Bound Together

Sophie ran down the street, getting interesting looks from the people she passed. It’s not everyday you see a young woman wearing the bottom half of a school uniform and an apron. Her bare back indicating she wasn’t wearing a shirt or bra.

Quickly making her way into the hardware store Sophie started urgently searching for something to break or unlock Renee’s cuffs. When she noticed a lock pick set. Grabbing it she then circled the store and unfortunately didn’t find anything that was practical to cover her nude friend.

Going up to the cashier who had to raise an eyebrow at the weirdly dressed girl, rushing up with lock picks. “Um, I’m going to have to ask. Why are you buying these, dressed like that?”

“Ah um, hehe me and my boyfriend were… y’know. Not knowing we were using real cuffs and I couldn't find the key. So yeaaahhhh” Sophie lied her ass off.

“No time to put a shirt on?” The man asked.

“He’s not in the most comfortable position so I was in a bit of a rush. Speaking of, ring me up please?” Sophie asked.

“Wha- you know what I don’t want to know anymore. Kids these days, honestly” the man shook his head before swiping the pick set.

…

“3…2…1…” Tim counted down as he watched the footage intently. His friend beside him wondered what the countdown was for.

…

*Swoosh*

“That’ll be twelve…” the man said before pausing, eyes becoming large saucers at something behind Sophie.

Looking back she spotted a shocked redhead with a painted on cosplay. “Renee?! What are you doing here?” Sophie questioned.

“I uh ah!” Renee sputtered looking around in shock, seeing multiple people (mostly men) were now staring at her. She screamed in terror before instantly crouching into herself. Trying to at least hide her chest with her knees.

Though it gave guys behind her a nice view of her booty in her fake shorts. Sophie seeing this, thinking quickly, she slapped a twenty on the counter and said quickly “keepthechange!” Before bending over, lifting Renee back up, while covering her chest as best she could. Picks in hand, she dragged the embarrassed ginger into the store's bathroom.

…

Pleasantly surprised, Jacob asked “what’d you do?”

“You know in a co-op game when one player runs way ahead or arrives at a checkpoint and the other player teleports to him? It’s like that, if one of them gets too far from the other, whichever one is closer to more people teleports the other to them. After a bit of time at least. So if Renee’s new friend wants to go off and get something for her as she stays in a safe spot, sorry Renee’s along for the ride” Tim explained while watching Sophie pulling up a how to video for picking handcuffs.

“Does that mean that girl is also going to follow Renee for the rest of the day?” Jacob wondered.

“Yep, she’s been a fun variable so far anyway, so why not?”
