"Zack it is. And for them... nothing useful comes to mind," Erica admits rather sourly. She heads towards the other room, tape in tow. There is not another convenient dish towel visible, so she grabs a washcloth from the bathroom instead.
She continues with frustration, "Of course we have no idea what they can do. But I don't have ideas on fixing that that don't involve a lot of pain-" she ignores the panicked gagged-spluttering from behind them from the man she left tied up in the main room, "and that would move us firmly from people deeply confused by their stalkers to actively bad guys." She glares at the unconscious body in Suzy's room. "I don't know who the hell they are, but I want them to go away, and torturing them isn't likely to get them to ignore us."
She starts in on taping up the unconscious guy. Better sooner than later. "So... long story short? Not a clue. We could leave them here with a note that says We Mean No Harm? Possibly blindfold them and drive them somewhere else, first, I don't necessarily want to leave them in your place, though on the other hand it might be a lost cause already. Or you could hand them to the police and we can hope that at least slows them down." That 'you' there? Erica will not be talking to any policemen. Zip, zero, not a one. "Also a factor: I'm crap at this. I do not tie people up for a living, and neither do you unless you have a way creepy hobby you failed to mention; we have limited time here before they could plausibly get out by themselves."
