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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0al4are8VA
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94pF7OTtT8
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduiFkbYKYY
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBp82rSDcp
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bq7TLLYw0
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD315KQaQV5
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPXsMDKfbq
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCTh8DhKhL
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnhqkoQcI2
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKohQzN3Bd
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTWxGcSd3E
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn90PAzg3o
"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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwXirGThIa
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dKx7Mxzt8
"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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco7ZOmX5gu
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gTJe9NcZv
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MdouZmsO2
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex6dCJSKGe
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJ6Zdz21i
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5jHCpMeW8
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUphrTANUSo
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRENkJ1cfk
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10P4t9Jbti
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BmC39jmur
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL7DieNwt0
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6swtqn0y5h
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQzNWR2fd2
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhw6fw5PuP
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmFmbMhDFu
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE1D7dPyfp
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiLbSl8ohs
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgtIg84JFJ
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX8zvBNo3I
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF4oeUT5am
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjuzISSMCA
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCSxp26GGf
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK55Bviz8C
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalUY0eoqxy
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMScjgF8UVb
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtHAwtdTaW
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgvm9z44TY
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYQOCCvQ8C
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo2XZATzbV
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyD7L1ux4d
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdv9rVAdn
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCUUWcCBmW
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?"137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqqav389fV
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWdlZHfGuu
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0b4ZhhFGz
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMz4ovHym
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD1bplQMjX
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyFjCzLj0G
"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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e0BWNFjCy
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gnvWNRCeE
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDLx3rMMGg
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQLV1dSb75
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwRMQrAiuP
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW9VRDlScN
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOMRk22OOX
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYlzAdnRKj
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNDE7yWnxw
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PIsTesDx3
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt3edeL7MF
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANikpxEuB1
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4QxBejkee
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8HHLqH5L5
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B71GRc6i8
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc1WabUHXs
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaQDu254mm
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT14mb8WHZK
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
