To her surprise, a large black car, with
Instantly, two very large men, who were dressed completely in black, jumped from the vehicle. Before she could react, one of the men pulled a slender, long, black gun, from behind his back. The gun had been fitted with a shiny, silver silencer, which reflected the early morning sunrays.
The other man quickly moved behind her and grabbed her arms. He snapped a pair of handcuffs on her wrists and continued to hold her arms tight behind her back.
With his right hand, he roughly ran it up and down her chest and chuckled softly as he leaned against her. He bent so that his black stocking cap rubbed against her face. As he pulled her closer to him, he pressed his body tight against her and turned so he could breathe directly into her face. When she shivered and tried to pull away, he put his left hand over her mouth and moved his right hand up to her neck.
“What?” she coughed as she struggled to get free. Tears ran down her face and her eyes darted back and forth as she searched the deserted area for help.
Neither man made a sound. The man standing directly in front of her fiercely glared into her eyes. He put his index finger over his mouth as a signal for her to be quiet. Then, he nodded to her and slashed his hand across his own throat, as an internationally understood warning of what would happen to her if she screamed.
