Abigail in Trouble Ch. 15: Misdirected Package Part 1: Packing
(This chapter follows directly from Chapter 14: Cum, But Not Intruder Window, which should be read beforehand)
*********
Abigail was upset.
Emma was furious.
Cliff was confused. But when Emma finally caught up with him, he would be dead, and knowing her wrath, this might not actually be a metaphor.
Emma had returned late morning to her home to see how Abigail's evening had gone with Cliff. She was shocked to find her passed out with exhaustion, still tied to Emma's bed with the blindfold and gag still in place. A large wet patch under her crotch, ruining her covers, was testimony to certain sexual activity, but Emma was horrified to see that Cliff had just left her there, and not released her.
"Abigail! Are you alright?" She had yelled on her discovery. "That's it. He's dead!" she summarised quickly, jumping onto the bed to attend to her cousin.
After taking out the sticky gag and removing the blindfold soaked in tears, Abigail started stirring from her deep, dream-haunted sleep. Emma seethed as she released her little cousin, realising how reckless Cliff had seemed to leave Abigail tied up all night especially with the gag still in.
Emma rubbed Abigail's wrists and ankles as they looked sore from tugging at the leather straps that Emma herself had tightened the evening before. She soothed the younger girl, trying to tease out how she was feeling. Instead of any coherent explanation, all she got was a murmured repeating mantra from the clearly exhausted Abigail: "Dot, dot, dot. Dash, dash, dash. Dot, dot, dot."
Emma knew immediately what that meant and it made her blood boil. "Oh, he's SOOOO DEAD!!" she screamed at herself, for allowing her trust in him to be betrayed like this. "What's a fucking safe word for?!"
Abigail herself still seemed too much out of it to be angry, perhaps showing disappointment, but Emma needed to revive her to get her side of the story. Emma ran a hot bath and while it was running, stripped Abigail and removed the butt plug from her rear and the vibrator from Abigail's drenched pussy. Emma noticed that the batteries were flat, and concluded that it had been left inside her while still on. "I'm gonna KILL HIM!!" She ranted.
Now she had helped get Abigail into the bath and ensured she was comfortable and relaxed, even though she was sobbing quietly, Emma could not hold back any longer and grabbed her phone to read her death sentence to Cliff. She ignored all the text messages and missed calls from him. She didn't want to hear his lame excuses or apologies. The damage was done and his reputation, job prospects and if she could pull a few favours, his face, would be in ruins by the end of the day. He was going to feel the FULL meaning of the phrase that starts "Hell hath no fury..."
"How could he leave her like that all night?" Emma almost sobbed, knowing that she herself was implicit and partly culpable for setting it up. She pulled herself together before calling Cliff. She didn't notice the time of all the missed calls and texts from Cliff: they were all from last night, while Emma had her phone on silent because she was "otherwise engaged" with her boyfriend.
As soon as Cliff answered, Emma jumped down his throat. "You're finished with Abby! No more meetings, and I'm gonna make sure you regret what you did last night forever. You'll need to either leave town or forever watch you back from now on! You're so dead!"
Emma could hear a plaintive "What? But...but...but..." from the other end, but she ignored it. She didn't want his petty excuses, and continued her tirade.
"How COULD you, Clifford? To leave her like that! I thought you were one of the nice guys! Well, how wrong I was?" You've betrayed my trust and you've certainly betrayed Abby's! She's exhausted and VERY upset with you! You're through! Understand? That's it!"
Cliff tried to defend himself. "But Emma, I couldn't get in!" he tried to interject, but she was too fired up to hear him.
"What's a fucking safe-word for, you asshole!" She shouted at him, rhetorically. "Don't tell me you didn't hear it! You've blown it big time, mister!"
Emma paused for breath to compose her last broadside before intending to hang up on him. This finally gave Cliff a chance to get a word of reply in. "Emma, LISTEN! The house was locked! There was no key! I couldn't get in. I up-ended every single plant pot. No key. I rang the bell, I knocked, I texted you, I rang you, I tried all the doors, I COULDN'T GET IN! I DIDN'T SEE ABBY LAST NIGHT!"
There was a long pause while Emma finally actually registered some of his words and her brain scrambled to work out if he was lying or not. "Emma? You still there? Did you hear me? I couldn't find the key!"
After another long pause, she said simply "Hold on" and hung up. Emma immediately checked her phone for messages and texts and indeed there were quite a few from last night, all starting about half an hour after she had arrived at her boyfriend's and texted Cliff the go-ahead. At the time of her text to him, she had received an acknowledgement then put her phone on silent and forgotten about it to attend to her boyfriend.
Her stomach lurched as if she's been slugged in the guts. "No, surely not" she said to herself, and dashed down stairs and into the porch. The plants certainly looked like they had all been moved, but where was the key? Inside the front door was a small rack of hooks where the family typically hung their keys. And there it was! So Cliff was lying! He'd got in, had his fun and abandoned Abigail, leaving her still tied up.
Just as she turned to go back upstairs to resume her verbal attack on Cliff, her father called across from the nearby kitchen where he and her mother were having coffee. "Oh, Emma?" he called. When we got back last night we had to come in through the locked back door because you or Abby had left the key half turned in the front door. We were fine, but we don't always take a backdoor key, so try not to do it again, eh?"
"Er, OK, I won't" said Emma weakly, and turned to climb the stairs.
She tried to piece together what had happened. Cliff couldn't have left the door locked with the key half turned on the inside because the lock would have been in the wrong position to pull it shut behind him. Maybe he got in and left the key in the front door, but went out through the back door. No, that wasn't possible because you needed a key to lock and unlock it from either side, and her Dad had said they'd had to unlock it in the morning.
If Cliff was telling the truth and he couldn't find the key or get in, then how did the key get from under the plant pot into the inside of the door, and how come the vibrator was in Abigail. Hadn't she left the egg there instead? She thought that's what she remembered. She needed to talk to Abby. Abigail was still in the bath, but looked like she was sleeping peacefully at last, so Emma left her.
Suddenly Emma reeled and slapped her own head. "Stupid bimbo!" she scolded herself. "The cameras! I'd forgotten I was filming it all last night!" she rushed back to her room, and grabbed her laptop. While it was booting up, she extracted the memory card from the two little cams she had hidden in the corners of her room.
As she copied the files across and activated the playback, she nodded in satisfaction. "Unluckily for you Cliffy boy, I was filming. I'm soon gonna have proof you were there!" As the video from the first cam, positioned to the side started playing, she scrolled forward during the preparation and binding of Abigail until the point when she saw herself leaving the room.
She watched on fast-forward as her cousin squirmed helplessly under the ministrations of the egg vibrator, looking out for Cliff entering the room. This came a bit quicker than she had anticipated.
But when the shape of a man came into the picture and she paused the video, she froze in shock, staring at the screen. Her blood went cold.
"That's. Not. Cliff!" She turned this fact over and over in her mind, but could not erase the evidence on the screen. It was definitely not Cliff. It was a man with a slighter build than Abigail's beau, dressed from neck to toe in black and wearing gloves. "Who the fuck is that?" She said to herself, scrolling on to see what this unknown man had done to Abigail.
It didn't take Emma long to find out, and she sat staring at the final shot after he had left the room, numb with shock. After quite a while she shook herself to clear her head. "Oh my god!" she thought. "Someone's found the key and entered instead of Cliff, and fucked poor Abby. And she thinks it was Cliff! Oh shit! What am I going to tell her?" Emma's brain quickly got over the shock of the realisation and started trying to work out what she should tell Abigail.
On one hand, Abigail still thought it was Cliff who had come to her and fucked her. Emma could play along with that and not tell her the truth to minimise her trauma. But this would mean that she would also think that Cliff had betrayed her trust and left her in the lurch. Abigail was becoming besotted with him and Emma didn't want to break them apart over lies. Also, when/if they finally met up again, she would find out the truth from Cliff.
On the other hand, she couldn't really say to her "Oh, Abby. You know I tied you up last night for Cliff? Well, it was somebody else who came in and fucked you, not Cliff!" could she? She also didn't particularly want Abigail to know how she had found out by secretly filming the whole thing. Mind you, Abigail had been subjected to much worse ordeals earlier in the summer, so this one was probably quite tame in comparison, but still...
