Part 2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With hands and legs bound, not to mention being blindfolded, the three of us lay there helpless. We would have thought of crying out or trashing around to attract attention if not for the knife we saw earlier. As the van drive on, we could do nothing but sit there in the darkness, occasionally jerk around when the van moves/stops suddenly.
After a few hours of driving, the van finally – finally – stopped. The sudden momentum sent us crashing to the front and into each other. I think I must have knocked my head on someone’s feet, judging by the smell of shoes. Our predicament emitted laughs from our captors. I think they must be enjoying our suffering, because really, couldn’t they just hold us in place when the car is about to stop? Seriously!
We heard the door of the van being opened. I felt hands around by chest and waist, and suddenly I was lifted up and put on someone’s back like a sack of potatoes. I felt the person lifting me walk a short distance, heard a door creak, and I was dumped onto the floor. A few minutes later, a thump was heard, and I assumed that one of my fellow captive has been left here as well. The creaking sound of the door was heard, and silence follows.
I laid there for a few more seconds, listening, fearing that they would suddenly come back. When there was no further activity, I immediately started pushing up my blindfold against the floor. It took several tries, but I finally managed to push it up my forehead. It took me a few moments to adjust to the light. It is a farmhouse (or is it a barn house?) with stacks of hay at the corners. Light from the sun is coming in from the windows. And beside me is Ivan – Green pants and white shoes, hands bound at the back with rope, legs tied together, blindfolded with his white uniform. He is just lying there, not even attempting to escape.
I got worried. With my hands tied behind me, I tried crawling over to Ivan. This only caused the wires to cut into my skin even more, and it is starting to hurt, but I didn’t care. I was worried about Ivan. I reached over and tried to push his blindfold with my hands that was tied behind me. How relieved I was when I felt movement. “I’m all right” came his voice.
Finally the blindfold was pushed up. With that gone, I started picking the knots tying Ivan with my back turned. The rope was brittle – it soon broke on itself. Ivan was free. He started releasing me – when we heard noises ad footsteps heading this way. Ivan pulled hard – soon I was free as well. We started running.
But the only way out was the door where the kidnappers were coming in from. We decided to try the element of surprise by tackling them suddenly when they enter. I kicked one of them in the balls when he entered, causing him to double back in pain. Ivan, who was a better athlete, did not have to resort to such tactics. He just tackled the man onto the floor and held him down with his strength. We miscalculated: There were three of them, and there was only two of us – and they had weapons. We were soon overpowered when Jack who was bringing Yoong entered with the knife earlier. Yoong has been tied differently now – his hands was tied behind him at the wrists and elbows, pulling is hands together. His legs were tied together with some kind of stump in the middle – he can’t bend his legs, and is gagged with his hanky and socks. He still had his white school uniform on, but now stained black/grey from the dust. He was dragged over to a pillar and ropes were used to tie him to it. They tied him at the chest ad also at the abs. His face was covered with bruises – and was he crying?
I and Ivan were pushed down on our stomach. My wrists were tied behind me and further length of rope was used to tie my elbows tightly together. This caused my arms to be pulled back further and my chest push out front. I felt my belt being loosened and soon my pants came off, leaving me in my underwear. “That’s for what you did to me,” said the kidnapper I kicked earlier, “thank me that it isn’t more”. I saw Ivan was tied in the same way. Ivan was then tied the same way as Yoong – legs tied with a stump they found outside ad tied to the pillar at the chest and stomach. They tied him to a different pillar, of course. They gagged him with the most convenient object they can find – the dust stained school uniform that was used as a blindfold earlier.
I was pulled up and dragged over to a overhead pole. My captor released my hands and tied them in front of me. He then gagged me with the school uniform earlier – the one stained with dust. I choked but it was reinforced with my own belt. He lifted me up while Jack helped him to hold on to my feet. My captor tied my wrists onto the overhead pole at a full arm stretch while Jack tied my legs to a pillar at about a meter from the ground at the ankles and added loops around my knees and thighs. When they let go, my body sags down due to gravity. When my arms and chest were stretched taut my tied wrists and the stretched arms took my entire body weight. Immediately my hands were starting to feel the pain while my arms and chest were starting to feel sore. With that, they turned and left.
I was left there suspended in midair with my arms supporting my whole weight, Ivan and Yoong tied up pillars. Yoong was still clothed, Ivan was only in his pants and shoes, the shirtless athletic boy’s body covered with sweat and dirt. Yoong’s sobbing can clearly be heard now that the place is quiet. What did they do to him?
