Ted was doing as he had been told...standing in the corner with his face to the wall. It was humiliating, but when an object is pointed at you, you're inclined to do as you're told.

He had just come back from a long run, and when he entered the house, he immediately heard some odd noises coming from the living room. He peeked in, and saw two figures in black rifling through his stuff and pushing the furniture around.

"HEY! Who the...." Ted exclaimed, and the two men swung around to face him. They had on stocking masks which squashed their facial features in that creepy way Ted had seen in movies and on TV shows. And one of them was pointing that object right at Ted's chest.

Gesturing with the XXXX, the intruder "invited" Ted to join them. Ted had instinctively raised his hands when he saw the object, and took a few steps forward. He was grabbed by the other guy in a headlock.

"Now, just be good, kid, and you'll be all right. We'll be out of here in a little while."

Ted gasped for breath as the muscular arm tightened around his throat, and some little white fireworks began to pop in front of his eyes. The guy moved his arm, and grabbed Ted's arms, twisting them behind his back in a vise-like grip. Ted heard the unmistakeable sound of duct tape being torn from a roll, and the armed thug plastered two wide strips over his mouth, sealing them down tightly with the edge of his hand. At the same time, Ted felt thick rope being wound around his wrists, and knotted. As soon as his hands were locked up in rope, he was pushed into the corner.

The two strangers went back to work, trashing Ted's living room.

After about ten minutes, one of them spoke.

"Hey Lenny, I think this is the wrong house. There ain't no safe in here."

"Hey kid, is this 1292 Evergreen?"

Ted's eyes widened and he shook his head "NO!" as he tried to grunt through his gag. He lived at 1294 Evergreen.

"Dammit, Lenny, we better split!"
"OK, but we better tie the kid up more...gimme the rest of that rope!"

Before he knew it, Ted was pushed down onto his butt, and his ankles were quickly roped together. Then he was rolled onto his stomach, and his legs were pulled up and tied to his hands, hogtying him.

"Sorry, kid, our mistake", the one with the XXXX said. He swung the butt of the object towards the back of Ted's head, and Ted went out for a nice long XXXX.
