the same thing to Ron and Elsa, the cuffs of their jeans flaring out under the bands that held their ankles together.

“Hey – where is everyone?”

Helga looked at me as Janan whispered “Nice and quiet – time for your Mum to join the game, all right?”

They both nodded as Helga said out loud “Can you come upstairs Jill – we’re all playing a game up here?”

“The girls are plying a game with your kids? What happened,” the new arrival said as we all heard footsteps coming up and closer, before Jill Sovereign walked into the room and stopped. She was in her early forties, her long brown hair loose, wearing a black sweater and blue jeans with flat shoes.

“What the…”

“Jill,” Helga said, “this is the special game we booked so we could all be like the family you were held hostage with – these two actors are pretending to be robbers. This is a game, understand?”

Jill looked at Sharon and Gail, who nodded as Ron and Elsa wriggled round on the bed. “The game – right, is everyone all right?”

“They’re fine,” Helga said as I came behind Jill., and said “so you get to play as well now – give me your handbag, and your mobile phone, and then put your hands behind your back. You need to be the same as your partner before we take you both for a little walk.”

Jill nodded as she turned and looked at me, and whispered “you’re that couple – the Games Players, right?”

I nodded as she said, “do the girls know what is going on?”

“Your daughters do, and they are playing along,” I said quietly as I took her handbag, looked in and retrieved her phone, “and you are going to play along as well, aren’t you?”

Jil nodded as she looked at Helga, while Janna came over and crossed her wrists behind her back. “I’m sorry this has happened,” she said quietly.”

“Is Mum all right Mummy?”

“she’s fine,” Helga said as she looked over on the bed, “she’s just acting her part, the worried mother, aren’t you Jill?”

“Yeah – yeah, I am,” Jill said as she turned her head and smiled, while Janna made sure her arms were secured to her sides in the same way as Helga and her daughters. As she tied the rope off, Janna then looked at Ron and Elsa before she said, “it’s time to make sure the children stay quiet before we take the mothers round the house.”

“Are you going to tie a scarf in our mouths as well?”

“No,” Janna said as she took from her rucksack a wide roll of white tape, “but they will look like you. Now, put your lips together.”

“Are you having fun then?”

“Yes Mummy,” Ron and Elsa said as they twisted round on the bed, while Janna peeled the white tape from the roll and pressed it down over their mouths. Helga and Jill exchanged a look as she then tore more strips from the roll and pressed them down over the mouths of Gail and Sharon, Elsa nodding as she said “Fhknuh.”

“Now, jus lie nice and still – your mothers will join you later,” I sit as Janna took Jill by the arm, and I held Helga, both of them walking outside for us as we left the four there.

“So, this is a genuine robbery,” Jill said quietly.

“Indeed – so let’s start with the office downstairs, and then we can make our way back here for the end of the game…”



About an hour later, we came back in to see that Ron had fallen asleep, Elsa looking at him as Gail and Sharon twisted round on the floor.

“Just keep calm, this is a game after all,” Jill said as Janna helped her toile on her side beside Roin, and I walked Helga over to the other side of the bed.

“Fhnnkhsmhmfhrthrghm,” Elsa said, Helga nodding as she lay on her side and I started to bind her ankles together, and then her legs below her knees, before I pulled her ankles back and placed her in a hogtie. Janna was doing the same thing to Jill, as she watched Ron’s chest rise and fall.

We then used the tape to gag the two mothers and checked the ropes and gags on the others as Helga gently kissed Elsa on the head. We then searched the rest of the room, finding more valuables and placing them in the bag as the older girls watched.

“Hnddhrrhhms?”

“All in the bag,” Janna said, “which will be downstairs when you all get free.”

Sharon raised an eyebrow as I said “now, I’ll turn the radio on, and you all stay here. The game ends when the rescuers come.”

Helga and Jill looked at me and nodded as we left hem there, the music playing as we made our way down the stairs, out of the house, and into our car - removing our masks before we left the grounds, of course. After we had driven for an hour, I placed a call to the local police, before we went to pick up Tammy…

Another excellent story.

Good to see that Gail and Sharon weren’t giving up the struggle.
