Ethan woke up to a scream that shook him to his core. Even before his eyes flew open, he knew it belonged to Hanna. He shot up off the mattress, looking around the dark room frantically for her. He spotted her immediately.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaW7uFyjy8
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPcVpGERzN
One of the dealers, a man he hadn't met before, had brought her over to the other side of the room. She was lying on the floor, still nude, and he was standing above her. She looked weak and vulnerable but otherwise unhurt as far as he could see.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUmPyoZGh
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZXVwFp1W
Ethan noticed they'd put a collar on her and his anger flared. He went to go to her but he was forced to stop halfway as his leg was held back, his ankle was still chained to the wall. No matter what he did, no matter how much he pulled, he couldn't make it anywhere near them. The skin around his ankle had broken, despite Hanna's makeshift treatment.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTxqw2WiLU
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHayfrF5bp
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGGi58abnB
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ1jbYtfaX
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYXQHkfH5
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2XOg9fTTn
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc6bYfXBwt
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9ElMQ4HC
"Stop! Yes!" Ethan yelled, reacting immediately. Not like I can do anything else from over here, he thought grimly. He watched Hanna grit her teeth as she looked at the floor.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwBXBKIRH
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5xmvY90FX
"Here's what's going to happen. You're going to tell me what I want to know or she's going to get it lot worse," their captor explained with pleasure. "That little demo was nothing." He smirked at the two prisoners.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZtDkq4Tkc
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ758JSoCubP
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Sq3hDCc7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrEo4eYx2w
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUybvytVLEc
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVWPTwFONq
Ethan met Hanna's eyes, noticing them narrow at the comment. They were clear, determined. She's going to do something, he thought. Then the look was gone, replaced with fear that he suspected wasn't entirely true.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ejYUE2BT
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswsUhCAYpO
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT5outw115
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrqv5fFjWN
Ethan honestly had no idea where any other Charax were hiding on Earth, he'd said as much earlier. He doubted their new torturer was going to accept that answer. Ethan knew what was going to happen next but he was left with no other option. "I don't know," he gritted out in response.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq3G1ccZj7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgPlr3GXkh
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHuMQqpmhm
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupHDUzsErg
Ethan flinched at the sound. "Stop it!" Ethan yelled as he pulled on his shackled leg, ignoring the pain. The man didn't stop. He closed his eyes, trying to block the sound out as he was forced to listen to her screams a while longer.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ574szCGCHd
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFKNXQipcg
Ethan wished it was anyone but her there. Her voice was triggering something primal in him. He wanted to rip this man's throat out so badly. The feeling was so strong that he was having trouble thinking straight, let alone coming up with a plan to get out of here.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLdigpiZn8
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFH4sbTzi3
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkUjMBKSw4
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi97pbYI9Sw
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOsRvjClBi
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKX6lcMvlF
Ethan watched Hanna go still and silent once the collar stopped shocking her. Her long hair was covering her face so he couldn't see her expression. He hoped she was alright. He hoped she would be alright.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWd52qsaZu
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4QvYvt1FP
Hanna knew she needed to be patient. She knew the moment would come. She knew playing up the pain would make him drop his guard, now that his attention was on Ethan and not her, she had a chance.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o9foopPFr
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB4ufJAjLq
She shot up like a viper and hit the dealer in the face with all her strength. He dropped the remote as his hands flew to his face. She ignored the device and grabbed at the knife strapped to his thigh, pulling it free. His hands were covering his face but she was aiming for his throat.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvyTUWkhiV
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsrb90qmCh
Ethan watched across the room in shock the scene that was over in less than a minute. The man who'd been their captor a moment ago lay dead there on the floor, his throat cleanly slit with his own knife. His brain was failing to process how his coworker had killed someone nearly twice her size so easily.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTH9f3T0y7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLaH3GBbRi
Hanna, seeming unconcerned with the splatter of blood on her skin, went straight to searching the body. She quickly found the key ring and headed over towards Ethan. She let a tiny smile grace her lips, the only celebration she'd get for that small victory.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjjaPYEJDj
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aJvyvYnT8
As soon as she got close, Ethan grabbed at her, pulling her in. He looked over her naked body unabashedly, checking for new injuries. "Are you okay?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Z3HItRrb
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQGs9lV4vO
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBizfKMs96z
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyU5dYAVVw
Not entirely believing her, he checked her over himself. He moved her hair away from the collar to examine it. She had some burns on her neck. He let out a hiss of anger when he saw this.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVgHk7VqMo
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU18qhmxN8l
"Let it go," Hanna told him sternly. "No point in being angry at a dead man." She passed him the keys. It took him a while but he found the one for this collar. She heard a click then it fell to the floor.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2W2NhfcP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTcFLAQuCP
Now with the collar removed, Ethan was staring at the burns, which were starting to blister. He felt sick to his stomach. He needed to look away but couldn't at the same time.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJPougTES
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1VVdesusc
Noticing how still he was, Hanna gently pried the keys out of his hand. She went to work on the shackle. She went through the keys until she found the one that fit in the lock. A second later, his leg was free.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwwWYKKlJ
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t8IbkamZm
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1i7fVUbbH
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle4bSQQnIN
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ZBmt0QR7
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUepdM1A0Mk
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMZFHOwRJ1
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3NFWKxJeT
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyUVldxqev
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BTDZJJyo1
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5QukbLfsI
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAencx7gmbO
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAT8WkyCzG
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3rEaZsRQz
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."8964 copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0s3KKVAAa 維尼
