Cont'd from "On Ice"
It had been weeks since Rex's little mistake that almost cost him his life. He was hired by the Mayor to track down and gather evidence against notorious crime boss, Mister X. He received a trip from anonymous tip and went to meet the contact. He fell into an obvious trap and was XXXX.
While tied up, Rex discovered that his XXXX was none other than the mayor himself. Unfortunately he never found out why the mayor himself hired Rex to find evidence on on his alter ego, because he was able to free himself and escape.
Rex was laying low for a couple of weeks and gathered as much info as he could. He wasn't going to be fooled twice. He was going to be more careful this time. So when the time was finally right, he made a phone call. “Yeah dude. You ready to do this?” Rex said over the phone. He continued the conversation for twenty minutes, then hung up the phone.
Rex got changed and got ready. He left his apartment to go settle the score. He drove to the place where he was kept captive. Rex knew this was the best place to start looking for clues. He pulled out his XXXX and went to the back door. Silently, he crept up to the back door. It was, surprisingly, unlocked. So he slowly opened the door and stepped inside.
As he crept through the house he could tell that no one was home. “That's good.” he thought. “Now I can snoop in private.” Rex found a room with a desk and some file cabinets in it. The perfect place to find some hard evidence against the Mayor. Just when he started to go through the papers on the desk, he was hit on the back of the head with a blunt object. Rex fell to the ground with a thud.
When Rex awoke he, once again, was tied up and blindfolded. His hands were tied behind his back, but his feet weren't tied. Before he could even think about running away, he felt a hand cover his mouth while another hand grabbed him from behind. Rex struggled to get away but to no avail. He felt a long piece of cloth slide between his lips and go behind his head, gagging him. He could hear his captor walk away then come back. Rope was being coiled around his ankles and just below the knees. More rope was added around his chest, effectively tying him to the chair.
He could hear the footsteps walk away again. Rex struggled against the ropes trying to get out. This only made the ropes tighter on his chest. The ropes dug into his muscles. What Rex didn't know is that his captor was still in the room, enjoying the view. This was now the second time he caught the allusive wild detective.
As much as he was enjoying the show, it was time to get down to business. He walked over to Rex and lowered his blindfold. Rex's vision slowly came into focus to reveal, not to his surprise, the Mayor.
“Now, now, now. Let's not start this off with such aggression.” the Mayor said snidely. Rex yelled through the gag trying to get the attention of anyone around. The Mayor walked behind Rex and added another gag over the existing gag. Still Rex yelled. “Hmm not quite there on the volume.” the Mayor said as he pulled out a roll of duct tape and wrapped it around Rex's head. The noise coming out of Rex's mouth was barely audible.
“Much better. Now you just sit there while I go make the bedroom ready to keep you restrained.” the Mayor said. Rex tried to kick him but the ropes kept him at bay. The Mayor gave him the finger as we walked to the other room.
Rex began struggling harder and harder against the ropes. The chair had wheels on it, so he began to rock back and forth trying to get to the window. He brushed his head against the blinds trying to see if he could signal anybody, but it was dark out and no one was around in site. He worked on getting the gag out of his mouth and finally succeeded. “I am going to kick your ass when I get out of here.” Rex said. He began rocking back and forth again trying to get to the desk. He had to find something to cut these ropes with.
He finally made his way over to the desk and looked around. The closest to the edge was his wallet with a chain attached. The psycho took his wallet when he was XXXX out. He began to wonder what else the Mayor did to him, as he reached for the wallet. It wasn’t easy, but he was able to move the wallet to the edge and get it into his hands. He tried to rub the chain against the ropes when he accidentally dropped it.
Rex groaned. However that’s when he saw the scissors on the desk. “That's perfect.” he thought. He tried to reach for the scissors. “It's so far away!” he cried and chuckled because of his own predicament. Using his new found freedom from the gag, he used his mouth to move the newspaper and get the scissors closer until he finally got the scissors into his lap. He maneuvered the scissors, with his legs, into a position so that he cut the ropes on his thighs.
Rex had been so busy that he didn't notice the Mayor come up behind him and hand gag him. The Mayor grabbed the scissors from Rex's lap and held it to his next. Rex sat still, worried for his life.
The Mayor slowly removed his hand and walked to the corner of the room.
“Why are you doing this?” Rex asked. “Why did you hire me to find evidence on yourself?”
“Oh where do I begin?” the Mayor started. “Well you, sir, have been putting away too many of my colleagues. So I devised a plan to XXXX you and sell you to the highest bidder. You made an awful lot of enemies. Enemies that want you dead. At least that was the original plan. Then you had to go and escape.”
“So this is all because I got too good at my job?” Rex asked.
“Exactly. Well, apparently, you didn't get good enough. I caught you twice now.” the Mayor gloated.
“But how did you know I would come here?”
“You know that friend you called earlier today? Your friend on the force? I have half the police force on my payroll. Especially the chief of police.” the Mayor said with an evil grin. “Your friend works for me.”
“I don't believe it. He was my best friend!” Rex expressed. “Wait, you mentioned that was the original plan. Whats the plan now?”
“Hmmm, well after seeing you tied up for the second time, I have to admit that I like what I see. So I'm going to keep you. And the bed is ready now, so I'll just wheel you over there and get you all situated the way I want you.”
SLAM!!! The front door busted open and four SWAT members came rushing through. “DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!” They pointed their assault rifles at the Mayor and he did as he was told. He was quickly handcuffed while Rex was being untied by a member of the SWAT team.
“This was a sting operation?” The Mayor asked angrily.
“I knew you couldn't resist gloating. So I let myself be captured. I was the bait. By the way, my friend doesn't work for you. He's been working undercover to take you down.” Rex explained. “And now that you've confessed your misdeeds, I finally have enough to take you down.”
“Good luck getting it stick. I'm not talking.”
“I don't need you to talk anymore. I got it all on tape.” “How? I searched you thoroughly.” the Mayor asked.
Rex stood up, newly freed from his bondage, and reached into his pants and pulled out a microphone. “Not thoroughly enough apparently. Had it in my crotch the whole time. That's how the Swat team knew when to rush in. Now get him out of here.” The Swat members dragged the Mayor away. “Well that's case closed. Now that the Mayor is
going to be incarcerated, I can look through all these files and find all the crooked police officers and take them out as well. Onto the next case.”
Case Closed.
