Sam tied up John and knew he had him right where he wanted and he had no plans on rushing it even though he had a limited timeframe to work with.
He knew that people were coming but he didn't know when or how they would come.
John had asked him what he wanted but Sam didn't give him much of a response.
John. for the first time, looked genuinely worried as he understood why Max lost to this man before him.
He was blindfolded and gagged, being in the military meant he had a knack for torturing.
Sam took out a dagger and John waited in anguish for Sam to act out whatever depraved thing he had on his mind.
He jumped the moment the sharp knife made contact with his skin, the tip wasn't pushed into his skin but instead, Sam ran it gently on top.
John found his heart racing, he tried to speak but couldn't, this told him that Sam intended to intimidate or possibly torture him before questioning him.
