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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTutDSBxeT
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdxOi2roar
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMzd8fi2QJ
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyEo6BCGWb
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ501qIgQ1aD
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sRE3CZXth
Ethan glared daggers at her torturer from his vantage point. He ignored the trickle of blood flowing down his leg.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqHWSd67eI
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZwG5m84q
"Do I have your attention?" The man spoke in a deep voice.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6AxZxsezI
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9StpuV4fV
Ethan simply continued glaring at the man. Unsatisfied, the man hit some button on the remote and Hanna cried out in pain.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRVLCd81Y4
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3F0cmXWTw
"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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv3W08fhEY
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA7F6YPMce
"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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1JThhEY9l
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0yYtMP49s
Ethan nodded cooperatively, trying to avoid Hanna getting another shock.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePq5Y8gtJ
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKg9W4Zm6a
The older man's smirk widened. "Maybe we should reconsider training after all."165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwJxjWSoMH
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SCoLbYhnb
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYPU293G0t
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMitytQurma
"First question, where are the other Charax hiding o ut?" The interrogator asked him sternly.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP4plpflzi
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD2vT5nWt9
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuRo9BV7lE
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHKifyOSXo
"Wrong answer." Their captor dialled up the collar until Hanna cried out in pain.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q44CBIBL7
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDHqCEks4i
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFCUA4gdIV
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtsB8PUOh5
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTFhu0cso4
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOAAFS095c
His head was spinning so much that he ended up collapsing to his knees. "Please stop," Ethan begged quietly.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzLRL20c60
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGfqevlADd
The man finally turned it off, a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I told them this would work. Now answer the question."165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3auSwDuhx
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkhheWONtD
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OIt2Xc60v
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjWHnbWneq
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScNsPFnvnV
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj1y9v6NKR
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMBp0nIt4n
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyuo8mJoy
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqarvpca32z
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ts1683XNa
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlixZ5CcET9
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZT1rWkHen
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?"165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtXzp8JWfw
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU777KGkCk
Hanna took a small step back. "I'm fine." She assured him with a small smile. She started examining the stolen keyring.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKHLufKNfq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B7AaqUWr5
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfgVBp4Pbc
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebVexZD8r
"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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHXLsVh5DT
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80LbCro2a2
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tnO3fGpnK
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKlsNjRHXG
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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpImkZat897
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWIbf2IcqL
"Dammit," Hanna muttered, looking at his bloody ankle.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFGxTZP7Qp
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8DYuBfph8
Ethan started tying the bloody strips of cloth into a makeshift bandage. "It's shallow, I'll be able to walk on it."165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv7j3bxS5S
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxrj9g35aH
"It's running I'm more concerned about," Hanna said worriedly. "Otherwise, how are you feeling?"165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb27Unxi3Mq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew5jtvEl6W
"Better, not dizzy," Ethan answered, rubbing his forehead.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyFcdBKqbx
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OcwHx6IU
"Lightheaded?" Hanna studied him, observing how his symptoms had gone down, how he appeared to be stronger now.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgBTg5N6yq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsMnFe1Ols
Ethan finished up the bandage. It was a mess but hopefully it wouldn't have to last long anyways. "A bit. It's manageable."165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmghqOXzRCB
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXyh4EYI1n
Hanna smiled broadly. Step one complete, she thought. "Let's get out of here then."
