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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIECPzCjLv
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZByPyEWwpl
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26XOwdVFOx
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUq0DHbRje
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0YqIqblJt
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd2s2bTNZ7
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFywZBnwu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuuBmuYnDG
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOR6fzncLL
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zgojJLWp
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw7iall7ym
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkAWdEChZP
"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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwdD0pGAR
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkzyPYdAHg
"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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVRZP2gGJb
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbtOhWbmHZ
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxyHvtwGK1
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzetHdNXQU
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt895VOItpm
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK3GxJSIEQ
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWtaOje14
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYZXYH3mYb
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxE87wiqO
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF5jWlhr3Q
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyqLOVIO8r
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3YNbLLVt4
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKoCAuoizu
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIwiL4yzB
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqomstWNj4n
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6Uge9LMr
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ZIc2eYoD
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSjwFxRLmO
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI7n2jdO4g
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRzu4NqU5p
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxiVAFJV5B
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jlS6xtbK6
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluw8hFjM5v
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZ7lp3tzE
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHx1rNSBZg
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx629ZtzKK4
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdHY3irN8K
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSdN8oqOzR
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC4faifUlF
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQVuZnHM0F
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrYKXiCF0S
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD52qXKPZ5J
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?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvm5t2qzPH
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4RhQDWrbh
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOsh1nKhkX
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJAvxEkGD5
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZO7IKJ4N2
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUl0Xdzbxy
"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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxwMj30vJw
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiluOuDYmM
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvi2G4Izzk
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxjoCygKs7
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.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsA3IWvbCW
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj48HDMPH2C
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmNPYNNCed
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRgFh6nNKd
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFPxGlQZJX
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tyLixWyQq
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yV2auEvd
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG9kL1NkcQ
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7aBKmwBaa
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHMKMeqiTS
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OCGHy5MQU
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RwOU55U6i
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPgUojQWrK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U6D7pE47y
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
