^C7d PROLOGUE

^C00 The mercenary leader took a look around in the prison cell of the man he was supposed to observe; there was nothing peculiar - except a small teddy bear which stood out in an otherwise gruesome looking cell. The leader picked up the teddy bear and noticed a hole in the back of the bear. He revealed a knife to the prison guard, who didn't look surprised at all. 
^P
"Now we know how he survives in this hell hole."

A large buzz sounded, it was time for the prisoners to return to their cells. A big bald man, who was accompanied by two prison guards, walked towards the mercenary leader. The leader was quite a big figure himself, but even he was impressed by the physique of this man. He had observed the prison fights the big man was involved in - his vicious, beast-like way of fighting was certainly a sight to behold. The leader could use a man like that.
^P
"I want to speak to him... alone," said the leader. "I don't know if that's such a good idea," replied the prison guard but the leader insisted.

"We'll be around the corner."

The big bald man sat down while the leader started talking: "For a few days now I have observed you. I must say, your fighting skills are certainly impressive. Tell me, where did you learn to fight like that?" 
^P
There was am uncomfortably long silence until the bald man replied: "I have been in this prison since I was 8 years old. Had to pay for the deeds of my old man. I acquired my fighting skills in this prison. To survive I needed to adapt, to build myself up both physically and mentally. This prison is an unforgiving school, one mistake and you're done. 

"Luckily, I do not make mistakes." 
^P
"Impressive. I must say, you are very open to a stranger who obviously doesn't belong in this prison. Why is that?"

The bald man looked him in the eyes, then said: "The way I see it, you are here for a reason. I've been in here for almost 20 years, this is the first visit I got. You are here to make me some kind of offer, my guess is it's a way out of here. Which I could use, I have nothing to gain here."

The leader was impressed again. It's rare that you meet someone with both the brains and the brawn for the job.
^P
"You are right, I am here to make you an offer. I want you to be part of my team of mercenaries. We could use some new blood and you look like the right man for the job."

"You can count me in."
