unlike the previous weeks it was not as warm today, it was a rainy day during the summer vacation and Sarah was wearing a pink hooded sweater, a brown denim miniskirt and black tights.
they had just gotten back from grandma's place where Mr Stratos once again had tied her up in the attic without Sarah's father knowing. they got in trough the front door of the apartment and Mike (Sarah's father) took of his police jacket before he walked into his room to change into regular clothes.
it was clear where Mr Stratos had his musical taste from as Sarah's father came back from his bedroom wearing jeans and a white t-shirt with a picture of Hendrix.
"oh, dammit. i forgot to go to the grocery store" he suddenly said.
Sarah had already sat down in front of the TV and was watching some Disney show.
"Sarah, grab your jacket we have to go out again" he said.
"do i have to come along?" Sarah whined.
"well, you have been home alone a couple of times already"
"don't worry dad, Mr Stratos is a big bear and he can take care of me"
he looked at Mr Stratos and all he could see was a short white teddy bear with sunglasses and a shirt.
"Mr Stratos, you better watch closely over Sarah while i'm gone at the grocery store"
he left and Sarah quickly said "alright Mr Stratos, let's see if we can find my dad's handcuffs"
she was about to enter his room when suddenly the front door opened again.
"i forgot my wallet" Sarah's father said.
Sarah jumped and realized how close she was at getting busted.
when he had left... again... Sarah finally entered his room.
her fathers room had a big bed, a blue Fender Stratocaster hanging on the wall with an amp on the floor below it. next to the amp was a computer desk with an mac computer and one of those ipads that everyone was talking about.
she went to his closet and found the handcuffs.
then she went back to her own room where Mr Stratos had prepared the ropes she would be tied up with.
"everything ready?" she asked.
"look, i know you are not going to listen to me when i say this but i'm saying it anyway. THIS IS A BAD IDEA" Mr Stratos once again pointed out.
"just go ahead and tie me up, i'm gonna see if i can get out by myself when we are using the handcuffs".
"fine, how do you want to be tied up?"
"the usual way, but i'm going to be sitting right here" Sarah said and sat down on the floor and placed her arms behind the foot of her bed.
"now tie my legs like you always do, then tie my arms to my body and use the handcuffs on my wrists behind the foot of the bed".
"jawohl mein führer" Mr Stratos said and started to tie her legs with the shortest ropes. one around her ankles and one around her knees.
"this is gonna be so fun" Sarah said as Mr Stratos started to tie a long rope around her upper body so her arms got pinned to her sides, he took the other long rope and tied it around her waist and the bed foot and then finally used the handcuffs to place her arms behind the bed foot.
"now?" Mr Stratos said "how is it?"
Sarah struggled some "it works, i can't move my arms at all. now let me just see if i can get out of this" Sarah struggled a lot but for no help, the only thing she could move was her legs that also where tied to each other.
"okey, we know that they work now and my dad might be home any minute now so hurry up and untie me"...
Mr Stratos studied the handcuffs closely and said "how?"
"how? what do you mean how" Sarah seemed to get a little frustrated.
"i don't know how to remove the handcuffs, that's what i mean".
"you use the keys, what else?" Sarah said.
"i don't have any keys"
...
...
...
...
"ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I'M STUCK HERE UNTIL MY DAD COMES HOME!?" Sarah shouted out.
"well, i guess i could at least undo the ropes" Mr Stratos said.
Mr Stratos started to work on the ropes that went around Sarah's upper body.
"OUCH, your only tightening it even more you stupid moron!"
"don't go anywhere, i'm gonna get your dads ipad and google for a rope guide" Mr Stratos said as he grinned to Sarah and walked out of the room.
"oh don't worry, i'll stay right here" Sarah said angry.
Mr Stratos came back with the ipad and said "okey, i tried to google and i found the international boy scouts website. there seems to be few a good tips around here"
"good, now hurry up and get me the heck out of this"
Mr Stratos fickled around the ipad a little and then said "i always wanted to be scout, you know try to get badges and such but i never liked to go at meetings"
"yeah yeah, just see what you can find about knots" Sarah was starting to get tired of this.
"hey look at this, they got first aid lessons too. do you wanna know how to threat a broken bone?"
"I WANNA KNOW HOW TO GET FREE YOU MENTALLY HANDICAPPED CUCKOO!!!"
"how rude, you should try to show some respect from your position"
"Mr Stratos, i mean it. if i'm not free within the next minute..."
"you got yourself to thank Houdini. hey look, the Morse alphabet".
"OKEY, I'M SORRY i called you names. now please just find a way to free me before my dad comes home" Sarah begged.
"you want to know how to spell your name Sarah? spot spot spot, spot line, spot line spot, spot line..."
"CUT IT OUT and find out how to FREE ME!!!" Sarah was getting really angry now and then they suddenly heard a door open.
"Sarah, I'm home!" they heard her dad say as he entered the front door.
"i'm dead, nice knowing you" Sarah said. there was no way she could get out in time.
the door to her bedroom opened and her dad walked in "hey Mike" Mr Stratos said.
"hey Sarah, do you want something to................ eat........" was his reaction as he came in and saw his bound 7 year old daughter sitting on the floor next to her bed and the little stuffed teddy bear with an ipad in his lap.
"how the hell did you manage to tie yourself up like this?" he was shocked (obviously).
"i didn't, Mr Stratos did and now i can't get out" she said.
"Mr Stratos?"
he went over to Sarah and started to untie the ropes around her legs.
"well it seems like Mr Stratos did a very good job, is it the first time he does this?"
"nope".
Sarah was a little surprised, she was expecting her dad to furious. but he seemed to be really calm.
"Mr Stratos has tied me up every day that i have been at grandma, and also a couple of times here in my room. his not the only one, Charlotte has tied me up too".
Sarah's dad got the ropes of her legs, and before he continued to untie her upper body he said "didn't you meet Charlotte for the first time this Saturday?"
"yep".
"you known the girl for two days and she has already tied you up?"
"yep, we took pictures from the first time she did too".
Mike was surprised by this
"do you like being tied up?"
"i think it's fun, it's sorta like a game about how i keep getting kidnapped"
"well i think i should untie you now so you can eat, and then we have to set a few rules about your little game" he said and undid the ropes around Sarah's upper body "rule number one i think i should mention right now, daddy's handcuffs are not a toy so don't use them to kidnap yourself"
"i told you, Mr Stratos did it" Sarah said annoyed.
"well he can't use them on you either"
"don't worry dad, we learned our lesson" she said.
he took a key out from his pocket and unlocked the handcuffs "rule number two, i don't mind if you play those games, but don't do it when it's only you and Mr Stratos at home. what if a fire broke out or something and you had been stuck because you where tied up?"
Sarah had never thought about it that way as she took her arms in front of her and rubbed them a little.
"now, would like to eat? i got a pizza".
that day Sarah had enough of the kidnapping games she used to have with Mr Stratos, she had already been tied up while she was over at her grandma that day and also now she got tied up Mr Stratos when she had gotten home.
but at least now she didn't have to hide the games from her dad anymore so she could have Mr Stratos tie her up at home as well.
that's it for now, next part will be shared sometime during this week.
by the way, this is where i got the name for Mr Stratos
