In a dimly lit room, two men sat on the floor, their bodies battered and bruised, blood staining their clothes. The room was silent except for their labored breathing, a stark contrast to the violence they had endured. Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a tall, muscular figure stepped inside. His fitted shirt and pants emphasized his powerful build, though his face remained shrouded in shadows. Despite this, the chiseled features of his face and his tightened jaw were visible.
Two men followed him into the room, positioning themselves on either side as he took a seat in front of the captives. One of the men handed him a gun, which he accepted with a smirk, pointing it casually yet menacingly at the two bloodied men on the floor.
Glancing at his wristwatch, he announced, "You have 15 minutes." His voice was calm, yet it carried a menacing undertone. "Just tell me who you work for."
One of the captives, his voice trembling, managed to stammer, "W-W-We ha-have n-nothing to do with the scam," desperation evident in every word.
The room grew colder, the silence broken only by the captives' ragged breaths and the relentless ticking of the man's wristwatch. The leader's smirk widened, his eyes narrowing with a dangerous gleam as he leaned forward, the gun steady in his grip.
"Ten minutes," he said, his voice icy. The room fell silent again, save for the relentless ticking of the watch. One of the men standing beside the leader played a video on his phone, holding it up for the captives to see.
The screen showed a young girl eating her lunch at school. The girl was the daughter of one of the captives. Seeing the video, the man shouted and cried out, his voice breaking with fear and anguish. "NO!!! PLEASE DON'T HARM HER, PLEASE! SHE'S THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE, SHE DOESN'T HAVE HER MOTHER. PLEASE... I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING. PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HER!"
"Five minutes," the leader intoned, his expression unchanging, eyes cold and unforgiving. The urgency in the room intensified, the captive's pleas echoing in the oppressive silence as the seconds continued their relentless march.
