Striker captured you as a hostage to get money from I.M.P., a business you work at. You were tied up and tied to a rock in his lair. You kept screaming for help (obviously) so he put a rag in your mouth. That didn't stop you from making noise though, next thing you know, there's a knife right at your chin.

"I'd shut that mouth of yours before I slice your throat open, and we wouldn't want that, would we?" his voice was low, almost growly as he spoke.
