David felt as though someone had placed a large and heavy weight on each of his troubled temples.<br/>The last thing he remembered was dinner, it had been nice to have the whole family together for a proper meal, a way to reconnect after the troubling last few years. He'd had such a stressful few months thanks to the credit crunch and had really wanted to spend a nice romantic evening with his sexy wife after the kids were done with dinner, he'd even sprung for champaign. Now all that greeted his cursedly impaired senses was the sight of his family in positions he had never imagined.<br/><br/>It was one thing for him to see his wife naked, hell he'd even fantasised about tying her up once or twice, but seeing his little girls, even his son like this was heart rending for a family man.<br/><br/>He also realised that he too was naked, and his reasonable build was on full display to everyone, he just wished that he didn't have to display his well kept but still haired pubic region to the people he loved in a very non sexual way.<br/><br/>The restraints dug into his wrists and he wondered briefly if he could free himself, but finding his arms akin to overcooked pasta he settled for stoic determination. He was a prisoner of someone and clearly not someone who was just ransoming them.<br/><br/>He remembered what his uncle, retired Gunnery sergeant Malcolm Swanson had told him when he'd talked about being taken prisoner in Vietnam,<br/>"Davy my boy" he'd said "One thing you need to know about being a prisoner, never give them the satisfaction of hearing you speak, either with defiance or submission, Charlie liked it when we fought, made us easier to control, be as quiet as you can and pray to God your CO liked you."<br/>He felt self conscious about his humiliation in front of his family but he would be a good role model, even here he would show his son how a real man acts in a desperate situation.<br/><br/>His only hope was that he and his family could survive whatever the man who had just entered had planned, at least until rescue.
