Benimaru drummed his fingers on the desktop impatiently. "The thing is, K',
that we could let you go, but we don't want to, and won't. Quite the
opposite." He leaned forward, and hissed, "There is no ransom."
Pleased with the effect he was having, Benimaru leaned back. K' was obviously angry, but apart from making the water his hands had been dipped in boil, there was nothing he could do.
So Benimaru decided to have a little fun. He reached out, and his hand closed on a iron poker. And he dipped it into the fireplace nearby. This was going to be fun.

"I don't believe it." Whip was on the verge of tears. First her own capture, and now this. Her brother was missing. And if anyone had anything to do with it, it would be those two asses. Maxima and Benimaru.
She felt betrayed. Sure, the rest were trying to do all they could. If they could do anything. Iori, Kyo, Kasumi and Angel were the only ones really up and about. And they weren't in the best of conditions either. It was so infuriating! Why couldn't she do anything? She wanted to help, but it was useless. She was still having trouble walking.
And it seemed as if Terry would never come to his senses. The losses he had suffered had driven the champion fighter insane.
Kensou was still unconscious, though he showed signs of improvement. Athena hovered around him protectively all the time.
And still she couldn't do anything. It was breaking her. More than anything, she needed help.
Whip reached out and dialled a familiar number into the phone.
"Hello?"
Silence.
"Who is this?"
Silence.
"This had better not be a prank call. I'm warning you."
Whip started to sob. "I need you here. now. There's been trouble."
".I'll come right away."
