He’s currently there

“So… you may not realize it, but you being hypnotized was kinda lucky for you, and not for me. When they swarmed us, you instantly obeyed their instructions, and they took that to mean you were ‘respecting’ them. And after a few minor orders they let you go. Myself though, I made the mistake of, um, not showing superiors proper respect. So they dragged me off to their base. That’s actually where I’m calling from.”

Oh shit. Yea you may have dodged a bullet, you don’t imagine he had an easy night being taken by those hoodlums.

“Wait, if you are there, how are you calling?”

He sighs, and explains his situation and what he needs.
