Shortest chapter evur. Y'all are going to hate me because this is all to build suspense, but hey, new chapter should be up in a few days. Ahaha, again I'm sorry.
"Wake-up," a honey thick voice cooed.
"Unnn," Lelouh moaned his eyes fluttering open slowly, Was I dreaming this entire time? Shouldn't I be dead?
Out of focus, in focus. Lelouch looked around the room he was in. It was a tiny room, clear walls that connected to other clear walls as well as a hallway. He noted he was strapped to a surgical bed that was against the wall. The ceiling was equipped with shower heads for fires and the floor had a drain.
The bed he was strapped down to moved being vertically against the wall to being horizontal. Lelouch squinted against the lights. Two hands tied a long strip of fabric over his eyes.
"How am I still alive?" Lelouch sighed. He could sense Monica's figure hovering over him; a gloved hand caressed his face.
"Because Suzaku is an idiot. I don't even remember the lie I told Gino to tell him, but I can't believe you fell for it." Monica's polite smile returned, but her eyes danced wildly.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Well, as you may know, the Emperor wants you alive and he's going to wipe your memory clean and then you'll be free to go. The Emperor thinks marking you as missing is a way to prevent the Black Knights from drawing too much blood, but that's just a lie. There's politics behind this because as you must know, the Black Knights are nothing without you. So my plan is to kill you here and sell you to black market organ seller. I gave him instructions to deliver your body to the Black Knights and then their little rebellion will be put down for good. The problem with you is…you're a symbol to them. Any possibility of your life gives them hope for the future. So to kill a movement you have to kill a symbol."
"How poignant," Lelouch muttered.
"I'm rather proud of how I conducted this scheme. Since your first day here, I've been gathering allies for this operation. I've got to hand it to you; you've managed to help me out. Anyways, I'm sure you can guess who was involved in this operation or you will once I tell you the story. I sort of lucked out at first because Lelouch and Gino missed the briefing we received prior to your arrival. I slipped a couple lies to Gino who spread them to Suzaku which I'm glad stunted your escape attempts. So, I've been going to the infirmary more and more to gather more help for this mission of mine. Obviously, I had a doctor and a nurse on my side from day one. The guy who watches the security camera in your room wouldn't budge, but once you seduced hi-
"Don't say that! I did no such thing!"
Monica rolled her eyes, "Don't interrupt." There was a pause and guaze was shoved into Lelouch's mouth followed by duct tape sealing his mouth.
"Now, listen up. After you seduced him, I just had to figure out the times he left to spend with you. At first, he was careful and didn't spend much time away. But as time passed, he spent every moment he could with you. During which time, I copied footage from you doing absolutely nothing which I'm looping right now as another ally cleans up the room getting rid of my DNA traces, but I have no idea when lover boy one or lover boy two will figure out you're gone. Not that it matters, this room is used for torture and it's not surveyed at all. All I have to do is inject you with poison and I'm done. Only problem is I need to wait for that damned black market guy and he's taking too long. If that gives you a glimmer of hope, I'm sorry to inform you that once someone enters here, I'm killing you. I worked hard to keep my identity a secret, but if the Emperor fines me for treason, at least I can die knowing I killed public menace number one."
