Horrendous Torture 1

After a moment of silence, Luke decided to negotiate with his captor. He concluded that if he dangled the right bait, he might just secure his freedom.

"Hey, back there! Whoever you are, I need you to let me go. I have lots of cash in my motel room and some diamonds. If you unchain me now and set me free, I'll give all the money and diamond to you."

"Did you say all the cash and diamonds?" The hoarse asked excitedly as though his fortune was about to change.

Luke heard the shuffling of the man's feet followed by slow movement. His face broke into a devilish grin as he wrongly assumed that his captor was acting exactly like Shelby, who was swayed into his nest by the mention of the word diamond.

However, when the man behind him finally came and stood in front of him, all the colours drained from Luke's face. 

"Zack!" Luke's eyes widened in horror.
