The first thing that came to Ralph mind when he woke up was, damp. A small port hole was the only thing letting light into his cramped cabin. It had a bed, a small table a chair , a clock and a small toilet in the corner.It had been three days since their rescue. But still the hunt haunted his dreams.

He wore the same stupid outfit that Ralph was wearing. They stood in silence.

"The Latvians eh? Didn't see that coming."
They continued to talk for a while. Sporadic laughter came up every now and then.
They seemed to be having a good time.
