The garden was in full bloom, dawn was breaking and the cover of darkness would soon be gone. Shirley was hiding under a row of bushes, she just fit underneath the row. Courtney was looking frantically for Shirley, the garden wasn't very big but still it was hard to see. She had searched in every corner, and in every flowerbed. She decided to check the back yard. Shirley watched as Courtney ran into the backyard, her arms were starting to hurt from lying in one position. So she rolled out from underneath the bushes and hopped as fast as she could in the opposite direction. At about the same time Courtney was rounding the way and bumped right into Shirley. Both women fell and hit the ground hard, Shirley rolled around a bit moaning into her gag, as Courtney stood up and grabbed a hold of her. She lifted Shirley over her shoulder, she was sobering up a bit so it wasn't has hard as before. She carried the red haired beauty back into the house.

Courtney carried Shirley back down into the basement. She laid Shirley down on the floor and headed to the supply bin. She opened it up and looked through it, since she was now not as drunk she could make Shirley more secure. She picked out a shiny pair of metal cuffs. That would do just fine. She unhooked the metal bar, and let Shirley stretch her arms out a bit before pulling them back behind her back. She helped Shirley hop over to the black couch at the far end of the basement. Shirley now lay on her stomach as Courtney headed back to the bin to retrieve a second pair of cuffs. She unknotted the rope around Shirley's ankles and attached the cuffs around her ankles. Now, with a third pair Courtney pulled Shirley's legs up into the air, and connected the cuffs around her ankles to the ones on her wrists.

Courtney looked her captive over. Shirley wiggled in her metal hogtie; Courtney went for her feet. Shirley's feet arched and her toes wiggled as Courtney gave each foot a quick scratch across the sole. Courtney decided she had to keep Shirley's feet still for a more thorough job, so she picked up a pair of sneakers and took off the laces. She tied off Shirley's big toes and started the torture up again. For a good half hour Shirley's feet were tickled. She was laughing, and screaming into her gag, but no one except Courtney could hear her. After a half hour of non-stop tickling Shirley was getting pretty tired. She tried to get her feet to separate, but the shoelaces were holding her feet together pretty good. Courtney was pretty much finished, when she heard the doorbell.

She ran upstairs, closing the door behind her. A tall man was at the door. He was wearing jean shorts, and a white T-shirt. Dark sunglasses hid his face.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Courtney asked.
"Hello there, my name is Robert, and I want to make an offer," He said in a serious cold voice.
"What kind of offer would that be?" Courtney asked suspiciously.
"Well, I just bought a home around here, and I was walking late last night enjoying the night air, when I see a limo drive down the road. Now I saw everything and I could go to the police if you would refuse my offer?"
"What offer?!"
"I'm offering you 10 million for Shirley, no more, no less."
Courtney bit her lip, she didn't hate Shirley that much, but she couldn't let the police find out.
"You got a deal."
"Great, I'll be back tomorrow with the money, I expect her to be ready to go."
"Of course, thank you very much, Robert."
"Please, call me Rob, and no, thank YOU, Miss Love."
And with that he left the house. Courtney went back down to the basement to inform Shirley.

"Well Shirley, it has been real fun knowing you."
"MPPPPPGHH!!!"
"No, I'm not going to kill you, even better, I'm going to sell you to a man for 10 million!!" Shirley started crying and shaking her head no, all Shirley could do was lay down and struggle in vain.
The next day came fast, and Courtney was going to be busy getting Shirley ready, and spending money. She had picked out a nice red dress for Shirley to wear today, she brought Shirley upstairs to the bathroom and snapped the cuffs off of her legs; she helped Shirley get the dress on.
"You look great Shirl," Courtney said.
"Mppghhhhh."
"Oh right, I think it's time for a new gag."
