Chapter 1

I woke to darkness and it took me a moment to realise that a burlap sack was obscuring my vision. Head swimming, I tried to move, only to find that I was tied to a chair. Before I could start hyperventilating, the sack was ripped off of my face, and I found myself surrounded by masked men.

Ransom, my mind produced sluggishly as one man spoke a prepared speech to the camera. I've been kidnapped.

Who I'm guessing was there leader then gave a few sharp commands and I suddenly found himself being dragged inside some cavernous area. I was thrown about up onto a table, and it was only when the restraints were tied that I realised what was happening. "No!" I screamed for my life

I thrashed wildly, much to my captive's displeasure. One holding a scalpel barked order at another. "No! Please, no!" I begged for my life.

A cloth was suddenly covering my face as it was stuffed under my nose nose and mouth, forcing me to breathe whatever drug they'd put on it.

"I'm sorry Mr Stark," I heard as my consciousness, slowly slipped away into darkness a second time, I mumbled, "Please," just leaving my lips before finally submitting to the darkness.
