Chapter 1
Gordon stood, his hands trembling fists by his sides. His amber eyes focused murderously on the red cloaked figure of the Hood through the bars of the cage.
The Hood smiled languidly at him. "Now international Rescue. I believe I have come up with the perfect way to get rid of your pesky organisation."
"Oh, really?" Gordon ground out. He wanted to know where Alan was. They had been captured. Gordon couldn't think how or when or why. But they had been. One minute they were on a rescue the next he was waking up here, in a cage, with the Hood watching him with a smug smile.
The Hood laughed eerily and hit a switch. A screen flickered to life, showing a grainy red image of Alan. Gordon's eyes widened, then narrowed as he looked at the Hood once more. "What is this?" he grit out.
The Hood laughed again. "A game. One which you must play or your associate will die."
Gordon looked at the image of Alan. "What kind of game? What are you talking about?" he snapped, his temper getting the best of him.
"Your associate is in a sealed room with enough air to last him 24 hours. The point of this game, quite simply, is for you to find your associate before the 24 hours is up. If you win I will let you both go free. However, if you don't reach that room and free him within the 24 hours he will die and you will have to live with the knowledge that you killed him." The Hood, grinning like the mad man he was, tossed in a headset. "This is to let you speak to each other. I feel it will be most fitting for you to hear him die."
Gordon caught the headset instinctively, but he was staring in horror at the Hood. Finally he recovered himself enough to say. "Don't I at least get to know where this room is?"
"Oh no, International Rescue, it's all part of the game." The Hood laughed and went to the door.
Gordon gripped the bars. "What about the cage? Or is that part of the game too! Damn you!" he yelled as the lights shut off. The grainy red image of Alan the only light left.
