Evening came around soon enough, and with my last meal of the day came the news. “One hour,” the guard said. “Be ready.”

“I’ll put my make-up on,” I assured him.

“Sure you will, sweetheart. I’ll be back in one hour.”

He left to tell the next man, and I used the time to eat my meal and stretch my body out once more.

I then went back to lie on my bed, and waited.

The guard was as good as his word; he and three more riot-suited friends came for me exactly an hour later.

We went through the regular routine, until I was cuffed and chained; I’d considered using my two and a half seconds to take these guys out and start my escape attempt, but decided against it.

Because a part of me – the “nosy bastard” part – actually wanted to get to that tournament, no matter the risks involved.

The guards turned me around and I saw two more men in the doorway, aiming rifles at me. I hoped they were loaded with rubber bullets, but you never knew. They seemed to have rules here all their own.

But I knew that, if I had to – if this scenario happened again, and I wanted to escape – I could meet the first two in the middle of the cell, take them out and use one of them as a human shield against the shooters in the doorway. I noticed the guards had handguns holstered at the waist, and I wondered if I’d be able to pull one out and use it on the men with the rifles, aiming around the body I was using as a shield.

It was definitely possible, I told myself, and filed the information away for future reference.

Once I was suitably secured, they led me out of my cell, into the stark, white corridor; the start of my journey into Hell.
