But he is muffled right away with a sack over his head; hands seize his arms, wrench them to his back, and secure them with a length of rope. Tim struggles with all his might, shaking his head hard to shake off the sack but soon that, too, is tightened around his neck. He jerks around to get free, but his captors are too many.
