I watch as the staff and the Magicians assistances start to clear away the stage. I can't believe what has just happened. I tell myself to just go home...they guy probably was just part of the act and was in on it.....but why the gag and the leather gloved hand? I have to investigate.
I check no one is about and manage to sneak behind stage down a long passageway to the actors dressing rooms. All the doors are open, except one....the one that has a large star and the name of the Magician. I can hear banging and hushed voices coming from inside the room and bend down and peer into the key hole. I see the 2 guys that are still dressed and bandits. Between them standing against the brick wall is the bound, gagged and blindfolded volunteer from the audience. He is wiggling and struggling frantically ......one of the villains has his leather gloved hand over the poor guys gagged mouth, the other is holding more rope and trying to keep their captive still. I hear them tell him to stop struggling and to keep quite if he knows what is good for him.
The other villain orders his helper to quickly tie up his legs. I watch as his legs are roped together tightly at the ankles and knees, all the time the kidnapped guy is struggling and murphing under the gag and leather glove. During the struggle the man's shirts has unfastened and opened up showing off his muscular chest. Then the guy glove gagging the bound man reached down and grabbed something. He throws is over to the guy who has finished binding the man's legs, who starts to pull a shiny satin sack over the man's booted feet and up his legs, until the man is swallowed in the sack, and then, once over the gagged and blindfolded man's head, a rope is tied around the top to seal him in! He is then carried to the other side of the room and pushed into a locker and forced to sit knees up to his chest, on the metal floor. One guy laughs and tells him not to go anywhere, and shuts the door.
Then one of the bandits mobile phones starts to ring...... "yes boss.....yes we have taken care of him real good......no he can't escape boss....OK we are on are way". He knocks on the locker door...."sit tight pretty boy... we'll be back for you later". They laugh and head toward the door. I quickly run and hide behind some boxes stacked against the wall. I watch them pass. Now is my chance to save this guy. I try the door lock..its not locked! I rush in, my heart racing, over to the locker. I open up the door slowly and kneel down next the to sack containing the kidnapped man. I can hear him breathing heavily ..... must be difficult to breath trapped in the sack, gagged with that huge gag and those tight ropes around his chest. I quickly unfasten the rope around the top of the sack and it falls down to his shoulders.
I can smell his aftershave and sweat. He shakes his head from side to side, murphing loudly under the gag. I rush to take off his blindfold. He starts back at me with beautiful wide green eyes, his eyes begging me to help him. I tell him not to worry, I'll soon get you out of there. I begin to unfasten the gag, but the knots are tied to tight. I try to pull the gag down, as he turns his gagged handsome face up to me, but its tied too securely into his mouth. He nods his head down to his body, indicating to me to help him out of the sack first.....I am just about to pull him out of the cramped locker when we hear the villains voices and footsteps approaching the door. I panic and stand up. Murph murph ....the guy wiggles about and stares frantically at me above the gag. "sorry I can't" I say and hide behind some old scenery in the corner of the room, just in time and and door opens and the Magician and the 2 bad guys come in.
The Magician locks the door behind him and then sees the tied up man staring at him. "so this is your idea of secure is it"? he snaps angrily at his henchmen. "Sorry boss, he must have been very desperate to get his head out, we tied it real tight honest".
"no matter, I will just have to do the job myself as usual........hand me that tape".
One guy tosses a roll of thick black shiny tape over the the Magician who starts to tape over the man's eyes, winding the tape many times around his blond haired head. He is moaning into the gag all the time. "we better shut him up more too.......don't want anyone to hear you, do we now my friend"? I sniggers at the man, as the winds more shiny black tape over the man's already gagged mouth, around and around his head. "there that ought to keep you nice and quite". he sneers. and pulls the sack back over the man's head and secured is again with more rope.
There is a knock at the door and in come the sexy female assistants. They are ordered to start taking out the props to the van. Soon the room is cleared apart form a large leather chest standing in the corner. The Magician thanks the girls and tell them he will see them in the next show. They leave. Then the 2 villains open up the locker again and drag the wiggling sack over to the chest, as the Magician unlocks and opens it up. The helpless bound and gagged man is manhandled into the chest and its locked and padlocked shut.
The Magician leans over the locked chest ..."Listen to me by boy....no use struggling as you tied up good and tight.....and you don't want to use up all you air in there.......Oh and don't think about trying to yell for help.....no one will be able to hear you with that big tight gag in you mouth". He bands his knuckles on the top of the chest and nods to his helpers. They put the chest upright onto a 2 wells trolley and wheel the chest out of the room to the waiting van.
My heart freezes and the Magician scans the room with his dark eyes. I hold my breath. Then I hear him leave and shut the door...... I wait several minutes then run out, down the hall.... look out of the window to see the black vans back door slamming shut and the engine starting. I run to my car and start my engine as the van leaves the car park...............
