Bound, and Naive

The eight members of B Team struggled as they tried to yell.

However, they were muffled by the tape over their mouths. They were pressed tightly together by the rope around them, which made it difficult for them to exert any strength.

In the command vehicle, the captain didn't hear anything. He was anxious. "A Team, what's the situation? Are there any casualties in B Team?"

His words woke up the members of A Team, and one of them quickly replied, "Negative, Captain, they should be fine."

Captain: "What about the assailants? Did they catch them?"

The team member looked conflicted. "Negative." It was their teammates who were 'caught' instead.

They were tied up in a pile and had even been gagged.

Five minutes later, the team captain and Reyes' faces were ashen as they looked at the group of ESU members in between the containers.
