How do I visualise this?

Kidnapper is following a victim 

The victim is a young blonde female

The Kidnapper is a tall male in his thirties who takes victims of the same profile. (serial killer)

The Kidnapper is following the victim through the school from Reeves to the MPC along the road.

They are hiding behind things big enough to hide his tall frame.

The kidnapper gets the girl alone in the MPC and uses chloroform to knock her out and drags her out of the MPC into a black van parked outside the centre.

The kidnapper has taken to an abandoned warehouse, the victim is shackled to two poles that are parallel to each other in the middle of the warehouse with their arms being held above her head. The blood staines of the old victims around the scene.
