A Detective In Dismay - Part Two - Nicole Vaunt

The story continues a few days later. Private detective Nicole Vaunt is in her office when she gets an unexpected delivery. She immediately recognizes the delivery person as "Paul" -- the same villain who invaded her apartment several nights before! She cautiously opens the box and pulls out a straitjacket. Her helpful visitor assists the dazzling detective into the canvas coat, and he bends her over her desk to pull the straps tight. He then utilizes black leather straps to insure Nicole's shoes stay on her feet, and he employs additional straps to bind her ankles and knees. Ms. Vaunt remains defiant, but her indignant responses to the villain are concluded when he buckles a padded bit gag into her mouth. Paul tells the trussed-up detective not to cause any trouble while he waits for an opportune moment to get her down into his waiting car. Naturally as soon as he's out of sight, our plucky damsel tries her best to find a way to phone for help, or get into her purse to see if there's anything in it that could aid in her escape attempt.  Her courageous efforts all go unrewarded, and the sexy shamus is still powerless when the bad guy returns. He can't help but notice Nicole's unsuccessful bid for freedom, so he pulls the exquisite brunette up onto her desk and uses a pair of leg irons to hogtie her. The intrepid private eye continues her losing struggle to liberate herself, yet she's still strapped up when Paul comes to collect her and hop Nicole into the final chapter of this knotty adventure.
