"Open the door." Nero ordered "And stay near." he knew the prisoner inside was very dangerous from distant experience and didn't want to take any chances with him escaping. That would wreak havoc on the whole school and jeopardize the school's entire safety were he to leave and announce the school's location to his associates.
The guard nodded and pressed the switch to open the door. It slid open with a hiss of escaping air. Nero walked in slowly, eyes narrowed. The cell was wasn't particularly large for safety reasons only.
Pietor Furan looked up, his eyes glaring although he had no idea who would have been there in the first place. He just glared.
"Nero." he said darkly, eyes dark and murderous, much what Nero had experienced with one particular student of the Furan's many years back, only she was not that cold at heart.
"Furan." Nero nodded.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Pietor spat, without a hint of fear.
"Good to see you too." Nero sniffed.
"Are you serious? What are you doing?" Pietor looked furious. His hands were cuffed the wall and he was kept in the most escape proof cell H.I.V.E. had to offer.
"What do you mean?" Nero asked calmly, quite sure he knew the answer.
"Why did you capture me?" Pietor snapped "I was absolutely nowhere near you or this pathetic school. What are you doing?"
"Unless you have a short-term memory, I believe you were leading an attack on our G.L.O.V.E. base in Russia." Nero replied coldly.
"WHAT!" Pietor yelled, outraged "Are you mad! What are you talking about?"
Nero narrowed his eyes "You were seen at the Russian base exactly two days ago with several armed men. Do you deny?"
"No I don't, but we were not going for G.L.O.V.E.'s precious base!"
"Explain," Nero ordered, waving a hand at his loud voice.
"I was on a damn mission." Pietor growled furiously "We were attacking the missile base of the Siberian force."
"What? Why? I thought you, Mr. Furan, were in lead with them." Nero replied.
"I am, Mr. Nero," Pietor said, his voice like ice "For access reasons only. So we can gain their secrets to attack."
"You're betraying them?" Nero asked in disbelief.
"Of course!" Pietor said, through clenched teeth. "The only reason I ever joined was to break them from the core."
"I see. " Nero nodded slowly. Pietor glared, hostility still prickling off him.
"If what you say is true, then I apologize for the accusation." Nero said coolly.
"Aceepted." Pietor growled. "Now let me out of here."
Nero felt slightly taken aback at his politeness, but did not hesitate.
"Unfortunately, I can't do that." he said "You pose far too great a threat. Not to mention, you oppose everything I stand for and what I do."
Pietor's eyes widened in rage and disbelief "How dare you! I wasn't threatening G.L.O.V.E. I'm not even threatening it now!"
"Which won't last long, now will it?" Nero replied.
"This is unjustified and I know your pathetic council would agree." Pietor snapped.
"Many of the things you do are greatly unfair. Pietor." Nero said "I'm sure Natalya would agree."
Pietor sniffed "You're a fool, Max if you think my sister will stand for this."
"I have no doubts she won't." Nero said sternly "But sadly she has no idea where this school is and neither do you even."
"Anastasia will find you." Pietor said defiantly "Obviously you don't know her at all."
"Perhaps not." Nero said calmly "But even in the most amazing miracle for you that she located my school, our defenses would not be beaten."
"Our men would flatten yours." Pietor growled.
"If you want to believe that you may." Nero said pointedly "But let's not forget Natalya. She's mine to command, not yours."
"I wonder how she'd feel if she heard that coming from your mouth." Pietor said.
"She'd agree." Nero replied, his voice hardening.
"If you want to believe that, you may." Pietor said with a slight sneer.
"Careful." Nero warned "I might just hand you over to her now."
"Do it." the assassin invited "See how well it works out. I trained her. Do you think she could beat me?"
"I believe so, yes."
"Then do it." Pietor challenged.
"Not yet." Nero turned to leave.
"You won't keep me here, Max!" Pietor shouted after him.
Nero ignored it as he walked out and down the hall. He turned the corner and almost careened into Raven, who was hurrying in the opposite direction. They both leaned back and apologized in unison.
"What did he say?" Raven asked, nodding at the cell. Her eyes were mildly curious and a little concerned.
"He informed me that he was not attacking the G.L.O.V.E. base, but the missile base in Siberia." Nero said.
Raven's eyebrows creased in confusion. "Do you believe him?"
"Strangely, I do." Nero replied.
"Are you letting him go?" she asked, trying to keep her voice emotionless.
"Not yet. Even if he wasn't attacking G.L.O.V.E., he is still a threat to us." Nero said softening his voice slightly. "He isn't the type of dog I want loose yet."
Raven laughed breathily, but her eyes betrayed unsettlement. Nero casually guided her away from the cell and up the stairs, trying to distract her.

Pietor stared at the ground of the cell, eyes cold and calculating. He would get out of here. He had not been attacking G.L.O.V.E.'s base and he did not deserve to be kept here. He knew her had to get back home and to his sister before it was too late. He had not gone through all the trouble he had just to watch her die because he had been captured.
