Ethan felt his senses returning to him slowly, his mind incredibly muddled. He eventually managed to open his eyes but his vision was blurry and it made him dizzy. Moving, even slightly, felt like an insurmountable task. He closed his eyes again, waiting for the world to stop spinning.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYhGi1D3Ri
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aM0UKOaK5
He knew he was sitting down. He could feel bindings around his ankles and wrists and concluded that he was tied to a chair. His right elbow was tied securely as well, probably to the arm of said chair. The restraints were uncomfortably tight but he couldn't feel any significant pain in his body. He could feel the air on his chest, so they'd taken his shirt too, and the rough concrete floor under his bare feet.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2yPQbNsF2
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd3JBCs2wj
Ethan felt a stab of pain rush up his right arm and he cracked opened his eyes, immediately noticing a man fiddling with something on his right arm. His view was blocked but he could guess what the man was up to. They're black market dealers, he thought as a weight dropped in his stomach.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Bv6k1C74
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdqNoAu9Kh
Ethan looked at the dealer, who hadn't noticed he was awake, and tried to force his eyes to focus properly. The man looked to be in his forties and was wearing large rim glasses. He had a large build and was dressed all in black. Despite the man's age, Ethan didn't fancy his odds in a fair fight against his captor.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU1IAQR7L1
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKXejKJ4sr
Ethan's gaze wandered, his vision still adjusting. He noticed the number eighteen was written on the back of his left hand. The black numbers stood out against his paler than usual skin. So they've caught seventeen Charax before me, he thought grimly, and I get to be lucky number eighteen.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpnZdl3W7
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEvthU57cf
Ethan saw the man disconnect the full bag of blood then continue working on his arm. Now that he'd moved, Ethan could see the needle embedded in his forearm. He'd already been feeling terrible but now he had to fight down bile as his body reacted to the foreign object. Needles usually made him feel a bit nauseous but this was worst than usual, the reaction combining with the drugs still in his system. He shut his eyes suddenly, taking a deep breaths to calm himself.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmrGw9XZx
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJOUPIrM54
Ethan opened his eyes again to take in his surroundings, trying really hard not to look at the needle. Not to think about it. Just the idea of it was making him nauseous. Trying to distract himself, his gaze fell to the floor and onto the dark splotches on the dirty concrete. Probably blood from a previous occupant. A lot of blood. His stomach churned. He looked away.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGpkOwJnr
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7NeIv9SvP
He only now noticed there was a woman with olive skin and very unnatural looking platinum blond hair standing a few feet away. She was sitting on the edge of a table that was scattered with medical supplies.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzcXn7i6xX
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUztIcVC9RU
The red plastic bags on the table caught his eye. Blood. His blood. He guessed these were black market dealers. Probably going to claim his blood had some sort of miraculous healing properties as they sold it off to the highest bidder.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm6pcbU4SG
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmSpBsm4Ep
He tried to stay positive, if they wanted a blood bank then his chances of staying alive went up. The longer I'm alive, the longer I have to escape, he thought hopefully. He saw the man had attached an IV to his arm and hung a bag of clear fluid above his head.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmNGXDa8XF
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILbPKI05i1
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82dpalcRGk
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Iex1Hkev
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VvL84j4bU
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbH9bglsyO
Ethan felt a little more aware now, as if whatever they'd given him was wearing off. He found he could move, even if it felt like his muscles were made of spaghetti. He shifted in his restraints slightly to discover they were as tight as they felt. His male captor ignored the his motion and moved behind him, out of his field of view.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6S4jZh7GZ
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSWIhxB8pr
"Where am I?" Ethan mumbled to no one in particular, looking around the room for an exit. No windows, but there was a wooden door in the corner behind him. It looked old and fragile, the paint was peeling off it just like on the walls.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwwtziEWMk
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG6A545llt
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBgM4XNb7
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja4Q4SM4lL
Ethan made note of the name, the woman must be Josephine. He watched nervously as she approached, preparing to fight off the urges of the heat that would surely come. She wasted no time grabbing hold of his jaw and pushing his head back against the metal back of the chair so he couldn't move it. He could feel her fingers digging in.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV08joOlLu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO8kGVMvlp
To his relief, he didn't immediately break down and beg her to fuck him. The sensation of her skin on his sent tingles across his face and down his neck but... that seemed to be all. He didn't get hard. His mind didn't go blank. He was still there, mostly. He noticed his mind was... foggy but that may have been the drug.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx6rXtHYVY
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Rofg5GbL
Ethan was utterly surprised by how his body was reacting. He had thought any woman touching him in this state would have been unbearable, sending the heat symptoms into overdrive, but that wasn't exactly what was happening. He felt arousal growing at the back of his mind, but it was still containable, still controllable. He fought the urges his body was producing, urges excited by the touch of her skin.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziE3uInlFf
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq31qQWhHf
He wasn't sure why this was happening. Perhaps the drugs they had used to knock him out were working in his favour, acting like water on the raging fire that had been his heat so far. Or maybe the Trazinol hadn't worn off yet. It didn't matter, all he knew was that he desperately wanted her to stop touching him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQvyBmcwAc
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLeGAX5wn
Ethan struggled as hard as he could to get her off but she had no trouble holding him in place. He was still weak and the bindings had no give either. He only felt her fingers digging in deeper, hard enough to hurt. He focused on the pain and used it to ground himself, trying to ignore everything else he was feeling.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcwXrTvDHA
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkdYnhqTq4
Ethan heard the snip snip sound of scissors behind his head. He wasn't sure why they'd be interested in a DNA test if they already knew he was Charax. It would be obvious soon enough, once the heat symptoms came back in full force.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf40qTszErl
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeFR9R5UEq
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPGiUqP2PD
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjB4j8Pzhq
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQMZmlposD
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSi9eEbjmu
Josephine forced Ethan's face from side to side as she studied him intently. "Shame he's Charax, he's got such a pretty face."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCICJm3YjI
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWUbKBCDJN
Ethan started to struggle more, feeling slightly stronger now, but still getting nowhere. He felt her fingers digging into his jaw, hard enough to bruise. She laughed, letting go of him. He glared daggers at her in response, unwilling to show any fear.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRkaO3UIK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKFXy2vpR8
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpommoywhrK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwkmKFTaU0
The way she said it made him feel incredibly uncomfortable. Like she was treating him as less than human. His discomfort didn't escape her notice.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50LAqzONJz
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MJAYY64RJ
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DVVtpTjdS
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRDtyK7Su
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqZE6m1jt
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTm5AzBWyd
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cx8HNJ9xr
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOKylQREgH
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS61SP2Fa3B
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH1V00asPj
They both ignored him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgVxR8S4P7
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3molWKbQDC
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgKzDOCom
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rwS7xoVXR
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeEEoSBwgF
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRfdaOp2GU
"We might as well just give him another dose. I don't feel like listening to any screaming right now," Josephine said from behind him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwINU2ulKx7
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfgq3ItN9r
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T74osqKC5
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPIHxV8fKE
Ethan gulped, comprehending his situation. He knew the drugs were a greater threat the gag. If he wanted to get out of there, he'd need to be aware and awake. He reluctantly bit back his remaining questions. It didn't seem like they'd answer any of them anyways.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr8v7OORHb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGtMqyQima
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLOf70Am6U
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcN4Igdwsj
Ethan really didn't want to but he didn't see any other options. The man would just take it by force if he refused. He could only hope they didn't realize what they were taking. He reluctantly opened his mouth, letting the man taking a swab of his cheek.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA1PmQB3cv
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXlqDs3GF
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1gJfdbu3
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFowoTALFv
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y1TxWwGXa
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8O9idcEiv
Ethan didn't like the sound of that and the way she put her hand on his thigh as she said it further unnerved him. He pressed himself back into the chair as he glared at her defiantly. Instead of getting angry, she smirked back at him and squeezed his thigh.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr6VK9T8No
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNi9RP1XY8
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2X30rNVoi
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wwyK4Xp5V
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS111NUDuXX
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSqPFUSikq
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LOyvrHqB3
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBE8iJjUtH
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15t4Pm3HyH
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq9ZYeCQvs
"I know that," Josephine said to him patronizingly before turning her attention to Ethan. "Open up," she said as she went to stick the thermometer in his mouth.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XshYKYHeT
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdxOz7q88o
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SRHpHyNaP
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE8qKt77zv
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoq9pq2Wuq
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeDNcwYg9b
Ethan glared back at her, fuming, as he felt the hard metal object on his tongue. A few seconds later, Josephine pulled the thermometer out and placed it back on the table.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Jniu9q7I
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOGbru2JZ
Terrence picked up what looked like a whitish liquid in a bag off the table. He torn off an end and held it in front of Ethan's face. "Drink it," he ordered.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71K5jkGHWf
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5iIbrc4p1
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImzmpj5Bol
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBazR12AS0m
Terrence sighed. "I know you aren't hungry, but you're going to be in heat for a while. No point in wearing yourself out early."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqu6pCRRBY
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RgAEffOqP
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtZJVOq5n8
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxumtiutl1j
"Not an option," Terrence insisted but Ethan pressed his lips together defiantly anyways. The large man sighed again, clearly losing patience with his uncooperative prisoner.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtVGEtQBTv
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNt60YhCG3
Josephine took a syringe off the table and offered it to her partner. "This should make him more compliant." Terrence quickly took the syringe and turned back to Ethan.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp0ydhTFeD
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU3zvAWHS9
"What's that?" Ethan asked worriedly as he saw the man approach. "Wait, don't—" Ethan cut himself off as the man ignored him and injected the mystery drug into the IV line. He fought a new wave of nausea off, closing his eyes again and tried his best to forget he had a needle in his arm.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijdZyKwWO
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgtvRPPbis
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEdxks8tA1
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHcW2mMYNK
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUUvp2FMee
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIbFLJvoTs
He opened his eyes to see the two captors leaving the room and heard the door close behind them, leaving him completely alone. Immediately, he took the chance to try and break out of his restraints. He fought hard to break his bonds but the leather cuffs binding his arms and legs to the metal chair were sturdy. He strained and thrashed but couldn't move more than a millimetre. After a few minutes, he settled back down into the chair, panting, tired, and unsuccessful. There was nothing left to do except wait and hope they would move him to a less secure area soon.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1EEnF1SaQ
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBm7rUGYmx
As he sat there, he felt a trickle of sweat run down his bare back. He took note of the moisture gathering on his skin and dampening his remaining clothing. He wasn't sure if it was due to the heat or his ineffective attempt to get out of the bindings. The level of arousal coming from the heat hadn't gotten any stronger, that was good news at least. Then a few minutes later, Ethan felt the drug kick in like a tsunami. He felt a familiar fog swelling up at the edges of his mind and he tried his best to stay lucid. Shortly after that, the two dealers reentered the room.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWtSOfLxdr
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJZklHu8Nc
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWEALX3lwM
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ipHqCsbU1
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MD2FPDkP9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHqs3xj6H
Ethan shook his head, mouth kept tightly closed. He knew they could inject him with whatever they wanted. There was no point in poisoning his food. He knew he was being stubborn but he had no interest in making anything easy for them now.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujIGsj0mMk
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d1FeH9qSg
"Still?" The man let out a sigh brief of frustration then quickly punched him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. "Don't think we won't damage you if you cause us trouble. You're still worth a fortune broken."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnFblh9wIJ
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvvUdlhhVv
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ZHFfSsci
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUAX9DAsmD
"Do fight, I do so enjoy breaking the ones that fight back," the blonde woman purred, watching from her seat on the table, clearly entertained.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww1fowW28a
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3sGJGIHSk
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI686W6hPR3
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHRUCUJnBY
Josephine smiled again, making Ethan's skin crawl. "We never know until we try. And the heat makes it easier, not harder. It's such a great reward system."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzOHQ7LEoz
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOghxUOagYR
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsfk6FqvB2
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfDasxzTdb
"Aw, he's blushing." The woman's tone sounded more suited to talking to a puppy than a person. "A virgin? We can fix that quickly."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2THVql5BxW
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaRUiCCyQ1
"I'm not an animal," Ethan protested angrily. It was getting harder for him to keep focused, to stay angry at her. He figured it was an effect of whatever they'd injected him with, making it difficult to focus.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc5TOmnuaW
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU0uhv7ULZ
The blond laughed with a biting cruel edge. She jumped down off the table and approached him leisurely. "Oh, but you are. That's what the Charax are. And right now you'll fuck anyone we put in front of you." She ran her fingers along his muscles, across his chest, down his arm. He flinched at her touch. "I think you'd do a good job too. I have high expectations for you."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBtkWZSC5Y
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuYTshT2Q7
Terrence appeared to have little patience for Ethan or his partner. He passed the bag over to her. With a huff, the man gripped Ethan's hair and yanked his head back before forcing his mouth open.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra6IUR1Il0
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOViDjkjuCE
Ethan lacked the ability to put up any significant resistance now, the drug coursing through his veins. The blond quickly emptied the bag into his mouth and then the man forced his jaw shut. He gagged at the taste but his mouth was held tightly shut. The white liquid was disgusting. It somehow combined the texture of yogurt with the taste of chalk in the worst way possible.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn40s3qbMA
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWARCOysytB
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX5u9pofff
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmKYeq93iP
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPlaNe5ZqE
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG31hkMzQTS
Josephine suddenly pinched his nose shut. Unable to breath, Ethan ended up swallowing the fluid and his captors let go of him. He was left there to catch his breath, unable to get the taste of the stuff out of his mouth.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhgC93l8K9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAiqlRgZbd
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZwKsrydDm
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJS87cI19M
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOjo1uLq9Q
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiZX2dcJdG
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnFSilvtTB
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjIsMf2bQo
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebU81Jlau3
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FzqcyK0QJ
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XpcGKINEi
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWyS3Ep8S7
"Of course, you'd have lots of clients but I'm sure we could find you a suitable mate. That's what you call them, isn't it? Everyone has their favourites. Their weak spots." She dug her nails further, enough to draw start drawing blood.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOARVjvL4I
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxCzagcIX
Ethan gritted his teeth. "Go to hell." He kept staring daggers at her, as if he could drill a hole through her head with his eyes.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbEUNPY7an
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZF47BUlr
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG6ggpX8gD
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOmzogb7Q
Terrence shrugged, as if Ethan had proven his point for him. "See, too much trouble, might as well just process 'em and be done with it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WBcKG9TTd
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdkjYmhLnN
Ethan wasn't eager to find out what either the training or the processing were. He wasn't planning on stick around long enough to find out.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe7vYxZcgR
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMbNNEoZd4
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtS9HaGoFp
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJtBiXaCZ8
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsETfA7INr
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf91BPREnrB
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZHPClAmOc
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE8a8yFT1U
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bHnze1quM
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iqEdgx8Ff
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUy5OaJ5sV
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvPULZrwNn
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW3P5pMHhH
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakcPNEr3en
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9I0pUIChX
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2TSublC1R
Ethan was having trouble following the conversation. He was trying to piece together what they were talking about but it was difficult, even just focusing on what they were saying took a lot of effort.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq8SRoPuA1
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUfPIxCuLU
"We need to deal with him before he goes crazy on us at least." Terrence was fiddling with the medical equipment. Ethan had stopped trying to figure out what the man was doing.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrVZGuPhcI
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ3sWBf80m
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGlwacjmfb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uCxWpm1GP
Ethan's muddled mind raced as he watched his two jailers standing by the table, their backs to him. What time limit? What are they talking about? I need to get out of here, he thought frantically. He subtly tested the bindings around his wrists and ankles pointlessly. He glanced around the room again, hoping for some idea of how to escape, but no ideas came to him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHeIFqdvJs
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxk0B1Rcdc
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJBtidEjY
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD3PpNSzD4
"Someone could always turn up. Or we could make a trade," Josephine suggested. "It's a shame to waste this state, all I'm saying." She gestured vaguely towards Ethan.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqmL53Kotu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy8KczcjOH
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo0OOGkb1V

The conversation kept going but Ethan only picked up bits and pieces now. His mind felt incredibly foggy and he ended up tuned out of the conversation entirely. Somewhere in his mind, he hoped they'd forgotten about him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4UVYirHas
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKqT8bt91K
"I'm talking to you," Terrence snapped his fingers in front of Ethan's face. Ethan blinked and found they'd both turned their attention back to him. "Can you hear me?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40J71NyYht
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsTvk6aV0p
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNZcXAcAL3
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b7XOhC05E
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzFFXt7gl
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPADX3AFDUs
"I was born here." Ethan blurted out before he could stop himself. He hadn't intended to answer that at all. He had to be careful, the drug in his system was messing with his head.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgoHtDStMo
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR9ikjCDuD
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw6ZsTFS45
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6EEsJyqSj
Ethan didn't see any point in trying to lie about that, he didn't even try to stop the answer from coming out. "Twenty nine."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaKQvS5TEt
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVbXwCYvb
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55E7wt4Bdx
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHqBAAgv6Z
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsOnnI7Ct6
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd1J8HGUtM
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TaCRSPj0c
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyou9T3raUz
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8txvgLR6ME
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMDZyv6h8
"Mate," Josephine corrected.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ViaTsVxGa
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tDlHz6ruv
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBLc7Z0qAI
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL2i274unx
Ethan knew they were looking for other Charax to catch but it didn't matter, he could answer the question honestly without endangering anyone. "No one." Josephine looked at him with a different curiosity now, he tried to ignore her behaviour and focus on the man in front of him.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwpOnxjWmY
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJShGkTxJN
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgrWbrjadu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsD1DiuYZH
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0koeCU1ht
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD6kE1UWZs
Terrence eyed him suspiciously. "I don't believe you. I bet you didn't go two days without finding someone or attacking some random Terran."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFB7WtM7ZD
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQSx977P36
"I didn't!" Ethan replied angrily, leaning forwards in his chair as far as the bindings would allow. He glared fiercely at the man in front of him. "And I don't care if you don't believe me."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUiaDVjt3E
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlwoghMf0o
"That's not even possible, is it?" His interrogator glanced at Josephine, who simply shrugged in response. "We'll come back to that," he muttered, looking back at the piece of paper.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4jXHN31bT
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgEWCgf0u0
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5rjUPdEI1
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo08CEa7PMl
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zjKn0KZzx
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfRwITigKZ
Ethan realized they were truly interrogating him now. He almost blurted out something he shouldn't have. There's no way they could know who he was, who his family was. His best option would be to play dumb, if he even could in this condition.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfgxfHDOLC
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRgP2jUu2D
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL7UHSwJ4H
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiehGxrW72Y
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GN2DrRFre
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArJSDvmMmA
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P4aVOKyL0
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnffaUDZuY
"I don't know," Ethan answered honestly. He was rather relieved he didn't know any other Charax's identity at the moment. They could do whatever they wanted to him, but he could never put another one of his people in harms way.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBH78eaJA6
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8utvzVq5R5
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cYlcMtGh
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWojLxTTQRa
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ScqcTAzb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNUvkf2PFd
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fG5Bynye5
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRGZpl5MVh
Terrence kept pressing him, convinced Ethan was lying. As the man interrogated him, Ethan felt like his whole body was spinning. He felt like he'd fall over at any moment, despite being strapped into a chair that he couldn't escape from if he tried. He became more and more frustrated with his captor, who refused to accept his answer, until he couldn't bottle in the frustration any longer.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSu8xfCngb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGZgZk3E3E
"I can't!" Ethan shouted at them, at his wit's end. Terrence didn't seem at all convinced by his little outburst. Ethan felt overly exhausted by the single act and he slumped in the chair.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZI60v268A
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxUUY66XIW
Josephine had lost interest in him a while ago, appearing content to let her partner run the interrogation so far, but now she spoke up. "I don't think you're going to get an answer out of him right now."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE6FP63qUQ
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxPqQIAQai
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywsqYuDGYT
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX1BRUsrpJ
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s6cXV0HQq
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJe8VBFhiZ
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorelgI1jQY
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJEewlHeS
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwGN7jpeuq
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tahquH7yk
Terrence nodded in agreement. "We're done here." He put the paper down on the table then came over to Ethan, starting to loosen the bindings on his ankles. Ethan resisted the urge to kick the man in the face, opting to wait until he was completely free to make his move. Ethan tried to watch attentively as Terrence undid the restraints binding him to the chair.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FtFmSKicu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuAQgWMlwY
As soon as Ethan was free, he tried to throw a punch at the big man. His captor didn't even try to stop him, simply watching as he landed awkwardly on the hard concrete floor. He went to get up and fell back to the ground quickly before even managing to attempt a second swing.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpudUejKt9
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNNywO5e6j
Ethan tried to stand up again. He quickly found out that he couldn't even stand on his own, let alone fight back. Whatever they'd given him had made his limbs weak. Josephine came over and grabbed one of his arms.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL0Xy7Vqr3
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jun7m4jjC
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBYYRrB9SI
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeARlXdzxE
The blond looked at him curiously. She put her fingers on his neck to take his pulse. He tried to push her away weakly, unsuccessfully. "Hmmm... maybe you are right about going straight into processing."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqNgOGyf7w
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfDqjYCUty
"Told you. I've done this enough times that I know which ones are worth the trouble and which aren't," Terrence said as he grabbed Ethan's other arm.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp7zdGHVX6
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lYOqW3mgb
The two of them dragged Ethan to his feet, he was very aware of how his captors were almost entirely supporting his weight. They dragged him through the door into another room with three doors and some furniture. His struggles were so weak that his captors didn't even appear to notice them.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9tlzxBZkb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVAsPFFPtO
His vision was blurry but he tried his best to remember the layout of the room as they dragged him through the door to their left, which opened up to a staircase leading downwards.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfORaPwFT4c
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtSyBtdJse
He could barely keep his eyes open as they brought him down into the cold basement, he could see the edges of his vision going dark. He suddenly felt himself be dropped lazily on to something unexpectedly soft. Then heard a click as he felt something cold and hard around his ankle.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms5BAXDZBN
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVymTUcv4L
He couldn't open his eyes to see where he was. He couldn't make out what the voices where saying, only vaguely aware they were becoming fainter. The darkness was all that remained.8964 copyright protection108ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXSciztsSp 維尼
