Not so funny games (part 1)

It was another quiet evening near a local sports field in a small American town. The sun haven’t been set yet, but the sky already started changing its colours to vanilla pink. Two adult men dressed in formal black suits were sitting in a black cadillac escalade parked behind the stadium field. Only a mesh fence separated them from the field, so they could look at the runners who had training a race on the field.

Jerry

(After a long yawn)

He got the first place again. What do you think?

Tom

I agree, there no need to check him anymore.

Jerry

Let’s move closer to his house then. The training will end soon.

Tom

Alright, hope you prepared better this time.

Jerry

I did, by the way I found a new good approach. It should be funny as hell.

  David was very tired after his trainings. He almost fell asleep, but the bus stopped just in time. A 10 minute walk from the bus station to his house and he is back at home. Soon after he left the buss he was approached by a tall men.

Jerry

(Showing his documents)

Hello David. My name is Jerry, I am an FBI officer. I wanted to ask you some questions about your father Mitch, if you wouldn’t mind.

David

(With a confusion in his voice)

About my father? I don’t understand to be honest. But he should be at home now. I can show you the way.

Jerry

Yeah, of course I know where your father is. But for now I really need to talk with you David. I will speak to your dad later.

David

Okay… what it’s all about?

Jerry

(pointing his hand to the nearby car)

I need to show you some photos and record our conversation. Please, follow me.

Not so funny games (part 4)

Four tall guys accompanied David through long corridors tightly filled with doors in a complete silence. David was surrounded by grey concrete walls, handcuffs on his hands. Corridors were separated by each other by additional locking doors. There was no way to escape. Soon they reached elevator and went up. Surroundings changed dramatically. The same building, but now it reminded more of a luxurious hotel. Another 2 minutes’ walk through the building and the group entered a room with couple of sofas and a tea table in the centre. Guards let David in and left the room. A middle aged men dressed in a dark blue official costume and wide sunglasses sits on one of the sofas.

  Mark (Smiling a bit and pointing at the sofa next to him)

Hello, David. I’m happy to see you! My name is Mark. Have a sit, please.

 David (sitting on the sofa)

Mark, I hope you will hear me out and let me leave. I don’t know what is happening here or who you guys are, but I really want to leave this place. You can call my parents, they will pay money, I am sure they have enough for you.

 Mark

Wait, David, you are not listening. Let me explain. There will be a competition soon. And it is really, really important.

 David

But I don’t want to participate. What if I refuse?

 Mark

Not listening again. I need you to focus. I chose you to be my representative. Not all of the runners are going to be that lucky. Your win is my win also.

 David But still what will happen if I refuse?

 Mark

You will know soon. I can’t explain it right now. It will be revealed to all participants just before the competition begins. But you should know that these people won’t be friendly towards you, so don’t do stupid things. Don’t try to escape either. It’s not just this building. The area around it is heavily guarded as well.

 David (nervously)

I need to know if my life is in danger. Is there a chance I can get killed?

Mark (after a 3 seconds pause)

Well, of course there are some risks, but nothing special. If you do good, you won’t die, I promise.

Not so funny games (part 3)

David was laying on the concrete floor in a tiny grey room with only one window protected by a metal cell, when he finally started waking up. Even though his eyes were opened his body wasn't moving. Only small cramps in his arms and legs were visible from time to time. This scene lasted for about an hour when David's first attempt to rise on his feet began. The whole body was shaking. He couldn't stay on his feet for long and quickly fell down. In a panic attack he wanted to scream as loud as he could, but only a faint distorted noise came out of his mouth. Weakened after the last attempt, David sat down on the floor, hugging his knees with his arms. Tears appeared on his face.

Indeed David was not a kid, soon he is going to be 23 years old. He was a young men, strong as any other athlete. He is one of the fastest runners in his state, a proud winner. But does it really mean anything when somebody imprisoned you in the middle of nowhere? David does not remember it, but somebody dressed him in a runner’s uniform. Number 58 was written on his back and chest. An electric bracelet with a strange black device was attached to his leg.

David spent not more than couple of hours in his cage, when he finally heard some steps. The door opened. A tall men in a black costume was staying next to David, three other armed guys were visible from behind.  

David (screaming)

I want to leave this place. I will pay you.

Men in costume (interrupting David)

Please calm down, nothing bad is going to happen. We just...

David (screams almost instantly again)

It’s already happening, don’t you see it! I don’t want to stay here, can’t hold me here like that.

Men in costume

David, we chose you to participate in our competition. You will know everything soon. It’s just a funny game. Now please stand up and go with me. Don’t make us wait..

Not so funny games (part 2)

In a rush and with lots of questions inside his head, David followed Tom to the car. One minute later David is already on a back seat of a huge black cadillac escalade. Jerry is on a driving seat. The inside look of this car was a bit odd for David. He had just couple of seconds to realise it, but he found himself separated from Jerry by a piece of transparent plastic or some sort of glass. Interior looked more luxurious than it should be for the car used by some FBI agent. The back windows had privacy glass installed hiding everything what is happening inside. The lightning was with a calm pinkish filter. It would be very comfortable to sit here in a leather seat while having a ride, but circumstances could not stop David from being nervous. Then suddenly Jerry started the car.

David

Wait, I thought we were supposed to have a talk in the car. Where are we going?

 Jerry

I’m afraid we need to visit a police station.

 David

Why for? I don’t think you can do something like that without a clear reason.

 Jerry

We almost arrived, just be patient.

 David (anxiously)

Where is this police station?

 At this point they almost left David’s town. Less and less houses appearing behind the window. But Jerry remained silent now.

 David

I don’t get it. There is no police station at this way!

 David started panicking almost as he realises now what a fatal mistake he did. David stopped talking and began looking around. But the more he looked around the more strange things he began to notice. Even though the car looked new, there were lots of scratches on the seats and doors. The glass separating David and Jerry had scratches as well. The bottom part of a seat in front of David was damaged also.

It was the last traffic light in this small town before they would leave it, when cadillac finally stopped. Red light! David quickly tried to open the door, but it was closed. Hardly noticeable smile appeared on Jerry’s face. The car started speeding up as they finally left the town.

 Jerry

It’s not funny, you damn pig. Can you already do it!?

 David (in a total fear and panicking)

What? Do what? I can do whatever you ask if you let me out!

 Jerry wasn’t answering. He definitely was nervous while waiting for something.

 Jerry

Ill stop the car if you won’t do it right now!

 Jerry immediately opened his mouth to say something in response but at the same time two muscular hands appeared from behind. Tom quickly put a plastic bag with some white powder inside on David’s head and then did a neck lock with his arms choking David.

 Jerry

You are such an idiot. Why couldn’t do it earlier?

 Tom (chocking David)

Calm down freak, it was funny. You looked so stupid, mr. officer!

 Jerry

Is he still here?

 Tom

Yeah, this one is tough, still moving a bit.

The last thing that David heard was Jerry turning radio on. A  hilarious country song started to play “The Devil Went Down To Georgia”.
