Chapter 1:
It was a clear, starry night. The water had felt so calm and pleasant and the view underwater was magnificent with the various kinds of fish swimming around. Vivian Liu was enjoying a night dive as she had just earned 2 weeks of vacation for herself.
“Ahh, it’s nice to be on vacation,†she thought to herself.
Swimming up to the surface, Vivian placed her goggles above her eyes on her forehead and made her way over to her boat. She was clad in typical scuba gear; a black wetsuit, oxygen tank, pink flippers, a weight belt and a pair of goggles. Once she got to the boat, she removed her flippers and climbed up the ladder onto the deck.
“Tom? Tom? Where are you?†she yelled out, wondering where her companion was. He was supposed to be manning the boat while she was diving. “He better not be drinking downstairs,†she muttered under her breath as she also shed her oxygen tank and weight belt. She then made her way to the cabin downstairs, leaving wet footprints behind her path. Once she got downstairs, she was alarmed to find her companion being trussed up by two Asian women, all clad in black ninja uniforms. Tom’s hands had been tied behind his back and one of the women was finishing tying his feet together. He also appeared to be unconscious.
“What are you doing? Who are you people?†Vivian exclaimed.
The woman who was finishing the tying said something in Japanese, as if instructing the other one. The other woman quickly took up a fighting stance and began to engage Vivian.
“Ok…you want a piece of me? Come get some!†Vivian said, and took up a counter stance to her opponent.
The ninja-clad woman made the first move, attempting to land a blow against Vivian. But Vivian, trained well from her colleagues at S.A.G.E., was able to block her punches and landed an open palm strike to the woman’s chest.
Enraged, the ninja landed a front kick to Vivian’s stomach, causing her to fall backwards onto the stairs.
“There’s not enough room down here…got to get upstairs,†she through to herself. She quickly bounded up the stairs with her attacker in pursuit.
The ninja continued her assault on Vivian, with an assortment of punches and kicks. Although she was able to block most of them, she caught a kick to the side of her body followed by a roundhouse kick to her face, knocking her to the ground. When she recovered and looked up, she found that the other woman from downstairs had come up and was pointing a stun gun at her. Knowing she was beaten, she raised her hands in surrender.
“What do you want from me?†she said, but got no immediate response. The woman holding the gun shouted a command to her companion in Japanese. “Don’t you guys speak any English?
This time, she did get a response. “Yes, we do. We were ordered to bring you to our leader,†the woman holding the gun replied, with a slight Japanese accent. Her accomplice returned holding a bunch of ropes in her hand. “Tie her up,†she said.
The other woman went over to Vivian and crossed her wrists behind her back. She then began to tightly wrap the ropes around Vivian’s wrists, first horizontally and then vertically to further secure them in place.
“What does your leader want with me? Ow!†she winced, as the woman pulled the ropes tightly before tying the knot out of reach, causing Vivian to clench her fists slightly. She tested her bonds and found them to be tied quite tightly.
“Our leader has her reasons,†the woman with the gun replied. “Now, tie her feet together.â€
The other woman had Vivian sit down and place her legs out in front of her. She tied her feet in a similar way as her hands, first tying the rope horizontally over her feet and then vertically over the horizontal loops before tying the knot off. She then tugged on the knot securing her ankle bindings and further inspected Vivian’s wrist bindings again just to make sure there was no chance of escape. She gave a nod of approval to her superior.
The woman holding the gun then pulled out a radio communicator from her belt.
“The prisoner’s secure. Send the helicopter over,†she said in Japanese.
“So much for my vacation…†Vivian thought to herself as she reflected on her predicament.
To be continued...
