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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzHjantSsT
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUF4GOmCfD
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJFfUUSHVH
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLz2NMnHE2
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9BB7kfpwO
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Iw0rkDg4U
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR8kYc7cew
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0XmtcO2cP
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35So5ujVSB
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbwaq9jIwb
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsGriJIyEU
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bsTucoxRA
"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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfEh1uWtnf
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrDh6CKTiA
"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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagySitYVN3
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRHzzPjWxf
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNYG5iJdBt
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYn2S6WhYM
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw957whZln
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokAfNQrhDh
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFrPvL2OV8
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVYbifaRNN
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2VjkOCAIq
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QjYiGSGnc
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJAWvCzA7k
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1V88fw8MW
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXqWgPM8eb
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDZXBc4tq
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG13TPOZLxV
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSwwHlA1FC
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJDqGT0HvG
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwJDS8U52s
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBaNExl5zk
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16rdJq5Oo
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkTcOv3Ul9
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQ7qi2Uus
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlRdbY7Lb9
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOmdkqbQO
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9JV1B23p0
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0PiQLLr48
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4SEjenm0Y
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMc2MxvckI
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLZHAa8Z8Z
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUczI1gw2WY
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQN3nPMFvP
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdreOyppmWG
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?"91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARvHZGyaFg
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsuSXWmP5U
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj3Q4cyXbu
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQajxkHIUv4
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwJS3gfXb5
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9k4nYFGjg
"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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRSSuXHtVk
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5A3QJ7h8x
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZvyiEV1BS
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKu8SXuWhP
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.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCerGn0ZSjl
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD7PfbUFBr
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvymNcSNco
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOjBGsfgkb
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhpuLDGlBh
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJFhuuO7ES
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MlzehIKD8
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm352O83Uv7
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBwbOlavLI
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IVvV8TEm4
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TpJakW4uj
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeVUSttIZN
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qyVeBK1c
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n6kYzDwH1
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
