Bill pulled out of the church parking lot, relieved to get past another Easter service. He and his wife Terry weren't usually church goers, but Terry always insisted on going on Easter and Christmas, as well as a few other times during the year.
Terry and Bill had been married for eight years. Five years ago they adopted a little girl who was spending Easter break with her grandparents. Terry had wanted more children but Bill was unable to have any.
The two of them made a nice looking couple. Bill was six-foot, slender with short dark-brown hair and brown eyes. Terry was 30-years old like her husband. Tall: standing 5'10". She had short blond hair and a very pretty face with pouty-lips and green eyes. She was very thin; looking like one of those waif supermodels that would fly away in a high wind. But her ass and long legs were well-toned and shapely thanks to her daily regimen of running. With her tiny boobs and thin body Terry knew that her legs were her best asset and loved to show them off. Today she was wearing a tight yellow dress that stopped at mid-thigh so that her legs were well displayed.
In the back seat sat their three closest friends. Robyn and Joey were married and lived next door. Joey was living there when Bill and Terry got married and moved in. He met Robyn at one of their parties not long after she had divorced her first husband. Robyn and Terry had been friends since their senior year of high school. The two went to a local college together. Both had married the same year, but Robyn's marriage only lasted four years before breaking up.
While she loved Terry, Robyn often found herself jealous of her friend. Back in high school and college Robyn was the one that guys were interested in whenever the two of them went anywhere together. She was equally as pretty as Terry in the face, but had a 36-C chest and a hot body. But all that changed after having two children in three years. Sure her tits went to double D's before dropping down to a D. But that was the only benefit her body received. She had gained a considerable amount of weight and now faced a life-long battle to stay fit. She was now down to 145 pounds, but at 5'4" she still needed to improve. Robyn missed the days when she would attract boys, like flies to honey, at parties, often leaving Terry alone while she went off to spend the night with someone new. Now she envied Terry's ability to stay so thin. And she begrudged the fact that when the two of them are together in public she would catch the eyes of men on Terry's tight ass instead of her.
Joey was a shy young man when he first met Terry and Bill. He had a fiancée' once but that ended a year before Robyn broke up. After going a year without hardly a date, and nothing but his hand for pleasure, he was happy to accept the chance to go out with Robyn. The two began dating and were married seven months later. Robyn's two children lived with them, but they were spending the week with their father.
The fifth person in the car was Shaun. He and his ex-wife had been friends with everyone for years as well. But their marriage broke up almost a year ago and he was finding it difficult living alone. Knowing that he would be depressed sitting at home alone on Easter Bill and Terry had invited him to come along with them to church, then to a nice Easter lunch.
Bill drove them to the next town to dine at a favorite restaurant. Bill had been smart enough to call the night before to make reservations, but had not counted on the parking lot being filled. He dropped everyone off at the door and set out to find a space on the street. Two roads down he found an office park with and empty parking lot. Not seeing any signs discouraging parking he pulled in and parked. Bill was somewhat concerned that the location of the lot was out of view of the main road, but felt that since this was the middle of the afternoon that everything would be safe.
After dining, and enjoying a couple drinks, the five of them left the restaurant. Bill offered to go get the car but the others agreed that since the weather was so nice that they would all walk. They headed off down the street and rounded the corner to enter the old office park. Bill spotted the two men wearing baggy jeans and t-shirts standing beside his car before the others did. Both men looked to be in the early twenties. Each was tall, standing at least 6'2" and muscular.
"Is this your car?" One of them asked as he saw the others approaching.
"Why yes it is." Bill replied. "We couldn't find a place to park at the restaurant, so I pulled in here."
The two men walked over to meet them. "You know this is private parking. You could have been towed."
"I am sorry." Bill apologized. "I didn't see any signs. We'll be leaving now."
"Oh no you won't." The second man said, pulling a knife out of his pocket. "Ken, you got that door open?"
Someone yelled from behind on their left. Bill and the others turned to see a third man holding a door open. It was obvious that he had just broken into the place.
"You people better go inside with us." The first man said, also producing a knife.
The five of them reluctantly went inside. "Please don't hurt us." Terry begged.
The two men laughed. "Hell, we ain't gonna hurt you. We just want to tie you up so you can't go running to the cops before we get away from here.
The five of them were led into what appeared to be the office for a mechanic's shop that was next door. The two men— whom they overheard being called Hank and Jerry. Hank looked a little older than Jerry, but it was obvious that the two were brothers— found some rope and tied each of their arms behind their backs while the third man, a shorter fellow with curly brown hair named Charlie, went through the place looking for something.
"I've got it!" Charlie said, returning with a satchel. He stuck in his hand and pulled out a fist full of money. "I told you those bastards kept a bundle in the office. There's almost a thousand in here."
The three young men—obvious amateur thieves— were jubilant over what they considered to be a good take. Bill guessed that they were going to use the money for drugs.
"What about them?" Charlie asked.
"We leave them here. It will take them a while to get free and we'll be long gone by then." Hank replied.
"Not that, dumbass!" Charlie said. "How about their money?"
"Shit." Bill thought when he realized that they were also going to be robed.
The three men began going person to person searching their wallets and purses for cash. Once emptied Hank said, "Don't forget jewelry. This lady has a nice necklace." He pointed out Terry's silver chain and diamond pendant. It was only worth about fifty bucks, but looked more expensive. Hank removed the necklace while Charlie searched Robyn.
