Held for Ransom

"They hijacked the van.  We were blindfolded and taken.  The took our shirts, shoes and socks.  They say they are going to tie us up and hold us until you pay their ransom demands.  If you don't, they say they will kill us."

As soon as Jake completed the call to the school administration, he was roped.

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

"You're next boy.  Cross your wrists behind your back"

Ryan felt terror and defeat.  Beginning with his wrists, then moving up his arms, they were tightly roped at his forearms, elbows, and biceps.  Circling ropes around his torso a dozen time, his forearms were pressed into his spine.  His ankles were crossed and tied, and his legs pulled back binding them to his wrists.

"Come here boy, I'm going to bind you."

Billy was not going to be tied up without a fight.  So they wrestled him to the ground. They roped his arms behind his back, dropped a rope from the rafters, tied it to his wrists, and hoisted him up.  His arms pulled back and up, his shoulders dislocated, and his screams filled the room.  His fight was gone.  He whimpered and dripped sweat.

Jimmy closed his eyes as they shoved one of his socks into his mouth.  The gagging of the bound boys had began.  He fought back waves of nausea, knowing if he puked he could choke to death.  With the sock down his throat, rope was tied between his teeth and around his head, keeping the gag in place.

Justin just stared into the camera, glassy eyes, as they videoed the boys terror sweat.  Knocking to the floor, he was hogtied.

So they waited:  4 hogtied boys and one boy strung up, not knowing their fates.
