So I'm on a night shift. I'm pretty used to it by now. At nights I go out on runs, thinking nothing of it really. In a city, but not a busy one. Streets are pretty empty at nights. I always take the same path on my runs. I walk the beginning area though to get to my normal run spot. I always walk through this back alley behind some retail stores on a strip mall, it's dark but I'm used to it. So I never think much of it.
This particular night I'm walking and parked beside the building Is an large Chevy Tahoe and a few guys sitting around. Just smoking and talking and laughing. I'm an introverted person at heart so I avoid them just simply from that. Not really out of being afraid.
As I walk by I notice the 3 of them. The first guy "X" yells out at me.
X – "Hey man what's up? Want a beer man?"
Me – "No I'm fine, thank you though"
The second guy jumps in. "Y"
Y – "Come on man, we really don't mind. Come have a beer with us"
I hear X and the third guy "Z" laughing. Sort of snickering really. Now I just kind of feel like they are fucking with me. Making fun of me or something so I'm just kind of annoyed.
Me – "No I'm good."
X – "Wow man no need to be rude, we were only trying to be polite"
I just ignore them.
Z – "What an asshole" ( starts laughing)
I just keep walking the way I was ignoring them. I hear the Tahoe start up. Y and Z run up to me while X drives the car up next to me. Now I'm starting to get worried thinking I'm about to get mugged.
Y and Z catch up to me.
Me – "Look guys, I don't have anything of value on me but an ipod. If you want it you can have it"
Z – "Oh no dude, we just want to hang out. Don't know why you are being so mean to us" (laughing)
Me – "Come on seriously...."
X drives up next to us slowly and rolls the windows down.
X – "Hey man, why don't you come along with us? We are heading out to an awesome party, we'd love to have you come along."
Me – "Look, I've already tried to get away politely. I just want to be left alone and finish my run"
Z – "Hey man, we are good guys. If you'd just come hang out with us and get to know us you'd find that out"
Me – "look I'm sure you are great guys (sarcastically), but you are really just harassing me. I just want to mind my own business and go about my way"
Y – "Well now your business is our business.."
Y reaches out to touch me and I just punch him in the stomach and run.
Instantly Z runs after me. He catches me by the shirt and grips tight while dropping his weight to the ground. Dragging me down with him. I hear the car door slam shut. X is running over now and so is Y. I struggle with Z and get out of his grip but X just tackles me. Then Y catches up and Z is on top of me.
X – "Get the cuffs."
When I hear that my heart sinks. As X ran over he dropped 2 sets of hand cuffs and some duck tape on the ground. I try to yell but X and Y are holding me down. X is covering my mouth. Z cuffs my hands with both sets of hand cuffs. Then they uncover my mouth. I instantly yell but it's short lived. They tape my mouth shut.
Z starts laughing again. I hate those laughs, laughs of an asshole. Especially the laugh of an asshole getting his way.
X and Z grab me by my shoulders and pick me up. Y gets right in my face.
Y – "You little asshole, you are gonna regret punching me"
They drag me over to the Tahoe. I notice the hatch back of the Tahoe was never closed. I start to realize this was sort of planned. Thinking, why would these guys just be hanging out in a back alley. Probably just waiting for someone to come by. Then X driving over to me with the hatch back never being closed. They were planning on this.
As I'm brought over to the back the hoist me up and push me into the back and shut the door. The seats are down..... plenty of room.
Of course I'm not quite thinking of any of this at the time. I'm kinda freaked out. I honestly think they are going to kill me or something. I don't really consider any kind of sexual act. I hear Z laughing in the back ground.
X hops into the drivers seat. Y and Z hop into the back on either side of me. X starts driving.
Z – "those are some mighty short shorts you got there" (starts laughing again)
Y – "so you are a runner huh? Running around in those loose shorts..."
Now this is odd. Sounds very off to me. I'm still not connecting everything. I'm a straight guy, this situation has never occurred to me.
Y – "Have you found a spot yet?"
X – "Yeah , nobody ever comes here"
