Back in the jail cell, Rosella was still sleeping, but her sleep wasn't going to last much longer because the Rockets had other plans for her. The next thing she knew she was being shaken roughly awake by the Executive who had put her in the cell, on his boss's orders. When Rosella was awake, the Executive unlocked the chain that was around her right wrist and then seized her left hand and pulled her roughly to her feet and forced her to come with him. As they walked to the Boss's office, the Executive told her why she was being taken out of her cell.
He said, "Rosella, the only reason I took you out of your cell is because my boss demanded that I bring you to him. He has some sort of a proposition to make to you, and he wanted to talk to you about it."
As soon as he finished speaking we arrived at the boss's office. I was instructed by the Executive to sit on a wooden chair. I sat, and the Executive then took a rope and tied me securely to the chair. As soon as I was tied up, the Executive walked over to the entrance to the office and stood there. Giovanni then stood up from his desk chair and began talking to me.
He began by saying, "Rosella, I know you don't like being put under these circumstances, but to get what we want, we must. Now see it this way, it will all end and you will no longer be hurt by us when……"
He paused to take a sip of his drink before he continued, "You join us." He gave me a malicious sort of smile and I felt like he had another reason, that he wanted something from me.
It wasn't long until he spoke again, "Rosella, what I want from you is that you join us and that you use your psychic powers to make Team Rocket the conquerors of the world".
He then laughed like a crazed maniac before he turned back to me and asked, "So what do you say?"
I replied briskly, "I'll never join you, and I won't use my psychic powers for you!"
Giovanni strode forward and slapped me hard across my right cheek, before he growled, "Very well, you have made your decision and I have no further need for you at the moment."
Then he screamed, "TODD, TAKE HER BACK TO HER CELL AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST FIVE GUARDS ON DUTY IN THE DETENTION BLOCK."
The Executive replied, "Yes boss."
Then he untied me and seized my left hand and jerked me to my feet a lot rougher than he had done the first time, and led me out of his boss's office and back into the detention block.
Now he put the chin back around my right wrist and then he left, closing and locking the cell door as he went.
As I heard his footsteps fade off into the distance, I couldn't help but ask myself, "How long will it be before I'm rescued?"
With that question running through my mind I lay back down on the cot and went back to sleep.
