Alda McEwen and Mina Salome two nurses in distress PART 2

Description:

After revealing her role in the robbery, Mina keeps Alda under control until the masked man returns. Together, they decide to replace the painfully tight plastic zip ties with rope. After all, they may be criminals, but they aren't completely heartless.

Soon, Alda finds herself securely bound with rope from wrists to ankles. Her new restraints are far more comfortable than the zip ties, but no less effective. This time, her mouth is sealed with strips of silver duct tape, ensuring she won't be calling for help anytime soon.

With Alda helplessly watching, Mina and the masked thief begin congratulating each other. They laugh about how smoothly the operation has gone and how easy it was to steal the valuable medication without attracting suspicion.

But the celebration doesn't last long.

Without warning, the masked man suddenly turns on Mina.

Before she can react, he grabs her, wrestles her to the floor, and quickly binds her with rope as well. Mina protests furiously, demanding to know what he's doing.

Moments later, Mina finds herself in the same predicament as Alda. Her wrists and ankles are tightly secured, and a layer of silver duct tape covers her mouth. The thief gives his two captives one final smirk before collecting the stolen goods and disappearing into the night.

Now both women lie side by side on the office floor, bound and gagged.

At first, neither is eager to cooperate. Alda is furious at Mina's betrayal, while Mina is embarrassed and angry that she has been double-crossed by her own partner. They exchange hostile glances and muffled complaints through their gags.

Eventually, however, survival takes priority over pride.

The two women begin working together, wriggling and maneuvering in an attempt to loosen each other's ropes. Unfortunately, the thief knew exactly what he was doing. Every knot is tight, secure, and completely out of reach.

Neither of them is going anywhere.

Exhausted and frustrated, they settle back against the wall, still tightly bound and thoroughly gagged, knowing that their only realistic hope is that someone from the morning shift will discover them

Until then, they can do little more than wait.
