Chapter 1
Eighteen year old Julie West sat in a small holding cell at Carbrook Young Female Offenders Centre nervously waiting to be collected. Today is her eighteenth birthday which makes her too old for the young offenders centre so she is to serve out the remaining two years of her three year sentence for burglary and armed robbery at an adult womans prison called Larkhall. Blonde haired Julie is very small and skinny for her age, she is also double jointed in almost every joint in her body which, the gang of villains she got in with found very useful as she was able to climb through even the tiniest of windows with ease.
After what seemed like hours of waiting the door to her cell opened and a warden entered accompanied by to two black haired women both dressed in black leather cat suits and black knee length boots.
“Julie this is Mrs Davies and Miss Towers from Secure Escorts they’ve been hired to escort you to Larkhall.” The warden told her.
“OK Julie on your feet.” Mrs Davies the older of the two escorts barked out in a no nonsense tone.
Julie stood up and as soon as she was standing Miss Towers wasted no time in pulling her arms behind her back and snapping a pair of handcuffs on her wrists.
“We have plenty more restraints in our vehicle including a big red ball gag, so if you want your long journey to be a comfortable one I suggest you don’t give us any trouble and only speak when spoken too. Is that clear?”Miss Davies warned her.
“Yes Miss.” Julie replied.
As the two escorts led Julie from the cell she began to cry.
“What’s the matter with you?” Miss Towers asked.
“I don’t want to go to Larkhall, look at the size of me. How long do you think I’ll last in that place?” Julie sobbed.
“You know what they say Julie if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.” Mrs Davies said with a hint of a laugh.
Once they were outside Julie was placed in the back of a people carrier type vehicle and Miss Towers got in next to her and fastened the leather seat belt tightly across Julie’s lap. Mrs Davies got into the driver’s seat and they set off. The escorts told Julie the journey to Larkhall would take about six hours, and that they planned a short break at a service station they regularly use in Foxton, where she could use the toilet and she could have some food. Foxton was a place Julie knew well as she spent a lot of her school holiday’s there at her Aunt Emily’s with her cousin Pippa.
The first part of the journey to Foxton was long, boring and a little uncomfortable with her hands cuffed behind her back, but finally they reached the service station.
“I’m going to un-cuff one of your wrists now Julie and place that cuff on my wrist.” Miss Towers told her.
Julie was relieved to at least have one of her hands free again. As the three of them walked across the car park they got some strange looks from the others customers but once they were inside the service station the staff where used to the escorts using the service station.
“Do you wish to use the private staff toilets as usual Mrs Davies” A middle aged woman in a red uniform asked.
“Yes please Mary.” Mrs Davies replied.
The woman gave Mrs Davies a key and they took Julie through a door marked Private Staff Only. Once they were inside they took Julie to the ladies toilets outside the door to the toilets Miss Towers unfastened the cuff from her own wrist.
“In you go Julie be as quick as you can remember we’ll be right here outside so don't go getting any silly ideas into your head.” Mrs Davies told her.
Once Julie was inside the toilets Mrs Davies said to Miss Towers.
“You wait here for her; I’ll go and arrange some food.”
Miss Towers waited a few minutes outside the toilets and Julie never came out, so she put her head around the door and called out.
“Julie are you alright in there.”
There was no reply
“Ok Julie I’m coming in woe betide you if you’re up to no good.”
Miss Towers went into the toilets where she found all four cubicles empty and Julie nowhere to be seen, high above the wash basins she spotted a tiny little square window which flapped in the wind.
“No way, it’s impossible no one could fit through that.” She said out loud in a shocked tone, before running to fetch Mrs Davies.
A couple of miles away sixteen year old Pippa West Julie’s cousin was getting ready to go the cinema with her friends, her mum was away for the weekend at wedding leaving Pippa home alone for the very first time, and she planned to make the most of it by inviting her friends back after the film for food and drinks. Pippa was dressed in her favourite little pale blue skirt, and low cut white top which showed off her ample cleavage very nicely, she’s just finished brushing her long brown hair in the mirror when there was a knock on the door.
“They’re early.” Pippa thought to herself as she went to open the door.
When she opened the door she was shocked to see Julie standing there covered in sweat and out of breath.
“Julie I thought you..”
“You thought I was in prison; quickly let me in before we’re seen.” Julie said pushing her way past Pippa.
“Where’s Aunty Em?” Julie asked once they were inside.
“She’s away all weekend. You’ve escaped haven’t you? You can’t stay here mum won’t allow it.” Pippa replied.
“Don’t worry I’ll be long gone before she gets home.”
“No Julie please go now or we’ll both be in trouble, if you don’t I’ll call the police.” Pippa said holding up her cell phone.
“Ok Ok keep your knickers on, I’ll go but first help me get this off.” Julie replied holding up the handcuff on her wrist.
“How?” Pippa asked.
“I don’t know you’re the one with the brains I hardly went to school remember, you think of something.”
“Come into the kitchen we’ll try butter.”
Pippa covered Julie’s wrist with butter and pulled in the cuff and much to her surprise the cuff slide off Julie’s skinny wrist with great ease.
“Nice one.” Julie said with a smile.
“Now please go.”
“Alright let me wash this butter off first.” Julie replied.
As she washed her hands she spotted a sharp kitchen knife on the side of the sink, which she picked up without Pippa noticing and placed it carefully in the pocket of her blue prison overalls. Once Julie had dried her hands Pippa said to her.
“Go now or I’ll call the police I mean it Julie.”
“Alright alright I know where I’m not wanted.” Julie replied.
As she walked past Pippa on her way to the door she grabbed the girl who wasn’t that much bigger than her and pulled the knife from her pocket and put it to her throat.
“Now bitch switch off your phone and put it on the table.”
“Julie please let me go don’t hurt me.” Pippa begged as she did as Julie told her.
Julie then let go of Pippa but kept the knife pointing at her.
“Are you wearing panties?” Julie asked.
“Yes. Why are you asking?” Pippa asked in a puzzled tone.
“Take them off and stuff them in your mouth.”
“What? No way.”
“Do it bitch.” Julie said waving the knife menacingly.
“Ok Ok.” Pippa said.
Tears began to fill up in her eyes as Pippa removed her little white cotton panties and stuffed them in her mouth. Julie then picked up a cloth napkin off the table and threw it to Pippa
“Gag yourself, and make sure it’s nice and tight.”
Pippa stood frozen to the spot with the napkin in her hand.
“You must remember the damsel in distress games we used to play when we were kids? Only this time you’re going to be a real life damsel in distress. Gag yourself now.” Julie barked again waving the knife at Pippa.
Pippa was left with no option but to fold the napkin into a thin band and tie it tightly between her lips to hold the panties in place. She then watched as Julie began to rummage through the kitchen draws and cupboards, seeing that Julie had taken her eye off her for second Pippa made a run out of the kitchen into the lounge and towards the front door.
“Come back here bitch.” Julie cried as she chased after her and tackled her to the ground before she reached the door.
Julie sat on top of Pippa and pulled her arms behind her back and tightly bound her wrists together with rope she’d found in one of the kitchen cupboards. Just then there was a knock on the front door, Pippa had forgotten all about her friends coming for her.
“MMMPPPPHHH MMMMPPPHHH” She tried to cry out, but Julie clasped her hand tightly over her already gagged mouth.
“Don’t be silly Pip I don’t want to hurt you, but I will if I have to.” She whispered in Pippa’s ear.
“PIPPA ARE YOU IN THERE.” A voice from outside called out after knocking again.
Tears rolled down Pippa’s cheeks as she was helpless to reply
“PIPPA OPEN THE DOOR. ARE YOU ALRIGHT?” The voice called out again.
"I'ved tried her phone it's switched off she never has it switched off." Another girl said
“Yeah how very odd. Come on or we’ll miss the start of the film maybe she'll meet us there later. Keep trying her phone.”
Once she was satisfied the girls had gone Julie took her hand from Pippa’s mouth and pulled her to her feet.
“You stupid bitch don’t you ever try anything like that again or else.” Julie hissed pushing the point of knife into Pippa’s neck but not hard enough to cut her.
“Is that clear?”
Pippa nodded the best she could.
“I need a bath and change of clothes, you’ll have to come with me I can’t trust you down here by yourself can I?”
Julie took the sobbing bound girl’s arm and led her up stairs and into the bathroom.
