Stories of Tie Up Games

Robbie and Jai were brothers, born three years apart. Jai had always looked after his younger sibling and Robbie always looked up to Jai. There were, of course, times in their lives when Robbie was the annoying and irritating young brother and times when Jai wished he didn’t have a younger brother to babysit.

These feelings all came to fruition one weekend when the boys were left alone whilst their mother had some business to attend to. She had raised her two boys as a single mum and had, all things considered, done a splendid job.

Robbie was now 16 and Jai 19 and both thought the babysitting days were long one. That is, until their mother told Jai she wanted him to look after Robbie for the weekend. Both boys protested vociferously.

“I’m don’t need a babysitter at age 16” and “He’s old enough to look after himself now.”

Jai complained that “There’s a baseball game on cable that I was going to watch at my mate’s place, cause we don’t have cable here.”

“I hear you lads, but there’s a bit of a crimewave happening in this area of late, so I’ll be happier if you stay together.”

“Oh damn, all right. We’ll stay together over the weekend. Promise”

What his mother didn’t know was that Jai was hatching a cunning plan in his mind so that he and Robbie would be together all weekend.
Robbie was curious at his brother’s swift cave-in when he promised they would be together. What did he mean?

When their mother had departed Robbie queried Jai on his capitulation. “I know you. You agreed to Mum’s conditions rather too quickly to my mind. What do you have planned?”

“I reckon I know. You’re going to tie me up and leave me in the trunk of your car, aren’t you? That’s not fair!”

“Hey, that’s a thought, but no. Here’s what gonna happen little bro. We are both going to Dylan’s apartment and I will watch the baseball game like I planned. And you’re coming with me. We may stay over for the whole weekend.”

“Ah, that’s going to be so, so boring. I think I’d rather be tied up in your car.”

“Your wish is my command Robbie. Let’s get started.”

“No, no, no, I was just joking. At least I can move about at Dylan’s pad. I just hope he’s got something I can play my games on.”

“Oh, you and your silly Pac-man type games. Cant you do something more creative. I’ll check with Dylan to see what he’s got.”

When the dust had settled, Robbie and Jai made preparations to go to Dylan’s apartment. Jai took his most important item – a carton of beer – and Robbie packed up as many bags of sweets as he could find. As the weather was still quite warm, both boys wore shorts and sneakers and t-shirts.

Jai looked like a typical jock – muscles upon muscles, a short buzz cut hair style which made his black hair almost invisible. Robbie had not yet reached his growth spurt as he was short for his age of 16 years – about 5 feet 6 inches. His hair was also jet black but he wore it in an emo style – long and flowing.

Dylan and Jai had been friends since their school days and often visited each other’s homes. Dylan had the looks of one of the Dylan actors, which made him a prime target for the numerous females that seemed to follow him around.

***********

Friday night was spent watching a couple of war movies, which Robbie found to be totally uninteresting though Jai and Dylan were glued to the tv.

Dylan did possess an old PlayStation, so Robbie was transfixed in front of the machine for most of Saturday. The two nineteen year olds spent the majority of the day watching replays of baseball and football games, yahooing every time their favourite team scored. The cable baseball game they were intent on watching wasn’t due to start until six in the evening. By that time Robbie had become frustrated as the PlayStation broke down and he was left with virtually nothing to do except watch baseball and football, both of which he hated.

Dylan and Jai had an early meal at five so that nothing could interrupt their viewing. Both had also drunk many cans of beer so they were quite tipsy when the game was due to start. Robbie was due to watch his umpteenth baseball game when he stormed into the dining room, knocking over several plates and dishes.

“Hey, watch it kid. You’re going to pay for the damage. Now get down and pick up the pieces on the floor.” Dylan was furious.

“Pick them up yourself. I hate it here. I’m so bored. I want to go home. At least I can play with the dog rather than watch some stupid baseball game.”

Jai tried to diffuse the situation by offering to pick up the smashed china himself. “Give him a break, Dyl. He’s agreed to come over here with me, so give some slack.” (He hadn’t agreed ; he was forced to.)

“No, I’ve had enough. The twerp has been moping around the place all day and now he’s lost control. He’s going to spoil our viewing if we don’t do something pretty quick.”

When the pair were out of earshot of Robbie, Dylan suggested to Jai that they should tie Robbie to a chair and gag him so they could watch the game in peace.

“Oh, I don’t know Dyl. That seems a little harsh. I’ll get him to quieten down.”

“Oh, very well, but one more peep out of his mouth and he’s going to get roped to that chair and watch the game.”

That seemed to satisfy Jai but, no sooner had they sat down with the game due to begin in ten minutes when Robbie broke the peaceful truce when he said “Hey, let’s all listen to some rap music. It’s better than some silly baseball game.”

“Right, that’s it.” said Dylan. “Keep him here ‘till I come back. I really want to shut him up, whether he’s your brother or not.”

Good start. Looking forward to the next part.

Part 2 ....

When Dylan came back to the room with a bundle of ropes and a long cloth, Jai grabbed Robbie in a bear hug and ushered him towards a chair.

“Hey, what gives? What are you doing?” Robbie yelled.

“Sorry, Rob, but you’ve brought this on yourself. We want to watch the game in peace without you interrupting every couple of minutes.”

Robbie knew what was in store for him when he saw the ropes that the approaching Dylan was carrying.

“Oh, come on. You don’t have to do this. I’m sorry. I’ll sit and watch the game with you and wont say a word. Scout’s honour.”

Dylan was not impressed with Robbie’s half-hearted apology.

“Too late my young friend. For a start, you weren’t in the scouts and you just cant be trusted. I know you too well, Robbie. You promise the world but, after five minutes, you’ll be jumping up and down, screaming at the tv and wishing you were home.” “Yes, you will watch the game but you’ll be tied to the chair and gagged so we can watch it in peace.”

“Please Dylan, don’t do this.” Pleaded Robbie, then he turned to Jai “Jai, I’m your brother. Tell Dylan to stop. This isn’t how I wanted to spend the weekend.”

“I didn’t want this either Rob, but this is the only way to shut you up. I’m with Dylan here. Now sit down and take your medicine. We wont make the ropes too tight but, if you get loose and start annoying us again, you’ll be bound and gagged so tight for the rest of the weekend.”
“Just pretend it’s one of our fun tie-up games that we used to do a couple of years ago.” “Hey, and when were you ever in the scouts?”

“OK, you got me there. A bit of a fib. I guess I’ve got no choice, have I. Go on, do your worst but, before you start, can you promise you’ll release me when the game’s over.”

Robbie sat down in the low back wooden chair and Dylan wrenched his arms behind him and started to wrap his wrists, which were hand to hand, with multiple loops of rope, and cinching the rope between his wrists. Jai joined in by tying his brother’s ankles the same way as his wrists. A short rope was attached to his ankles and then yanked to tie around his wrists, effectively hogtying the boy to the chair. More ropes were wrapped around Robbie chest and stomach and around the chair, causing Robbie to utter an ‘oomph’.

“Hey, you said the ropes weren’t going to be too tight. I cant move.”

“Stop being a baby. If I really wanted to tie you tightly, you would know it, trust me.” Dylan was enjoying this.

Dylan then took the long piece of cloth, twirled it so that it was one long strip and tied a knot in the centre of the cloth. He did this not once, not twice but three times so that the knot would almost fill the boy’s mouth.

“OK, Robbie, open wide.”

“This isn’t necessary, you know, I’ll keep qu…..mmmph.” Robbie protestations were silenced as the cloth was stuffed into his mouth and tied up behind the boy’s head. Again, it knotted three times, making it impossible for Robbie to spit it out.

“There, that’s much, much better. Peace in our time.” Said Dylan as he high-fived Jai.

It took only a couple of minutes for sounds coming from Robbie’s gagged mouth.
“I cmmph smmmph tammmph yommmmph knmmmmph.”

“Quiet, prisoner” Dylan addressed the young boy. “If you keep uttering a sound I’m going to wrap some duct tape over your mouth and around your head twenty times. That will keep you silent.”

The baseball game began and the score were tied at three all after five innings. No team had gained an advantage and it was clear it was going to be a close fought contest.

Then, believe it or not, more noises came from Robbie who sounded agitated. “So…..mmph try…mmph to gmmmph in tmmmph doo…mmph.”

Dylan and Jai were so engrossed in the game they took no notice of Robbie and what he was trying to say. But they stood bolt upright when they, too, heard noises at the door and saw Robbie motioning with his head in that direction.

Curiosity turned to alarm when two men crashed through the door and stormed into the room brandishing handguns. They wore balaclavas to disguise themselves but the two nineteen year olds were more focused on the guns.

All tied up to a chair, gagged, blindfolded and head taped sure seams like a great way to keep a snot nose little brother quiet, he certainly deserves it (as all boys do). And now a possible beating and kidnapping are in Robbie's future, HOW EXCITING.

Looks like a sweet little home invasion. Great!

I wonder if they‘ll take Robbie with them as their hostage…

Great story

Part 3 .....

“Just stay perfectly still gentlemen and keep your hands where we can see them. If you do what we say, no-one will get hurt. If you disobey, we aren’t afraid to use these.” Said one of the intruders whilst waving his gun.

“Now, lie face down on the floor with your hands behind you while my mate here ties you up. We’ve brought some handy zip-ties but I see that we wont have to use them as you’ve supplied us with enough rope.”

One of the robbers started with Jai, tying his wrists palm to palm and also wound rope around his arms just above his elbows. Jai’s ankles were tied in the same manner as his wrists and more rope encircled his legs above his knees. Jai was then cruelly hogtied with his wrists and ankles almost meeting. To complete his bondage, the robbers had brought with them two ball gags and one was pushed into Jai’s mouth, flattening his tongue and the straps were fully tightened behind his head. Duct tape was then wound around the poor boy’s head until the ball gag disappeared under a ton of tape.

Whilst this was going on, Robbie was looking wide-eyed at how his brother was being tied up. He was angry at Jai for allowing him to be tied to the chair, but he did not deserve this.

Dylan received exactly the same treatment – wrists, arms, ankles and legs all tied, then hogtied and ball gagged and taped.

The men then turned their attention to the sixteen year old who was tied to the chair.

“Your mates did this, did they?” said one of the men. Robbie nodded.

“Well, they didn’t do a great job as I’m sure you could easily get loose from these flimsy ties. Let’s get you out of this chair and you can join you buddies on the floor.”

The ropes which bound Robbie to the chair at chest and stomach level were untied and Robbie was lifted out of the chair and placed face down on the floor.

“My grandmother could tie you up better than this, so let’s get you wrapped up real tight.”

Robbie’s wrist and ankle bonds were released but immediately re-bound with the same ropes but much, much stricter than before. Using the ropes which had bound the boy to the chair, Robbie had his arms pinned to his body and more rope encircled his legs above his knees. A hogtie rope attached wrists and ankles with such ferocity that Robbie had experienced pain like nothing before.

“That gag is also very amateurish too. I’ll show you how a real gag can silence a victim.”

The cloth gag remained in place was tightened to a painful degree, causing the young boy to almost choke and brought him to tears. Not content with just the cloth gag, the man wrapped duct tape over the cloth and around Robbie’s head several times.

Now, Dylan, Jai and Robbie were helpless in their excruciating bonds and gags and could only watch as the two men rifled through Dylan’s apartment, scooping up whatever they could lay their hands on. Watches, wallets, phones, a DVD player, some jewellery and some clothing were all tossed into a large bag the men had brought with them. Even the television that Dylan and Jai had watching was unplugged and hauled away.

To ensure that their victims could not easily free themselves, the men placed Dylan and Jai on their knees with their chests touching each other. Ropes then secured their upper bodies together so they had to lay on the sides without the ability to rollover. Their hands were tied behind them, well out of the way on any knots they could loosen. As they were hogtied and with their ball gagged and taped mouths rendering them unable to communicate, they could only stare blankly at each other, wondering how on earth they were going to get free.

Robbie was the odd one out but even he was not spared the robber’s cruelty. He was also placed on his knees facing one of the table legs, to which he was then tied.

Robbie - as well as Jai and Dylan – could barely believe what had unfolded but Robbie ruefully thought ‘at least Jai and I will spend the whole weekend together, as he promised’.

God that cruel

And I love it haha

Great job man, you‘re a really good writer

Amazing story, I‘m sure we‘ll see more of you in the future

Great story. Since little Robbie was odd BOY out they should take him with them as a hostage to guarantee Jai and Dylan keep their big yaps shut and to be a slave/houseboy to keep their place clean. A Boy not kidnapped and taunted is a terrible thing to waste.

Great story! I wonder who will find the bound victims now....

Part 4 .....

The remainder of Saturday evening was spent with the three captives wondering just how they could possibly get free. Sunday followed a similar pattern as no amount of struggling and writhing could loosen just one knot. Jai and Dyan were still fused together, completely and utterly stuck and Robbie’s knees were numb from kneeling on them for more than a day.

However, there remained a sliver of hope as the ropes which bound Robbie to the table leg were beginning to loosen. It would have been sometime early on Monday morning that these ropes finally dropped to the floor although they were still tethering the boy to the table.

Robbie shuffled around, manoeuvring his body so that he could find the knot which secured the rope to the table leg.

Now free from the table Robbie tried to make his way to Jai and Dylan who had made no progress from the position in which they were tied. Even though the distance was only a few feet it took the boy almost an hour to wriggle across and position his back against Jai’s back. Then, all he had to do was to undo the knots which tied his brother’s wrists and, hey presto, they would all be free.

Easier said than done as Robbie’s fumbling fingers had trouble locating Jai’s wrists and then there was the matter of undoing the triple knot which had been placed there. It was a slow tedious process and dawn had broken on Monday morning before Jai’s hands were freed. All three were still heavily gagged and unable to communicate with each other, but Jai thought the best option was to get Robbie untied so that he could then untie him and Dylan. The deed was done as the sun was warming up outside. Even though the hated gag was still in place, Robbie set about totally freeing his brother and Dylan. With all the ropes discarded, the three gagged teenagers stood and looked at each and started laughing at the weirdness of the situation.

They all rushed to the bathroom to relieve themselves and then painfully removed the tape around their mouths. Robbie was the most pained as the tape stuck to his emo hair but Dylan and Jai ripped off the tape without a second thought. The ball gags popped out with a flood of drool and Robbie removed the cloth gag he had suffered for about thirty hours. Water was gulped down to sate their parched throats.

The next order of business was to go to the police to advise then what had happened and also to phone Robbie and Jai’s mother to let her know they were safe and well. She had been frantically trying to call her sons as they were not at home when she returned and she had not heard from them.

Jai had kept his promise to his mother that he and Robbie would stay together for the whole weekend, but not in the circumstances either would have would wished for. Their mother was, at first, annoyed that Jai had taken Robbie to Dylan’s apartment but then totally relieved when the full story was told and that both her sons had escaped unharmed, albeit a little shaken up.

Robbie, for his part, had lived the experience of a lifetime and had renewed appreciation for his brother. Never again would he pester Jai though he still hated baseball.

The robbers were caught by the police months later when they tried another similar heist and Dylan was able to get some of his belongings back, but not the television.

THE END

Dylan, Jai and Robbie need to remember that captives aren't supposed to easily free themselves. Isure hope Dylan an Jai told the police that they had Robbie all tied up before the robbers got there.

Great Story, you‘ve done a really good job here
