KT: Haunted house

[Bound cat]

The piece of cloth that Ivory pulled out of Alex's mouth was truly huge. Perhaps the ballgag was even superfluous, there was so much stuffing that the captive would hardly be able to spit it out on his own.
- "Phaaaah!!!"- the barely saliva-soaked cloth left his mouth, Alex coughed and took a deep breath of air -"Oh, thank you!!! I don't know who you are, but thank you! I spent many hours in this position and no longer hoped for rescue! You can't even imagine how terrible it is!" (In fact, Alex was not tied up for "long hours", but only for a little over an hour. However, he wasn't lying. He just lost track of time and really believed that many hours had passed)
"Oh no, you're wrong, I can imagine it perfectly," thought Katerina, who also had a lot of similar "adventures". She walked up to Alex (of course, she didn't know his name yet) and began to untie his legs. The knots were strong but quite simple. Obviously, the one, who kidnapped and tied Alex, did not bother too much with complicated knots, knowing full well that the prisoner, deprived of the slightest opportunity to use his hands and teeth, would not be able to untie them. Katerina had to tinker with it a bit, but after a few seconds Alex's legs were free.
Oddly enough, Poppy's keys fit all the locks and after a couple of moments the locks were removed. Alex still wouldn't be able to get out of the straitjacket because it was fastened at the back with numerous straps and buckles. But now anyone could easily free him.
- "Please! Unbutton, unbutton it as soon as possible" - the guy hurried the Poppy - "I don't want to stay in this damn jacket for one extra second!"
