Blue Light Special Pt.IX

Taking me by the wrist, he pulled me towards the area of the building that used to be the gardening center.  Suddenly he stopped and reaching into his pocket, pulled out a large knife.  For one split second I thought he was going to stab me!  "No, no senorita, es sólo para efecto....effect, si?  Yes??"  "Oh, oh for the effect."  He nodded his head wrapped his arm around my waist holding the knife and put his other hand over my mouth.  He resumed pulling me towards the gardening center and I pretended to resist.  We stopped next to the merchandise racks, now partially bare of stuff.  "Don't scream y no te lastime."  He repeated it louder and held the knife close to my throat.  I nodded my head. 

There was a chair near one of the displays and he reached over and slid it next to me.  "Sentarse...sit!"  I sat on the chair.  Grabbing my shoulders he turned me so I sat sideways on it.  For a small man, be was remarkably strong.  Taking hold of my arms, he pulled them behind my back.  I was again feeling very anxious.  I looked around and saw a tiny red light blinking high up on the wall opposite us.  It must be the security camera.   "Please don't hurt me." I said, not acting as I looked over my shoulder at the man who was now tying my wrists.  He said nothing but wrapped more and more lengths of rope around them.
