Chapter 13

The next day, Eysteinn was chained to a hospital bed when Agent Anna Brynja entered the room with her partner. Agent Sindri closed the door.

"We want to know who you are working for. We've asked you before and this time you're going to answer us." Anna told him.

"What makes you think I will tell you anything? I won't betray my brothers." The villain said smugly. Agent Sindri went over to Eysteinn's left knee and pressed down on it.

"Tell us or I promise your knee won't be the only thing that hurts." He said in broken English.

"What difference does it make? I'll be dead soon anyway. I'm sure the good people of LazyTown will not spare me after I murdered a former hero of theirs and even if they don't your people will make sure I pay for my crime. I will take my secret to the grave." Eysteinn remained firm despite being in a lot of pain. Anna decided to try something. She told her partner to leave them alone.

"Whatever they plan to do to you, I can offer you protection. We'll relocate you to serve your sentence some place else." Agent Brynja offered.

"What makes you think you can protect me? The brotherhood has eyes everywhere. I will die because I failed." The criminal told her.

"If they're going to kill you, why not tell us? It looks like a lose-lose situation for you. Just tell me and maybe I can keep you alive." Anna didn't like that she had to do this. But if she didn't, Sportacus and Stephanie may never get the chance to live a normal life. Eysteinn thought about what she said. He could never rat out the brotherhood. But the agent had a point. Ten minutes later, Agent Brynja walked out of the room with a huge smile on her face.

Sportacus and Stephanie were in Captain Dogooder's office when the two Interpol Agents walked in. The Captain asked what was going on.

"We have had a major break through in the case. Eysteinn has told me everything." Agent Brynja said very excited.

"He has? How did you manage that?" Sportacus asked.

"It appears that he figured that if was going to die anyway it didn't matter anymore. He gave me the name of the organization and where they were last located. I've put Eysteinn under twenty-four-hour surveillance." Anna explained.

"So what's the organization called?" Stephanie asked.

"It's called the banamaður Skuggi. (The Killer Shadows) They're a branch of The League of Shadows." Agent Sindri told her.

"When do you want to strike?" Captain Dogooder asked.

"As soon as possible. The banamaður Skuggi are currently outside FunTown near SleepyTown." Anna told the Captain.

"I'll call up SleepyTown and FunTown and let them know what's going on. We'll need all the manpower we can get." Dogooder said picking up the phone.

"Good, the faster we hit them the better the chance that we capture the boss." Anna replied.

"I want in." Sportacus said.

"No, I can't allow that. If something goes wrong and you end up dead then they've accomplished their mission. Besides I don't want to leave Stephanie without a husband." Agent Brynja told him.

"All right let's roll. FunTown and SleepyTown have agreed to lend us their SWAT teams." Captain Dogooder said. The two Interpol Agents and the Captain rushed out of the office. Sportacus and Stephanie followed.
