Mia slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment. It was dark, old and dingy, reeking of sewer. "Gosh", she scrunched up her nose.

"Bollocks!" she howled. An irritating, burning sensation on her wrists brought her attention to her hands which were tied to the chair. "Seriously! That's all you got." she scorned.

"Yahhh! You stupid lady!" Kevin yelled furiously at her. "You want the necklace? Take it. But leave them alone. They have nothing to do with anything" he signaled towards his friends who were all unconscious and tied to different chairs.
