Taken

It took place on a Thursday at two in the afternoon and took around seven minutes.

Their son was out with friends, so he missed the entire thing. The couple were looking at brochures and discussing their holiday plans when a ram was used to break in the front door. The first two invaders were men dressed from head to toe in black. They carried short submachine guns and stood pointing their weapons at each of them. The two that followed were a man and a woman, each wearing white lab coats, looking like medical personnel, possibly doctors. The man went forward and lifted the husband’s chin, while the woman with a clipboard studied it, then the man’s face, then nodded. At that point, one of the soldiers came forward, pulled the husband out of his chair and held him face down on the floor while he cuffed him.

The two in white stood aside while the soldiers, taking an arm each, lifted him to his feet and marched him out into the street where he was bundled into the back of a waiting unmarked ambulance.

The whole thing was more or less carried out in silence. The wife wanted desperately to scream, but was too petrified and passed out halfway through the operation.

Once all four people were in the vehicle, it took off at high speed.

During the days and weeks and years that followed, no explanation was ever forthcoming.

So, be warned!
