<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">~LOCATION: Dark Valley<br/>TIME: 14:05~</span></strong></div><br/>On the opposite side of the zone to the northeast of the swamps lay a small abandoned farmstead, some large run down house and two warehouses, along with a guard tower as well. The place was certainly abandoned looking...but it had some not so nice residents taking up there. A few renegade bandits whom would kidnap Stalkers in the Zone for profit, ransoming them back to their friends and family if they had any. And seems they found a jackpot, some young 'punk' whom was trying to sneak past the border gate around the Zone's southern edge. Kid didn't look no older than 22 or so, his hands tied behind his back with some rope, sitting up against the wall of one of the top floor rooms of the farmhouse. It seemed however that he was not alone, another one whom had been caught trying to enter the Zone somewhere else.<br/><br/>This one was wearing some red windbreaker jacket, a black long sleeve seen underneath, along with a pair of roughed out and torn camo cargo pants, some duct tape holding it together, and finally some brand new hiking boots. It was a surprise that those weren't taken from him as well. He however had a bit of a bruised up face, having been beaten for information moments before and brought back into this 'room' to cool off, hoping they could get what they wanted from him. His eyes scanned the room, seeing the other whom appeared to be unconscious, as he called out.<strong>"Hey, yo! You awake man? C'mon answer me man, you there?"</strong>he called out, hoping to get a response. At least there was no one else in the room for now, other than some boarded up window and the locked door they couldn't get out.
