Sam Fisher- Flexicuffs

  It opened. A uniformed guard stepped out, shut the door behind him, and walked toward the nearest exit. Fisher made a snap decision. He drew the SC-20, flipped the selector to Cottonball, took aim, and fired. With a thwump, the projectile hit the guard in the thigh. He staggered sideways, swayed on his feet, and then fell over.

  Time for some answers, Fisher thought.

  To ensure their chat would be private, he lugged the guard's limp body up to the top level and laid him out on the floor beside Shek's footlocker/tomb. He bound the guard's hands and feet with flexi-cuffs, then sat down to wait.

  He'd used a thigh shot to dilute the tranquilizer. After twenty minutes, the guard started to come around. Fisher flipped on his headlamp and aimed it into the guard's eyes.
