72 hours!!!!

They kidnapped Mike!

Young Mike tried to fight them off, but when they managed to bind his wrists behind his back, they put the teen in a choke hold and made his gut into a punching bag.  Mike collapsed.  They pushed up the sleeve of his shirt and injected the youth with Propofol.  They boy was soon under.

The youth awoke lashed to a chair.

His neck had been roped to the top rung...
His chest to the second.
His crossed wrists, behind the chair were tied to the third.
And his gut was bound the the last.

His ankles had been pulled back and each was tied to the rear legs.
His thighs were bound to the seat and the front legs.

His biceps was lashed to each side of the chair, with ropes around his upper arms and tightened between his skin and the chair.

His eyes were taped around his head.
Wax was shoved into his ears, deafening him.
A rag fulled his mouth and tape around his head gagged him.

Mike panicked!

He trashed against the ropes in a desperate act to free himself.

The blindness and the deafness....

Somebody tough him.

He stiffened up.

Drawing with a finger on the stubble on his chin.

Then a slap across his face so hard the chair fell over.

He was on his back, all his weight on his wrists and forearms.

They grabbed his hair and pulled him upright, slapped him a few more time and left the hapless youth.

Hours or days passed.  Mike could not tell.

He was given no food nor water, and he pissed on himself.

Then he felt somebody again, pushing a syringe into his shoulder.

Knocked out.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The ransom was paid.

The authorities found Mike, still bound to the chair, whimpering and broken.

He had been tied up for almost 72 hours!
