Will they survive?

They ripped off Jake's shirt and pulled his arms behind his back.  Binding first his wrists, they moved up to his elbows, yanked his arms together, tied them,  Finally they circled ropes around his upper arms until they were secured.  Making a ball with the rope they shoved it between his teeth and tied it behind his head.  They they worked a lighter and melted the knots.

When they had Jake bound, they tied up Mike in the same way.  Putting them back-to-back, they tied their biceps together.

They were already soaking wet with sweat from being bound.  Now unable to speak or free themselves, they watched the truck drive away.

The sun was scorching their bare chests.

They knew they had to find help.

Mike started walking forward, Jesse bound arm and arm to him, walked backwards.

They had to find help fast.

It was almost noon --- they did not have much time!
