Two things before I begin. First, the next part after this will be on Friday - work commitments. Secondly, keep offering suggestions for why Alicia, in her mind, needs to get back at Cassie and Jenny. I love what's been done so far...
I stared, wide eyed, at Dad over the table.
"You... You tied up Aunt Connie? When?"
"When she and I were much younger," Dad said with a smile, "and it wasn't just Aunt Connie, was it mum?"
He looked at Granny as he said this, and she smiled and nodded at the same time. I could not believe this, and Suzie couldn't either. I know, because she nudged me and said "Has he ever tied you up?"
"No," I said quietly, "but I want to know what he did. Daddy, how did you tie Aunt Connie and Granny up?"
"Oh, in a variety of ways, but it was always, always as a game. We never, as far as I know, were bound and gagged by robbers the way you and your Mum were."
"What about Mummy - have you ever tied her up?"
"None of your business poppet," he said as he looked at me. "Anyway, I never thought of tying you or Jenny up - for one thing, you're my daughters, not my sister, and for another thing they never got out when I did it to them. that can be a scary thing, you know."
"But that's one of the best bits of the game - not been able to get out or talk. Isn't that right, Suzie?"
"I think so too," Suzie said as she picked up her glass and took a drink.
"There must be something in this family that makes us slightly crazy," Dad said as he leaned back in the chair. "Look, so long as you and Jenny keep it quiet, and you don't actually hurt each other, then you can play the games. I do have one request, however."
"What's that Daddy?"
"If you are going to wrap tape round the head, for goodness sake put something over your hair. There was one time I did not do that with your Aunt Connie, we trapped her hair, and..."
"... and she had to have a very short hairstyle for a few weeks," Granny said with a laugh. My Aunt Connie has long, shiny blonde hair that she is very proud of, so I had to think for a minute what she would look like if her hair was cut short. "John, we should be grateful they were used to been as they were those times - do you think they would have coped as well if they were not?"
Dad thought for a moment, before saying "I guess not. So, do you promise that, Cassie?"
"I promise Daddy, but will you do something for me?"
"What's that, poppet?"
"Show me and Suzie how you tied up Granny and Aunt Connie - I don't believe you can tie us up so we can’t get free."
Dad looked at both of us, then at Granny before saying "Well, it can't hurt - we'd better go up to your room and you can show me your stash."
"Thanks, daddy," I said as I jumped up, ran over to him and gave him the biggest hug I could. I then grabbed Suzie by the hand and ran up the stairs, as Dad and Gran followed us up. By the time they came into our room, I had opened the suitcase to show him.
"So that's where all my old ties went," Dad said as he looked through our collection. "All right - Cassie, find a pair of winter mittens for you and Suzie, the ones with no fingers."
I found them quickly, a blue and green zigzag pair for me and a pair of plain black ones for Suzie. As we put them on, Granny sat on the bed and watched Dad sort out some of the ropes.
"Right," he said as he held two lengths of rope in his hand, "Cassie, you go first. Come over here please, and turn round with your hands behind your back. I skipped over, turned round and smiled as he bound my wrists tightly together, keeping the rope over the mittens, and then tied to my waist the way I liked it - rope over my dress and cinched behind my back.
"Now you, Suzie," he said as she came over and allowed him to do the same to her. "I can get out of this dead easy," I said as I looked over my shoulder, "you'll need to do better than that Daddy."
"He's not finished," Granny said quietly as Dad tied the rope off around Suzie's waist, and then we looked at each other.
"Right," he then said as he took one of the longer lengths of rope. "Both of you sit down, back to back."
This was new for me, and I wondered what Dad was going to do. Granny helped us both to sit down before Dad took the rope and passed it round our tummies, pulling us both together as I felt Suzie's hands next to mine. After he tied the rope off, he took two short lengths and knelt next to us, tying them round our upper arms where they were next to each other, and passing the cords between them as well.
As he tied the other side, Suzie and I tried moving our arms, and soon found out that he had made sure we could not help each other. Dad then took another long length of rope, and tied it around our arms and upper chests, this time taking the rope round and then between us so that not only could I not move my arms, I could not move without Suzie moving as well.
"Wow - this is fun," I heard Suzie say behind me. I had to agree - this was the first time I'd been tied to someone, and it felt fantastic. I still felt I could get free, mind you - but it would take both of us to do it.
"Right," Dad said as he stood up, "do you still think you can get out?"
"I think we can stand up and run away," I said as I looked up at him. "You haven’t tied our feet yet."
"Just getting to it," he said with a smile as he knelt down, crossed my ankels and tied them tightly togetehr over my socks, and then my legs below my knees. Hr did it the way I like it, with rope around and between my legs, so that I could only try to twist them apart.
"Do you think Her Ladyship would have me sent to prison if she saw this," Dad said as he walked round and did the same thing to Suzie.
"I promise not to tell Granny Lucinda if you don't" Suzie said with a smile.
"Then it's a deal," Dad said as he stood up. "Now, can you get free from the clutches of the nasty robber?"
"I think I can," I said with a smile, "but you forgot something?"
"I did - what did I forget?"
"We can still talk - I want my gag!"
"What, like you had earlier? No - I used to use Elastoplast as a gag."
"Elastoplast - what's that?"
"The stuff you had over your mouth at my friend's house," Granny said quietly, "but we don’t have any - we just have that white stuff."
"It might work," Dad said as he left the room for a minute. when he came back, he had a wide roll of what looked like white tape with him, as well as a couple of small sponges.
"Your Aunt Cassie used to like this," he said as he held the sponge in his hand, "open wide, poppet."
I smiled as I let him put the sponge in. It tasted funny on my tongue, but I kept it in as I watched him tear a strip off the roll and hold it in his hands. "Smile for me," he said, and as I did so I watched as he stretched the tape in his hands and then stuck it over my mouth.
IT felt - FANTASTIC!!! It stuck to me like the brown fabric stuff, as Dad pressed it over my mouth and jaw, but no matter how hard I tried to move it it would not budge. "Thnksmstrsmfff," I heard Suzie say as she got the same treatment, and we both started to giggle as we twisted round and tried to get free, Dad and Granny watching. I wasn’t even bothered that it didn’t go round our heads, not this time.
We were all so engrossed in it that we didn’t hear the door opening, or Jenny coming up to say "Mum met Alicia's grandmother in town, so she's... Dad, what's going on here?"
"Your father is showing Cassandra and Suzanna how he used to play games with me and your Aunt Cassie," Granny said with a smile as I looked up and said "hllljnnee."
She put her bag down and knelt beside Suzie and me, her green skirt covering her knees as she looked at the knots. "You're good, Dad," she eventually said as she stood up, "but how come you never told us you could do this."
"Why did you not tell Mum and me about the games you and Cassie have been playing," he said as he looked at Jenny, and the way it looked it seemed as if he was angry. I knew he wasn’t, he was playing, but Jenny didn't.
"Errr - we were afraid you would not understand?"
"Oh I understand all right," Dad said before he broke out into a smile. "I understand now how you coped that night. Do you know I was worried sick about all three of you the whole time I was forced to do that? I had no idea how you were, what had happened...." He picked up Jenny in a great big bear hug, as she said "Wow - you really aren’t angry are you?"
"No, I'm not angry - but I'm sorry you felt you had to cover this up. What do you think of your dad now?"
"Hssthrgrrttsst," both Suzie and I said as Jenny looked at us again. She slipped off the black cardigan she was wearing, and stood there in her long sleeved swirly top and skirt, before saying "Can you do this to me as well?"
I watched as Dad told her to put on a pair of socks over her hands, and then crossed her wrists behind her back and tied them together, then into her back, and then tied her arms to her side around her tummy. I saw he did the same way the first man that afternoon had done - wrapped the rope round her arms at her elbows, and then round her body and her arms again over the top.
"Lie down on the bed," he said before he crossed and tied her ankles and legs, then rolled her over and gagged her with another sponge and tape as we were. As he did this, Suzie and I were trying to pull the gloves off our hands, but with no luck - even if they were fingered, I don't think we could have pulled them off from under the ropes.
"Well now, Natasha," Dad said as he finally stood up, "what do you think we should do with our prisoners?"
"I think we should torture them to find out what they know, Boris," Granny said. I had no idea why they were calling each other by those names, but I soon found out what they meant by torture, as Dad knelt by Suzie and me and started to tickle our ribs, while Granny took the shoes off Jenny’s feet and started to tickle her as well.
"BMMMMDSSDMDSFDSFMMFFDSSTTPTPLDSKSDFLSDFPLSLSS," we all screamed, but we didn’t want it to stop - my wonderful dad had shown us he was a game player as well, and we were having the time of our lives as Granny and Dad took turns tickling each of us.
"Well somebody’s having fun in...."
I looked to the door to see Mum standing there, her mouth wide opened as she looked at all of us.
"Hllmmmee," I said, "wnttpl?"
