Jake's gagged screams


The Benson brothers were bound, hand and foot, with rope... a knotted bandanna between their teeth gagged them.


They lay,  on their backs, in the back of a pickup driving through the dirt.
They hot sun baked down on them, making them sweat profusely. 
The rope cut into their wrists like a hacksaw.

The looked at each other.
They were scared.
They were being kidnapped.




They grabbed each on of the boys, put him over one of the kidnapper's shoulders, and dumped him
onto the old wooden floor.

We lay their on on bellies, with our shoulders touching.
I was on the left, Jake was in the middle, and Josh on the right.

They lashed rope just above our elbows, and yanked our forearms together, tying off our elbows and forearms tightly with a coarse rope.

They moved a long wooden pole under our upper arms, across our backs, and each of our biceps were bound to it.
















Removing our boots, and with our ankles still
bounded, the roped our large toes together.

With our legs now bent, and somebody sitting
on our shins, the tied a rope from our toes to
the pole between our bound biceps.

Pulling our heads back by pulling our hair, with our chin on the floor they tied a rope around our necks several times and tied it to the pole.











Now helpless and bound up like animals, they explained the ransom they were demanding, and how they would need proof that we kidnapped.




Jake's brothers closed their eyes ad
his gagged screams filled the old house.
