“Are you awake yet darl'?"

The man stared down at you and tapped your cheek to make sure you were

You were tied to a chair gagged with a cloth...this wasn't neccesarily a great scenario

"You best be or I'll have to wake you up myself… truly I wouldn’t want to hurt you your first day here… but if push comes to shove, I don’t have a choice do I?"

He let his words sink in

"So...be a darl' and answer my questions easily”

He chuckled and pulled the cloth away from your mouth
