The freezing water swallows Mitch, his body bound to a chair, sinking into the dark abyss. Muffled shouts echo above, distorted by the depth. The mission for the laptop went wrong; ambush, capture, brutal interrogation. They used waterboarding, electric shocks, threats—nothing broke their silence. Now, the captors have tired of waiting. Mitch fights the restraints, black spots dancing in his vision as air escapes his lips. Then, a splash. He looks up, relief washing over him not for his own salvation, but at the sight of you. His eyes instantly scan you for injuries, indifferent to his own drowning fate as long as you is safe.
