“… some things are more important than family,” the girl, Charlotte, said.
Hadn’t he been busy trying to make Rachel finish the damn amplifier, he would have argued. Because no, there was nothing more important than family. Nothing. As it was, he only spared a moment to pity Charlotte’s naivety. And maybe he envied her a little, envied the fact that she was still so idealistic.
Of course she proved herself wrong the next minute.
“Pick me!”
“Pick me, pick me, pick me,” he had begged God, the universe, anyone to take him instead of his family, instead of his little sisters. “Pick me, pick me, pick me…” How many times had he imagined himself in that car while his family was safely at home, how many times had he wished it would have been his vehicle that would have run upon a mine in the desert? Anything, anything but to be the one left to face the graves.So, after all, they were kindred hearts, willing to trade their lives for the lives of those they loved

Yes, a lot of options. But for some reason, the only thing I could think of was a discussion about the different James Bonds or bail bonds. My mind works in mysterious ways, sometimes.

Well, this prompt had a lot of options, one could also go for someone literally bound/imprisoned/tortured or for some D/s.
I'm glad you liked it.
