The rope was tied around their crossed wrists behind their backs so tight that it already caused painful ropeburn. The tape, starting between their teeth was circled around their heads a dozen times, making for a tight gag and blindfold.
Grabbed by their arms, they were marched down the stairs to their own garage, in which a windowless van was waiting.
The three of them were dumped in, laying on their arms, and their ankles were tied.
One of the kidnappers closed the doors. The other two jumped in the cab and they took off.
He kept tracing the butt of his gun across their sweaty bare chests...
"I hope they don't pay the ransom. I could enjoy torturing you muscle boys."
The bound boys shook with fear as he tickled their bellies with the gun..
===============================
"They untied our wrists. The ropes ripped of skin and hairs. Putting us against three posts, they bound our wrists to them, high above our heads.
They had a lot of rope, so they tied each of our biceps to the posts, as well as our necks. Our torsos were lashed to is, the ropes burning our bare chests.
Our ankles were untied, our boots and socks removed, our feet pulled behind the posts, crossed and roped. they pulled up our feet and tied them to a rope around our waists.
So we hung, lashed to the posts, with the scorching sun beam down on our bare chest and arms."
===================================
"They tickled our feet so we would squirm for the camera. They put plastic bags over our heads so we would make gasping gagged sounds. They twisted the ropes around our upper arms so our veins would pop through our skin. They left our burning in the sun, with video cameras broadcasting our slow torture."
"We were told the ransoms were paid. They cut our down from the posts. We collapsed, half dead. Our wrists were again bound behind our backs, and our ankles tied again. They dumped us in the van.
We came to a swamp. They pulled us our and hogtied our wrists to our ankles, and left us to the mercy of the bugs, until our rescuers came and saved us."
