Part 4 – Wargame
[The opening ceremonies have concluded, with an Award of Distinction given to the Black Team for their bondage of Denny. Now they are transferring back in the golf cart to the competition area, with Denny still muzzled, bound, and ankles again locked down.]
The cart stops. Denny feels his ankles and feet being untied from the hooks on the floor. Feels himself being removed from the cart as the door unlocks and opens. He is still blindfolded but hobbles slowly to some location and feels himself laid on a kind of sleeping bag. Even with no idea where he is, this is very comfortable, he thinks. The most comfortable thing he’s laid on all day. Certainly less stressful than being bound and gagged on the stool. His bonds are very strict and tight and Denny just lays there with legs stretched out on the sleeping bag.
As Denny sinks into a feeling of relief he starts to tune into what’s happening around him. It’s his same kidnappers – he can hear voices through the masks just outside of the nook where he’s been stashed. And he also hears the creak of leather as the team member who moved him arranges his corner – it’s the creak of tight leather pants – it has to be Ari.
