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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqA4Rt8xrc
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iGdAgt75v
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFgxVGWXEt
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4C9DKQDyh
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzgz11cNQR
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTaIeYd3Py
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAetDzXlXYR
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR9lxig3Qh
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq9sfoEcoZ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bJbdXptBZ
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODTmY3xM0Z
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDZNxy2Fb
"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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4GLep7raG
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwp1MIiDs
"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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77CCgUpM2d
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQmsZFGmm
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM1RwalkiQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC21RdqrKG
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYMeGgspnd
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX7w3PX3rb
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHVVbWlZI2
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiAHY3DVPj
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwi5DxHJPt
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY3HUo05Mo
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDSuW18mUJ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d6iFYmVwD
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG4jYM8qXE
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhoftbrjXO
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjpxybufm
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ167GT4gTDC
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VQsAib8TN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNoAYvQgKA
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojM2aTjtKo
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvthONPkcAP
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8dImS7UNN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwgXKvDml2
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNZLRqtr1
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiC7V3aX8
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIuw3Vf7MH
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhHh4jX2Gs
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qqxP1tG0
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2esd71pXK
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkx6aVlOql
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj9n0xwoOZ
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDADATpknB
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu913sP6bRe
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?"113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20845ASFi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ePWAq4FR
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT8Xs4FaCp
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNNZZWRQfs
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUTWVkSqw
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLpd6tv0gW
"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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimqcWHp8ZR
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSn23tdphG
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1tGZmTkdC
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvLaMhgVee
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.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuzhyyEAdY
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh5DqsLjUy
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcboCLaTWt
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRHNgs1qYT
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJOQBCCt03
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FmWFRUBMj
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PaUMUnjgq
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphrU9yUJvL
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4shO6H8qQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCVRulzG4Z
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIH7hP0Nyi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk1Pc1j54O
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrz1iv0lEX
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrQF1s523B
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
