Chapter 10: Mindy's crucible

It had been well over a month since Mindy had been captured by Paul and his group of psychotic soldiers. It had been one month of hellish torture and pain. She hadn't slept, every time she started to drift off they would burst into her room and throw water on her or make her walk around the sewer.

Everyday was the same. She would be forced to drink some weird concoction that made her blood burn like lava. Then it happened, every single fucking day but she was none the wiser At first they took turns but now they force the gun into her hand and make her shoot.

"Mindy please no."

"Please, no."

"Go on, I don't care."

Each time was different but she could never remember the time before, it felt like deja vu but there was no memory. Everyday she would kill Marcus, she would shoot him every single day and it was starting to kill her inside, more every day.

Mindy would then be strapped to a table where Miller would inject her with several chemicals and then show her videos, the objective was to reprogram her mind but the chemicals hurt, her muscles were weak but felt like they're being stretched.

Miller was talking to Paul and Rachel, they were walking through the sewer. It was wet and damp but it had been modified to be a little more sustainable. The lights were working but flickered. They approached a metal door that seemed more like a bank safe. Rachel opened the door, there was a skinny man inside who was crying.

"Time for Mindy's session." Miller said as Rachel grabbed hold of the man. He was kicking and screaming but one punch from Paul fixed that.

"How many enemies does Chris have?" Paul asked as they carried the body through the corridor.

"They're not enemies...They're just people who owed him money." Rachel corrected. It was true, they were all people who either spent too much on drugs or some reporter who got close.

"Is she ready?" Miller asked.

Wesley and Asylum were holding Mindy up, they were pouring the green liquid down Mindy's throat. She coughed it up a few times but they forced it down her, she was exhausted, no energy to fight back. Asylum pulled out a pistol and put it into her hands.

"Kill him." Miller said. Asylum took hold of Mindys hand and aimed it at the prisoner.

"No please, don't...Please." The man begged but despite the man's latino appearance, all she could see was Marcus. Miller had done something to her but to her, he was there.

"Do it." Miller said. Asylum put Mindy's finger to the trigger but then took his hand away. Mindy was stood there with the gun. She fired three times and killed the man which then caused them all to smile.

Mindy was strapped to a table, watching a series of images. Paul was standing next to her, holding a syringe. He forced it into her neck which made her scream, he then leaned over to her.

"Like something out of Clockwork Orange." Paul said as he pointed to the screen. He picked up a very small syringe this time and forced it into her iris. The blue liquid started to drip as he pulled it out and moved to the next eye.

Mindy thought she was going bine but he could still see the screen. She started to breath heavily, she knew what was coming next. An image of Carrie came up, Mindy's heart started to beat quicker. Clips of Carrie using her power and her fighting techniques popped up as well as instructions on how to combat those particular moves.

"Now this will hurt but you should know that by now." Paul said as he put a gum shield into Mindy. He picked up two electric rods and put them together. There was a loud zap which was accompanied by a spark. Mindy started to panic, she tried to scream but couldn't. Paul them slapped them onto her forehead.

Marcus was sat in his office with Sue and Charlie. They were drinking coffee and going over several files.

"So Nemesis didn't put you off this case then?" Marcus asked as he ate a doughnut.

"I think I've survived worse." Sue said. She still had nightmares about the prom, it still haunted her but she managed it.

"I found something." Charlie said as he looked at some blueprints.

"What?" Marcus asked.

"Back when Cold Mountain Penitentiary was first being built, it was located on a series of sewers." Charlie explained. He showed them the blueprints of the sewer system.

"Right." Marcus said as he had a look at them.

"The sewer system was renovated a few years ago and extended. They go all the way to the Benedict Institution and Shawshank. Their funding is being connected due to Vice President Palmer but there is one extra thing." Charlie explained. He had several documents of the merging.

"What?" Sue asked as she scanned them.

"These prisons are being run but Thomas Miller also used to work with and wait for it because this is the bullseye...Michael Driskill." Charlie explained as he got out a photo of the two working together as well as many others.

"Who worked with Stephen." Marcus said as he saw Stephen in the photograph.

"Tommy has been investigating him...I think we should talk to him about this." Sue said as she got out her phone.

"Who do you think I got half of this shit from." Charlie explained.

"What are they doing in the tunnels?" Marcus asked. He was really intrigued with the tunnels, he really wanted to know what they were used for.

Stephen was stood in his office. He was working on a small machine when Shadow Face entered. She walked up to him but she kept his eyes on the machine.

"What is it?" Stephen asked. He turned around and walked towards a table that had a bottle of whisky and several glasses.

"You need to look at Marcus' office." Shadow Face said. He handed her a glass of whisky and walked over to a screen.

"Why?" Stephen asked as he selected the office.

"They know." Shadow Face explained.

Then it is time to move forward with the plan. Alert the Fraternity." Stephen ordered. Shadow Face walked over to his computer and started typing.

"What of them lot?" Shadow Face asked.

"Send in Night Demon...I'll take care of Tommy." Stephen explained. He walked over to a cabinet and looked up at the weapons that he had on display.

He opened the cabinet after finally selecting his weapons. There was his assault rifle and two swords above and below it. He had two pistols that were pointed at each other with a selection of knives. He picked out one of them and walked out of the office.

Tommy and Carrie were walking through the armoury, they were tired but it was the quickest way back to their quarters from the gym.

"So how is Sue? I don't really talk to her because um…You know." Carrie said very awkwardly.

"It's fine. I mean, you did kill me so you do technically owe me." Tommy said as he nudged her to the side and started to laugh.

"I killed you? No, Chris killed you. Do you remember? Oh wait, you were dead." Carrie said as she started to laugh. Tommy was no so impressed but couldn't resist letting out a small one.

"Wow, way to aim low." Tommy said.

"Tommy can I speak to you?" Stephen asked as he walked up behind them.

"Sure." Tommy said as he turned to Stephen.

"I'll catch up with you later." Carrie said as she walked away.

"Yeah." Tommy said as he walked up to Stephen.

"Hey Tommy." Stephen said. The knife was tucked into his trousers, ready to be used.

"What's wrong?" Tommy asked.

"I heard a rumour you were investigating the Fraternity?" Stephen asked. He looked at Tommy, staring him down with his cold eyes.

"Yeah." Tommy said. He knew this would come, he knew Stephen would find out eventually.

"Why?" Stephen asked, trying to get as much information out of him.

"I think they're still active." Tommy explained.

"Wesley killed them all nearly a decade ago...They're no longer in the picture." Stephen replied. He had heard of the massacre but never really associated himself with it.

"Well there is some secret society linking all this together." Tommy said.

"Oh right?" Stephen asked.

"I know you're involved." Tommy said. He pulled a small knife from his pocket and went to stab him but as he did, Stephen raised his hand and the knife stopped in midair. Tommy then could not move, he was frozen.

"Who else knows? Actually it doesn't matter but now I have to tie up my loose ends." Stephen said as he put his hand round Tommy's head, he put his head to his but then pulled back. Tommy knew Stephen didn't want to do what he had to do.

"I thought you were one of us." Tommy said. Stephen pull the knife out and looked at the man in the eye.

"Oh please Tommy, I've been playing this game long before you were even born. The problem is though, as much as I like you...Deep down, I am a hunter." Stephen said as he plunged the knife into Tommy's chest.

Carrie was stood around the corner, watching the ordeal she wanted to cry, she wanted to kill her father but she was going to wait, she had to plan against him.

Well I hope you enjoyed so please review. So Tommy was killed? What do you think should happen next, Marcus was never killed but what are they doing to Mindy? If you have any questions please ask. Until next time, have fun.
