"Yes, can I help you?" Chuck asked and instinctively moved toward him. The man pulled his map aside and revealed a gun. "You're coming with me," the man said. By then Chuck was within arms reach so he did not protest when the man grabbed his arm and directed him into the car. He would later replay this moment dozens of times, questioning his decision to obey.
With the gun jammed against Chuck's ribs, the man said, "You're being kidnapped. I want you to keep your eyes down." He took two duct tape cut-outs and placed them over Chuck's eyes. He covered those with a pair of sunglasses, so no one could see from outside that Chuck was blindfolded. As the car pulled away, his abductor told Chuck, "If you attempt to do anything, like get away from us, we'll kill you. We know where your family is. We'll kill them, too."
This man, Mouhammad Albukhari, Chuck would know as "Steve." The driver, Ahmad "Jack" Sayeh, Chuck would address as "Rock." Chuck prefers to talk about them using their aliases...
