Roy asked, "Who are you all?"
"Sorry, sir, we can't disclose any details. Also, you need to come with us."
Roy's grip on Claire's arm tightened as he looked at the men warily. "What if I say no?"
"Then we'll have to take you by force, sir," replied the lead man, his tone calm yet firm.
Roy hesitated as his mind worked through the possibilities. These people didn't look like ordinary kidnappers, and their strength was evident from the way they carried themselves. He couldn't afford to take any chances, especially with Claire at his side.
Noticing Roy's hesitation, the leader added, "Sir, we're taking you to meet someone close to you. Please, don't make this difficult for us. If you resist, we'll have to use gas to render you unconscious and bring you anyway."
"Also, it might seem unbelievable, but we mean no harm," he added.
