I put up a valiant fight. Wait, who am I kidding, they beat me hands down. Anyway, I was knocked out.
I awoke on a plane. Across from me were the two thugs and one said, “Oh, so he is finally awake.”
“Good morning, sleepy head,” the other said.
“Where am I?” I asked.
“You’re on your way to the island of no return.” Thug #1 stated.
“Where?”
“You were getting too close to finding us out.” Thug #2 said. “You must be terminated.”
“Ah, here we are now.” Thug #1 said. The plane landed, and I found that I was handcuffed. They escorted me out of the plane, and over to a grand and glorious mansion. It almost looked like it was a hotel. There was a pool, sauna, and tennis court. If I wasn’t handcuffed I could swear that I was at a world class resort.
Once inside, I was taken to a room with a huge glass window, and seated at one end of the table. “Leave us.” A voice said. The two thugs left and a chair turned around revealing a man in it. “Hello, Mr. Schofield.”
“I’m sorry sir; I don’t believe we have met.”
“True, but you know my secretaries.”
“Your secretaries?”
“Yes, you see, I am the founder of Nano Building and Loan.”
“And your name is?”
“My name’s not important, but you may call me ’sir,’ if you want.”
“Okay, sir, just what do you intend to do with me?”
“Nothing.” Just then the door opened, and a cute, bikini clad lady walked in with a tray. “Thank you, Dora.”
“You’re welcome, sir.” She said, leaving.
“As you see, everyone adores me.”
“Or they were made to adore you.”
“Ah, you are a clever person. You probably have my whole operation figure out by now, haven’t you?”
“Why, I don’t know what you mean.” I said, mockingly.
“We both know why you’re here.”
“Do we? I certainly don’t.”
“Isn’t it obvious? I take my secretaries, brainwash them, and then. . .well, that’s not important, right now.”
“Oh, so it is brainwashing!”
“You really didn’t have a clue, did you? And you call yourself a detective. Why, Maxwell Smart could’ve figured it out by now.”
“All I want is my girlfriend.”
“Ah, foolish love. You really don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, do you?”
“I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.”
“So you shall.” He pressed on a pad, and a door opened. In came Tracy, dressed in a bikini. “Is this your girl?” He asked.
