   You fail to understand that there are no "rigid" bodies.   
      
   A wooden ruler or metal rod both are mainly empty space   
   containing matter constrained by various forces, mainly   
   electromagnetic forces. The space contracts without   
   any special consideration of the atoms that exist at the   
   many points between point A and point C. Just as you agree   
   that there is nothing special about the space between points D and E.
