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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KzIP2zqO
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76PcxpCvIs
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrDw0vjrWz
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTnBlpFKZ
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mE2oeBjyc
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThBhsJG1M
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yHAm3KVOO
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro8qWAxVYv
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vEavqKlNk
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1xVH8MkFA
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHOqW8pan3
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP8qhKffqQ
"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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLzL5NYtYM
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbIj1kmD8V
"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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnDigBh4qx
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGQdwtYw8G
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4F0XR1ZA
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dUU1zjWAk
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJrl8bNqK
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3drHkTjZ
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf1AiSGT5x
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eesQtK5sl
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqJzx6hVpL
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpDk4PNZ7
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiaAtS9Mrh
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1fr5gaIx7
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTyuvARDHw
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxASR0nt57
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAaOsQUGPr
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB7xWJrgsK
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru2m24INyU
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJtAzvBBFV
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JEBtvC3Oe
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TQ4VWEoBh
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhTQoV7fzr
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITc3yCIh2S
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XuqkIXw6N
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dCMAp0vNY
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtlYYhYH1h
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZN1qncQGA
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvnaxpieGj
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhObavIxW2
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AIX8vkg0p
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8Bd9illq
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3KsbEl0RK
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01IERWgpWv
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?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uvJ2xg9td
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUL6RLVcNV
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna4SiO3aCn
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR5WiOktOP
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDzpXqzK1a
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7LB4mvAaC
"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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqmAA7YHkk
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqVULzSFaq
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmYEoJOjqM
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXofxbnNha
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.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa3EIOGjdY
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4iwZThJiR
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinj5AYUeAY
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcA5kSbn85
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9IDRtFgO3
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklD5DedTOP
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmNLLIqxne
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpXPsLHb1F
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB5mzyIIZn
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy7wuHyCWp
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0iTfPewcj
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DWL5BOE0J
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIOQbVOaBW
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKG4kIpMdf
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
