She makes the call and I give her a kiss before hopping in the car with Johnny and we head away from the compound grounds. We're only on the road for half an hour but finding a wooded area and dirt road is easy if you drive long enough. It's only Johnny, our new friend and two of Johnny's trusted hands, one guy and one girl, as we wander through the woods. I'm singing out loud and being my happily creepy self as we keep going and only stop when my song ends. I take out my first items, two rolls of duct tape and hand them to Johnny's people.
"Tape him to the tree but don't cover his chest or groin," I tell them as they start to work.
He's resisting a little but he's outnumbered as Johnny helps them tape him to the tree by his wrists, then ankles and continuing with his knees and elbows. All major joints are held down when I take out a rag.
"I am offering you one last chance, for a ride back to civilization now tell me everything else you know," I offer again before this becomes an untenable situation.
"I am gonna fuck you u….," is as far as I let him get before stuffing the cloth in his mouth.
It takes a second to wrap his mouth with tape so he can't scream which makes me smile. He wants to scream and talk but it's all muffled. I start to open up his clothing till I have him bare chested then comes the interesting part as I undo his pants and pull them down exposing his manhood to the elements. I held out my hand since Johnny had to get me the last piece to this hilarious situation, a squeeze bottle of syrup. I open the bottle and now my friend is looking at me confused and scared.
"There are no major predators out here, just deer and raccoons mostly if you want to get technical. Now a little known fact is that deer teeth are very hard and like most herbivores they tend to grind all that they chew on," I tell my new friend as he starts looking to the other's and back to me," Now a deer won't have anything to do with you but if you are covered in syrup they will lick what they can off and chew on anything that tastes like syrup."
I start to unload the bottle on him and he's panicking a lot for someone who was so strong in the situation just a half hour ago. I could undo the tape and hear more but I have a plan. I crouch down and start to coat his genitals in the remainder of the syrup and almost laugh as he tries to keep more from getting on them but to no avail. I have the girl with us rub the syrup around his nuts and tackle before she turns and gives me thumbs up. I take out the phone he had and dial up the number and put it on speaker. It rings a bit then I hear the line pick up but no voice as I hold the phone to the friend, it's all muffled screams into the handset and I watch as the phone hangs up. His contact hung up on him and he's crying as I turn and walk back to the car leading Johnny and his people. As soon as we're in the car I stop Johnny from starting up the car.
"Anyone know what the best game in the world is," I ask and everyone looks at me," It's the one where you have someone opposing you with every fiber of their being and the whole time you're just trying to be nice to them."
"So we're not leaving him here," Johnny asks.
"Well I am, drive me back then come back and pick him up. Remember everything he tells you and if it's important have one of your people issue it to me in writing on Monday," I tell him as we head back.
Total time before I'm home is long enough that I literally walk in as dinner is being set down. I explained that I was spending time with Cory and helping out when Katy rolls in tired from some studies group. I help clear the table for Mom and go see Katy who is studying at the little desk in her room and I crawl onto her bed and just watch her quietly as she works.
"Jun got me into a study group, I spent a week trying to find one and he found one in a few minutes," Katy informs, moving to the bed and sitting down.
"Someone tried to rob Johnny," I tell her, getting a really odd look," No shit, someone gave them a burner phone and a different someone told them where to break into Johnny's place and steal the product."
"What happened," Katy asks concerned.
"Well one decided to tell me pretty much everything, the other is taped to a tree covered in syrup," I tell her and Katy starts laughing.
"Why did they tape him to a tree and cover him with syrup," She asks, still chuckling.
"I did it, he didn't want to talk and I didn't think an ass kicking would help so they left him out there for an hour and Johnny went back to get him. They'll talk some more and hopefully Johnny will get something important out of him and if there is anything I can do he'll ask," I tell Katy pulling at her clothes.
"You realize I'm very tired and we can't have the sex I want because we'll wake the parents," She tells me as we cuddle up.
"Kori thought I was faking my way through the presidency this year and we had make up sex earlier," I tell her as she gives me a put off look.
"You already got some and you come in here looking to get my hopes up," Katy asks or states, not sure which.
"No I come in here because I miss you when you are away being a sexy college student and I love you," I tell her sweetly.
I get a couple nice kisses and then a deep long one before she pulls me out of my clothing and I strip her down and we decide sleep is a good thing. I'm up Saturday morning bright and early and I pull Katy with me as we head to the Gym in the garage to work out and wake up. Dad didn't join us this morning, he's been letting us work alone but we still see him in the gym working out by himself for a change. We finish showering and eat a quick breakfast as I figure out what I'm doing today, and once I'm all geared up I head out to Ben's house on Black Sunshine. I like to alternate the bikes regularly and while Pale Horse is a good ride sometimes I want speed and that means my first bike. I get over to Ben's house and find him outside working on a wood pile with an ax. I know he knows I'm there but I decide to let him approach me as I sit on a few of the big rounds that he has to split.
"Am I out yet," Ben finally asks me without breaking from his work.
"Never wanted to put you out, still don't and nobody else wants you out either. Now would you kindly come down off the hangman's rope and talk a bit," I ask him as he splits another piece.
"Nobody helped me on the trip, you and everyone else just sat there feeding Elizabeth pictures and times when I was screwing around. I thought at least one person would have my back," Ben tells me before setting up another piece of wood," I get that she's your sister but after she broke up with me you didn't even try to get her to consider getting back together with me."
"Maybe I could have if she didn't have this all planned for a few months. She gave you an out; I gave you an out man. You just couldn't be honest with her, that's what killed it. YOU couldn't be honest with her," I tell him emphasizing the points of failure on his part," Yeah Liz was harsh when she broke up with you but how do you think she felt with you for two months when you couldn't even bother to tell her the truth."
"So you just let her break up with me and date Kyle, the same guy you fucking kicked the shit out of last year like nothing," Ben states continuing his work.
"I don't tell her who to date and who not to date. I tried to get you to save your relationship but you didn't want to listen to me. Now instead of getting over it and moving on you are moping around like someone just cut your dick off," I inform him and he finally stops with the wood cutting.
"You think I'm some fucking eunuch that you can just order around cause I fucked up," Ben says dropping the ax.
"No I think you're being a whiney little bitch and not manning up to your own fuck up. I know it's my sister but get over her and move the fuck on. She was fucking harsh
in the break up but guess who talked about it at school, not a fucking person. WHY?! Because I told them not to you dumb son of a bitch," I go from calm to yelling in a matter of seconds and while Ben is still pissed he's not bowing up on me.
"You told everyone to keep it quiet," He asks skeptically.
"Like it or not you are my friend and you are just as much a part of my crew as Liz is. She didn't like that I made her keep quiet about it but I drove that fucking point home by telling her if she spoke up she was out. Yeah what you did was wrong but either this crew sticks together and keeps each other's backs or you're out," I tell him explaining the gag clause on Ben's escapades.
"Why fucking bother, no woman is interested in me anyway," Ben says sitting down on his chopping block.
"Probably because you're walking around like the world ended, no girl wants to be with a guy who is more of a whiney bitch than she is on her worst day," I tell him plainly," Dude suck it up, start coming around and this will pass. I promise you by Christmas if you don't have a woman I will go recruiting to get you laid."
"I might need that but thanks Guy, I didn't know about you making this a secret," Ben says, hanging his head.
"You need to get back involved with the group man; you're my eyes and ears guy. Nobody spots problems and faster than you man, also Kori feels bad since you have been so depressed," I tell him so he can get a lay of the land as it were.
