Chapter 3
The four guards all saluted to Jax, and one of them then grabbed James by his hands and tied them together with a rope. Another one grabbed Tom by his hands and dragged him about 100 feet to the chariot – where the others escorted James. Two of the guards then lifted Tom into the chariot and seated him down – one of them stayed with him and the other then climbed to the front to manage the horses. The other two guards climbed in the back of the chariot, facing backwards, to overlook James and make sure he doesn't try and do anything stupid.
“Think, James, think,” James kept telling himself, but with two guards eyeing him constantly and his son inside the chariot with another guard, he couldn’t think of any way to break them both free.
They travelled like this, slowly and in complete silence, for about half an hour when Tom started regaining consciousness.
“What… Where…” His vision was still an absolute blur, but when he was able to somewhat focus his sight he was immediately greeted by a revolver pointing straight at him. “Okay, okay, no need to be upset,” Tom raised his hands up in more of a joking fashion than actually being serious. “I mean, Jesus! I just woke up.” He joked again and when he lowered his hands he subtly touched his gun holster with his right hand and realized he was robbed of his beloved revolver.
