A calm, flat voice behind me said, “Good evening, Doctor Conrad.” I turned to look for the speaker, but saw the same gray walls.
“I must ask you not to cry out. We’d prefer not to punish you further. In any case, no one can hear you.” The sound seemed to originate from the device clamped around my neck.
“Who are you?” I tried to control my shaking. “Why have you brought me here?”
“If you cooperate, you will not be harmed,” he said.
“Why should I believe you?” I asked.
“You may believe whatever you choose,” said the voice.
