[Pursuer number 1' POV]
As we persuade the man that commander John asked us to persuade, we came across a container, near a deserted area.
"Let's stop here, Let's inform the lady" I said.
"Wait Robert" Said my friend, Lean.
"What is it?"
"Let's catch that guy first"
"Why?"
"The containers in this place cost a fortunate, that guy must be loaded, let's due a bit of… 'interrogation' before we talk to the miss"
"This guy really…"
"Come one man! I have a debt to pay, and I need the money…"
"*Sigh* If the lady gets angry, I won't defend you"
"Haha, thanks bro!"
As Lean walked towards the container. I had to keep an eye if anyone comes.
"*Sigh* this job doesn't pay enough"
I lit a cigarette as I waited for Lean to come out.
Minutes passed.
I looked at my watch; 10 minutes have passed since that guy entered.
"Jesus, this guy is really…"
I walked towards the container.
Funny enough, the place was dark.
'That guy could not even turn the lights on'
When I entered the container….
I saw a pair of bright red eyes looking at me.
As I tried to take my gun. I feel something on my mouth.
"Welcome…"
A voice, that seems to be too deep for a human's one, put something one my nose, when I smell it, I instantly recognized it.
'Chloroform!?'
"Hmm…Hmmm… Hmmmph!"
I tried to escape but a big hand grabbed my head, so I didn't escape.
As my world faded, I saw a smile that went from ear to ear… looking at me.
...............
As I tied the two guys up. I carefully wrapped the cloth and put it back on it's place. As I looked back at the bottle, I furrowed.
'I need another bottle; this one is almost empty…'
I put a note at the back of my mind and turned towards both guys.
'This going to be a bit tricky, these guys are obviously trained, I don't know if they were trained to endure torture though… the worst part is…'
I looked at my watch,
14:40
'Tsk… I only have two hours before I have to pick up Carly. I need to re-arrange my make-up because I have sweat, that would take another 25 minutes, is a 10 minutes trip towards Alexander High school and I have to be there 5 minutes before classes ended. That only left with… one hour and half at most to take some answers from them… I could use chain but I can only use it in a range of 100 meters and give only one order…'
I deactivated [chain] without telling Carly since I needed to went away from the school, of course, she still believes she has it.
With this short period of time, physical torture is not an option… I need to threaten them… but how…
I took out the phone of one the guys and put one of the fingers at the fingerprint detector. The phone was unlocked showing a picture of the man with a woman and a little girl smiling happily.
Good
'This will do'
............…..
[Robert's POV]
"Wake up"
As I feel the voice of someone calling, my eyes opened with difficulty.
When I woke up, I saw the face of middle-aged man smiling at me.
"Hey there… Robert, right?"
"Who… are you?" I asked.
"Me? A nobody really, just a very concern dad. I wanted to know why did you two suddenly decided to follow me, but it seemed that somebody else already told me the answer~"
The man showed me my phone and the chat with commander Jhon appeared.
"John, that's the guardian's name, right?"
"…"
"I don't have much time, so let's make this quick"
The man passes me my phone.
"I need you to tell John that there was something unusual and you need back up, tell him to come here"
"Ha!" I could only laugh at the guy.
"You think I would betray commander John? Fuck off, do your best, eventually, they will know that we are missing and will send someone to help"
"I though so" Said the man.
However, the smile on his face never left.
The man stood up and extended his hand towards me.
"[Chain]"
Suddenly, I felt something wrapping around my neck as a black mark appeared in it.
"My order is… [Tell you daughter to come here]!"
As if I wasn't the owner of my body, I pick up the phone from the man's hand and dictated the phone of my daughter.
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
"Daddy?"
"Sweetheart, I am going to tell you an address, I need you to take a taxi and come"
"Ha? Why daddy?"
"Just come sweetheart"
"Okay daddy"
"The direction is…"
After I told her the address I hang out. Then, as I recover my senses, I looked at the man, who was looking at his watch.
"What did you do to me!?" I shouted.
"Well, since you won't collaborate, I would have to take some… drastic measures"
"FUCK YOU! SHE HS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!?"
The man only lifted his shoulders and put a tape on my mouth.
"Hmmm! Hmmph! Hmm!"
The man looked at the clock once more.
"25 minutes at most before she gets here"
Looking at the twisted smile of the man, I couldn't help but tremble.
............…..
After 20 minutes of waiting, I heard steps coming towards me.
'Just in time'
I walked towards the front of the container, took a board and write a name on it, and left.
I walked towards the entrance and saw a cab at the distance.
I lifted my board with the name 'Michelle' on it.
The cab parked in front of me and young woman with a high school uniform came out.
"Excuse me, are you miss Michelle?" I asked.
"Yes, that's me…" Said the girl.
"Hi… my name is Hector; I am one of Robert's subordinates. He asked me to escort to where he is"
"Why didn't he come?"
"He is too busy you see" I smiled.
"Dad… always like that…"
The girl nodded and followed me back to the container.
"Your dad is waiting for you" I said.
The girl nodded and entered the container. I followed behind.
"Dad!?"
"HMMM!!!!"
"[Chain]"
I used chain on the girl, who grabbed her neck while black gas appeared.
"HMMM, HMMMHN!" Robert twisted on his chair.
I stood behind her and grabbed her head.
"My order is… [you will run towards the way my finger point to whenever you heard me say 'run']"
The girl in a lifeless state nodded.
After a couple of seconds, she woke up and looked me with terror.
"Who are you!? What are you doing to my dad!?"
I didn't answer and turned towards Robert.
"I want you to see something fun"
I pointed towards the other side of the container.
"Run"
In a second, Michelle run towards the other side of the container while I turned the chair of Robert.
When she reached the end of the container, she suddenly kneeled.
"AHHHHHHH!" She screamed of pain as her eyes started bleeding.
"HMMM! HMMM! HMMM!"
"Oh yeah, sorry about that" I said while I took the tape out of his mouth.
"PLEASE! PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!" She shouted.
"Sure I can~"
I snapped my fingers while carefully taking a step towards Michelle.
The container happens to be 100 meters of width, as long as she at the end of the container and I at the beginning, I only need one step to safe heard. The snap of my fingers was just part of the performance.
I turned towards Robert, who was seeing in horror as his daughter's twisted face of pain
"You know what you must do right?"
"I…"
"Oh! So, you still have doubts… I see, you are quite loyal, I like that kind of people"
I put my fingers together once more.
"DADDY HELP!!!"
As Robert heard his daughter's scream, he bit his lips until they bleed.
"Fine! Fine! I would do it, so don't hurt anymore!"
"Good" I say
I looked at my watch.
'40 minutes, only 50 minutes left'
Barely enough time
