What Just Happened?

By Kole

Stephanie Plum was working at her desk at Rangeman when she heard Cal talking to Hector about the man they had in the interrogation room. He was saying how nobody could get him to talk, not even Ranger. They had tried everything and they just couldn't get the information out of him.

Stephanie decided that maybe she could help and so she made her way to the interrogation room everyone was crowded around.

Ranger, Tank, Lester, and Bobby were inside the room and almost half of Rangeman was watching threw the window. Stephanie knocked on the door then walked right in.

"Babe, what are you doing in here?" Ranger asked, not liking the fact that his Babe was going to see what they had done to the man let alone that he couldn't even get him to talk.

"I heard what was going on, thought I would come check it out." she answered.

"I don't think there is much you can do, Beautiful." Lester told her. Stephanie just smiled at Lester.

"Well, it wouldn't hurt to let me try. Now, would it?" she asked.

The four men looked at each other, as if talking silently, while Stephanie studied the bloody and beaten man tied to a chair in front of her.

"Go ahead, Babe." Ranger said. The men did not leave the room, they just watched as Steph made her way over to the prisoner.

She walked up to him and stared at him for a moment, then she leaned over and started whispering in his ear. The man's eyes widened the longer she whispered to him and the men wondered what she could possibly be saying to him. She started to pull away, then leaned back in and whispered to the prisoner for a few more seconds. When she was done whispering to the man, Stephanie walked out of the room.

The man was visibly shaking and looked terrified.

"I'll tell you anything you want! Just please don't let her hurt me!" The man pleaded with Ranger. Ranger, Tank, Lester, and Bobby all looked at each other shocked, then looked at the door that Stephanie had just exited.

"What just happened?" Tank asked.
