"So, Mr. Victor, who will die first? You or your friend here, Anthony." Questioned the man in all black, with his whole face covered and eyes covered by sun glasses.
"Fuck you" yelled Victor, as he spat in the mans face
The man's facial expressionwent to a frown. He wiped the saliva off his face and put a knife to Anthony's throat.
Anthony looked at Victor in the eyes and said "Die well, we'll all be together again in the afterlife"
With a quick move, the man in black slit Anthony's throat and wiped theblood off the knife on Anthony's uniform.
Victor yelled and tried breaking the ties off the chair, but failed and dropped to the floor.
The man in black ordered two men to pick him up and sit him straight.
"Now, Victor, don't do anything rash, or I'll make your death slow and painful."
Suddenly a man walked into the room. He went over to the man in black and saluted.
"Sir, they're here, we must evacuate before they reach us."
The man in black sheathed his knife and walked away from Victor.
"It's been a pleasure, but I must go."
As the men left the room, Victor struggled to eacape.
Suddenly, a group of men burst into the room. It was the rescue team. Victor was yelling in anger. One of the men shook him and kept yelling his name.
"Victor! Victor, snap out of it! Victor!"
Suddenly, Victor wome up in bed with his wife shaking him.
"Victor! Jesus, you had another flashback and were yelling. Are you okay? It sounded like this one was worse." It was Victor's wife, Amber
"Im fine dear" Victor looks at the clock and its 4:15 a.m. "Did I wake you?"
"Yes, but it's all okay."
"I'm sorry."
"I said it's fine, now go back to sleep." She kissed him and rolled over.
