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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9PYxq7IcW
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJRol8jLpQ
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL1A52XY85
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVFbitSB6J
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLCKQiIPN0
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHBsfi8U4G
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZrUSqq5YV
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx6avMPiMH
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQHmyQ0po
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhhGnhvuhk
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9SUM24yGM
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySux7diFYt
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQnSU2qmPP
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm10cEYYCzM
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmoJNOccjx
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAzGV8dDfG
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaI8vKDfRp
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkMTIHglIg
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVqpjCXwBP
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2GMSsfAFA
"What are you doing?" Ethan mumbled, still dazed and more than a little confused.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrZ1JW9A5U
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqKwBIouP8
"Look who's awake." The blonde woman smiled at him in a way that sent shivers down his spine.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzXnZNGwZm
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0E4wrb5iu
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Ik9Tk5cF
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSQQNV6S1j
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsMktuVYdp
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQYEWxklZA
"Josephine, get over here." Ethan heard from the man behind him. "Hold him still."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMR1PEN1l7
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUA6B1d1hx
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sHvLnbkt6
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3FQUN8coK
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze6UrtTC18
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvtppA15O6
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IQBy5sPSs
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGFqoxcPiR
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi8a5FKskK
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgvfAwxF4R
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFx1FfulOi
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqcZiDDbB7
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr79IwRq7FN
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEOQWiVAvJ
Her eyes darted upwards to the man cutting his hair. "Done?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gnMYaWBNF
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJem90Y0U
"I got enough," the other one replied as he walked over the to table.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl39VFcySeF
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXanNM6GPT
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmRzymN0F
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nBoB89SIW
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8L56Ijloj
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS30x48n5Ry
She walked around him, examining him with a critical eye. "A male in great condition. Purebred. Young. Healthy. Minimal scaring. It's a shame."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7j1fedf8F
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWhcWRWxmM
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OjBeRlGVD
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb4itcei58
"Don't be upset, those are all compliments." She spoke with a false sweetness in her voice that came across as patronizing.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEtR6iEXe
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm8yrJDgV2
The man was preoccupied doing something with the equipment on the table. "He's not going to be in this condition for long."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZTd98BAFX
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bBhLLiLTk
"I know, it's such a waste." Josephine pouted dramatically.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6POFdq7IjQ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Es4vTLwnn
"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked, worried by how the conversation was turning.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdIw9wJ0E1
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9JBgZUO1M
They both ignored him.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuubsbnqTE
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWyy2fKfW
"Hey! What's going on?" Ethan raised his voice in frustration.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtAIbBs5R
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqxZywPma9
The man turned around to glare at Ethan. "Get the message and shut up already or we'll gag you."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MURVwV7Sz
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoLzScpqtt
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZThhCGI57
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAniyhxF2x3
"We'll see," her partner answered flatly.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CN67QGDLl
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjwkMEqKcj
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHA8JjfzOJ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRSFKNPfBF
The man turned around with a swab in his hands. "Open your mouth."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE8z1ywe2y
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m3rGMwBBy
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV77bPFpkTf
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQOSZ3k9OG
The man pulled out the swab and examined it. "That's enough for a sample."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHnXhhjuQM
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhabMZCOY7
"Maybe we should take some other samples while we have him out here, all set up," the blonde suggested.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTKcxfjiw4
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvHmW5dVwe
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGEeOBnlHZ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho4IAJ8kLa
"Knock it off. We've got other work to do right now," the man told her sternly.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJSIwzAODV
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqfJ6rNDtc
"Terrence, you are never any fun. James would at least consider it," Josephine complained.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ1er9r0q2
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFYdXV6Un
Ethan added that information to the list of things he knew so far. There's at least three of them, he concluded.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0weFW1apMm
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u5E85JgLX
"I'm not James," Terrence retorted, handing her a thermometer.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav6xqwXiqA
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ0JCcuWhw
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuUMxcE4AO
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AI4RHdpY3
Ethan opened his mouth slightly and held himself still despite wanting nothing more than to bash her head in.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaVYYeQ1VH
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgILU1FvXmP
Josephine slipped the device in. "No biting now."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTUMONlzTd
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvPDKAVdqS
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zwGxzzQ4y
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZEvz35Vwp
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEy7jA6OfJ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nNVdcy2Li
Ethan's eyes flickered between his captor and the liquid. "I'm good."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEVXGZx9PH
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgTpbP3WkG
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oskKANGWZ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMam3j0sFh4
"No, I don't want it," Ethan refused, eyeing the strange meal skeptically.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSGYlJ7kPy
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmygmKp52z2
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKSz2yzkBS
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsfcJwecWP
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RhpcrsRwC
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaKmzwz9SX
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaBiDH814v
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xIHvKWfnz
Ethan heard a masculine voice near him. "Let's take a break."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp189FqV8j
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsmvqjtJYK
"Sure," a more feminine voice replied.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuswPpbkvu
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWUuW6lAfE
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhrdCnzQNf
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpbOGV47j0
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi6JVl2owD
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtdnhd0lhc
Josephine came around and studied him closely, examining his pupils. "It's working all right."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LOnSNLDyg
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfNXwNxzJC
"Let's try this again," Terrence said as he held the liquid up to his lips again.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Kvpo28Ym
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0p3nUP9s3
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOXBjPcdTU
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrV9LNHYnJ
"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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9nA0HHy4
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZjSyGWsbx
Ethan, hunched over in the chair, tried to catch his breath. It proved a more difficult task than he expected.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzJUYqnOT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOd5U67YkN
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYCeyJMzVX
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ78LTcH2t5
"He's a bit too old for training. And in heat," Terrence retorted, still in a bad mood.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yFYXAiiTt
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KKBUxHJMX
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvSevdpnmY
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP5PXrgwON
Ethan shuddered at the thought of what she was proposing.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwFjLYYdIq
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAasHOgb4q
"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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRsKIUjAAE
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FszAKXb3
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTY8AFA5Pn
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt4mCac4Ef
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWV25MXfcC
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiSGTtbDlU
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Lx2wG6Sw
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6sgKMr14d
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcTSr20CSo
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe0i8vzvcy
"Swallow," Terrence ordered.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHhazv4Squ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lq7MKpP3s
Ethan refused to obey out of pure stubbornness.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x3BM768F0
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee1QWzLMQs
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEgbetjtQk
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2XMcsyvCy
"See, he just needs the proper motivation," Josephine said happily.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77YQGO107M
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp7FLiI4vK
Terrence ignored her, heading back over to the table.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKn0bcqy8Y
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDscFlatTG
Ethan glared at her. "It doesn't matter what you give me. I won't do it."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1sh90LA2u
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gTrXKlNYD
Josephine smirked dangerously as she stroked his shoulder. "You will. Don't be scared, you'd enjoy every minute of it."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdHOHjtNYc
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgiXEOmrbm
Ethan glared at her angrily. He tried to shake her hand off but she dug her nails into his shoulder.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsT5DQOBXb
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PbWzblhoN
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWoQpWQKuA
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Nq25xkXi
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRWwk6VvOd
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxN4EFR9mE
Josephine raised an eyebrow at him as she pulled her hand away, studying him intently as if he were some kind of interesting specimen.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpChxqkyTs
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQlDfcyPw4
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsu3GWP64h
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZEFybXiKA
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4eyoTa18
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8fHRxFwQZ
"Where's the fun in that?" Josephine responded, still staring at Ethan.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEGMPWT1Py
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdKv4kTZse
"In spending your cut," Terrence stated dryly. He kept working away with something over on the table, blocked from Ethan's view.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuy2kcfnHS
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNaF6QXTAe
Josephine frowned. "Seems like a waste, we could get more. Given the excellent condition the body's in. Or go for auction."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeHZ3XVkDR
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcU9ivCMFL
"The boss gave his orders," Terrence told her seriously.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ZJs9hD7k
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5n4v3m8ik
Josephine joined him over at the table. "Orders can be changed."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wm8tJ2hK2
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AajrfaHUv
"You know he's probably already secured buyers," Terrence said dismissively.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dDBjqPz7h
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQV4qAVi4
"I know," Josephine said disappointingly. "I'm not saying we shouldn't offload him eventually."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvPKQ0Obnw
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu2oKwcIJq
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1yIOynlrp
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMnjrVcED
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKPAOCfHqg
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx2UaMAlui
"Yes, yes, I know how the heat ones get. I'm aware of the time limit," Josephine replied nonchalantly.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxVfGebnZr
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYugBPbdyw
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMHkgcGmsF
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW6DEGf3RI
"You don't have any openings at the moment," Terrence reminded her. "I don't know know what you're expecting out of him."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBp1YxPJgK
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVpsW3pdIe
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG3NHtITCT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5yHSJrXT
"Good luck with that, I'm going to do my job. No use going the extra mile," Terrence responded, slightly annoyed.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9NdBDPkFv

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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7nlPIRKRQ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCOzybDmDr
"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?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPFHFW8Bp
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsrU8O34tJ
"Yeah?" Ethan answered uncertainly, confused about what was happening now.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1FnhvAx00
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiegaObjjuE
Terrence looked at the new sheet of paper in his hands. "How long have you been on Earth?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM40FKO1ggp
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDB90yI8ms
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag1enN9RMn
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXTLpDcQg3
"How old are you?" Terrence asked.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39L0l1hNJe
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgdNe0PWwY
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv26sDK9LCi
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDk78gZU6H
"Late bloomer," Josephine interjected from her seat on top of the table.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvcXTWwDlS
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVLspSr2Mw
"How long have you been in heat?" Terrence asked the next question.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpamFgXZE8
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDHMAhIGhV
"A week," Ethan blurted out again.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUae2evtGY
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfK8qFM6a5
Terrence's eyes lit up with new found interest. "Who's your heat partner?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPke6vStgwf
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRh2YbBeyM
"Mate," Josephine corrected.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgoXH7rxAz
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcQgd1tCtZ
"Whatever," he replied in annoyance. He focused in on Ethan again. "Who have you been having sex with this week?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6Cy1QdKc
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWWr4lG8y5
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwiMJSdV6u
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbzdFMAKdo
Terrence shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way that's true."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec5aSVSeL9
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcqLGN02wB
"It's the truth," Ethan insisted.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgsoI3F8G0
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDXvqiaD11
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFZubUC0HF
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWRb6iSO5i
"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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEO9BBMcFQ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqhzBkM1MS
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUcCqqrMFK
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa4OQVC6uV
Ethan settled back down into the chair, feeling somewhat satisfied.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix0wdLeNoX
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wkWL5i7QV
Terrence flipped the paper over. "Charax technology. What do you know?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf278HlLem
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMWT4e384m
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXYg3TyVUP
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbLqnRab43
"I– What– That's what this is about?" Ethan struggled, trying to avoid having to lie.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq6IjbUS1w
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdvFXo4fzr
"He's too young to know anything about the tech," Josephine commented from her perch.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqBEJmOgDZ
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdiTyj0uy
"We've always got to check," Terrence muttered irritably, glancing back at the page. "Where are there more Charax?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAdV2FJUfz
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCbqVWqBPh
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZG07gMf5
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdAM5I0O7
"I don't believe you," Terrence said dryly.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHizg7vo0b
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9qkXkfpa
"It's the truth," Ethan stated flatly.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca9HifJZLT
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zRGuiggqI
"You've been here your whole life. You've got to know someone. Give me a name," Terrence insisted.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG4nqskGLr
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq9B6bmkog
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO95gwYyuL
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHubyRE4ePj
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebmNxiggA8
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHwZ7Qnk5Q
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib9KxbvHz7
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbCGXoAIGe
"He must know at least one," Terrence insisted still.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcHLDDTLDG
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqBzOi4Qc8
"It's not a truth serum," Josephine argued.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfZAZmYmTN
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSDpBbLVP1
It feels like it is, Ethan thought.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3cLviYJqD
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEF961hYgi
"You'll have to try again later. He's almost gone." Josephine sounded disinterested now.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOunT3YXFs
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEvbOYh4gT
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6oVHwsocc
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatl91iVia8
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vwCk4fIdn
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXYiClukRK
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzWprwsi5l
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWnjNER4Br
"Don't touch me," Ethan grunted, all the protest he could manage in this state.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vw2biLYnL
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38E1iRvQoT
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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyLVp32v1o
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx2C6ys68M
"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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDDBAKGRQa
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvU00oXTRi
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo6Uw3CeBa
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx3IDuMau6
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTd0BjyjXu
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLx8NBH8Hr
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.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFr0OyAKr3
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BrjTkzBDb
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 protection112ＰＥＮＡＮＡop6HJ2liq1 維尼
