Waiting for the ransom to be paid.

"We found the boys' vehicle abandoned in the woods.  There was no sign of the missing boys.  However, there is one clue....  we found cut pieces of rope around the vehicle.

We have to assume it was used to tie them up.  Our searches found nothing.  All we can to is wait for the kidnappers to contact us."

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

Billy flexed his powerful arms again the the ropes that bound them them behind his back.  He bit down hard on his gag.  Each time he flexed the ropes cut deeper into his upper arms.  No slack.  He stopped, panting, exhausted.  His kidnappers knew how to tie him up.  His powerful arms were useless.

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

Ryan was heaving his body violently, trying to escape the tight hogtie they had put him in. His wrists and elbows were raw.  Finally, his thighs cramped.  He groaned in his gag, turned on his side.  He broke out into a cold sweat that soaked his shirt.



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

Jake just lay their on his side, hogtied.  His struggles has sapped his strength.  His arms were numb, yet he could still feel the coils of ropes around his biceps, bound a scant three inches apart.  Waves of pain came from his stressed shoulders.  His elbows and wrists bled. He head a deep groan, think it was from one of his buddies until he realized it was coming from deep inside of him.

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

John kept banging his body on the wooden floor, squirming to loosen the ropes.  He made so much noise that it brought the kidnappers in to check their ropes.  They dropped ropes from the rafters, tied it between their hogtied ankles and wrists and hoisted them up.  

Now they hung, their arms pulled back tearing their shoulders from their bodies, heads down dripping sweat onto the floor.

There would be no more struggled from the kidnapped boys.

All the could do is wait for the ransom to be paid.
