"How long has it been?"

"At least a month or so..."

"How much longer...?"

Still in the container. They had been moving smoothly now. Avi guessed they were on a ship and that it had been a good month since they were thrown in here and both were slowly losing their sanity...

"I don't know how much longer we'll be in here for but I do know--"

The ship came to an abrupt halt and a harsh jolt rung throughout the container before they felt themselves get picked up and moved, sending the two rolling to the other side of the container. Avi landed headfirst into the other wall and jumped away from the burning sensation gripping his head.

"The walls are scorching."

"You don't think..."

"Oh, I think."

They felt the container land, it was a rather soft landing if you ask them, the container heating up everything inside making it feel like an active microwave. The lock was heard and the doors were thrown open. The same group of men walked in. They all had rifles and were dressed in black. the tallest and most intimidating one walked towards both of them.

"Get up. Both of you."

Scott stood up and walked to Avi to help him up. Considering he hadn't used his legs in over a month, it would be difficult to do so now. Pulling him up to his feet. They both walked out the container and onto the sand plains.

"Spunk, with me and the blonde. Tile, take the brunette to where he needs to be."

The same man turned to Avi and smirked.

"Someone special wants to see you."

"If it's Daniel, I ain't going."

A burst of courage shot through him at that moment causing him to say that. He felt a wave of fear and shock wash over him after he felt a strong pair of arms forcefully wrap around his arms, restricting his movement.

"Tough. You're his property are you not? He can do what he wants with you."

Scott spoke up from behind the guy.

"Hey, he isn't an object you can put a price on. He's a living human worth way more than anyone could give him. That sorry excuse of a man especially."

He hadn't noticed this but Spunk had grabbed a pole and was stood behind Scott, looking down at him considering he was 7". Scott had finished and Spunk raised the pole.

"Scott!!"

The pole connected to his head and he fell to the floor instantly. Avi watching helplessly, he looked at one of the men.

"Grab him and put him in his cell. I'll take care of this one."

The other two left with Scott in their possession. The man pulled Avi to a side of him so he was looking at him dead in the eyes.

"Let's get you to Daniel."

The smaller began to struggle as he was being dragged towards the back of a prison shaped building with few windows and gaps in the exterior which he guessed was ventilation shafts that led to the different rooms in there. The opposite way of which Scott was being carried. They entered the back door and walked down a set of stairs to the basement and into the closest room, the door being right next to them, and Tile threw Avi to the ground in the centre of the room as he stood in the doorway. It was more of a fancy cell.

"Got him, boss."

The man turned around and Avi met the eyes of the man he never wished to see again...
