Chapter Fifteen: Silencerz Interrogation

Vert struggled paced along the white walls of his room. He had been awake for exactly seven minutes now and he was going crazy. There was nothing to look at, nothing to do, and nothing to kill himself with. Vert stopped walking, and with nothing to do, he threw himself on the ground.

The door silently slid open, revealing the gray-haired man that had left Kara's room. Vert never suspected a thing as the man walked in and leaned over his eagle-spread body.

Vert slowly opened his eyes after a couple seconds. He jumped out from under the man with a shout, scrambling crab-style until his back was against a wall.

"Hello," Said the man.

"What the...? Who are you?" Vert exclaimed.

"I... I'm Admiral Graymond of the Silencerz Agency, and you, boy, are going to tell me what I want to know; before this gets ugly."

"Where's Kara?"

"That's for me to know, and for you to not find out."

"Where is she?" Vert said, pushing himself to his feet.

"If you don't tell me what I want to know, Vert, you won't ever see her again. So start talking,"

"I want to know where she's at before I tell you anything, Graymond." Vert stepped forward angrily.

"Too bad," Said Graymond, pulling out a small cell phone. "If you don't calm down... I can call my assistant, and she can kill your girl if I tell her to do so."

Vert looked down; he was defeated. If he had ever let anything happen to Kara... it would not only be on his mind, but he would have to face her gang, her brother, and her uncle too.

"That's right," Said Graymond gently. "Now let's talk,"

VVVVVVVVVV

Kara hung limply in her shackles. The girl glared at her intensely, and if looks could kill, Kara would be long past dead.

"How do you feel, Miss Kara?" She asked, walking up to Kara and placing a perfectly manicured finger beneath her chin to lift her head to eye level.

"If you mean my arms? They went numb long ago. I would check to see if they were turning purple, but I can't seem to turn my head!" Kara replied, shouting into the girl's face. "But if you mean my pride and dignity... well, hanging here against my will hasn't really done much to hurt it. You're gonna have to do better than this, 'cause I ain't tellin' you anything!"

The blonde pulled away with disgust. "Well, we'll just have to do something about that, won't we?" She said, pulling out a tiny phone. She pressed a button, then to her ear. "Yeah, I got the same thing." The girl spun on her heel towards Kara after a couple minutes of conversation. "Hmm... fine," She finished, putting up the phone. "Well, well, it looks like your little boyfriend is giving us a hard time too."

Kara thought for a second. "Who?"

The blonde sighed. "Mr. Vert Wheeler doesn't seem to know a thing about your uncle or what he's been hiding."

"Huh? Leave Vert out of this!"

"Right, like I would, he's my cousin anyway."

No wonder she looked so much like Trinity! "What's you name?" Kara asked, tugging at the metal cuffs.

Smiling, she walked to the wall a pressed on it. A small box popped out and opened, revealing a bunch of little red buttons. The girl pressed one and the cuffs that held Kara to the wall slid out, and Kara pressed her feet to the floor and pulled down, hoping to get leverage.

The girl laughed. "Don't bother; the only way you're getting out of those is with this key." She motioned to a small chip that hung around her neck. "But," She continued pressing another button. "That doesn't mean we can't have a little fun." The circular bands closed tighter on Kara's wrists, then disconnected from the wall. Kara fell face first and broke the fall by turning on her side and landing on her sore shoulders. She cried out in pain as she heard her shoulder crack. The metal bands that linked her wrists prevented her from doing anything about it, so she just laid on her back, moaning. Her arms were cold and had a purple hue about them, but they were still numb.

"My name is Corporal Serena Wheeler, and I was trained in Torture and Interrogation."

VVVVVVVVVV

Vert watched as Graymond hung up the phone. "I told you everything I know," He said quietly. "I told you everything I know, please don't hurt her."

Graymond stared at the blonde boy sitting on the floor. "Don't worry, I have a feeling you two will be reunited soon." He said with an evil grin. "In the meantime, someone wants to see you." He walked to the door and it slid open. There was a low mumbling as Graymond talked with somebody, then another man walked into the room.

"Vert?" He said.

"...Dad?"

VVVVVVVVVV

"Well, Miss Kara, how do you feel now?" Taunted Serena.

Kara never replied, because the metal cuffs that had held her wrists were sending about a hundred volts of electricity through her body.

"Did you know that to electrocute somebody," Serena went on. "You need 2000 volts of electricity." She pressed the electricity-button again, stopping the current. "You should tell me what I need to know before I'm forced to give you a heart attack; literally."

Kara closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. It didn't really hurt all that much... yet. 2000 volts was a lot of electricity, but she knew that by looking in Serena's eyes, she could tell that Serena would not hesitate to use more than that. Kara, though, couldn't bring herself to tell Serena what she knew about her uncle's experiments and so called "projects".

"Are you going to tell me?" Said Serena with a hint of joy in her voice.

"...Stop," Kara managed weakly.

"Stop what?"

"I... I can tell you,"

"Marvelous," Serena said, clapping her hands. She crouched next to Kara's body. "Now, what is the Equilateral Disk?"
