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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafq70qDjps
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOphu8my5Y
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG78qzSiMu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbgX5piG51
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexsnjCWHGR
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5BGEIuIku
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vHy6dUi48
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49WQ4iemT
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RQLLsXv33
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhtDdwUh0
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLHJI82fX2
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Jyp6s710
"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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IWOxkPQcs
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4sj4vlV84
"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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q6PES55Z1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl30qFHwoT
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0nlH1gWmW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwgPORJWqj
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ROcr4NxtV
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfJBpgX26B
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn8Axj8Qcf
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKgxmRihX
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fvJBQJFHl
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsDHGnHUhL
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNRuk72L8v
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC7nv2mrkX
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQgN6KFXqJ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIRwuPdlUw
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCN6NYPAgu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGig8jDSMTF
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMnXNhTxFD
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCRqUSI4wf
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu5hQz7pc0
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nR6LPxgb8
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cYWCbRAci
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZytmRb0i8
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nfPzV3Jml
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s56tUrNkV
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0H4PU00eH
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFpBz4rdLE
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDwHOQ89mC
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWAa3GHCg9
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps3sSxCRsi
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu11XCbom2B
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni6Qty3KwK
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX6KdLoOVT
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?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrswCAGtoBe
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WrHUOm9hA
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHvG4dIJg3
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGI1n896l5
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmTBvNnQyM
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYiIGLqe66
"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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaxsiD7ELy
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb29JXwU6Vj
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJL32qjRku
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0iZLtPROL
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDIYe062fx
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTeJntPyMI
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLpKe6yrjC
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzEQRePYla
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECuQUJfwmS
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccXIwIuuo9
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FqTdzLFu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVNPBddeeH
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhimqhCVyz1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWBeUejvdD
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyeGDbnKT
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePIwTiEcEy
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXSx3uLAuQ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ooe3LhhBA
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
