“I still say we waste ‘em…or at least the chink,” said Leroy. “We can't take no enemy to the Vale.”
“We don't know yet that he is an enemy, Leroy,” Randall said tonelessly. “You have to look deeper than a person’s skin, man. Now get him up and bound. I want him reaching the Professor in one piece, you hear me?”
Randall’s words heartened me a little; at least we were being taken to see someone. Maybe this Professor guy would be more reasonable. It sounded like he was in charge of the whole deal, but my brain refused to let me fully believe that we were safe, my hopes had been shattered too many times.
My hands were pulled behind my back and a plastic zip tie slipped around my wrists. It was tight enough to hold them but not tight enough to cut off circulation.
All around me the rest of my group were being similarly treated. I caught Indigo’s eyes and nodded encouragingly before a black sack was pulled down over her head. I did the same for the others, trying to reassure them as they looked back at me with apprehension and fear. Then my own head was covered and the world went dark. With the bag over my head, sightless and surrounded by armed men, I was as scared as I ever remembered being in my life.
“Now, we're going to lead you through a couple of tight places,” I heard Randall say from in front of us, “and it’s going to be a bit of a hike. You should be fine as long as you don't do anything stupid.”
A hand grabbed my shoulder and propelled me forward. “Let's go people! Leroy, cut the lights!”
