They asked if I had fillings, and I confessed that I did. They looked again. "No, you don't," one of them corrected me, having failed to find any glint of silver. My fillings are white. The men, wearing dark civilian clothes and balaclavas, seemed convinced that these unfamiliar fillings posed a threat to their operational security. That's when I knew that my kidnapping was going to be a little bit different.
