The single table took up most of the small room, barely leaving enough space for the two chairs on either side of it. Strange rubbed the skin underneath his handcuffs as the tether keeping them connected to the table reached its limit. The peeling paint on the walls and the stench of the room led Strange to believe this ARGUS facility was a backup used only for local problems when necessary. He also deduced that he was somewhere in South America, judging by how short the travel time had been from the island.
"We're going to need that list of potential candidates that you deemed fit to study." A younger man said as he glanced to his tablet beside him and checked to make sure it was recording properly. Strange kept silent, fighting the urge to scratch at his newly patched wounds.
"You know all we have is time Professor." The ARGUS operative sitting across from him stated, moving his pen back and forth on the table.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that, I don't expect to be here much longer." Strange calmly replied as he placed his hands flat on the table.
"Nobody knows about this place...not even half of ARGUS knows about this place. So believe me when I tell you this, but no one is coming for you." The operative explained as the lights suddenly shut off. The operative glanced up into the darkness as the few emergency lights turned on and barely illuminated the room. He stood and looked to the door as he asked into his comm.
"What's going on?" A series of replies flooded back to him all involving a security breach in the facility.
"What'd you mean a breach?" The operative asked as the sound of gunfire began to echo down the hall outside the door. The operative stepped away from the door as the sound of more gunfire and screaming grew louder. Strange stared into the dirt covered two way mirror ahead of himself and calmly asked.
"You're not afraid of bats are you?" The operative turned toward him as the lights in the room shut off, engulfing everything into darkness.
