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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL24OzEieN
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNknONeBxc
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro7zPnE1vr
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4feBlfye2
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl2VfUDEay
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1QDfFxFAS
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0jQAjqQxJ
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBvLjR25Cw
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j6biQvoRE
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZNibDARaQ
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiYQa7qa8L
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYzXZ3KAEw
"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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuReajNXCI
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MM5w2blt6
"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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc2vPwSUR4
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzRZny2Pgf
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3T5nrUnJP
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2pODdn3s
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRfxR73U5I
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuJdbNJJPM
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AN56X4Jvg
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5a4LcIhV
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRprDG5Sb1
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOQImxjt20
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRnMjFx4eo
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCl6hYZmHT
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2OZFNndXA
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKX6KSDPzo
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadZgiBCUTA
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjTJCORb5
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdtCp9dBkt
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTxzrObdAG
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH59bt4byZ
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySApQjcsJt
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSrIuCX7T
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCyaBr3yvY
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2mwjTZuuu
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM7ViLgRuU
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3dLP4jplL
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN0NvCZosc
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NgSvmleTd
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytrKkIoxM
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y3wbBOtwN
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPggBOexar
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWQf9Hj6zv
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfepRY71SYS
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?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8nk6WAJid
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaHc3QqhW9
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU406RERK2
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45zjFG0tym
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaDgLCKbsR
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfreavmWBpd
"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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9yA4bmenA
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mo8mUlK4N
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcENeV5J85
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh9eZaileg
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.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XjlMvs8ib
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tDIh2kSxz
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjMwRu5ne
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk5Og4ubw3
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyPUdj20FB
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTq7jOiD4p
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUpLypvMJd
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfFkimLj1Z
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3seMANROw
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqC70DJriM
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9zPUiSKx
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYCTTy8g24
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KYa9UxJD1
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRefV6vPr4
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
