Fatima – The Puppeteer

Fatima is a special police officer assigned to a department that deals with extremely dangerous criminals. One evening, while at the office, she receives an anonymous message on her phone. Inside, a terrifying video: either a colleague being held captive, or a bomb hidden in a school, ready to explode. The man behind the message imposes a blackmail on her: she must follow his instructions to the letter, or else there will be lethal consequences. Distraught, Fatima has no choice. She abandons everything and goes alone to the designated location: an old cabin in the woods. She is dressed elegantly but professionally: a tight-fitting blouse or t-shirt, skirt, and heels. Inside the hut, she finds a small table with some objects: handcuffs, zip ties, a scarf, duct tape, a note. The note reads: “The hut is under video surveillance. If you don’t do everything within two minutes, your colleague will . Zip your ankles. Cover your mouth with duct tape. Blindfold yourself with the scarf. Finally, handcuff your hands behind the pole.” Seized by anguish, Fatima obeys, trembling. She sits or kneels near the pole, zips her own ankles, gags herself with duct tape (OTM gag), blindfolds herself with the scarf, and finally handcuffs her hands behind the pole. She remains like that for a few minutes, motionless, silent, while the camera watches her. Then, the criminal (or criminals) enters the hut. He doesn’t show his face. He approaches her, checks that she’s done everything, and without speaking, unfastens the handcuffs from the pole, only to put them behind her back. He makes her stand up and takes her away. Part Two – The Test New setting: an isolated house. Fatima is now tied to a chair, with ropes tied around her ankles, her wrists behind the backrest, and her chest. She’s gagged with several strips of tape gag. The atmosphere is very tense. The criminal enjoys giving her a chance: “You have a few minutes to free yourself. If you can do it, you’re free. If not… we’ll move on to the next level.” The criminal places a pair of scissors on a shelf as if to tempt her to try to cut the ropes. Fatima struggles, tries to untie herself, searches for a way to escape, but can’t. She tries to reach the scissors, but the way she’s tied prevents her from raising her hands high enough to reach them. She realizes the criminal has tricked her. She feels like a puppet in his hands. Time passes. The criminal returns and says he’s disappointed she couldn’t escape. Perhaps he doesn’t care about his colleague, who will suffer the consequences of his failure. Fatima, desperate, asks him to give her another chance. The criminal pretends to comply. The timer runs out. Scene change. Fatima is now lying on a table, tied in a tight hogtie (hands and feet tied and pulled together). She is in her underwear (bra and panties), and gagged with tape, very tightly. Her hair is tied to her feet. The pain is intense. Fatima is tied so tightly that every movement causes her pain. There’s no chance for her to escape, nor did the bastard ever intend to give her one. He just wanted to have fun… For long minutes, Fatima struggles. The maniac returns and circles her. “I’ve had enough fun. Now it’s over.”
