As the trunk of the car opens, Tilly's hears the words: "You'll be glad
to know we're here." For a short time, this might afford her some
relief, until she realizes she is going to be secured to a
tree with plastic cuffs, and her cleave gag traded for a duct tape gag
which is wrapped around her head as well as the tree, immobilizing her.
The man says it would be a shame if things went wrong
for him and he didn't come back to free her later, because no one is
likely to find her for a long, long time. After he leaves her alone,
Tilly flexes her wrists inside the plastic cuffs but they are
totally unforgiving. She can't possibly escape; nor can she speak or
even move her head. Even her legs are secured with a pair of plastic
cuffs around her ankles and a zip tie tightened directly
below her knees. She is as helpless as she can possibly be, trapped in
the middle of woods, hoping against hope that someone will find her
before nightfall.
