Muffled screams

They marched the hostages into the barn.

They put their arms behind their backs.

Taking barn rope they weaved it between their arms, starting just at the shoulder, around their biceps and elbows, lashing together their forearms and wrists, and circling the rope a dozen times chests and guts.

Kicking them onto the floor, they ropes their thighs, knees, shins and ankles, and bending their legs back tied their ankles to their wrists.

They shoved an old rag into their mouths and over their eyes.  Then they roped around their heads, securing the blind fold and gag.

Lifting them up them dumped each one of them into a storage bin.

Now the hogtied boys were panicked.  They trashed and squirmed in their bonds to no avail as

the bins were covered with wood and nailed into place, entombing them.  Ignoring their terrorized muffled screams they said....

"You better hope all goes our way, for if not we will burn the barn down with the three of you inside."

And their muffled screams went unheard.
