Some time had passed; the sun was out now and shining into the windows. Chris was slowly becoming aware of the steady rocking of the car as is moved down the highway. He moaned loudly and started to move his hands. His eye shot open when he realized that they were tied together. He looked at them and the tape that held them together. He tried to free them but it only seemed to make it tighter.
Chris looked around, the car was fairly small and Joey was lying beside him. He kept his movement limited, he could tell that the car was moving but couldn’t easily see the front seat without making it clear that he was awake. Chris wasn’t sure what their plans were for them so thought it best to not alert them that he was conscious yet.
While he waited for Joey to wake, Chris slowly began to peal the tape from his mouth, trying not to yelp as it tugged at the stubble on his face. He almost had it off when Joey started to stir. So he got a good grip and yanked it as hard as he could. Chris put his hand over his mouth and he recovered from the pain.
By now Joey was become aware of the situation. Chris grabbed his arm and directed his attention to him before he completely flipped out. He motioned for Joey to be quiet nodding toward the front seat. Joey nodded that he understood.
Chris reached over and grabbed the edge of the tape that covered Joey’s mouth and carefully pulled it off. Joey gritted his teeth and collected himself, as he slid a little closer to Chris.
“What the hell is going on?” Joey whispered as softly as he could.
“I don’t know I think we have been abducted.” Chris explained trying to recall what had happened the night before. Joey asked him what they wanted just Chris just shook his head, he wasn’t sure himself.
“Right now, I want you to be quiet, so I can sleep.” Katy interrupted. They both looked up at her in shock. She had been listening to them for awhile. The guys recognized her right away as the girl from the club and assumed the other girl was driving.
“What the hell is going on?” Chris snapped no longer concerned about being quiet.
“You know Mandy; you probably should have tied their hand behind their backs.” Katy said ignoring Chris’s question. In hind sight that would have probably been a better idea, but there was nothing Mandy could do about it now. Mandy glanced from time to time into the rearview mirror.
“What the hell did you do to us?” Joey asked still feeling a little hung over and out of sorts.
“That is a good question, what exactly did you do to them?” Mandy questioned realizing that they had not discussed that prior to the kidnapping. Katy spun back around in her seat.
“Let’s just say those shots were extra special. You know the date rape drug is surprisingly easy to come by.” Katy stated.
“You slipped me a roofie?” Chris yelled.
“If it makes you feel any better, I didn’t rape you. In fact I am not even sure that you can rape an unconscious man.” Katy giggled.
“I am sure you can.” Mandy questioned to herself. Chris turned and punched Joey in the arm as hard as he could with his hands tied.
“God damn it Joey, I knew we should accept drinks from strangers.” Chris snapped looking at his friend hatefully. Joey just lay there, after all the girls hadn’t looked dangerous last night from what he could remember. Katy turned and bopped Chris on the head. She pointed at him and told him not to fight. Chris rubbed his head and gave her a dirty look; his head was already killing him from last night. They had a lot to drink before the girls even came over.
“So where are we going?’ Joey asked.
“You’ll see.” Katy replied.“What’s going to happen when we get there?” Joey asked.
“You’ll see.” Both girls answered looking at each other and smiling. Joey just groaned in frustration.
“You do know that my family is farily poor, so if it’s money you want you’ll have to get it from me.” Chris explained. “I think I got about a100 bucks on me.”
“That is very tempting but no. We don’t want your money.” Katy said.
“Well I have to pee.” Chris stated. Katy looked at him and questioned his seriousness. “Well you did abduct us from a bar, where we had been drinking all night. That liquor has to go somewhere. And no I can’t hold it.” He added.
“I have a cup.” Mandy beamed.
“No, he is not urinating in my car.” Katy snapped. She thought for a minute about their options.
“Not that is matter but I kind of have to go too.” Joey chimed in. Mandy looked at Katy and added that she too had to go as well, if they were going to stop. This was not in their plans, they had forgotten that they were all human and it really was a long drive. Katy asked them how long they thought they could hold it.
“A little while, but you know that it is not healthily for a guy to hold it.” Chris pointed out.
“Yes, well your prostrate health doesn’t concern me right now.” Katy replied. She thought they could pull over and just let them go by the side of the road but she was afraid that someone would think that they were having car trouble and stop to help them. They could let anyone see the guys tied up.
“Look for a rest stop, remember on the way over they weren’t very busy.” Katy recalled. They drove a little ways before finally coming to one. Once the car stopped Mandy turned to Katy and asked what the plan was.
“You go inside and do what you need to do then come back and report to me how many people are inside.” Katy said. “Then I’ll go in, I have a dumb plan.” Katy was good at thinking on her feet, and all of this really excited her. She also knew that sometimes the simplest plans worked best. Mandy nodded and got out of the car.
Katy watched her walk into the building, noting how obviously nervous she was as she moved, there were very few cars around and not much movement, Katy wasn’t sure what Mandy had to be worried about, she was just going to the bathroom.
While Mandy was gone Chris lifted himself up to have a look around. Everything Katy had said was correct the rest stop wasn’t very busy at all, not enough to be helpful to him at least. Mandy returned and reported her findings. Katy smiled and instructed her to stay with the guys for a minute as she got out. Katy was gone for awhile, Mandy fidgeted nervously with the keys. But Katy finally returned, walking around back passengers’ side door.
She grabbed her coat from the floor and draped it over Chris’s hands to hide the fact that he was tied up. She motioned to Mandy to get out and do the same for Joey. Mandy followed Katy’s example carefully and then helped Joey out. They locked arms with the guys and lead them inside, to any observers they just looked like a loving couple.
Once Inside Katy guided them to one of the men’s restrooms, there was a sign on it that said it was closed. When Mandy protested, stating that the restroom was closed Katy just smiled and told her it wasn’t closed, it was ‘reserved’. When she had come in to use the restroom she had put the sign up to insure that is would be empty. She snatched her coat and shoved Chris inside. Joey tossed Mandy her sweater and followed Chris into the restroom. Chris walked up to a urinal and proceeded to do what he had come to do.
“What are you doing?” Joey asked.
“What does it look like I am doing? I really had to pee.” Chris explained.
“We need to be thinking of a way out of this place.” Joey whined. Chris was open to suggestions as he finished what he was doing and went to wash his hands.
“We have been abducted by College girls, I am not certain but I am pretty sure that I weight more than both of them combined. I say we just run for it. There is no way that they can’t catch both of us. Then whoever gets away goes for help.” Joey explained.
“I am game, but you may want to use the restroom because on the off chance this plan of yours doesn’t work, I don’t think they are going to be letting us out of the car again until we get to where ever the hell we are going.” Chris answered. Joey agreed and went about his business.
Still outside the door waiting for the guys to finish, Katy and Mandy just flashed each other a smile, having heard their entire conversation. They had fully expected something from the boys. Katy place one hand on her gun and slid her leg in front of the door, bracing herself against the door frame. Mandy got on the other side and did the same.
Joey was washing his hands, while Chris prepared to pull the door open and dart out. Thinking to himself that he was really too old for this. They agreed on a count of 3 as Joey positioned himself to run out first. Chris stopped him for a minute and held out his hands. Chris knew that he couldn’t get the tape off but Mandy Joey could, with their hand free the odds were more in their favor. Joey stopped to undo the tape, and Chris returned the favor. Once that was done and out of the way Chris proceeded to do the count down with his hand, in case the girls were closer than they thought.
On three Chris pulled the door open and Joey darted past him, but quickly tripped once he hit the door frame where the girls had placed their little trap. It all happened so fast that Chris didn’t realize that Joey was down until he tripped on Joey’s legs and landed on top of him. Both men laid there in pain, groaning slightly. The girls could not stifle their laughs; once they composed themselves they helped them up, quickly locking arms with them again.
Katy jammed the barrel of her gun into Chris’s side so that he could feel it, after all tranq gun or not it sure felt real to him when placed as it was. Chris’s eyes widened and he shot her a concerned look. They had considered that the girls might be armed. He willing let her lead him away. Joey let Mandy help him up but once outside he shoved her as hard as he could knocking her down and he took off running.
“Joey, No!” Chris yelled, once he saw what was going on, but Joey couldn’t hear him, just his heart beat as it was racing now. Katy raised her gun and took aim, Chris bummed her as she fired but the tiny dart still struck Joey and he fell to the ground. Chris yelled and took off toward Joey and Katy didn’t try to stop him.
Once there Chris fell to his knees and search Joey for signs of life, finally coming across the tiny dart in his leg. He pulled it out and examined it, and then looked up at Katy puzzled. She kept her gun pointed at him as Mandy glanced around them, but luckily no one was around now.
“Seriously, if we wanted you dead, don’t you think we would have done it already, Instead of hauling your asses someplace else? Now get up and pick him up.” Katy explained. Chris slowly got to his feet.
“Why should I carry him? You’re the one that shot him and he’s your hostage.” Chris asked getting in her face a little.
“Because, he’s heavy and you’re his friend. But if you need a third reason, because I said so and I am the one with the gun.” Katy snapped. Her eyes were intense and fixed on him. Chris groaned in anger, then knelt down and tried to lift Joey. He quietly complained to himself that Joey had put on a little weight since they stopped tour, then again so had he.
Katy finally put her gun away and went to Chris’s aid, hoping to get out of there before any one saw them. Mandy stayed close with her hand on her gun, making sure that Chris could see her at all times. Mandy opened the hatch and they loaded Joey in, Chris flashed Katy a hateful look her before climbing in himself.
Before shutting the hatch Katy got the tape out and smiled at Chris. He sighed and held his hands out to her. She shook her head and motioned for him to turn around first, she wanted to do it right this time and really limit his actions. She worked to quickly bind her hands behind his back and then did the same to Joey.
“It’s your turn to drive.” Mandy beamed as she tossed Katy’s the keys. She agreed and got in, noting that Chris was awkwardly silent for the rest of the trip and as Chris suspected they didn’t stop again to use the restroom.
