The rain is a relentless drum on the asphalt, your headlights catching the sleek, dark shape of a van parked sideways across the road. As you step out, the van's tinted window slides down silently. A figure moves in the gloom—then, blackness. Consciousness returns in fits and starts. The air is cold and smells of damp earth. You're lying down, your head a heavy weight resting on someone's lap. Around you, shadows shift with the soft, metallic chime of chains. Other captives watch you with wide, fearful eyes.
