The Kidnap Club

Several laughing faces met Calvin’s gaze as he awoke on the couch in Ryan’s house. His face felt strange. Ryan, Jackie, and Fredrick all looked down on him with smiles on their faces. “You silly boy, you thought it was safe to fall asleep there? You’re lucky this is all they did with you!” “What’s going on?” Calvin asked. Or at least tried to. It came out as a “Wmmphh Mmmpph Mmph?”

“Having trouble speaking?” Ryan taunted, followed by Jacking saying, “You might want to look in a mirror.” Calvin did so. In the mirror he could see that his mouth had been wrapped many times with duct tape, and that someone had written “shhhhhh” across the gag accompanied by a large amount of hearts. “Mmmmph….” Calvin grunted. The three of them entered surrounded him and lead him back to the couch, taking hold of his hands. “Ah ah, lets not take it off just yet, this is a good look for you” Fredrick said. Calvin protested but was mockingly met with “indeed, you said that so eloquently.”

“Since you’re in state where you’re more likely to listen and not interrupt, we may as well tell you about the capture the flag game thats going to take place!” Jackie explained. “Pretty simple, were all divided into red team and blue team. The goal is to capture the flag. Of course the flag is a person. We can use Ian, Ryan, or my houses as base points and the game lasts until a flag as been captured, which could be days. Teams can capture and interrogate enemy members for information. There is absolutely no harming of players though, so tickling is usually the optimal choice.”

On the kitchen counter there was a pile of envelops as well as stacks of red and blue duct tape. “The envelops will have a blue or red card in them which decides what team you're on. You’ll take the corresponding color of duct tape. The duct tape is for…well I’m sure you can guess. Make sure you don't lose it!” He continued “One of each teams envelopes also has a flag sticker on the card. That means you’re the flag and need to draw a little flag on yourself somewhere. You’ll want to hide it but at the same time if its too hidden you might entice people to strip search you. There is immediate disqualification for either the flag failing to have the flag symbol on them, or non-flags attempting to draw one on themselves.”

Calvin grabbed the closest envelope. He grabbed a roll of blue tape to go with the blue card in his envelope. Fredrick and Jackie grabbed red rolls. Ryan grabbed a blue roll. “Too bad, if Ryan were red we’d have an easy free prisoner with Calvin” joked Jackie. Calvin started picking at the tape on his face, almost forgetting it was there until now. “Alright then, the game starts at noon. By then all bets are off, anyone can kidnap anyone.”

Quarter to noon, he headed to Ian’s house. Ryan confirmed that Ian was blue team and his house would be an initial meeting point. At the house, Ryan was helping draw a flag on Jonathan’s right pectoral. “Jonathan’s the blue flag, we need to guard him with our life, as well as conceal his identity as the flag from red team. Let’s try to nab anyone we can so we can take out competition and find the red flag.”

“Will just said on his way over as well, we should get ready.” Calvin was confused. “Wait, but Will’s on the red team right?” Ryan smirked, “Indeed he is, the poor guy wasn’t paying close attention to who drew what color. I managed to convince him that I’m red team and this is our hideout. Hopefully he hasn’t managed to get in contact with Jackie since then.”

The door creaked open. Ryan put a finger to his lips and motioned for Calvin to circle around to the front living room. Calvin snuck around through the kitchen and through to the living room, where Will was entering the front door and turning to head into the kitchen. Discreetly walking keeping his footsteps light he felt like something straight out of Metal Gear Solid. Following down the hallway being Will, Calvin was almost surprised that Will still didn’t suspect or hear him coming.

Then the silent take down.

Now pinned against the wall, Will’s astonished yelp was absorbed into Calvin’s hand. Will was not a muscular or strong individual, taking him down while shutting him up wasn’t a particularly difficult task. Nonetheless Calvin enjoyed having the helpless young adult at his mercy.

Ryan finally emerged while peeling some blue duct tape off the roll. “Sorry Will, nothing personal. When you’re not on your toes, you end up our prisoner.” Noticing the blue color of the tape, Will let out “mmmpph” into Calvin’s hand, realizing he had been double crossed. Calvin took away just as Ryan quickly stuffed a rag in his mouth. “You know? I don’t think I’ve ever heard Will speak, he’s always been gagged whenever I’ve seen him” Calvin teased. Will snorted and grunted as Ryan began wrapping the tape tightly around his head. “This guy can’t seem to stay out of trouble. In a way bound and gagged is exactly where he belongs I guess” Ryan mused, to Will’s chagrin.

“Let’s get this helpless POW where he belongs, we’ll interrogate him later” Ryan said as they carried him off into a side bedroom. To Calvin’s surprise, Nate was already in the room designated for prisoners. Someone else must have captured him earlier in the day. It was the first time Calvin saw him without his pup mask on, though this wasn’t much more revealing, as Nate’s eyes and mouth were heavily wrapped with blue duct tape. He silently moaned into his gag as he sat with his limbs wrapped in blue tape as well, in a submissive pose. “Aww look at the prisoners in matching blue” Calvin teased as they sat the taped up Will next to the other prisoner. Will squirmed and protested but there was nothing he could do, the tape kept him completely pacified, indignantly wrapped in the color of the enemy team.

“Hmmm I’ve got an idea” Ryan said, taking out his phone. “We might have some good bargaining leverage for Jackie and the red team”. Hitting record he took a 30 second video of Will and Nate struggling helplessly and sent it to Jackie.

“We’ve got some of your boys” Ryan texted, taunting him and poking the hornets nest.

Then came back two attachments from Jackie. Both of them made their eyes widen. The first was a picture of a tightly bound and gagged figure wrapped in red tape, whom Jackie was mockingly kissing on the temple while holding his chin. Across the taped mouth was the written words “property of team red”. Close inspection showed the identity of the helpless and indignant taped up figure. “Shit, they’ve got Ian” said Ryan. This was bad, Ian was probably team blue’s most effective kidnapper.

The second attachment was a video. The start of the video showed Josh taped up tightly. He was ungagged but there were duct tape marks across his face and a loose ring of red duct tape hung across his neck showing that he’d been tightly gagged until recently. Fredrick was knelt beside him and had his hands positioned on Josh’s sides, tickling ruthlessly. “Say hi to your team mates!” Jackie said as he held the camera in front of both of them with his other arm around Josh. Josh laughed loudly and helplessly, letting out a “guys! Help!” before Jackie’s other hand came up over his mouth and the video message ended.

A text message came from Jackie to Ryan. “You were saying? ”

“How the hell did you snatch Ian?” “Doesn’t matter, he’s mine now ”

Ryan turned his head to Calvin, “go to Jackie’s and see how crowded it is. We’ll see if a rescue attempt is feasible.” “You’re not coming also?” Calvin asked. “Someone has to stay and watch these prisoners, we might need them for some kind of prisoner exchange.”

Calvin parked down the street from Jackie’s. He didn’t want anyone noticing his car pulling up. Crouching and being careful to avoid the windows, Calvin made his way around to the side of the house, trying to get a visual of Ian or Josh who were presumably inside somewhere. Nothing yet.

Calvin suddenly heard fast footsteps behind him but it was far too late to react.

A smaller figure pounced on him from behind. Calvin lost his balance and fell over, he had no leverage to turn around and resist. A set of legs aggressively wrapped themselves around Calvin and held him on the ground, on top of this person. A pair of hands was tightly holding his mouth to silence him, and his chin to keep him from resisting or pulling away.

“Hush. Don’t struggle” said Lance.

Calvin had heard about Lance from Jackie at some point. He was a short and thin 21 year old who was known for loving to sneak up on people and pounce on them, often successfully despite his small size. Now Calvin knew of this first hand.

He grunted and struggled but Lance held him tightly. Calvin could otherwise probably overpower him but Lance had managed to get him in such an awkward position that he couldn’t fight back effectively.

“Guys, over here. I’ve got one” Lance said. Calvin felt a hot paralyzing rush as he realized he had walked right into an ambush.

Fredrick and Todd emerged from around the corner. Todd got to work wrapping Calvin’s legs in red tape. Fredrick held a rag up to Calvin’s face and mused “nothing personal.” Lance took his hand away as Fredrick forced it in Calvin’s mouth and mummified his lower face in red tape. Finally he was flipped over and his arms wrapped tightly.

Into the house they all went.

Calvin was inside Jackie’s house. But not exactly under the circumstances he planned. He was placed in the living room as Fredrick and Lance disappeared, saying “wait here”. Who knows what they were going off to do, or what they planned to come back with.

Now alone, he struggled and grunted but it was no use. They were gone for quite some time.

A door opened and footsteps approached. “Oooo they sent Calvin all by himself, that makes me glad” said Jackie, coming in to check on the new prisoner. “Heh, can’t wait to see Ryan’s face when he sees that his little rescue scout has been nabbed as well.” “Mmmpphhh!” grunted Calvin as he squirmed. He had to act indignant and angry but he was quite thrilled to see Jackie, as always. Jackie squatted down in front of Calvin and looked him in the eyes with a smirk. “Sorry Calvin, you know how this works. Just relax for now.”

These teasing words aroused Calvin very much. He continued to grunt and keep up the act but it was starting to sound more like a soft moan. Jackie held his teasing gaze into Calvin’s eyes.

He knew.

Jackie was effectively inside Calvin’s head but Calvin couldn’t resist. It seemed as though Jackie was toying with Calvin but Calvin hoped with all his heart that the feelings were mutual. Jackie slowly leaned forward and reached out his hand to softly scratch Calvin’s head as he gave a teasing kiss on his forehead. He looked back into Calvin’s eyes to gauge his reaction. Calvin couldn’t help but look longingly at Jackie.

The jeans he was wearing were tightening significantly around Calvin’s groin. Jackie, continuing to smirk averted his eyes down to Calvin’s noticeable bulge. “Hmmmmm” he silent mused, but loud enough to tease Calvin. Jackie looking teasingly at his crotch only served to arouse Calvin more.

Jackie looked over his shoulder to make sure the others weren’t returning yet. Calvin breathed heavily with excitement as Jackie moved in closer, putting his knees on both sides of Calvin, straddling him. His toned body was now intimately pressed up against Calvin’s. Calvin felt Jackie’s arm make its way around his waist and Jackie’s hand tenderly and lovingly take hold of his lower side, his thumb gently caressing. Jackie’s other hand move to the back of Calvin’s head, rest there, and gently bring his head forward to meet his as Jackie softly kissed Calvin’s gagged mouth.

Calvin moaned involuntarily. He was going to burst if this kept up. Jackie every so slightly moved his hips, grinding his now also noticeable bulge against Calvin’s. Calvin could also now feel Jackie’s heartbeat beating against his own chest. Calvin would’ve given anything for this moment to last forever.

A door opened upstairs. Fredrick and Lance could be heard coming back. Jackie pulled his kiss away but continued to hold Calvin in this position for a little longer. Just before he got back up, he put his finger to his lips and gave a “shhhhhh” to Calvin, so soft it tickled his ears.

Jackie was standing back up as they entered the living room. “Ready for his interrogation” Fredrick said.

“Perfect” replied Jackie, giving Calvin his signature teasing pat on the gagged cheek before passing him off to Fredrick. Calvin in that instant felt a complicated mix of captivating enchantment and sinking betrayal.

“Mmmpph!” Calvin grunted as Fredrick picked him up and carried him off. Away from Jackie’s soft euphoric embrace and into whatever horrible fate awaited him.
