A rock and a hard place

Lara awakens in a warehouse, and finds that she is hanging upside down, her feet bound to the ceiling by rope. Her wrists are also bound behind her with rope, and she is still very much naked.

“She wakes!” One of the thugs says gleefully.

“Now then miss Croft,” the 2nd thug begins, “As you’re now our prisoner, you are going to help lead us to the lamp of the Manhattan genie. If we get the lamp, then we will release you and give you clothes. If you refuse, we will leave you tied up by the Statue of Liberty for all the tourists to see. What do you say?”

Lara struggles and squirms, attempting to free herself from her bonds. It has little effect, except making her breasts and buttocks jiggle. She is clearly at the mercy of these two and it is obvious that she has little bargaining power unless she agrees to cooperate with them.

With a resigned sigh, she answers the woman.

"You... have my word. I will work with you to find the lamp."

Excellent!” Lara is cut down from the ceiling and placed back on her feet.

“The rope on your hands will stay on however. We know all about your fighting expertise. Can’t make things to easy now, can we?”
