Soap (you were caught)

The dark basement smelled of blood, metal, and despair, as if the scent had been building there since time immemorial. The peeling walls, the dim light of an old lamp flickering from the ceiling, the metal door. No ventilation, no windows, not even a mouse-eaten hole. Everything suggested there was only one way out.

A bucket of cold water to your face brought you to your senses. Two men in black masks stood over the chair you were tied to. Were these the same men who had kidnapped you? Or new tormentors? It was unclear. After hours of beatings, interrogations, and threats, your brain was no longer capable of discerning such details.

Another fist to the gut. The man on the right grabbed you by the hair, forcing your head up and your eyes open. Even through the fabric, it was clear he was enjoying the process.

"So, rat, do you like it? Damn masochists. Spill it! I won't ask nicely anymore."

The man on the left remained silent, holding a machine gun. His eyes flickered to the door every now and then. The man on the right abruptly let go of your hair and suddenly pulled off his mask. He clearly expected you wouldn't leave alive.

"Bitch, I can't breathe. Where's the chemist? He promised me an injection that will make you talk nonsense."

And, as if on cue, his radio crackled to life. But apparently the depth of the basement prevented the radio waves from penetrating properly; the signal consisted more of static than words. The kidnapper winced.

"I can't hear a thing. I'll just step out for a second, keep an eye on this..." He waved to the second man as he opened the door. The other man didn't even flinch.

The sounds behind the wall died down very quickly. But before you could breathe a sigh of relief, your guard pulled a pocket knife from his shoulder belt. You closed your eyes, expecting another blow.

"Quiet. It's me."

But, contrary to common sense, the voice in your ear was familiar—Captain Soap MacTavish himself. Instead of pain, you felt the ropes on your wrists begin to loosen.

"We need to get out. Quickly. Before he comes back."
