Aidan loved to get away from it all on the weekends, after dealing with craziness at work every week. He loved the countryside, and just being all alone with nature. It really chilled him out to take long hikes in the state parks that surrounded his city, and today was no exception. The weather was beautiful and he was really enjoying the solitude as he made his way deeper into a canyon he had never explored before. Aidan wasn't into a lot of fancy hiking gear, he just wore his jeans and sneakers and favorite old baseball cap as he made his way deeper into the back country.
He'd been hiking for about 2 hours, and hadn't seen another soul for the last hour or so. That suited him fine, as he had to deal all week with plenty of annoying, back-stabbing creeps at work. He took in a deep breath of the fresh, pine-scented air when his nose detected another smell. Aidan knew the odor of pot very well, as he liked to smoke an occasional doobie after work. But out here? That seemed odd to Aidan, and he proceeded down the stone pathway.
"Hold it, kid", a voice barked from behind him.
Aidan spun around, and was surprised to see two guys emerge from the bunch of trees he had just passed.
For a second or two, Aidan was stunned into silence by the sudden appearance of the two rough-looking characters.
"Hey, what's up?" he finally sputtered.
The one rough looking guy grabbed Aiden.
"On the ground, on your ass", he ordered.
"Listen, guys, I'm just taking a hike. Do your thing, I'm not getting into your business," Aidan replied.
"Shut up and do what he says," the other guy barked.
"Hands behind your back," he ordered, as he pulled a length of white rope from the backpack.
Aidan complied sheepishly, crossing his wrists behind his back, knowing he was about to be tied up. The rope was quickly lashed around his wrists, and Aidan winced as it was pulled taut and knotted.
"Ow", he grunted.
"Shut him up before someone else comes along," the one with the rifle said.
"Guys, please, just leave me...MMMPPPHHH!"
Aidan's plea was cut off by a long strip of duct tape that was pressed tightly over his mouth. The ripping sound of the tape coming off the roll continued as his assailant wrapped it around his head once, twice, three times, using the palm of his hand to seal it down over Aidan's face. The tape pressed Aidan's lips together and the tight strips prevented him from even moving his jaws.
The one who had bound and gagged him took out some more rope and tied Aidan's legs and feet together. He then stood up and re-joined his concealed item-toting companion. They spoke with each other but were too far away for their captive to hear what they were saying.
"OK, kid, stand up", the one who had tied him said, walking over and grabbing Aidan under the arm.
"MMMUMMMPPHHH!!" Aidan mumbled as he struggled to his feet. His bound legs made it difficult to even stand up, but with the XXXX's help, he was finally vertical. Aidan stood still, afraid of losing his balance.
"Start hopping", the Rough looking guy barked.
"MMMPPPHHH???!!!!" Aidan grunted, not knowing how he could possibly follow this command, with his legs tied so tightly, and his hands behind his back. A quick shove from behind made Aidan hop wildly, trying to keep his balance on the irregular, rocky ground. His mind raced as he wondered what was to become of him.
