The abduction

The Aztec gang split into two groups. One group swiftly and silently got ahead of Jamal and Tara while the other lagged behind, keeping tabs on them. The gang knew right where they wanted to catch them, and there was no way Jamal and Tara could avoid going there. It was a dark, dingy alleyway nestled between two abandoned warehouses just four blocks up the street from the school.

Tara felt so safe with Jamal by her side. She hoped this would be the start of a long lasting relationship, and that maybe someday they'd even get married and have children. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside to think about having Jamal's baby for some reason. She had never felt like this before. On impulse, she suddenly stopped, took Jamal into her arms, and kissed him passionately.

Jamal was a little surprised by the sudden change of venue, but he returned her kiss, and more. It was lingering kiss that soon brought them up from the deep waters of passion to catch their breath. Jamal smiled at Tara. "Now what was that for?"

Tara looked at him, a little puzzled, for questioning her motives. "That was because I wanted to. Because I really like you, and I really think we could be good together. There's just something about you that's so special to me. No one else has ever made me feel this way before, and I want to explore it more with you. You're not chickening out on me, are you?"

Jamal smiled and laughed. "No, I wouldn't chicken out on you. I think there's something special about you too. I want to explore, too."

Tara beamed brightly at Jamal. Then she kissed him again. She could feel herself getting all tingly inside, and she even felt a weakness between her thighs, like she needed something down there to give her strength. It made her knees buckle slightly, but Jamal kept her from falling. "Easy girl. We don't want you falling and hurting yourself." They laughed and continued to walk down the ill fated street, one block away from their doom.

Jorge caught Julio's signal from the top of the warehouse, a red laser beam, which meant his group was in position. "Okay guys. It's time to make our move." Swiftly Jorge's group came up behind Jamal and Tara, knocking them both to the ground, right at the mouth of the alleyway. Julio's group was now on top of them, pinning them both to the ground.

Tara screamed out for help, and was slapped across the face for her efforts. "Go ahead and yell. No one will hear you" said Julio as he popped open his switchblade. He held the blade to Tara's neck. "Behave or I will cut you." to show her he meant business he pricked the underside of her chin with the tip. Rivulets of blood streamed down the frightened girl's neck.

Jamal gave them no trouble at all. He knew if he did Tara would be the one to suffer for it. He didn't want to see that happen. It was bad enough to see her get pricked by Julio's blade. He knew this gang, and he knew they meant business.

Tara and Jamal were quickly subdued into submission after that. The gang used zip ties to bind their hands and feet. Then they gagged them with old dirty red bandanas, and carried them off into the night.
