They were surrounded.
They exited the vehicle.
Unarmed.
They got to their knees and put their hands behind their heads.
Their arms were pulled behind their backs and their crossed wrists quickly bound tightly with rope.
Dumped into the two Jeeps, their ankles were tied.
Taking their own vehicle along, the three drove on the backroads into the deep woods.
=================================================================
They were dumped on the floor.
Coiling and weaving rope around their biceps, they yanked their arms together. They grunted as the rope sliced through their muscular arms. They pulled until their forearms came together. Then their biceps and forearms were tied off.
The contorted roping of their arms labored their breathing. Their sweat began to soak through their shirts. Dropping ropes from the ceiling beams, they tied it between their biceps.
Then they were hoisted up!
Ali was an Iraqi Marine training with his American counterparts. When the rednecks looked at his identification, they decided to torture him. Ali was hanging from his roped arms. They ripped open his shirts, baring his chest, and cut him up with a sharp knife. Ali did not make a sound. Finally they beat him until he was unconscious.
"They asked for ransom. The Marines do not negotiate with terrorists. They decide to leave us, hanging from our arms."
And wondered if we would be found in time!
