Kindapped

They made the Benson brothers put their arms behind their backs. He crossed their wrists and tightly bound them.  He used bandannas to blindfold the men and had them kneel.

The one with the guy stood guard, while the other ransacked the house.

"Got some stuff but not what we thought. But there is a nice SUV in the garage.  Let's take them and hold them for ransom!"

A chill went down the brother's spines.  Young Brian whispered:  WE"RE GOING TO BE KIDNAPPED!

"That's right boys, you're being kidnapped.  Use the drug!"

With their hands tied behind there backs and blindfolded there was not much they could do. Syringe was pushed into their shoulders, and they slumped to the floor.

=======================================================================

They came to.   They were outdoors, strung up by their wrists.  Their upper arms and necks were lashed to the poles.  They were on their knees.  Their legs had been pulled behind the pole and their ankles, crossed and tied and been pulled up and tied to the pole.

Billy was choking, not only from the tight rope around his neck, but the bandanna had been shoved deep down his throat and keep in place with rope between his teeth.  The roping of his biceps cut off the blood to his upper arms, which were purple, the hairs on his forearms matted with sweat.

Brian was squirming.  The hot sun was beating down on him, burning his chest and guts.  It was torture, he thought he was on fire.  He was gasping and screaming muffled gagged sounds.  He fought so hard to escape that his wrists and biceps began to drip blood.

They decided to make a photo-video with the ransom demands, and they would make an example of Seth, the oldest brother.  They made a tourniquet around his neck and upper arms and wrists and videoed as they turn it, blood squirting from his wrists and arms, his eyes popping out of his head, gasping for breath.  When the stopped and released it, he fell was unconscious, his sweat covered chest glistening  in the scorching sun.

Night came, the bugs came out and feasted on their bodies.

The next day they heard that the ransom had been paid.  They were cut down, and collapsed in the dirt, their arms quaking, their throats parched, their legs cramped, arms and wrists deeply slashed by the rope.

They threw Seth the keys to the SUV.

As their kidnappers mounted bikes and drove off the brothers crawled like half dead animals to their car and drove off looking at the GPS for the nearest hospital.
