Hooked

The guard was just on the precipice of falling asleep when the hook landed on his chest, catching the leather strap holding the keys, the subsequent tugs waking him up.

The guard sighed and stood up, yanking the thin rope from the prisoner's hands as he stood up and strode over to the cage.

"Really? You think that old trick will do anything but get you another few months added to your sentence?"

The prisoner shrugged.

"I just wanted to distract you."

The guard spun around, looking for a threat, before the prisoner hooked his eyes with his hidden blades.
