He had no way of knowing how long he’d been asleep, but when he woke up, Price found himself in a dark room with almost no light – he was bound very tightly to what felt like a wooden upright chair. His legs were bound to the chair legs and his arms to the chair arms, using what felt like nylon cable ties. He even had some kind of strap around his chest, which held him firmly against the back of the chair, constricting his movement so much that it made it difficult for him to take a deep breath.
His eyes were not covered and neither was his mouth. Whilst shouting for help was normally a pretty good idea, he decided not to waist his energy given that he was probably still underground. He tried to look around and make out the walls but couldn’t see anything except two small blue lights to his right – almost like cats eyes. “What the hell are they?” he said to himself – they seemed to be staring at him like some kind of alien creature.
Still looking around and clearly unable to escape, Price decided to get someone’s attention, “Hey, let me out of here!”
At that moment the blue lights moved from his side and round the back of him, out of view.
“What’s out there? What the hell is this?” he shouted in an aggressive tone.
Still nothing and then the room lights came on and Price could see he was in a small room facing a wall – the grey concrete colour pretty much confirming his assumption that he was still underground. He strained his neck to look behind and could just make out the edge of a door with his peripheral vision.
A few more minutes passed and then he heard the voice he dreaded, “Hello Price.”
Price screwed his eyes up in disappointment. He didn’t really know the voice that well, as he’d only spoken to Mike a couple of times, but he knew a British accent when he heard one, so he said, “Mike, good to see you. You get around – first the Philippines, then the hotel and now here.”
Mike walked around the room to face Price. Then without saying anything, he punched him in the side of his face, breaking the skin just below Price’s left eye. “Shut up! You think you’re so smart – I’ve been way ahead of you – you’re just guessing – you don’t know where I’ve been. I’ll tell you one thing though. Very soon you’ll wish you’d stayed at home.”
Despite the pain in his face, Price managed to smile as he looked at Mike’s wrist and the bright orange G-force watch he was wearing. Then he said, “You did a good job of avoiding the hotel cameras Mike. And I give you 10 out of 10 for getting in to the country unseen, because we were looking for you – with the best intentions I might add. But your watch showed up on the hotel footage.
