    I wish they had kidnapped his agent instead and chopped his fingers

    Would being in the custody of kidnappers be classed as working time? And if so, would they sign timesheets. Maybe that's why he got the chop. He asked for them to sign. A good contractor always gets his timesheets signed no matter what. At least there would be no expenses - until now. There'll be repatriation and funeral costs.
    I'd invoke my substitution clause.

    Well, look on the bright side, contractor rates there will be going up, up, up!
