Okay, I haven't been posting for a while. I was abducted by the pirates hours ago, while returning home from the park I was knocked unconscious I heard a clear gun shot, which I can only assume was the shot fired at Smitty, before blacking out again. I woke up a second time to the sound of Doctor Phibes and a pirate talking in another room. I was conscious but stayed still out of fear someone would realize I was awake. I couldn't see because I had a bag over my head, and duct tape handcuffs.
What I heard was basically the same thing Phibes revealed to you guys. A deal to exchange a coin for other prisoners they had captured. I assumed there were probably more people on board like myself but found that to be false.
Eventually I heard another boat start up, that was when Phibes and Laugher were leaving. I took this as a chance to escape too but my route was cut off, and they pretty much dragged me back to the room. Then we left again, since now they knew I was awake I was questioned about the coin and asked if I had any objects like it, I was asked specifically "If I knew the significance of it." I had no clue what they were talking about and calmly let them know.
Later they left the room to get Smitty ready to leave the boat and we reached still water. I took this as another chance to escape and this time I succeed. I cut the tape jumped over board into the water and swam to shore not long after they would actually reach shore and let Smitty go.
Since getting into town I've been afraid to move around much. I realized my radio was gone too so I've been very slowly making my way back to my house trying to stay out of sight from anyone until I got my radio.
I've become pretty paranoid because of the incident since I haven't seen my captors, and in my mind the could be any of the people in town. But I do still trust Smitty so yeah I'd like protective custody if that is possible.
