Begging

 He gagged the kid so he wouldn't hear his begging.  He sat back and watched him sweat as he awaited instructions.

Ropes and Tape

 They shoved a rag into Mike's mouth and taped up his eyes and mouth.

Then the gut punching began.

Awaiting their fates

 They brought Ryan into the barn and stretch him out, back to back, with Jason.  Tying Ryan's wrists to the cross beam, they tied their necks, biceps and torsos together.  Gagging them both and taping their eyes, they left them hanging, streaming with sweat and shivering with terror as they awaited their fates.
