THE UNUSUAL MASTER

BY DARK FURY

[ part 1 ]

James was waiting for his chance to strike all day. He had targeted two little seven year olds from Princemont Private Elementary, Amy and Sarah. They both walked to Amy's house after school, where they were unguarded and home alone. He had been planning this moment for a long time, due to his cautious outlook on the potential punishments for his crimes.

It was 2:25 and Amy's parents would be home at 5:00. He had all the time in the world. He saw them both enter through the front door, so he had 5 minutes to get in gear. He slapped on a pair of gloves and had his large duffel bag ready to go. A hand tazer was in his back pocket for the professional edge. He also had chloraform and ropes in the bag, along with some good old fashioned duct tape. He was all ready for action.

Rather than trying to break in, he took the least suspicious approach: ring the doorbell. Amy answered the door, and James asked if he could come in. He quickly made up some story about how he was a financial consultant for her father, and how he was going to come home early today to discuss an important tax issue. Amy took the bait and let him inside.

As soon as he entered he shut the door behind him and struck Amy in the back with the tazer. This didn't knock her out but it did stun her. Wasting no time, he reached for the chloraform and a rag in his pocket, putting her to sleep for the time being. She wouldn't wake up for quite some time.

With Amy out of the way, he turned his attention to Sarah. She was upstairs, out of earshot. He quietly crept upstiars to get his second victim. He didn't need to bother with the tazer, now that the chloraform was all ready to go. Upon entering the room, James got a puzzeled reaction from Sarah. "Who are you?" she asked. The kidnapper advanced torward her and shoved the rag in her face. She had no time to react, letting out a muffled cry for help. No one would hear her scream. In a few seconds she was out as well.

He carried Sarah on his shoulders all the way downstairs, setting her down on the floor next to Amy. He took the time to look at their sleeping forms. Amy had blonde hair that went down to her shoulders. She had a slightly lighter complexion than Sarah, and she was about an inch shorter too. Sarah Had brown hair tied in a ponytail, though her hair was perhaps a half inch longer than Amy's. They both had their school uniforms on, which only further aroused James. They wore blue skirts, long socks and white collared shirts, tied off at the collar with blue ribbons.

He would have time to look at them later, but right now he had work to do. He tied Amy's hands behind her back and her ankles together. After finishing the job with a little duct tape on the mouth, he started working on Sarah. He tied her hands in front of her, and taped her mouth shut. A blindfold was put over her eyes as well. He would have a different job for her.

They both fit in the duffel bag that he brought with him. He smuggled them out of the house just like that, without arousing any suspicion. His next act would be to drive them far away.

He put them in the back of the van and unzipped the duffel bag. He reached for a syringe in his toolbox, which was in the back of the van at all times. A powerful sedative in the little needle would keep them asleep for the rest of the 4 hour drive. He was all clear to do whatever he wanted.

He started the long trip to their new home in the hills.
