Deadly Kisses

I wake up in a room with white walls.
I am trapped: tied down onto a chair, a piece of cloth gagging my mouth, half-conscious. Slowly, as my vision comes into focus, I see a desk in front of me, a row of adults dressed in white lab coats. There's a lady with red hair. A man with glasses. And another man sitting in the middle, his hands clasped on the desk, his dark gaze fixed directly on me.
He's the one to speak first. "You're awake."
Unable to move or speak, I blink in response.
"You may take off your gag to speak."
When I don't move, he prompts me. "Go ahead."
Warily, I attempt to loosen my arms from their hold of the ropes that tie me to the chair. Immediately, the ropes loosen and fall off. I reach up and gingerly take the gag out of my mouth. I notice that as soon as I started moving, both the red-haired lady and the man with the glasses began to furiously take notes. I am too tired to try to see what they are writing.
"There we go." The man nods. "Now, what is your name?"
My mouth is dry. "M-Massie."
"Do you have a last name?"
"Massie Block."
He smiles. "Massie Block, tell me, do you know where you are?"
Do I know where I am? I'm in a room with white walls. I try to dig in my mind, conjure any previous memory that might associate a name to this strange location. I come up with nothing.
"No."
The red-haired lady and the man with glasses abruptly stop writing, look up at me. The man with the dark eyes smiles.
"Welcome home."
