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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj970w3aM1G
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbIjlBzGkp
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFiK9FVqyo
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnaRz3cD4u
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD6tTZCKse
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLKwfA33cm
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjepvuzi72
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz73JzUd6o
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LyIo4HHn0
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOne1E9Yjg
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbclI8YflV8
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpUXesM3xk
"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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpDBbhL7Hf
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qG69w8Yfm
"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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PNxYlvr6e
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c1jk0Q0wa
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJscuFdrdt
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSmmwXzP8W
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxRYj3Gexv
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzA4Yhd64q
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNYR4sa4Bu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBinHDP5aC
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpHWyNfT6H
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6dQNTId2e
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7vHqxPJa3
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6EhTSXiCv
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb5lV14Vba
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLDwHvet7n
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZiX8Tg8oW
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rgdT2cjwk
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvCP7H7OXA
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjece3k2Zm
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw1XEzp4md
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl72r9yKOOd
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqowgGkExb
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L0Wlohz7s
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJfDPmaWP
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOrPKG48c5
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68vqnQJroR
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ETuAk8gv
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAUJRqcPIc
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGhez7KAQ
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB3d5SDRFn
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0yrOO9wGs
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLqQAr0zsy
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYEZMSeuZF
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?"144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JtylQNlPF
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fZm46VQNc
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0fSkkrKqI
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDmFVCWDc2
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1LMu7xgM6
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXuFzS3AW
"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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlMlhZniO
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz5jzcIlBC
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcUcioneVM
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1hnkdp0B5
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51MODyv7qa
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSMJpM46Yu
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLjeM0X6wI
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzE6SvKaNM
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjakwdANDL
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ9Y2ruAEK
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6QaJ45l6v
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFcbwO6tDx
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiyLmOGoWT
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGkORDxEcH
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP8CMstc3t
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6AWktKsSS
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3dGxA86II
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0POfzQviDJ
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
