Somewhere Between Nervous and Curious

I know in the back of my mind that this place is familiar to me, but I cannot recall with precision where it is that I am. I am lying on my back, and cannot move my arms or legs, they seem to be frozen, or super glued to the plastic surface of the desk/table. My neck will not move left or right and all I can do is strain my eyes by trying to see anything that would trigger my memory to relieve me of this mystery. The room is dark, and dripping wet. Water is dripping from the ceiling, cupboards, and tables but not on me. I am alone in the room but i can hear Cebo talking to someone in a computer language (something like the martians from Tim Burton's Mars Attacks, but less annoying, maybe a little more like George Lukas' R2D2). I have no idea how I understand him, but I know he is saying something about computers and someone close by having a company that sells them. Then all i heard was lots of moving tables around and then someone interrogating me about my sinus'. I didn't know what they were saying expect they repeated sinus, why is your throat sore and why is your nose running? I could only muster up the strenth and courage to mumble something at the armed guards dressed in suits. I blink and they are gone and Cebo tells me I just woke up from far away place. That he doesn't think it's good to go home and that we have to get "back to the family, a radical emergency". Part of me understood everything he was saying, but a different part of me did not know how to locate that part of my brain and digest what was being encoded. I could not retrieve the information even though I had just heard it seconds before. This thought tortured me until we went to Cebo's house and got my school bag I forgot the night before. There was a ship coming, you could hear it from far away.
