Oops, cough cough… laughs out loud! It’s always the creativity for me—like, how did we even land on this topic? 😅
But then again, it's not entirely strange to imagine being kidnapped in this sad world of ours and sadly, it doesn't always end well. Unlike the reality, I've been handed over "a get out of jail free card” to call someone to be my saviour, I guess I have to make the best of decisions since my life is at risk hehehe.
Maybe it's just my personal opinion but I've never been a fan of using force to handle cases of kidnapping especially if you want it to end well and that's why I will be calling someone I have big trust in that will get me out even without a single act of coercion. It's not that I underestimate the likes of Superman nor Batman nor John Wick even, but what if in their violent nature of dealing with the kidnappers, I become a collateral damage?
Hence, considering not only the rescue itself but the process, strategy, and emotional depth behind it, there is only one person I would call....I'm guessing the movie lovers already know who that is but let me save you the stress, it's no other than Michael Scofield from Prison break (need me not remind you nor walk you done the memory lane of what he did in prison break)
Michael Scofield isn't your typical action-packed saviour neither is he a superman with some superhero skills, he's a cold-blooded strategist walking on intellects, not to even talk of the determination and strong will. He is someone who has depicted to the willingness to go any length just for the sake of extraction.
If you have watched prison break, you must believe with me that Michael Scofield isn't someone that just enters the room simply because the doors and windows are open! He is someone who makes calculated steps even with clear pointers that everywhere is safe... He's always two steps ahead of the enemy with his plans mapped out perfectly, or near perfectly since perfection is a mirage, hehe.
It's never going to be easy extracting someone from kidnappers, so if there's any virtue I'll be looking out for in my said saviour asides the ability, I think it's Loyalty! Michael Scofield is someone who doesn't run short of that. In Prison break, we saw clearly how he gave his all just to extract his brother and friends countless times. He don't just rescue people for convenience, he gives his ALL! Someone like Michael who knows the worth of family, someone who believes that everything and anything should be sacrificed for his loved one is someone I really would want leading my rescue team, someone who wouldn't see rescuing me as just a mission but rather as a personal assignment and would stop at nothing to get me out regardless of the obstacles he encounter.
Never forget, Michael Scofield isn't a lone wolf. He comes as a lone wolf but quickly turns lots of persons to his side. For a successful extraction, you definitely need the numbers by your side, not that you need tens of people but even if you have 2 persons who sare loyal to you, you are already at advantage. He certainly knows how to leverage on people's strength... I won't be surprised if he turns on of the kidnapping crew to his ally
Hence, while others might go for sheer force personalities (superheroes, cold-blooded gub-slinging vigilantes), I will stick with Michael Scofield because In a situation where my life hangs in the balance, his qualities are definitely what I need the most.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day ahead 👍
