My own men turned against me, LF. We were sent to scout an enemy encampment hidden in a complex of caves on the Pakistan border. Myself and a small squad of about four men. The caves were dark and quiet, but someone had strung up a series of 40 watt bulbs so that vision was at least minimal. We could see maybe ten yards ahead at best, and even that was if you squinted just right.
No enemy contact.
Finally we reach the end of the lights. Solid steel doors. Looked to be about six inches thick. I had the Demo Man rig up a little bit of plastique on the door. Just enough to blow 'er off the hinges and create a little confusion.
Demo hands me the detonator. I order everyone back a few paces and in a ready position.
*click*
Nothing.
*click*
Again. Nothing.
I turned to Demo to ask him to check his rig. M-16s pointed right in my face. Four cold stares.
"Drop your weapon, sir."
Someone clicks on a radio. "Target is secured."
The doors open. A Faceless Man stands before me. Faceless except for a grin that would make Death shit his pants in fear.
I'm lead into the room. My men take up guard positions around me. The Faceless Man points to a chair. I sit and am bound to the chair. Hands behind my back.
Punch. Punch. Punch. My face bloodied. His relentless assault lasted for at least ten hours. He didn't even take a break, let alone break a sweat.
I finally passed out after the thousandth or so blow.
Woke up. Still bound to the chair. He is sitting in a chair, looking at me. That god damn grin. I want to clean it off his face. So smug. So sure of himself. He knows he has won.
When he finally speaks his voice is like frozen venom. "You should know better by now," he wheezes, "than to meddle in affairs you know nothing about." His laugh is like a thousand red hot pokers in my skull.
And then I'm alone. Locked in a room. My own men turned against me.
