Elaine and Julie are further humiliated because of last night's
poker game. (Sequel to "A Night Out")
"Was it all a dream?" Mark wondered to himself as he lay in bed and thought about the events of the previous night. The sight of his stepmother and Elaine naked bound and gagged with their hair cut short was something he was not going to forget in a long time. As he lay there he listened for several minutes but there was not a sound coming from anywhere else in the house.
"The other two must still be asleep," he decided, "after all they did have a hard night." Then he remembered that Elaine was still trussed up in the lounge and in a flash he was out of bed and hurriedly getting dressed.
"Somebody ought to check she is alright," he told himself as he buttoned his shirt, but really he just wanted to get another look at his neighbour’s naked body, especially her magnificent breasts….. As he pulled on his shoes he recalled that Julie had decreed that Elaine be left tied for the night.
"I’ll get some sleep and deal with her in the morning" were her exact words and Mark knew that today was going to turn out to be very interesting. In fact it was going to turn out far more interesting than he could ever have imagined.
Mark crept down the stairs and quietly opened the lounge door. He put his head round the door to see that Elaine was fast asleep on the sofa, still naked and still bound although he was rather disappointed to see that her back was facing towards him to him . He toyed with the idea of waking her but then heard movement from upstairs, Julie was obviously awake, and he decided that it would definitely be more fun to let his stepmother rouse their sleeping neighbour. So he slipped out of the room and went into the kitchen with Julie appearing about 5 minutes later just as Mark had finished making some coffee.
"Is she still asleep?" Julie immediately asked
"Yep," Mark replied trying to sound casual.
"Good, I’m going to make sure she really regrets last night," Julie added.
Mark was excited, "This is going to be fun," he thought to himself, knowing that his stepmother could be a devious bitch when she put her mind to it.
Julie poured herself a coffee and sat down at the kitchen table opposite Mark to drink it.
"Err, what are you going to do about your hair?" Mark asked her, looking at the remains of her hairstyle.
"I’ll sort that later," Julie replied, "but right now I intend to sort that stupid cow in the lounge, she really dropped me in it last night." And with that she downed the last of her coffee, slammed the mug on the table and marched through to the lounge. Mark made sure he was not far behind her and entered the room just in time to see his stepmother tip the still sleeping Elaine off the sofa. She awoke with a muffled cry as she hit the floor and this was closely followed by a rather higher pitched scream, although still stifled by the tape across her mouth, as Julie gave her neighbour a sharp kick in the back. Elaine was coming to her senses as Julie said, "Let me help you up," and with that hauled Elaine to her feet by her hair, causing her to emit yet another muffled cry. Still holding the bound woman’s hair Julie brought her face close to Elaine’s, Mark could see that there was a certain amount of fear in her eyes, and said, "Now listen to me very carefully. Last night you caused me to lose all my clothes , have my hair cut off and then be bound and gagged before being left to walk across town completely naked. Not only that but we were nearly caught by the police and when we finally got home I had to expose myself to my stepson, and it is all your fault!"
Elaine tried to say something but it was completely unintelligible through the tape.
"What did you say?" Julie asked in an angry voice as she grabbed a corner of the tape and ripped it from Elaine’s mouth in one vicious pull.
This time Elaine’s cry was not muffled and when she had recovered from the shock of having the tape suddenly removed she repeated in a small whisper, "I’m so sorry I really am, what can I do to make it up to you?"
"Well I don’t know," Julie replied, stringing the nervous woman along. "What do you think Mark?"
Mark who had been thoroughly enjoying the unfolding spectacle was suddenly rather taken aback at being included in it.
"I.. er.. I don’t really know" he stammered thinking rapidly. "How about if she cleans my bedroom for me," he finished lamely, not really sure how far he could go.
"That’s a bit tame," his stepmother retorted, "but if you like she can clean your room for the next month. She’ll also be doing it naked starting as of tomorrow."
Elaine didn’t dare argue
"But right now, I have something a little more daring for you, Mark get the scissors from the kitchen, she’ll need her hands for this."
Reluctantly Mark complied as he wanted to hear what his stepmother had planned, and he had just got the scissors from the kitchen drawer when he heard Elaine utter a pleading "NO!. Please don’t make me do that."
Mark hastily headed back to the lounge only to collide in the doorway with a naked Elaine being manhandled out of the room by Julie. He could resist a quick feel of her breasts as he pushed up against her, they felt so good.
"Cut her arms free," Julie told him and he did as he was told easily cutting through the tape and then pulling it off of Elaine’s wrists. Mark didn’t have chance to ask what was happening before Julie frog-marched the stark naked woman through the kitchen and literally threw her out of the door locking it behind her. He watched in amazement as Elaine pounded on the door and begged to be let in . Julie stood with arms folded for a minute with an amused smirk on her face before telling her, "I’ll let you back in when you’ve done what I’ve told you to do," and then she turned on her heel and walked past Mark back into the lounge. Curiosity finally overcame him and he rushed after Julie.
"What does she have to do?" he blurted out as soon as he entered the room.
Julie, who was just settling down on the sofa, looked up at him and grinned.
"Oh, nothing that difficult. I just want my car washed."
Mark was stunned for a moment and then laughed. "Lucky for her it's parked on the drive beside the house and not on the road at the front," he joked.
"Shit," Julie replied, "I wish I’d thought of that and I’d have moved it"
"Christ!" Mark thought to himself she probably would have as well!
"Well," Julie said suddenly standing up, "are we going to stay here or are we going to watch the entertainment outside." There was no need for Mark to reply, he just smiled at his stepmother. Julie decided that they would get a good view from her bedroom window and led the way upstairs, Mark’s heart was pounding as he followed her, this was better than he could have ever expected. Once in the bedroom they went straight over to the window and looked down .Julie was right, Mark decided almost immediately, there was a good view from this window, they would be able to see all that happened from their vantage point. The car was there and so was an uncoiled hose, but at first Mark could not see Elaine. Then he spotted her peeking round the end of the garage, a few seconds later she scurried out from her cover, clutching a bucket of soapy water, and went over to the car. It was clear that she had realized that the only way to get back inside was to wash the car as quickly as possible and she was sponging the soap on as fast as she could, pausing only occasionally to glance up the drive to see if anybody was watching her from the road. She wasn’t aware that Mark and Julie were watching her, although that wouldn’t have bothered her, she was far more concerned about being spotted by a passer by, or worse still somebody she knew. This last thought spurred her on to wash the car even faster and in no time she was turning the hose on to rinse off the suds, washing a car stark naked in broad daylight was not her idea of fun, but she knew Julie was mad at her and most likely had even worse in store.
Up in the bedroom it was apparent that Elaine was nearly finished and Julie said "I’d better go down and make sure she’s done it properly." But when she had gone half way across the bedroom she stopped and turned to Mark,
"On second thoughts, you can go if you want."
Marks confidence was growing all the time and he readily agreed.
"Good, it’ll be even more embarrassing for her" Julie added.
As Mark went down the stairs she called after him, "And make sure you take your time checking the car, keep her waiting."
"OK," Mark called back.
He reached the kitchen door, took a deep breath, unlocked it and stepped outside just as Elaine was turning off the hose. She looked round and blushed slightly when she saw it was Mark, after all he was not much older than some of the pupils she taught.
"I’ve finished," she said quietly at the same time as unconsciously shielding her breasts from Marks gaze with her left arm, "Can I come back in?"
Mark put on his sternest voice and replied, "Not until I’ve made sure you have washed the car properly, now follow me."
Mark then spent several minutes walking round the car finding fault with it, he made Elaine follow him and drew her attention to the bits she had missed. The naked woman was growing increasingly nervous and kept glancing towards the road, still fearful of being spotted as she followed Mark around. Finally Mark stopped and looked at her.
"Not good enough, do it again."
"NOOOO!" Elaine wailed as Mark set off towards the kitchen door. She grabbed hold of his arm to stop him and begged to be allowed back in.
Mark pushed her away and laughed. "Only joking," he laughed. "It will do."
Virtually sobbing with relief Elaine headed for the comparative safety of the kitchen but was stopped as Mark said, "But first you can put away the hose." Elaine didn’t argue but coiled the hose up as fast as she could before hurrying into the kitchen. Her relief was short lived, however, as stood in the middle of the kitchen floor was Julie with her hands on her hips.
"Having fun?" she enquired of her naked neighbour. Elaine did not reply but looked nervously at the floor. "I’m glad you're so interested in my floor," Julie continued, as Mark came into the room behind Julie, "because you're going to get on your hands and knees and scrub it for me in a few minutes." She then paused before adding "with this" and held up a nail brush. Elaine didn’t protest; it was considerably better than being outside.
"Before you start, Mark and I are going to have a coffee and think up more things for you to do so you can go and kneel in the middle of the hallway with your hands on your head while we talk about you." Mark and his stepmother watched as she did as she was told without protest and Julie then closed the door but before she could utter a single word the phone rang . She opened the kitchen door she had just closed and went into the hall to answer it.
Julie picked up the phone.
"Hello," she said, and then, "Oh Hi, Dave, whereabouts are you." It was her husband calling from some foreign port. "South Africa, well it will a few weeks before you’re back home then".
"Just as well," Mark thought to himself, "It’ll give your hair chance to grow."
"No, nothing of excitement happening round here," Julie said continuing her conversation and glancing at the naked Elaine kneeling in the middle of the hall. Mark shot her a withering look and Julie grinned back sheepishly before continuing her conversation. Mark wandered off into the lounge whilst Julie chatted to her husband but after about 5 minutes he heard his stepmother call, "Mark, your father would like to talk to you."
Mark wandered back to the hall to be met by Julie holding out the phone to him. Her finger was firmly on the mute button as she hissed, "For gods sake, don’t tell him what has happened."
At that moment a devious idea flashed into Mark’s mind, prompted by the events of the last 24 hours, and instead of promising his stepmother not to spill the beans he said, "Unless you're out of your clothes in the next thirty seconds and kneeling next to Elaine, I’ll tell him all that there is to tell.
Julie’s mouth dropped open in a mixture of shock and amazement and Elaine was heard to gasp loudly. "You wouldn’t do that to me?" Julie asked extremely nervously, Mark just grinned in reply. Julie clearly didn’t know whether he was bluffing or not and hesitated for several seconds. Then she thrust the phone at Mark having decided that he was not going to tell.
"Hi Dad" Mark spoke into the receiver,
"Hi, Mark" came a very clear reply from Dave despite the fact he was in South Africa. "You keeping alright?"
"Yes fine thanks," Mark replied,
"Good, and looking after Julie for me, I trust?" Dave asked laughingly.
"Looking after Julie," Mark repeated as he watched an expression of horror spread over his stepmother’s face.
"Just a second," and punched the mute button.
"Well, what’s it to be?" Mark asked the wide eyed Julie, at the same time he noticing a slight smirk on the still kneeling Elaine’s face. Julie decided she couldn’t take the chance as to whether or not he was bluffing.
"You bastard," she spluttered and very quickly pulled her jumper over her head frantically tossing it behind her, it had hardly touched the ground before her sandals were off and her skirt was on its way past her knees. At this point Mark resumed the conversation with his father.
"Sorry about that, some idiot at the door, where were we?" he continued. "Oh, I remember, Julie is behaving herself most of the time," he told his father. This brought another gasp from her as her bra flew across the room. His father laughed at his son’s seemingly joking remark.
"Good," he said, "make sure she stays out of trouble." It was Mark’s turn to laugh, firstly at his father’s comment and secondly at Julie as she virtually ripped her knickers off and unceremoniously plonked herself on the floor next to Elaine. She looked up at him and in response Mark motioned to her to put her hands on her head like Elaine whilst continuing to talk to his father.
It wasn’t long before Dave had to finish the phone call and Mark said his goodbyes before holding the phone up for Julie to do likewise. Quite what Dave would have done if he had known his wife had been stripped naked during his call but he was totally ignorant of the goings on of the past night which Mark decided was probably for the best. He put the phone down and there was silence.
Julie eventually broke it by saying, "I suppose you think that is funny," in a rather angry voice.
"No, not really," Mark replied, " I just thought that as you’ve had your revenge on Elaine here, it was now my turn to pay you back for the fright you gave me last night."
"Piss off," Julie retorted and started to get up.
"STOP!" Mark ordered in a loud voice that did actually make Julie stop and also Elaine flinch. "You’d better do as I say or I’ll tell the full story to Dad when he gets back," and broke into a broad grin.
Julie dejectedly resumed her position on her knees and looked up at Mark, she knew when she was beaten.
"Before Dad rang," he began, at the same time walking round behind the naked women, " You were going to get Elaine to scrub the kitchen floor on her hands and knees, well, now you can help her." He let that sink in before ordering them both to crawl into the kitchen and watched in delight as their did so with breasts swinging in front of them and bottoms wiggling behind. Mark wandered into the kitchen a moment later to see his stepmother and neighbour stood at the sink filling a bucket.
"Hurry up," he ordered in the most authoritative voice he could summon up and in a short space of time both woman were on their hands and knees scrubbing. Just for good measure he wandered over and picking up a plastic ruler that was on the table applied it lightly to their upturned bottoms.
The response was a couple of yelps followed by Julie hissing, "Bastard" between clenched teeth . He was just sitting down to watch them when the phone rang again. Julie stared to get up but was stopped by Mark.
"Don’t stop," he ordered, " I’ll get it." And went into the hallway to answer it shutting the kitchen door behind him..
The two women heard him talking on the phone but the door ensured they could not hear exactly what was being said. They presumed it was one of his friends and continued to scrub the floor . Both felt extremely foolish to have ended up like this but neither said a word to the other, Julie still blamed Elaine for the whole sad affair and Elaine did not want to antagonize Julie even further, so they just scrubbed. They were almost half finished when Mark strode back into the kitchen.
"Get up" he said sounding very serious, "We’ve got real trouble."
The naked pair exchanged puzzled glances and did as Mark asked, they could tell by his voice that it was no longer a game. As they rose Mark continued, "That was that pratt Ian on the phone, the one you "entertained" last night," the two women were now very worried.
"What did he want." Julie asked anxiously.
"He said he had one or two little ideas on how you might like to get back the clothes you lost last night."
"No chance," Julie retorted.
"He can keep the clothes," Elaine added.
"Unfortunately," Mark interrupted, "there is a catch." Both women turned ashen as he went on, "Apparently Ian and his chums had a hidden camera and if you don’t want to attempt to get your clothes back they will post pictures of the whole evening on the Internet." Elaine gasped in horror whilst Julie just stared at Mark in disbelief.
"That’s blackmail," she cried
"I suppose your right," Mark agreed sadly, "but do you really have any choice?"
There was silence in the room for over a minute whilst they all tried to think of a way out of the situation. Nothing was forthcoming and at last Elaine sighed and said, "What do we have to do for him?"
Mark looked at her and replied " I don’t really know, all I have is a place we have to go to."
"We?" Julie queried, "What’s it got to do with you?"
"I don’t know," Mark answered, "but I was told I have to drive you."
"Oh well" Julie said, " We’d better get some clothes and prepare to be humiliated again."
"I’m afraid not," Mark told them uneasily. "Ian said you are only to wear shoes and coats and nothing else."
"I’m not doing that." Elaine blurted, " He can get lost"
"Oh shut up," Julie ordered putting on her stern voice. "Remember it was you who caused all this."
Elaine didn’t respond, she knew Julie was right.
"I’ll lend you a coat and shoes since you didn’t bring any with you," she added her voice softening again. Mark smiled inwardly at his stepmother’s veiled sarcasm and a mental image of Julie and Elaine standing on the doorstep naked and bound that previous night flashed before his eyes.
"Neither of you came back with anything," he thought to himself.
Julie’s voice brought him back to the present
"Where have we got to go?" she asked
"Quite a few miles out of town," Mark replied, "well into the country"
"Oh dear, I don’t like this at all, " Elaine added nervously.
Julie just glared at her and went to get some coats and shoes.
Five minutes later the two women walked nervously out of the house and went and stood by the car, they waited for Mark to lock the house and then unlock the car. Both were just wearing coats and shoes, as they had been instructed, being completely naked underneath. They were extremely nervous not at their immediate predicament, to a passer by they only looked slightly odd wearing big winter coats on a bright summer day, but instead dreading what lay ahead of them. Mark joined them unlocked the car and they all got in, Mark driving, Julie in the front passenger seat and Elaine in the back. As they set off out of the drive and down the road Mark explained to them that they were to go to a place where Ian had told him to take them and instructions would be there as to what would happen next.
"Bit melodramatic isn’t it?" Elaine said
"Yes," Mark agreed, "this Ian is one weird guy."
They drove quite some way out into the country before Mark turned of the main road and took them down some narrow country lanes, eventually they turned of these and went down a track which wasn’t even tarmaced, into a forest. Mark drove the car down the track for about three miles until they came to a gate, they all saw an envelope taped to the gate. This was obviously the right place so Mark turned off the engine and they all sat there, nobody speaking. Finally Julie broke the ice.
"Well, go and read it then, we can’t sit here for ever."
Mark just nodded in response, got out of the car and strode to the gate. The women hardly dare breathe as he pulled it off and tore it open . He then studied the contents before slowly shaking his head and returning to the car. As he got in Elaine could contain herself no more,
"What does it say?" she almost squeaked in a high pitched voice.
"Just get out of the car and take off your shoes and coats," Mark replied, "It says here I can’t tell you in advance." Julie shrugged and got out , immediately starting to unbutton her coat . Mark got out of his side of the car and walked round to the front to meet his stepmother. Julie removed her coat, handed her coat to Mark and then put her hand on the car bonnet to steady herself whilst she took off her shoes. At this point she noticed that Elaine was still sitting in the car and angrily told her, "Get out of there now or I’ll drag you out by what is left of your hair." Elaine needed no more encouragement and quickly joined the once more naked Julie at the front of the car. She was soon out of her coat and shoes and couldn’t help but glance around furtively . Julie stood there with her hands on her hips, she was no longer bothering to try and hide her nakedness.
"Now what, Mark?" she asked none too pleasantly, clearly wanting to get on with it. "I suppose you're going to have to drive off and leave us here?"
"Actually, no," Mark responded, "and don’t take it out on me, none of this is my fault."
"Sorry," Julie apologized "but lets get on."
"Right" said Mark, got into the driving seat again. He turned the ignition but did not start the engine instead pushing the button to wind down the passenger side electric window. Julie and Elaine exchanged puzzled glances but said nothing.
"Stick your heads through the window" Mark told them.
"Why?" Julie asked
"Just do it please" Mark sighed. Both women did so and Mark pressed the button to wind up the window.
"Whoa!" they both cried and quickly pulled back.
"What do you think you're doing?" Julie asked angrily, bending down to look through the window at Mark.
"As instructed," Mark said simply
"O shit," Elaine was heard to mutter under her breath as both women resigned themselves to their fate and placed their heads back through the window. Mark raised it once more stopping once the window was far enough up to stop Elaine and Julie removing their heads but allowing them plenty of room to breathe. He then turned off the ignition .
"What happens now?" Julie asked, nervousness clearly apparent in her voice.
"Er, I pick up your clothes and leave," Mark replied.
"MARK!" Julie cried
"Bye," was all Mark said and with that he picked the coats and shoes and walked off down the lane.
"Don’t go," Elaine cried desperately .
"Mark, don’t leave us," Julie called after him.
Mark ignored their pleas and walked about 15 yards down the lane before stopping and turning round. He was treated to the delicious sight of two naked female bodies squirming and writhing as they tried to free themselves. He stood and watched for several minutes as the women’s and bottoms gyrated around and their breasts swung back and forth as they tried desperately to extricate their heads. Then with one last look he turned smiling and set off once more down the lane.
Elaine and Julie were mortified when Mark bid them farewell, both tried to free themselves for several minutes before realizing it was futile.
"What are we going to do?" Elaine wailed
"There is nothing we can do except wait" Julie replied mournfully as the full impact of their situation began to sink home. Here they were in possibly a worse situation than the previous night. They were completely naked and trapped in a car window unable to do anything except stand there. At least the night before had seen them able to move around despite their bound wrists and taped mouths. Now they were helpless and at the mercy of anybody who came along. Elaine tried to get her arm through the window to press the window button but Julie pointed out that it wouldn’t work with the ignition off so they ended up just standing bent over and contemplating their vulnerability. It wasn’t very comfortable standing bent over at the waist looking at nothing but a car seat and after about 20 minutes both women were feeling very stiff. To make matters worse they were pressed close together to get their heads through the same window and as they moved to ease the aches their naked bodies rubbed together something that neither of them relished having no tendencies in that direction at all.. They spoke very little preferring to immerse themselves in their individual thoughts and wondering what would happen next. It was over an hour later, although the women had lost track of time, when they both stiffen as the sound of a car was heard coming down the lane. Their hearts began to beat rapidly and both broke into a sweat.
"O god" Julie moaned as the sound of the car grew louder.
Elaine screwed her eyes shut and just started saying, "Oh shit, oh shit" over and over again.
The car pulled up behind the one imprisoning the hapless pair and someone got out, frustratingly the women were powerless to see who it was only able to look at the passenger seat. They heard footsteps come round behind them, Julie held her breath, Elaine just kept repeating "O Shit!"
Julie took a deep breath and plucked up courage to speak.
"Can you help us please?" she asked in a wavering voice
Silence greeted her.
"Please," she asked again.
"I was just admiring the view, besides I recognize those hair cuts anywhere" a voice behind them spoke, Julie felt a mixture of relieve and apprehension, it was Ian.
"Comfy, ladies?" he asked
"No, let us go and give us our clothes," Julie told him
"Yes", Elaine joined in, " haven’t you had enough fun at our expense?"
"I haven’t got your clothes," Ian informed them, "but if you do what I ask you’ll get them back."
"No way," Elaine retorted
"Yes, go to hell," Julie joined in.
"Right then, if that’s how you feel then I’ll be off," Ian curtly told them.
As the women heard his footsteps leaving they conceded defeat and Julie called out, "Come back, don’t leave us, we’ll do what you ask."
"Yes we will," Elaine added in a panicky voice.
The footsteps returned.
"I thought you’d see it my way," Ian said mockingly and went round to the drivers side of the car. He leant in turned the ignition and then lowered the window to allow the women to get their heads out. As they carefully stood up stretching their stiff backs Ian raised the window of the car again before going to the rear and opening the boot. Much to the puzzlement of Julie And Elaine he then took the spare wheel out and went and put it in his own car before returning and locking up Julie’s. The naked pair stood there and watched but didn’t dare ask what was happening, they just knew they wouldn’t enjoy whatever Ian had cooked up. As he put the keys to Julie’s car in his pocket he turned to them and said, "Right, get into the back of my car, we’re going for a ride."
The two women stood there and didn’t move.
""Come on," Ian urged, "unless you want to be left here naked and locked out of your car."
That did the trick and they quickly got into the back of the car. Ian got behind the wheel, started the engine and set off down the track.
Julie and Elaine said nothing as they trundled down the track, they exchanged worried glances but remained silent, Ian began to whistle tunelessly to himself and started to aim for the potholes in the road. It was a poor surface and there were plenty of them, each time the car lurched through one he glance in his rear view mirror and caught sight of two pairs of naked breasts swinging wildly . After a while Julie realized what was happening and blushing she put one arm across her chest to block his view, Elaine soon copied her. Finally they reached the end of the track where it joined the narrow county lane and turned into a small car park. Julie and Elaine shrank down in their seats as they realized there were several cars parked there already but fortunately there was nobody in them, the occupants were no doubt walking in the forest. Ian turned off the engine and turned round to the women.
"Time to get out," he said smiling.
"What’s going to happen?" Elaine asked nervously, "Where are our clothes?"
"Yes, please can we have them now," Julie added.
"Come on out of the car and I’ll explain what you have to do." Was all Ian said in reply. Both women groaned and slipped out of the car before crouching down behind the side that shielded them from the road. Ian went to the boot opened it, removed the spare wheel and a length of chain and then went round to the hiding women. "All you have to do is walk back down the lane," he began to tell them, "Then get in your car and drive back here, I’ll leave your clothes behind that tree over there."
Julie felt a sudden flush of anger.
"So its as simple as that," she spat. "We just walk down a lane completely naked and then drive back down it equally naked, what guarantee have we got that you will leave our clothes here."
Ian didn’t bat an eyelid at Julie’s outburst; instead he replied, "Your clothes will be here, and that’s a promise, if I wasn’t going to leave them I’d tell you. But I thought an ordinary walk down the lane would be a bit boring so I’ve made it a bit more of a challenge."
With that he picked up one end of the chain grabbed Elaine’s wrist and snapped on a handcuff which was fastened to the end of it. Elaine snatched her wrist away but it was too late she was secured.
"I made these specially," Mark told them as he threaded the other end of the chain through the spare wheel and then approached a retreating Julie.
"Wrist, now!" he ordered, "or I leave you both here as you are."
Julie slowly held out her arm and Ian fastened the other handcuff to her. He then took her car keys out of his pocket, tied a piece of string to them and hung them around Elaine’s neck so they wouldn’t get lost. "There we are" he said standing back to admire his handiwork, "That should make things a bit more interesting." Both women pulled on the chain which was about ten feet long and then realized that not only would they have to walk back to the car naked but they would be chained together and also have a car wheel for company.
"You can’t do this," Julie pleaded, "It must be miles to our car, somebody might see us"
"I can and I will," Ian replied, " and anyway its only 2 ½ miles to your car so stop moaning and get walking .
"Oh no!" Elaine wailed
"Just get going," Ian ordered, "or I’ll not leave you any clothes at all, and by the way the keys to the handcuffs are in your car boot."
Elaine stated to plead again but was cut short by Julie, "Come on lets get going before somebody sees us."
Elaine saw her point and between them they picked up the spare wheel, and set off, carrying it flat they managed to pile the excess chain on top to save them tripping over it. As they left the car park and set off down the track it was soon apparent that progress was going to be slow, in fact, painfully slow; bare feet on a rough track meant that they were soon hobbling along with very painful feet.
Ian watched as they disappeared out of sight down the lane, smiling to himself. As he did a figure emerged from the nearby trees and came and stood by him.
"I can’t believe they’re actually doing this," the new arrival said.
"Well it was your idea," Ian responded, "you’ve got a mind more devious than mine."
"Yes, I suppose I have," came the reply, "and I wonder what they’ll do when they find out there never was a camera at all."
"I would rather know what will happen when they find out this was all your idea," Ian laughed
"Who says I’m going to tell them........" replied a grinning Mark.
Elaine and Julie were struggling, the tyre was getting heavier and they’re feet were killing them. Both women were covered in sweat as they headed down the track, they said little other than to encourage each other to keep going, it was obvious that the quicker progress they made the sooner their ordeal would be over . But they were soon flagging and then Elaine stumbled and fell, she lay flat on her face and sobbed, "I can’t go on, I just can’t."
"Get up please" Julie pleaded, "We’ve got to keep going."
"No, I can’t," Elaine just lay there and Julie lost her cool.
"GET UP NOW, YOU FUCKING BITCH," she yelled, "OR I’LL KICK YOU ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE CAR."
Elaine had never heard Julie speak like that before and looked up at her in amazement. Julie was about to unleash another tirade when the both heard voices ahead of them.
"Quick, into the trees," Julie ordered in a hushed voice as they frantically picked up the wheel and headed for relative safety of the trees. Unfortunately they forgot about the chain connecting them and it caught around Elaine’s ankle as they were about to cross a very large ditch. She tripped and went headfirst into it and in the process the wheel and Julie followed. It was about half full of muddy water, and both women spluttered as they spat some of it out of their mouths. They froze as the voices were heard again and then sunk as low as they could into the water which meant that only their heads were not immersed. They held their breath and listened.
"Mummy, I heard a noise from over there, do you think it’s a wild animal?" a child’s voice enquired.
"It could be, Kathleen, after all we are in a forest" the mother answered
"Can we go and look?" a small boy asked. The women sunk even lower into the ditch, that was all they needed, to be discovered by a family out for a walk, they hardly dare breath.
"No you can’t," a voice that belonged to the father replied. "You leave the animals alone." And with that the voices got fainter as the family continued along the track. Both women breathed out in relief but they dared not move for at least another five minutes. Finally they decided the coast was clear and struggled back onto the track complete with their wheel only now they were covered from head to toe in mud which in the sun soon began to dry on their bodies. The rest of the journey whilst slow was uneventful and their hearts soared as they rounded a corner to see the car sat there. They covered the last 100 yards in double quick time . Elaine collapsed exhausted against it as Julie grabbed the key hanging around her neck and unlocked the boot. The handcuff keys were there and in no time at all they were free and heading down the track. When they got to the car park there were no cars left but a figure was sat next to the tree where their clothes were hidden. They recognized it as Mark and drove over. He stood up as they stopped the car.
"You made it then?"
"Yes," Elaine replied as she ran over to get their clothes.
"Fall in a ditch," Mark enquired noting her muddy form.
"More or less," Julie answered him, "I’ll tell you on the way home but where have you been all this time?"
As the two women dressed Mark told them how he had had to walk down the lane and until he met Ian . He had then been driven miles away and made to walk back to the car park . It wasn’t true but the women believed him.
"I’ll ride in the back wear the seats are clean," he laughed getting in.
The women got in the front and as they drove off Julie asked, "Did you get the photos?"
"Apparently, there never were any," Mark informed them trying to sound sad.
"SHIT!" both women cried simultaneously.
