Brian was starting to get desperate. The room had only one small window in which not even his arm would pass and the door was locked from outside. Even worse, the annoying noise that came to a speaker positioned in the ceiling was killing him. He couldn't bear that noise anymore. He would've destroyed it, but he couldn't reach it. According to what he could see of the room where he was at with the small portion of light that entered through the window, it was full of pipes and boxes. Everything indicated that he was in a warehouse. He had opened some of those boxes and found none other than yellow cake uranium. 'If I get out of here, I'll take some of this to give Stewie', the dog thought. Suddenly, the door opened and the Japanese man who talked to him earlier entered.
-Are you having fun? – The Japanese man asked.
Brian noticed that when the man entered, the noise had stopped. He wondered if he should try to attack him and run, even though he didn't know where he was and how many men were outside guarding him. His thoughts were interrupted by the man in front of him.
-I know what you're thinking and if you do it, you'll regret it-the man said, showing the gun that he kept hidden by his coat. – Even though there's a high chance that you won't see the sun rising ever again anyway, unless you give us the contacts we need to ask for a ransom.
-Never – was Brian's raspy answer.
-You rather keep that kid's identity secret than save yourself? –The Japanese man asked clearly surprised. Brian said nothing, so he continued speaking. – I admire your loyalty, but that won't work for me and my boys. We want money and we'll get it one way or another.
The man left leaving the dog by himself, one more time. Brian knew that he would come back demanding to know the information he needed for a ransom, but he wouldn't reveal a single thing that could lead them to Stewie or put him in danger. If Brian died in the hands of those men, he'd die with his conscience clean, his only regret would be not telling Stewie how he felt.
While the dog was thinking, the Japanese man had went to get a little something that he believed would help the dog revealing the information he wanted.
The man reentered the room, having with him a rope and a box. He dropped the box on top of one of the others that were already in the room, took his gun from under his jacket, pointed it at Brian and got closer to the dog.
-Put your hands next to your body – the Japanese man ordered. Since a gun was being pointed at him, Brian had no other choice than obeying. –Very good. Now, turn around. – Again, Brian obeyed without protesting or letting out a snarl. – Start spinning. – Brian did as he was told and immediately found himself restrained by the rope, which the man had knotted behind his back in a very tight knot.
-What are you going to do to me? – Brian asked, not sure if he really wanted to know.
-Since you don't seem to want to cooperate, we're going to force you to do it – was the man's answer. Brian swallowed dry when he heard those words. – I'm sure our Mind Destroyer will be enough encouragement for you – the man announced. Brian felt like he was going to pass out at any moment. 'God, please, if I don't survive, make sure that nothing happens to Stewie', the dog knew he was really desperate when he started praying. He wouldn't mind being tortured or killed as long as Stewie wouldn't be in danger.
The Japanese man grabbed the box and took something from inside. That something appeared to be blue with a white button and have a plastic platform attached to it. In the device it was written 'WhiteLight'. As soon as Brian saw it, he recognized it.
-Is that teeth whitening? – The dog asked, clearly surprised. –Your mind destroyer is teeth whitening?- He asked one more time, this time in a mocking tone.
-Yes, yes it is – the Japanese man confirmed. – Laugh all you want, dog, later we'll see who's still laughing! – The man threatened. – Open your mouth! – He ordered.
The man tried to put the teeth whitening device in the dog's mouth, but as soon as he could reach the man's hand, the dog bit it.
-OUCH! – He screamed in agony.
The man took a few steps back and took balance to run towards the dog and catch him by surprise, hitting him in the head with his gun. During the few seconds of dizziness that Brian went through, the thief put the teeth whitening device in the dog's mouth. To stop the animal of spitting it out, he covered his mouth with a filthy rag. Brian tried to snarl, but the rag wouldn't let the sound come out properly.
-Would you like to know why we're doing this to you? – The man asked, but immediately continued speaking, since Brian wouldn't be able to answer with the rag in his mouth. – That teeth whitening device is improved to whiten the teeth even quicker and with a bigger efficacy. We're going to let you here a few hours and then we'll come back with a mirror. We'll open your mouth and make it reflect in the mirror, reflecting the light directly to your eyes and blinding you, unless you tell us what we want to know – When he finished talking, the man laughed maliciously and left. Tears started running down Brian's cheeks and the only coherent thought in his brain was 'Stewie'.
