Mihali Kowalczyk awoke.
Darkness surrounded him. Mihali Kowalczyk struggled weakly, soon realizing his arms were tightly bound behind him.
"You're awake."
A deep voice sounded, and Mihali Kowalczyk immediately whispered, "Who are you?"
Mihali Kowalczyk had spoken in Polish, so the person conversing with him switched to Polish as well.
"We are the ones looking for you, but not the ones wanting to kill you. Now, do you understand your fate?"
After a long silence, Mihali Kowalczyk finally replied with a low voice, "My daughter—how is she?"
"She's fine. We let her go; she should be home by now. She was smart not to call the police, otherwise, she would be dead by now."
It was Mike speaking, and although his tone was calm when he mentioned Mihali's daughter, he actually felt somewhat irritated inside—believing that Mihali Kowalczyk's daughter should have been there as well.
