As the man tied her up with rope, Dakkota was sure her step sons would come down to see what was happening and then run off to call for help. But no one came and a short time later, Dakkota found herself struggling all tied up. All of a sudden, her step sons came in and saw her. "Go call for help!" she told them. But they did nothing but watch her struggle to get loose. When they finally ran off, Dakkota figured that they were going to get help. Then the man who tied her up returned. "My step sons are going to call the cops!" she told the man. But he didn't seem to be too concerned. Before Dakkota could say anything else, the man stuffed her mouth and then wrapped tape around her face and over her mouth to gag her. Dakkota grunted and whimpered through the gag as she was left alone again. Then she heard her step sons walk in and she was sure they brought help. But again, they were alone and all they did was stand there and watch their step mom struggle bound and gagged for awhile. After they ran off again, the man returned and this time, he had more rope. He put Dakkota on her stomach and hogtied her. Then when left her again, Dakkota heard him talking to her step sons. But instead of any kind of confrontation, she heard the man demand payment for tying their step mother up . It was then that Dakkota realized that the man was hired to tie her up and gag her for their enjoyment.
