Cooked

 They roped their arms behind their backs, forcing their elbows and forearms together, with their wrists crossed.  Circling their chests they lashed their upper arms to their sides.  Roping around their wrists and waist, they bound their tied arms to their torsos.

Taping their heads and shoving a bandanna down their throats, they were blindfolded and gagged.

Placed in a choke hold, they were gut punched until their legs buckled.  Their boots and socks were removed, and their pants' legs folded up do thee ropes would bite into their crossed ankles.

Then they were hoisted up!

With their heads a foot off the ground, they took a knife and cut off their shirts, baring their chests towards the hot sun.

Then their were hoisted up high off the ground.

Now strung up, bound and bare-chested, they baked in the sun, squirming in the ropes, their sweat puddling on the ground below them.

"Now boys it's 90 degrees and the sun will set in 8 hours.  You should be well cooked by then.... then well take some ransom photos and leave you up their for the night."

Their gagged cries began.
