The bait

They brought Billy into the old factory.  

They cuffed his wrists behind is back, squeezing the cuffs as tight as possible.  The metal crushed into his bones.

"Ok we're going to string you up!"

Billy saw the rope.

"Please.  Why are you doing this to me?"

"We have a score to settle with your brother... so

you are the BAIT!"

Billy's protest was stopped with an old rag shoved down his throat, and duct tape covered his mouth.

Weaving the rope up Billy's arms, from his wrists to his shoulders, he was tied tight.

The bound Billy's cuffed wrists to his body with rope around his gut.  They did not want to rips his arms off his body when they strung him up.

Placing the hook under the ropes between his biceps, the hoisted him up until he was a few feet off the floor, his gagged screams echoing off of the walls of the old factory.

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

Billy could only helplessly watch as they beat his brother Ryan until he told them where he had hidden the drugs.

Then they gagged him, pushed him chest to chest with Billy, tied them together, and left them hanging from their arms.
