XXXX and Tying by JMZ

The plan was in motion. I needed to focus and not make stupid mistakes. I had planned this for months. I had worked for Mark for several years. We were good friends at one point, and worked side by side for years. We worked the trenches together and always had respect for one another. Then after all our hard work our opportunity came, we going to be promoted.
We were so excited. The powers that be decided to split the managerial position into two jobs to alleviate some of the stress. Our former boss decided to quit and spend time with his family. I had waited for this opportunity for three years. Then the unspeakable happened, management informed they had changed their minds and decided due to costs it was not economically sound to pay two salaries for one position. They decided to go with Mark for the position. I was beside myself with anger. I had lead most of the projects we had collaborated on, and it seemed that I should be the obvious choice. However after a couple of weeks of stewing I accepted the decision and stared my new project with Mark as my manager.
Throughout the office rumors began flying about Mark’s dictator style of managing. I was one of the few that defended him. I knew he was nervous about the added responsibility and knew he was drowning. Then after one of our weekly meetings Sandra approached me with some gossip. She began to tell me that the reason I was not picked for manager was that Mark had gone to management and trash talked me. He told them he was responsible for all the work we had produced and I was simply his assistant. I was furious. I could not believe he did this to me. After confronting him my worst fear was confirmed. He admitted everything and told me he panicked when he heard managements decision and didn’t mean what he said. He promised to get me into a managerial position as soon as he found one.
Three months passed and nothing, He never made good on his promise. Instead he proceeded to chastise me for every mistake I made. I was furious. I decided I was not going to take this anymore. If he was making the big bucks for my ideas and work I decided I deserved at least a cut.
I hatched my plan out of anger, but I was so stubborn I could not let it go. One day after I asked Mark to meet for happy hour for old time’s sake, he agreed. We met at one of old spots where he proceeded to get XXXX. After several shot and a few too many, I walked him to his car. As we approached his car he XXXX in my arms. I knew he could never hold his liquor. I dragged him to my car and through him in the back seat. I quickly bound his hands behind his back and blindfolded him.
I drove fast to where to my parent’s lake house. We approached the driveway and he began to come to. I dragged him out of the car and into the house. He began to struggle and yell and he realized what was happening. I through him onto a chair and tied his feet and upper body to a chair. He screamed at me to stop, he was still XXXX and panicked. I pulled the blindfold off and he stared at me glassy eyed and lit.
I decided before he had a chance to scream again to keep him quite. I wrapped duct tape around his mouth and secured it with cloth. He grunted and mmmppphhhed through his gag. He struggled and rocked in his binds. I watched with XXXX glee as he tried to break free. Inaudible screams escaped his gagged mouth. I sent out the ransom letter in the mail and waited. In my XXXX stupor I never realized that several people have seen me bind my boss in my car. I didn’t wait long before the police stormed in and arrested me. So I sit here in my jail cell now telling my story. The moral being never drink and tie.
