Alex :of course you will feel that way, (giggles) but no, i won't try that, the punk went to a ale-house that night his body was found not far from it, so by the look of it, i'd say he was poisoned'

And then he was drugged from behind, the next day when he woke up there's this empty and awfully dark room he is in, worse of all he's bound to sit on the charger, tied, untill God knows when, he sighs, shaking his head, he then heard some footsteps that halts abruptly at the door, he held his breath in anticipation and then exhaled nervously, he hasn't seen anyone in the room for three days, this is the first time he ever notice anyone's presence, his stomach rumble, 'right' he thought, he hasn't eaten anything either for three days, the door opened after a series of key rattling noise, a man entered because it is dark he couldn't make out the feature, he just started untill he heard a stool placed in front of him and a plate of food and a cup of water, the man left, leaving garry in wonder, how is he going to eat after being tied like this?.
***************************
(peter's hand banged on the table he sat on, he turned furiously to the man in front of him, peter is powerfully.-built, but also considered handsome because of his light features).

barnes :but sir, what if i cut the rope and somehow he...... (Peter slams).
Peter : oh you senseless hog, Don't you dare cut the rope.... unties his hands only, it's dark in there even if he tries untieing the leg's which he will be blind to do so, so now i give you my warning you....
