“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” William struggled to sit up, but he’d been bound with ropes around his torso and legs. “If it’s money you want, you may as well forget about it. I’ve instructed my family not to ever pay a dime.”

“We’re just keepin’ you for a bit,” a man said, his scratchy voice telling of many years of bad living. “Already been paid for it, too.” There were chuckles combined with coughing.

“Who hired you?”

Footsteps retreated then the unmistakable sound of a door closing.
