Chapter One.
Eighteen year old Sarah Scott was speaking on the telephone to her best friend Gemma.
“Hi Gem how do you fancy a bit a retail therapy? Do you remember I told you that dad was getting me my very own credit card? Well it arrived this morning.”
“Sorry Sarah I’m broke at the moment.” Gemma replied.
“You weren’t listening babe, I’ve got a shiny new credit card how about you and I go and make a huge hole in the five thousand pound credit limit?” Sarah said with a wicked laugh.
“It would be wrong not to, wouldn’t it?” Gemma laughed.
“Great babe I’ll meet you in Gino’s coffee shop in about an hour, and those shops won’t know what’s hit them.
“Sounds good to me babe, see you soon.” Gemma replied.
Sarah took the credit card from her purse and gave it a kiss.
“Thank you Daddy.” She said out loud even though she was alone in the house.
She was about to go and get ready to meet Gemma when there was a knock on the door.
“Who the hell is this?” She said as she went to open it.
She was greeted by a tall dark haired woman who she guessed was in her mid thirties she was dressed in a black jacket and matching black skirt under her jacket she wore a white blouse.
“I’m Agent Jenny Bond I’ve been sent to protect you.”
The woman said flashing an i.d. card in the pretty little blonde girls face before pushing her way into the house, closing and locking the door behind her.
“Protect me? What do you mean protect me? I don’t need protecting” The stunned girl replied.
“Let me explain I work for MI14. Your father is a very successful scientist and our chief witness in our case against The Dragon Lady.”
“Yes I know who my father is, but what that’s got to do with me?” Sarah replied in a tone of voice Agent Bond didn’t much care for.
“You young lady are in great danger our agency believes The Dragon Lady’s people want to use you to stop your father giving evidence in court tomorrow.”
“Use me? What do you mean?”
“We believe they plan to kidnap you and hold you hostage until after the court case forcing your father to withdraw his evidence.”
“I’ve never heard such rubbish in all my life; anyway you’ll have to excuse me; I’m meeting my friend shortly we’re going shopping.” Sarah said in an arrogant tone.
“You really don’t understand the seriousness of the situation do you? You’re not going anywhere The Dragon Lady’s people are probably watching the house as we speak, now sit down.” Agent Bond said grabbing hold of Sarah’s arm and taking over to the sofa.
“Now what are you doing?” Agent Bond asked as Sarah picked up her phone.
“Calling Gemma to let her know I won’t be meeting her.”
“Are you trying to get us both killed? No one must know we’re here, they’ll be no phone calls.” Agent Bond snapped snatching Sarah’s cell from her and putting it in her jacket pocket.
“Nooo You can’t take my phone.” Sarah protested.
Agent Bond ignored her protests and said. “Now you stay right where you are read your magazine or something, I’m going to check all the doors and windows to make sure they’re locked.”
But once Agent Bond had left the room Sarah grabbed her jacket and purse and made dash towards the front door.
“Just where do you think you’re going miss?” Agent Bond called out as she caught Sarah running down the hall.
“I told you I have to meet a friend in the mall. I have an idea why don’t you come too then you can keep an eye on me if you have to?”
“Are you crazy? You’ve not been listening to a word I’ve told you have you? You have to stay out of sight until after the court case. Now get back in the lounge at once.”
“You can’t keep me here like a prisoner. Get the fuck off me.” Sarah protested as Agent Bond grabbed her and wrestled her to the floor.
“Well it looks like we’re going to have to do this the hard way.” Agent Bond said as she dragged the protesting, struggling much smaller girl back into the lounge and sat her on a padded wooden chair.
Sarah watched as Agent Bond emptied the contents of her bag out onto the floor in front of her.
“What are you going to do with all those ropes? You’re going to tie me up aren’t you?” Sarah nervously asked.
“It’s my job to make sure you stay right here in this house and out of sight, I’ll do that by any means it takes. You spoilt brats are all the same which is why I always come prepared these days.”
“Let me go you crazy bitch.” Sarah protested as Agent Bond began tying her left arm to the wooden armrest of her chair.
“ARGH!! It’s too tight.” She cried as the tight rope dug into her soft flesh.
“Tight is good.” Agent Bond said switching her attention to Sarah’s other arm which she bound just as tightly to the other armrest.
Sarah was glad she was wearing her black leather knee length boots and jeans which stopped the ropes digging into the flesh of her legs as Agent Bond then tightly bound her ankles and knees to the legs of the chair.
“Crazy bitch you’ll lose your fucking job when my father hears about this.” Sarah cried as Agent Bond began wrapping more rope around her upper body above and below her large breasts which bulged beneath her pale blue t shirt, securing her to the padded backrest of her chair.
“On the contrary my dear I think your father will thank me for keeping you safe. Remember Sarah I’m doing this for your own good.” Agent Bond replied.
“You’re sick let me go.” Sarah screamed.
“I’ve heard enough out of you for the time being young lady, open your mouth.” Agent Bond said holding a balled up piece of white cloth to Sarah’s mouth.
Sarah clamped her mouth shut.
“Stupid little brat.” Agent Bond whose patience was wearing thin said grabbing hold of Sarah’s nose and pinching her nostrils tightly together.
Sarah held her breath for as long as she possibly could but soon gave in opening her mouth as she gasped for air allowing Agent Bond to force the ball of cloth into her mouth.
“Don’t you dare spit that out.” Agent Bond warned her before picking a silk scarf up off the floor that was in with all her rope. Sarah watched nervously as the agent folded the scarf into a long band and tied a large knot in the middle of the band which she then forced in to Sarah’s mouth making sure the knot went behind her teeth.
She then took the two loose ends of the scarf and tightly knotted them behind Sarah’s head under her long blonde ponytail.
“There now that should keep you out of trouble while finish checking those doors and windows.”
While Agent Bond was away Sarah tugged and pulled on the tight ropes binding her but it was useless escape was impossible she’d been too well tied by the agent who’d obviously done this kind of thing before. It wasn’t long before Agent Bond returned.
“All secure, all the window and doors are locked we should be safe now. It’s now time to report in to H.Q.” She said in a reassuring voice as she took a cell phone from her pocket.
“This is Agent 99 checking in Ma’am.” She said into her phone after dialling a number.
“Everything is under control here Ma’am I’ve secured the building, the girl has been a little uncooperative so unfortunately I’ve had to restrain her for her own safety. Other than that there’s nothing to report. Is there any news of The Dragon Lady’s operatives?”
“We’ve apprehended one of The Dragon Lady’s top operatives in the woodland close to the house so there may be more of them in the vicinity, they obviously know the girl is there so be on your guard at all times 99. If need be we may have to move her to safe house at the drop of a hat, be ready to move her out if necessary as soon as we give you the call 99.”
“Very well Ma’am.”
“Keep up the good work 99.”
“Thank You Ma’am.” Agent Bond said before ending her call.
Just then Sarah’s phone began to ring in Agent Bond’s pocket, Agent Bond stood behind Sarah a put her hand tightly over her already gagged mouth before she answered the called.
“Sarah its Gemma where are you babe?”
"Sorry there is no one called Sarah here you have the wrong number." Agent Bond replied
"It can't be, this is Sarah's number."
"I said there is no one called Sarah here." Agent Bond snapped before ending the call she then switched off Sarah’s phone and removed the battery.
"BITMMMCCHHMMMPPHH!" Sarah screamed into her gag once Agent Bond had removed her hand.
Just then the sound of breaking glass was heard coming from the next room which caused Sarah to panic and scream into her gag.
“Here we go.” Agent Bond said as she pulled her pistol from a holster under her jacket.
Sarah watched helplessly as Agent Bond left her alone in the room as she went investigate the noise. In the next room she spotted a broken window under the window was house brick with an envelope tied to it. Agent Bond untied the envelope, opened it and read the note inside.
“We know the girl is here don’t make us have to come in and take her.” It was signed The Dragon Lady's Daughter.
