Wallace opened his eyes to stare in wonderment at two pairs of bound legs in his proximity. It took him a full minute to realise that the nearer pair was his own, and that his hands were similarly bound behind his back. Those facing him belonged to Conrad, whose face he could see as a whitish splodge in the gloom. There was another pair of legs mixed up with the mass of human extremities, and, tracing these upwards with his eyes, he saw they supported a big, muscular body, above which was a face which he had seen before.
His head throbbed so painfully that it was difficult to sort out the incidents of the immediate past. Conrad recovered consciousness while he was engaged in this attempt, and sat blinking at him like a bewildered owl. Things became clearer after a while. He recognised the other occupant of the car as the man who had doped him -- Walther unquestionably.
