The car is speeding over the highway, lit by the reddish light of the late summer afternoon. Besides Max sits the old man, Chinese probably. He had looked quite friendly, and yet this is where he was stuck now: sitting in an unknown car with an unknown man, paralysed from the neck down. His sharp mind went over the event of the last few minutes, trying to piece everything together.He had been to the research facility out of town and had been driving back home to his father's condo. After about ten minutes, his car's engine had broken down and he had pulled over. Despite his way with all things mechanical, Max hadn't been able to even locate the problem. Everything should have been working just fine. He was just about to make a call and have things taken care of, when an old man with graying hair had pulled up his car alongside Max'. From his looks and heavy accent, he appeared to be chinese. He had offered to give Max a ride, which had seemed quite reasonable at that time.Max distinctly remembers locking his car and getting into the old man's car, ready to make some calls and have his car picked up. The man at the wheel made some strange gesture with his hand, and Max had held out his hand to shake it and introduce himself. All of a sudden, the gray old man had lunged for his shoulder and pinched his neck. Max still doesn't know what had happened, but it had caused him to lose all control over his body. About all he could do was breathe, turn his head and speak. Except that he had been quite speechless by the entire situation, dumb-struck by what had happened.Max is taken out of his memories as the old man begins to speak, slow and gentile. "Please relax, Mister Cogswell. I as deeply sorry to have to do this to you, the feeling must not be very comfortable to you. However, I assure you that I mean you no harm. I have some things to tell and show you, which are very important. I hope that you will give me the opportunity to do so..."OoC: Max</blockquote>
