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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaweLuDRjZ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vE4AOPj0K
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkUm9h4Slq
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaQOKHE2Ox
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCsmF5Ga3f
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVbiUdBRJz
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPhsrOOJnv
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RCc048xSw
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMItD5y4kM
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp9EPGG3HK
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29lFj3WmpL
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDq4K9zxXZ
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamoNMt9qFA
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23hU9bGPdk
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMeuYk6XJm
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yYPI5jcgH
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQ5PP9czc
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBnxhJuC35
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7eZM3f9Wl
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7GFRW23fq
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY41QFU6va5
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAY7UtneNE
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m30Xb2b0G
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Ao3gUB8r
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlZ3kuu1Zg
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P8J1RTa97
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOazdCN0x
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWTWQBVt7r
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKHvkmQRzi
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TqL1uO4HB
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2X9EpK7kv
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C8mXNYFWw
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOof2BTrRN
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfPCbpez6b
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs3qnXIOZw
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlydvlWPY
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eXCOvMyUf
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1cG0GFoPZ
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelBeMTR7KE
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvIyYyEQkC
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmH2tOxKfs
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQL3pLtCV
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7POHlnL1oU
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TO5hb4B08
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtPy9LeSf
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMdV0B7r4d
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?"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwa3MZvFi
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpSsGg2ZzV
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0imBoMAlW
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl2zjs6s3b
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSYMA1VrkL
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwQZqsrej5
"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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8fLAOSqT8
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqZnUldY0m
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpUFiPUdAJ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2iQ7SXQrt
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.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxISP7tekl
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDiCwA1htf
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3G7Y4nudL
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIrNMK8SS
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGUEFbMynB
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNOZKmMrYb
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7r0jgBKLY
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRu2oNvEgR
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGzTil5xxb
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kO8YqcSUs
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW7Gsvzklp
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL4QpVRhfH
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOQsRGblR
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcOVBjXJ4X
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
