An unexpected entrance

Alex knew he had come to the right place when he heard his name called.

He just didn't recognise one of the two people who had shouted his name in shock.

A frown was sent across his face instead of the relief and happiness he was expecting to feel when he found Mira.

The moment he landed, he scanned the cave's vicinity and didn't like what he saw one bit.

There was a flat slab of stone with some sort of rope bindings attached to it, and the cave was barely big enough to house 10 people all standing side by side, let alone big enough for two people to have a fight!

But worst of all, he saw the rope bindings around Mira's wrists and ankles, and his frown turned into a sort of rage.

It was clear to him what was going on in here.

"I don't know who you are, but don't expect to make it out of this cave alive!"

He called out to the unknown third person in the cave, his voice laced with a predatory tone.
