Franks had made it in pretty good time to the house in question. He parked his bike next the big post that supported the gate chaining it in place securly, he would retrive it later. Just as he was locking up his bike he heard someone approaching he looked up to see Jess come skidding to a stop.
“Hey Franks I hear tell you have an issue?” She said sounding touch as nails which she usually was even when she was the damsel.
“Not me per say but it appears that fiend has taken my sister captive and wants me for her.” He said with a grin.
“Well we cant have that can we?” Jess said as she parked her bike next to his and locked it up.
“Any news on additional support?” He asked as Jess grabbed up a couple of Nerf guns from the pouch hanging on her back.
“Just us boss Kim is grounded and Ms. Parker had papers to grade I checked” She says with a laugh.
“All right then according to Drakes they are out in the woods somewhere in back.” He says as he opens the large gate as they both slip through. They proceed to the back back of house and across the back yard.
“I will go that way you go that way?” Jess asked pointing to the left, the less used path, and then to the right.
“Sounds good watch for Drakes and booby traps,” Franks warned.
“Yeah I am no booby so I should be fine just watch your back Franks...it is you he wants.” She says as she runs off onto the path and disappears. Franks moves to the path and enters with a bit more caution. He treads softly as he can looking for signs of traps and he finds one just a simple bell trip wire. He smiles to himself as he starts to step over it. Just in time he sees the real trap as he freezes. Buried under the leaves just on the other side was a second trip wire, which when he followed it with his eyes, was attached to a small twig pulled back to snap him in the face. That would have smarted if he had not see it. Now how to get around it? He could go through the trees to get around the mess but that would make a lot of noise. He could not see anything on the far side of the second trap so Franks backs up and takes a running start and leaps the 3 foot or so span clearing both traps with little noise. He comes up and looks around gun drawn nothing no noise, but he knows Drakes is out there. And so was his sister, he had to keep moving. He knew he would meet up with Jess if they both headed the right way she took the path that would intersect with the one heading to the spring. He decided to head for the clearing first to check, so he turned down that path keeping an eye open for nasty traps. He didnt find any though and got the clearing with no issues. And with no luck either. Though he did find a small tape recorder he pushed play.
“Wrong again Franks” The voice of Drakes said with a laugh. That meant the spring then only other place unless he was just waiting on a path somewhere. Just then he a russeling in the woods. 'What the heck is that?' He thought to himself could be a deer or at least he hoped that is all it was. Just then there was a loud snap and a lot cursing in a female voice. Which of course was Jess, she must have set off a trap somewhere near the clearing. There was a bit more cursing then silence, Drakes must have claimed himself a second hostage. Franks smiled though he had a plan.

“Damn it let me go!” Jess screams at her captor as she strains and wrestles at the tape being wound around and around her wrists. She was now seated next to Rachel who was mmmpphhing for all she was worth grateful for the action finally. Jess's legs already taped together she was wearing jeans thankfully unlike the other girl.
“That isn't going to happen I want Franks” Drakes says taking more tape and wrapping it around her arms and body just below her chest.
“You can have him just let me go” Jess says as he pulls out a nerf ball and shoves it into Jess's mouth shutting her up as he tapes it in place. And uses a scarf to blindfold her.
“That will be quite enough out of you” He says pulling her over to set back to back with Rachel as the last of the tape is used to bind them together. Both giving it their all, and secretly having a grand time at it.
“Now both of you will be my bait for Franks,” Drakes says laughing. Just then they all hear something...it was a bit distant but they could hear it.
“Kevin?! Kevin. I got off the path and got lost...I give up you win...cut the girls loose come find me.” The voice says clearly Franks.
“Yeah right that is going to happen...I will be back ladies” He says as he takes off into the brush. Following the voice avoiding the traps he set as the voice continued to plea for help it took him about five minutes to track the sound of the voice and what he found was his own tape recorder playing out a recorded voice.
“I knew it!!” He screams as he takes off back toward the spring as he gets there he sees the girls right where he left them.
“Ha! Your trick didn't work Franks.” Drakes says. “I win you didn't save them”
“Oh I don't have to now” Franks says stepping out from behind a tree. Drakes draws his gun and aims only to be hit in the back by a dart. The look on Drakes's face is priceless.
“Awww man that is dirty pool.” He says turning around to see the girls. Not so much taped together now as Jess is holding the gun on him with a smile around the gag in her mouth. Rachel still bound as before since Drakes has the keys but no the less he was shot first.
“What do you mean dirty pool, I played a trick they are normally not clean” Franks says walking out into the small clearing by the spring.
“Yeah but getting out of character pretending to be lost that is just wrong.” Kevin says as they hear tearing of tape as Jess frees herself fully removing the gag.
“Yeah yeah you lost deal with it...can you give him the keys to the handcuffs?” Jess says moving over to the Rachel as she moves as fast as she can with the tape on the younger girls bare legs. Rachel squeals loudly as the tape is pealed off her skin. They all of gone through this, Kevin is quite sinister sometimes with the stuff.
“I know hun almost done,” Jess says as she finally gets the whole sleeve of the tape of her lower legs and then un-gags her and removes the hood.
“Oh goodness that smarts, Kevin why do you use that stuff?” She asks as Kevin moves in behind her to unlock the cuffs.
“Because he cant tie a knot to save his life?” Rick says laughing helping Rachel to her feet.
“Hey all my hostages stay stuck unless they have help.” Kevin says.
“Yea stuck being the word” Jess says laughing.
“Well Drakes lost again...hey everyone my parents are gone you all want to spend the night and watch movies.” She says with a grin.
“As long as he is out of duct tape sure, I have to call my parents.” Jess says.
“Yeah me to” Rick says.
“Me three” Kevin says as they laugh.
“All right then, since I was the one that had the tape on my bare legs I get to choose the punishment.” Rachel says as Kevin groans.
“I say he walks all the way out to the gate and gets our bikes.” Jess says.
“Wonderful idea,” Rachel says laughing. “Chop chop Drakes get going”
“Whatever” He says laughing collecting the keys to the chains for the bikes and jogs off down the path to the house as the others follow behind deactivating any traps they know about as they go.
“What movies shall we watch?” Kevin asks.
"Anything with someone other then me getting tied up” Rachel says laughing as they all walk back to the house to the sleep over.
