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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsmWU1cKPW
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjXfJUDdZF
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEE1DZtsUd
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf8L6q4mgS
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSv3cJaSqb
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpOlYqDk0
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5zEqsRU4j
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU3iag94kF
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiwGFM4ha0
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3uXOL0GHs
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6purwYVHV6
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS2fx9MKjK
"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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvNluzwQV3
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z6OIXnuSY
"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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA8Cv8ncnQ
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSym77DGqaY
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3fKMDEae
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKu0tqBap
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKth1f0h18
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQlkJRdtZF
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQaEypeNkA
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUEAhGb2XB
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmv3D78gDr
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDiLzu5grJ
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASWZmorK09
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jWZ9P99Cs
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ipZF62pXX
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDj1UBmTNE
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uzDju32wT
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo4yp6xuMU
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUlnj9Zk6J
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvao1OHKdG
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtTGQeOeCm
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCZK7rJwTv
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nOcdgTlQu
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96gXCQNw0P
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ko825aUxt
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2JOhIC3Iu
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq8T07itAv
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e0TXu9oMk
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzjUs2YAMM
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTriPxqF21O
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC23L6e5xU
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPh6VpsCZ8
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFVU6iIiEY
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnLNXqLzYG
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?"166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wHwWbh2uw
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLa0SeR2T
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hiaRsoFoy
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHEmUaGk4B
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQGOsDWkg
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AlPHzuR3o
"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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJzuQux3n0
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysckU8Dctq
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5GSUxcRHu
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAc57xZ1ly
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.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaQl3Hfkog
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIMLEOcNS0
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEUVJYTS36
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RiqAvbVRT
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EzRj3DuRK
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipB8EwCYVp
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIPTM8qZLN
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sVlkdYrmY
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw4cVTDxwe
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauEmsp1US4
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp6I5zcAPw
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNao7ZqLYgs
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYTFFwhSw7
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjasQ8wo4W
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
