arrested, or whatever the hell this is?'
    She simply shook her head.
    'You can't rip me out from my home and not let me contact anyone,' I said, almost pleading.
    'I'm sorry. Not at this time,' she said calmly.
    'Who the hell are you? Police, CIA, MI5 or what?' I asked, but she turned away from me. I went to stand up.
    'Mr Garret, please sit down or I will have you restrained,' she said without turning to look at me. The man, standing at the kitchen door had a look that told me I should probably comply.
    'Thank you,' she said when I sat down – still with her back to me. I took another gulp of my glass of water.
    Nowhere
    A different type of grogginess came over me quite slowly, and when the man took the glass from my hand, I looked up at him and I realised then that it was the water. The only comparison I had to the feeling that was enveloping me was when I'd had my appendix removed. The pre-med injection they gave me before my operation induced the same, 'I really couldn't give a fuck about anything' type of feeling. Visions of a dark, heavy set male nurse dry shaving my nether regions popped into my head, then out again, as I saw three men appear from nowhere on my right. As had happened before my appendix were chopped out, my brain lost its capacity to function logically and my ears and eyes were merging, mixing and confusing everything that was happening around me.
    'Get him ready,' someone said.
    'Are you sure it's him?' another voice asked.
    'It's been a long day here too,' I heard and thought it was the woman speaking but as I looked around, I couldn't see her. Something green flashed on my left and as I turned my head, I suddenly couldn't decide if I was sitting or standing.
    'The car's here.'
    'What time?'
    'Altenrhein, three-twenty.'
    'Have we got clearance yet?'
    'Approved.'
    'Destination.'
    'Classified.'
    Pieces of the conversation around me echoed in my head but made no sense. I looked down at my knees and decided that I was sitting, but my internal organs weren't, as they were extremely busy rearranging themselves once again.
    'Ok, up you get,' I heard as my shoulders levitated. Two blurred faces, too close for my eyes to focus on, breathing on me as my legs turned to jelly and I felt my feet dragging. The green flash appeared again; then enveloped me and my arms felt like they had suddenly disappeared. The floor below my feet disappeared next as the breathing near my face intensified. I saw a door with darkness on the other side and some movement in front of me. My feet started bouncing on something over and over again until finally my dulled brain concluded they were hitting steps on my way down a staircase. All I knew was that it was black as I was bundled into a car and seat belted, and then the heavy breathing on either side of me returning after the loud clunk of closing doors. I tried to think about Helen and how worried she might be when she got back, but my brain wouldn't function properly, as the heavy set male nurse returned to my mind and continued dry shaving my pubic hair.
    I could only hear silence above the hum of the car engine and tyre noise on the road, yet had a sensation of speed as I willed my eyes to work, which they still refused to do. I tried to say something but my mouth was on strike along with my eyes, so I gave up and just let the nurse continue shaving me. It could've been a few minutes or a few days I was so confused, but I did realise the car had stopped and that the breathing on either side of me had moved, shortly after I heard the click of the release of my seat belt. My body moved somewhere; then along and upwards before I heard another click of a seat belt. In front of me was a white blur with specks of brown splashed here and there.
    'Everything's cleared. Have a good flight and see you again,' I heard a voice say.
    'Yeah. Thanks for all your cooperation on this one.'
    'He should be ok for another couple of hours.'
    'We'll look after him once he comes around.'
    I saw
