Chapter 6. Tickle torture
In the car, Joe was chloroformed and gagged. The girls made quick work of getting Joe into the disguised basement. The girls had placed a bed in the bender basement They then handcuffed Joe's hands to the headboard and tied his feet to the foot of the bed, so that he was spread eagle. They then woke Joe up using smelling salts. After Joe was awake, the girls then took out the gag.
"Where am I" Joe asked "and why did you kidnap me"
"your in a secret location and we need you to be a double agent."
"No! why would I do that?" Joe asked.
"If you don't there will be consequences" Ethel explained
"Nope" Joe said.
Gertrude shook her head" you asked for this, Joseph." Nancy suddenly started tickling Joe's feet. As much as Joe struggled, he couldn't escape Nancy's tickling.
"So, will you work with us or do you need more tickle torture" Laura asked
"go ahead" Joe laughed, "I'm not joining you." Andrea then tickled Joe's sides and armpits till he was crying.
"Fine, I'll be your double agent. If Hannah makes me some good, non-prank cookies. And you stop tickling me." Joe gasped. Hannah went upstairs and the girls uncuffed Joe.
Upstairs, joe was surprised,"we're at Vanessa's house, really?"
"Yep" Andrea said. " and it's my house too, ya'know."
"Wow" was all Joe could say. The girls and Joe then trooped into the kitchen, were Joe ate 11 cookies and discussed the details of his job with Nancy.
"Ok so I've gotta do what?" Joe asked.
"You have to help us by telling us how to prepare, when you'll be leaving, giving ideas, stuff like that." Nancy explained.
"Ok so I have to provide you with pranks, give you heads up on our pranks and tell you when we're prank-able." Joe summed up.
"Yes. You are now aloud to leave and Joe," Hannah said."you may take the cookies with you." Joe smiled, picked up the box of cookies and left.
All the guys were awake and struggling to free themselves. Fenton,Sam,con,Ezra and Frank had found their lock picks just out of reach. Jack had found he had forgotten to bring his. Carson didn't have any but he was the first one free, thanks to the bobby pin he had lifted from Nancy well she was handcuffing him. After freeing himself, Carson went and helped jack.
"How did you get free?" Jack asked.
"bobby pin I lifted off of Nancy" Carson replied, "I've been hanging around the Hardy men and Nancy too long, I know" Jack just laughed. The two men then went and freed the cops. Carson, jack and con freed Frank, Sam and Fenton. They we here about to free Joe when Carson and Frank said
"he's not in there, the girls kidnaped him" Frank and Carson looked at each other before Carson continued," I woke up and Nancy was handcuffing me to the bed. She said that she was kidnapping Joe and that he would be laughing his head off, something about a weakness other then Frank. I also lifted a bobby pin off her. That's how I got out"
"Tickle torture" Frank said.
"What's that" jack asked.
"You tie someone up and tickle them" Sam explained.
"How do you know what tickle torture is" Ezra questioned.
"Do you remember that time when me,Fenton and the boys were late for a meeting, and we showed up laughing our head off" Sam said,
"yeah"Ezra responded.
"Well you see, Frank and Joe decided to prank us and handcuffed us to our chairs in Fenton's study. They also tied our feet to the chairs. They then tickled us till we were crying and they kept tickling after they freed us. Fenton and I then turned the tables and tickled them all the way to the police satiation. By the time we got inside, the boys were tickling each other, as were we" Sam explained.
"I remember that" Fenton said.
"Me too" Frank chimed in.
"I now understand why you came in laughing and crying" con said, amused.
"What is it with this family and pranks" Ezra said.
"We're hardy's, we solve mysteries and prank the living daylights out of everyone we can" Joe said, coming in he door with the large box of cookies.
"Hi Joe, what the girls want?" Frank asked.
"Not much, I just have to help them and give them prank ideas. Pretty good offer if you ask me. And I got free cookies, free Hannah cookies" Joe emphasized,lifting the box. "Plus I got tickle tortured, which is always fun"
"told ya" Sam smirked.
"So what happened well I was gone?" Joe questioned.
" We were just telling them about the time you and Frank tickle tortured me and Sam" Fenton answered.
"Didn't that end in us all tickling each other"Joe asked.
"Yes it did" Frank smiled. Frank then looked at Sam,Fenton and Joe smiling. The four then tackled the other 4 guys. After pinning down their victims, the hardys and Sam tickled con, jack,Ezra and Carson. Carson then surprised Frank by rolling over and pinning him to the floor, allowing Carson to turn the tables. Joe was distracted by Frank's shrieking and looked over at him. Jack took this distraction and used it to his advantage.
When Joe looked at Frank jack tickled him back. Con and Ezra then did the same to Fenton and sam. Finally the guys took mercy on each other and stopped, but only after everyone was crying with laughter.
