Chapter 7: Torture
"So…were you able to capture him?", Cassandra asked.
"No, but I got his girl…", answered Jeffrey with a smirk.
"His girl? You mean…Joanna Dark?"
"Yes. Even if he wasn't there, it won't be long before he shows himself to save her"
"If you think so…Now, we must regain the old man's trust. Try to make her say information about him so if the old man has a doubt, you'll just have to use those information to make him believe you", instructed Cassandra.
"I'm sure she'll kept her mouth shut", replied Jeffrey.
"If it is the case, I allow you to do everything you want to make her talk but I don't want you to kill her", Cassandra said.
"Good…make people talk is my speciality", replied Jeffrey with a smirk.
It was maybe 11 o'clock. Jonathan was outside near the invisible ship and was looking at the half-full moonlight (and was drinking a beer). He knew that he wasn't going to sleep tonight. He was too worried and a bad voice (the voice that always make you remember the thing you want to forget) never stopped to tell him 'she is kidnapped because of you…it's you that wanted to go there even if you were sure it was a trap …" Nathaniel was the last one that was able to talk to her before they lost contact. The only thing he knew is that the man he heard wasn't from the police…it was a criminal. He also noticed the man was unknown by Nathaniel so it wasn't Herbert. Jonathan wondered what happened to him since the last time they saw each other, but his thought were quickly replaced by something more important… something he felt stupid to not understand before… Their only enemies that are in a state to harm them are Datadyne and Jeffrey. Jonathan hadn't any doubts anymore: it couldn't be anyone else than Jeffrey. Datadyne weren't wasting their time capturing people, if someone could harm them, they would finish him in the quickest way possible if they can. No, it couldn't be Datadyne…Cassandra probably has more important priorities than kidnap people. Who else would want to capture him…maybe the government of USA but they didn't even have the right to do researches in England…they weren't allies anymore since a while.
He decided that the person he should visit first was Velvet. She was Joanna's sister after all, she had the right to know what happened to her sister. Jonathan didn't wanted to use his CI communicator. It was the only way of communication he thought would be secure but he was wrong. The man who talked to Joanna and Nathaniel intercepted through the communicator… The most secure way to contact her was face-to-face. He just hoped her parents wouldn't cause him any troubles.
Joanna slowly opened her eyes. She had a terrible headache and she had a kind of chemical taste in her mouth. She realized she was tied to a chair. Then she remembered the past events.
"Did you sleep well Jo", asked Jonathan with a smile.
"Wha…Jonathan? Where am I? What's happening? Why am I tied on a chair?", asked Joanna with a confused tone.
Joanna looked at Jonathan more closely and understood.
"…You're not Jonathan…", commented Joanna.
"Congratulation miss Dark", replied Jeffrey with a smirk.
"Why are you imitating Jonathan…what kind of stupid thing are you planning", asked Joanna with an annoyed tone.
"Don't be afraid…you'll know very soon", answered Jeffrey.
"…what do you want me for…", asked Joanna that wasn't sure if she would like his answer.
"We want to know where's your friend", replied Jeffrey.
"What friend? I have a lot of friend you know", retorted Joanna.
"Don't make me waste my time…I'm talking about Jonathan of course", answered Jeffrey with an irritated tone.
"……………"
"Tell me or I'll have to use the 'funny technique'. It's funny for me… but not for you", Jeffrey said.
"I'll bring the secret in my tomb. I'll never dare to tell his location", replied Joanna.
Jeffrey sighed. Torturing people was funny to him, especially woman, but he was sure this was going to take a while before she says anything.
"Fine…security, bring her in the 'torture room'. She's making me waste my time", Jeffrey said with an annoyed tone.
Jonathan arrived in front of the Dark family's house. He knew that it would be useless to infiltrate the house secretly; James would probably notice his presence. He just hoped that Velvet was going to answer to the door. He knocked to the door. Jonathan began to be so worried that he decided to hide and only show himself if Velvet was the one to respond. Someone opened the door. It was James Dark.
"………………."
"There's no reason to hide…I know you're here, Jonathan", James said with a slightly mocking tone.
"…How did you know? And why don't you want to kill me or something?", asked Jonathan as he showed himself.
"I think you already noticed there was cameras in this house…and I don't want to harm you because I know you're not the killer…", responded James.
"…I…I was sure you were going to be happy that I was accused for murder…I think that you hated the guys that were shorter than you", commented Jonathan.
"Haha…I'm not that superficial. I think you're confounding me with Becky. Where's Joanna anyway?" asked James.
"I…I came to talk to you about her", answered shyly Jonathan.
"What happened? Come in and explain yourself", replied James.
Joanna was brought in another room and was tied on another chair…a more terrifying chair. It was probably electrical. Jeffrey smirked as he looked at Joanna.
"I'll ask you a last time…will you tell me Jonathan's location…or do you prefer to live the worst sufferance you've never felt?", asked Jeffrey.
"……………….."
"Okay then…be ready for the pain that is coming", replied Jeffrey.
Joanna remembered the course of the Carrington Institute she followed to become an agent. If someone tortures you and that you cannot flee, you must never show that you're suffering and never, in any case, tell anything about what they want to know…
Jeffrey went in front of a kind of panel. He pressed a button and a big electrical noise was heard. It only took a few seconds for the machine to work and an impressive electrical charge penetrated Joanna's body. The pain was so intense that she didn't realized how she yelled loudly.
"No…this can't be!", exclaimed Velvet.
"Yes it is…Joanna had been kidnapped", Jonathan said shamefully.
"You look like you were guilty of what happened", commented James.
"I…well…the place where she went was the location 'someone' was supposed to tell her how I could be proved innocent. Of course…it was a trap", replied Jonathan.
"And you never thought it could be dangerous…you were sure this person wanted to help you?", James asked.
Becky stayed silent and looked at Jonathan hatefully. She probably considered him as a burden for Joanna.
"No…I was just unsure. I had a doubt it could be a trap but what if this person had really been someone that could help me?", replied Jonathan.
"Why didn't you go there by yourself? Aren't you supposed to be an agent?", asked James with a gaze that was hiding very well his anger.
"…I wanted to go but…Joanna wanted to go by herself. She thought she could be able to handle this guy. It wasn't the case it seems", commented Jonathan.
"…What are we going to do? Do you have an idea of where she could be?", asked Velvet.
"I'm almost sure that Jeffrey is behind this…Nathaniel heard through the communicator that the person wanted to see me so Jeffrey is probably using Joanna to make me come to his hiding place. The problem is that I don't have a bloody idea where he is", answered Jonathan.
"…Jeffrey…Are talking about Jeffrey Wallace?", asked James.
"I don't know what is his family name. The only thing that I know is that he almost looks the same as me", answered Jonathan.
"I think I know of who you're talking about…Does he have a green eye?", asked James.
"Yes"
I already heard about him. Jeffrey Wallace already killed his fiancée. I remembered he had a green eye because we don't see this everyday. This guy recently joined himself to Datadyne corp. Velvet explained me why you weren't sure you were the killer of 15 people and talked to me about this boy", answered James.
"How did you knew he was working for Datadyne corp.?", asked Jonathan with a surprised tone.
"I asked Siegfried to do researches about this guy. We discovered that he is using different family names all the time and that he was a new employee of Datadyne. We also saw on Datadyne secret folder that Samantha and Herbert aren't part of the employees anymore. Of course, Samantha is dead but we don't have any idea why Herbert isn't there anymore. We also noticed that Jeffrey is occupying Herbert's post", explained Velvet.
"Does that mean Cassandra De Vries fired Herbert and replaced him by Jeffrey?", asked curiously Jonathan.
"Not necessarily. I know who your father is. He never liked Cassandra De Vries. He worked there because of the big salary he had and a bit because of Samantha. Now that she is dead, maybe that he didn't wanted to stay there anymore", answered James.
"Herbert isn't my father", replied Jonathan abruptly.
"Yes he is. Don't you think I didn't knew he was your biological father?", answered James.
"Maybe biologically but not psychologically. Did you know he already tried to kill me during my sleep?", retorted Jonathan.
"Will you just stop arguing? Joanna is maybe being tortured right now and the only thing two experienced agents can do is arguing? I knew that you two were lawyers, but I didn't thought that you loved your first job that much", Becky said with an annoyed tone.
Jonathan and James exchanged gazes. Jonathan wasn't a lawyer at all and James well…wasn't really either.
"We'll have to infiltrate Datadyne corp.…again…", said Jonathan with an exasperated tone.
"…I want to go with you. I've been kept away for awhile because of…well…can I come?", asked Velvet with a tone full of hope.
" Of course you can…We'll make a unerring plan… this time, I don't any failure in any way. We'll be a lot to participate, we'll be organized and ready to confront any kind of situation", answered Jonathan with a determined tone.
"If you allow me suggestions, you should consult someone very experienced that could really be useful to you and that would want to participate to this mission", suggested James.
"Really? Do you have names of people that could help us?", asked Jonathan curiously.
"This person truly wants to help you because his daughter had been kidnapped and he wants to see her alive again", retorted James with an annoyed tone.
"…You mean YOU! I'm sorry to not understand before, I'm such an imbecile sometimes", replied Jonathan with an embarrassed tone.
"I already noticed", responded James with a slight smile.
Jonathan looked at him with a falsely offended look. James smiled to him.
"So… we should begin our work shall we?", suggested James.
Joanna couldn't bear the pain anymore. This was the third time Jeffrey was electrocuting her. She wasn't feeling her legs anymore and she felt like all her organs had been burned by the electrical shock. She had a sore throat because she shouted too much. Jeffrey was looking at her with his eternal smirk.
"You seem to like the electrical shocks. I have a bad news for you…I cannot give you electrical shock anymore or you'll have permanent damage. But don't worry…I'll find another way to make you suffer", Jeffrey said like he was talking to a child.
"……………….."
"Security, bring her to a prisoner cell. She need to rest", Jeffrey said with a smirk.
"…You'd better kill me now…I won't…I won't t-tell anything anyway", Joanna said with a weak tone.
"Kill you would only put an end to your suffering…this is not what I want, Joanna. You're pain will only increase if you don't tell me Jonathan's location now", replied Jeffrey.
Joanna spitted in his face. Jeffrey was rabid by what Joanna dared to do. He looked at her with a furious gaze. The guards took Joanna and brought her out of the torture room. Jeffrey held one of the guards inside the room.
"Would you like to have some fun tonight?", asked Jeffrey with a grin.
"Fun is always welcome", responded the guard with an idiotic tone.
"The girl…I allow you to have as much fun as you want with her…if you know what I mean", whispered Jeffrey.
"…cool…thanks sir", replied the guard.
"And…after you'll be finished…tell the other guards the same thing I told you…them too have the right to have a good time", murmured Jeffrey.
"Yes sir"
During the preparation of the plan to infiltrate Datadyne
Jonathan and James were preparing the plan. Velvet contacted the CI employees that could help them. The atmosphere in the house was tense. It just became worst when Becky opened the TV.
"Sorry to interrupt the TV show 'Love is in the air'. We have a special report of very important information. Jonathan Fraser had been proved innocent from the crime he had been accused for. A video showed us that Mr Fraser isn't the killer. The most suspected person for now is Jeffrey Wallace that cannot be found right now. Jonathan Fraser used this occasion to tell to the media that he made an alliance with Datadyne corp. He confessed that he had been forced by the Maians to be their allies, that the Skedars aren't a cruel race and that they are real peacemaker. He also announced he wasn't going to lead the Carrington Institute alone anymore. His partner is no one else than Daniel Carrington! With some new medical technology from Datadyne corp., Daniel Carrington was revived. Is the beginning of a new era where humans could have eternal life? Stay tunned at this special report of the news"
"…Oh my god…James…Velvet…Jonathan…I think you would like to hear what they are saying at the news", Becky said with a suddenly very pale face.
End of chapter 7
Sorry for this short chapter, it was supposed to be longer but I didn't find any other time to finish it. I won't be surprised if you find more mistakes in this one. This is my birthday today but I have a lot of work to do…yay…Next chapter will probably be 50 times better than this one.
Peachrocks: Of course, Jonathan isn't cheerful all the time, but it had been a while he hadn't done any jokes…this is why I put the mud war I'm looking forward your next chapter.
Fan Fiction Enjoyer: Je suis contente que tu aies aimé le dernier chapitre
Fantasy Chick 3435 : Yeah…I wanted to do a fluffy scene where Elvis is interrupting Jo and Jon. Probably the last thing you should blame Jonathan for is that he isn't doing his job well, this is why he got angry so easily. You can tell him he's a moron, stupid, an imbecile but don't tell him he's an incompetent :D
Spider-bear: I'm glad you liked the scene with Elvis :) But I've never seen the TV show you're talking about…
TetraLink17: You're not the only one to like the Elvis part. I should put more funny scene like this…
Esteban T. Rodriguez: Hal is based on Hal Emmerich, a character from Metal Gear Solid: the twin snakes, a game that I recommend cause it really rocks…It's probably very hard to write your story only during lunch, it takes me a few hour just for one chapter…
Thank you all for your reviews, it's very appreciated.
