Chapter Fourteen

Sam hissed one long whistle between his teeth. “Now that’s a stab in the back if ever I’ve seen one.”

The stupefied look on their prisoner’s face declared that he too hadn’t seen it coming. Alex felt the man’s shoulders droop beneath her grip as his body reacted to the shame and calamity his men had brought upon him. In the midst of the new situation they now faced, the candle flickered back and forth in the gentle late evening breeze, its flame coming dangerously close to the deck on far too many occasions. Out of time and not willing to tempt fate any further, Alex executed the strangling technique she had acquired through her special forces training on their now prisoner. Ten seconds later she let the man fall unconscious to the floor at her feet. With their immediate threat now deactivated she leaped across the deck and extinguished the burning candle before turning back to free Sam.

“I wonder how many times you still have to save my life,” he said as she worked her way through the knots.

“Probably as many times as you have to save mine,” Alex replied when her fingers slipped through the last knot around Sam’s wrists.

“What cowards would leave their leader for dead like this?” Sam asked as he started peeling his petrol-soaked clothing from his body.

“The inexperienced kind,” Alex answered as she dropped her clothing on the floor too. “These guys were either complete imbeciles or total novices, not to mention the fact that they think women don’t possess a brain,” she added.

“I’m inclined to think they’re equally idiotic and inexperienced. But the real question is, who are they working for?”

“Well, this time we have leverage and a source. Unlike our previous attackers, this guy is very much alive, and if I have my way with him, he’ll rat them out in no time. Besides, once he wakes up and recalls what happened, he’ll want revenge,” Alex said as she disappeared below to take a shower and put on fresh clothes.

“Okay, don’t worry about the half dead guy on our deck. You just keep knocking them over and I’ll keep cleaning up the mess,” Sam said with playful sarcasm as he looked down at the unconscious man lying at his feet.
