Three hefty men struggled and finally managed to drag the struggling boy out of the shack-of-a-barnhouse the few chickens around appeared as the only subtle factors in the whole happening “You better stay right boy or I’mma smack your teeth out without knowing it” one of the men threatened the boy who writhed and shouted doing all possible not to be dragged away to their vehicle “It's just your life kid” another intoned as he punched the boy’s head inevitably knocking him out, they bundled the teenager and threw him at the back of the vehicle “That’s that we’ve gotten number 200…now 800 more..."
